The Service and its original content (including but not limited to recipes, articles, text, original photography, graphics, videos, and logos), features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Mona Recipes and its designated licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws of both the United States and foreign jurisdictions.

Copyright Policy (DMCA Notice)

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. It is our strict policy to respond promptly to any claim that Content posted on the Service infringes the copyright or other intellectual property infringement of any person or entity.

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized on behalf of one, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement taking place through the Service, you must submit your notice in writing to the attention of our "Copyright Manager" via email at . You must include in your notice a detailed description of the alleged infringement, including the exact URL of the content in question and proof of your original ownership.

2. Limited Use License

Permission is granted to temporarily download or print one single copy of the materials (such as a recipe card or informational article) on Mona Recipes's website for your personal, non-commercial transitory viewing and home cooking use only. This is the grant of a limited, revocable license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you strictly may not:

• Modify, edit, or copy the materials to pass them off as your own original work;
• Use the materials for any commercial purpose, including scraping for AI training, republishing on other food blogs, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);
• Attempt to decompile, reverse engineer, or scrape any software, coding, or database contained on Mona Recipes's website;
• Remove any copyright, watermark, or other proprietary notations from the photography or text; or
• Transfer the materials to another person or "mirror" the materials on any other server or website.

This license shall automatically and immediately terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by Mona Recipes at any time at our sole discretion. Upon terminating your viewing of these materials or upon the termination of this license, you must permanently destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format.

3. User Accounts and Comments

When you create an account with us or leave a comment on a recipe, you must provide us with information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of these Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account or the permanent deletion of your comments.

We actively moderate our community to ensure a safe, welcoming environment. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to edit, remove, or refuse to publish any comment that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be offensive, spammy, overly promotional, disrespectful to our authors or other users, or otherwise violating these Terms.

• To impersonate or attempt to impersonate Mona Recipes, a Mona Recipes employee, another user, or any other person or entity.
• To engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of the Service, or which, as determined by us, may harm Mona Recipes or users of the Service or expose them to liability.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State where Mona Recipes is headquartered in the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

What constitutes a material change will be determined entirely at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you are no longer authorized to use the Service.
