• Personal Copying: You may download or copy content to a personal device (e.g., a phone, tablet, or computer) solely for offline personal use.

All permitted uses must preserve the original content in its entirety. Any alteration, removal of copyright notices, or other changes that could misrepresent the source or ownership of the material is disallowed.

DMCA Compliance

Dishsizzle complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and provides a clear process for copyright owners to request the removal of infringing content. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on our site without permission, please follow these steps:

1. Contact Dishsizzle: Send a written notice to [email protected] detailing the location of the infringing content and the nature of the infringement.
2. Provide Verification: Include evidence that you are the copyright holder or an authorized agent, such as a copy of the registration certificate or a signed statement of ownership.
3. Describe the Content: Provide the URL(s) of the offending material and a brief description of the copyrighted work involved.
4. Request Removal: Clearly state that you request the removal or disabling of the infringing content and that you are willing to provide additional information if needed.
5. DMCA Notice Format: While we accept informal emails, we recommend including the following elements to expedite processing:
   • Full legal name, address, and contact information of the copyright owner.
   • Statement of ownership or authority to act on behalf of the owner.
   • Detailed description of the copyrighted work and the location of the infringing content.
   • Statement of good faith belief that use is unauthorized.
   • Statement that the information provided is accurate and a statement of authority to act on behalf of the owner.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, Dishsizzle will promptly investigate and, if the claim is found to be valid, remove or disable access to the infringing content. Dishsizzle reserves the right to counter‑notify if we believe the removal is unwarranted. If a counter‑notice is filed, we will restore the content unless the original copyright owner initiates legal proceedings.

Content Attribution

When you share links or reference Dishsizzle content in a manner that is not covered by the permitted uses, you must provide proper attribution. Attribution should include:

• Full name of the content creator or Dishsizzle as the copyright holder.
• Title of the recipe or article.
• Direct URL to the original content on Dishsizzle.com.
• Statement that the content is © 2026 Dishsizzle, all rights reserved.

Proper attribution is a courtesy and a best practice, but it does not grant you the right to reproduce or distribute the content. If you wish to use any portion of a recipe, image, or other material beyond a brief excerpt, you must seek explicit permission from Dishsizzle.
