Copyright and takedown

Spatterbook has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement with the United States Copyright Office, under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(2).

The designation can be verified in the Office's public Designated Agent Directory.

People give us a link, some text, or a screenshot. We read a recipe out of it and keep it in their account, along with the source it came from and, where the source page published one, a copy of its photograph so the recipe does not break when the original moves.

Every one of those copies is private to the person who made it, stored at their direction, and visible to nobody else. We do not aggregate, rank, publish or sell them.

Email copyright@spatterbook.com with:

• What the work is, and where we can see it (a URL is ideal).
• Enough detail to find the material here — the recipe title and the source URL it was captured from.
• Your name, address, telephone number and email.
• A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We act on valid notices promptly. We will remove or disable the material and tell the account holder what went and why.

You can send a counter-notice to the same address, with your contact details, identification of what was removed, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification. We will pass it to the person who complained. If they do not go to court, we may restore the material.

We close the accounts of repeat infringers. An account that repeatedly attracts valid notices will be terminated, and its contents deleted with it.

A notice is a legal statement made under penalty of perjury. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing carries liability for damages, including costs and legal fees. If you are unsure whether something is yours to complain about, ask us first — we would rather have the conversation.
