Copyright

Recipes can only be submitted to AceRecipe.com by registered members. All members should be aware of the following issues before submitting recipes to the site.

Due to their variable and changing nature, recipes are inherently difficult to copyright. For example:

A list of ingredients can not be protected by copyright

The exact wording for a method can be protected by copyright if it is deemed to be original.

Revising the wording for a known method does not breach the original author's copyright, provided the revised version does not copy a substantial part of the original wording.

A method could be considered original if it contains information personal or specific to the author e.g. "My father used to make this for me every day before I go to school..." or "I made this for my daughter who is now two years old...", although this is not a definitive test of whether or not the recipe is covered by copyright. All members who submit recipes to Best Recipes should use their own words to describe the method for a particular recipe. By all means acknowledge the original source of the idea, but the text of the recipe should be identifiable as your own.

If you believe a recipe on this site infringes on your copyright please contact us (admin @ acerecipe.com). Please include any additional information that supports your claim e.g. where your recipe was originally published, exact text of the method etc.
