About Recipe Bay

There is no doubt that recipes are a wonderful, yet personal, expression of each and every person that takes the time to create them.   Due to the nature of the internet, these recipes are currently scattered all over the internet and can often be difficult to find.  Recipe Bay was created as a place to collect many of the best recipes that have been posted around the internet.   We also have a number of users who submit their personal favorite recipes.

Each recipe includes all necessary ingredients, directions to complete the recipe, and full credit is given to the source.   Our users can then try the recipes and provide feedback at the bottom of the page.

Recipe Bay Disclaimer

Recipe Bay is run by Apricot Media, who respects others intellectual property rights and has made every effort to secure appropriate clearances for all proprietary intellectual properties and we require our authors to do the same.   All posts that originated elsewhere are given full credit by providing a link at the bottom of each recipe to the original post.

Apricot Media will respond to allegations of copyright violations in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA“). The DMCA provides a process for a copyright owner to give notification to an online service provider concerning alleged copyright infringement. When a valid DMCA notification is received, the service provider responds under this process by taking down the offending content. Upon taking down content under the DMCA, Apricot Media will take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed content so that a counter-notification may be filed. On receiving a valid counter-notification, we generally restore the content in question, unless we receive notice from the notification provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity. You may use the notification process below to alert us to claims of infringement other than copyright but such notifications are not covered by the DMCA and will be governed by our Terms of Use. Please be aware that many recipes and certain other content are not capable of copyright. If your notice of infringement relates to a recipe, then you may want to review the U.S. Copyright Offices Circular on the copyrightability of recipes prior to reporting your notice of infringement.

Please note that these notifications and counter-notifications are real-world legal notices provided outside of the Apricot Media Online Services environment. Apricot Media may provide copies of such notices to the participants in the dispute or third parties, at our discretion and as required by law – the Privacy Policy for Apricot Media does not protect information provided in these notices.
