Copyright Infringement

It is LoveWithFood’s policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on this Website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent with the following information:

(1) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
(2) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on this Website;
(3) your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
(4) a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
(5) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf, and
(6) the signature of the copyright owner or of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Any notification that fails to comply with the requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon LoveWithFood actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. There can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA, and LoveWithFood suggests that you consult with your legal advisor before filing a notice with LoveWithFood's Copyright Agent. LoveWithFood may, in appropriate circumstances and in its sole discretion, terminate the accounts of users who may be repeat infringers or otherwise prohibit such users from accessing the website.
