DMCA Compliance

Cozyrecipebites complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and has adopted the following procedures for handling copyright infringement notices:

Step 1 – Identify the Infringing Content

If you believe that a user has posted or distributed copyrighted content from Cozyrecipebites without permission, gather the following information:

• URL of the infringing page or location.
• Description of the copyrighted work (e.g., recipe title, image description).
• Proof of ownership or the authority to act on behalf of the copyright holder.

Step 2 – Submit a DMCA Notice

Send a written DMCA notice to [email protected] containing the information listed above. The notice must be signed (physical or electronic) and must include the following elements:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work.
2. Location of the infringing material.
3. Statement that the notice is made in good faith.
4. Contact information of the complainant.
5. A statement that the complainant has a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

Step 3 – Review and Response

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, Cozyrecipebites will review the claim within 10 business days. If the claim is found to be valid, we will remove or disable access to the infringing content. If we determine the claim is not valid, we will notify the user who posted the content and may take further action, such as account suspension, if the user continues to violate the policy.

Step 4 – Counter‑Notice

If a user believes the removal was in error, they may submit a counter‑notice to [email protected] with the following:

1. Identification of the removed content and its location.
2. A statement that the user has a good faith belief that the removal was incorrect.
3. Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the user’s residence.
4. Signature of the user or a legal representative.

Following a valid counter‑notice, Cozyrecipebites may restore the content unless the copyright owner files a lawsuit or requests us to keep it removed.

Content Attribution

When sharing a link to Cozyrecipebites content, we encourage users to provide proper attribution. A simple and effective way to attribute is:

“Recipe by Cozyrecipebites – https://cozyrecipebites.com”

For images, the caption should read:

“Photo by Cozyrecipebites – https://cozyrecipebites.com”

Proper attribution not only respects the creators’ rights but also helps maintain the integrity of the culinary community and encourages the sharing of authentic, high‑quality content.
