- Provided Content. You are fully and solely responsible for all content that

"Website Content," as defined in Section 7 of this Agreement, includes all

or incorporate into other works, any Provided Content for any purpose (commercial,
advertising, or otherwise).
In addition,
please read the following excerpt from the US Copyright Office factsheet
regarding copyright registration of recipes:
"Mere
listings of ingredients as in recipes, formulas, compounds, or prescriptions
are not subject to copyright protection. However, when a recipe or formula is
accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or
directions, or when there is a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook,
there may be a basis for copyright protection.
Protection
under the copyright law (title 17 of the U.S. Code, section 102) extends only
to "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form (a copy).
"Original" means merely that the author produced the work by his own intellectual
effort, as distinguished from copying an existing work. Copyright protection
may extend to a description, explanation, or illustration, assuming that the
requirements of the copyright law are met."

as described below, We may promptly remove or disable access to the

infringers in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").
If
You believe that Your own copyrighted work is accessible on the Website or
service in violation of Your copyright, You may provide our Designated Agent

or intellectual property that You claim has been infringed so that We can
locate the material. For example, "The copyrighted work is my content that

copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by Your Notification, You
may provide a representative list of such works at that site.

Identify the URL or other specific location on the Website
or service that contains the material that You claim infringes Your copyright
