1. Whose work is on Cravable

Cravable shows words, pictures and names from four places: people who start and join craves, kitchens, Cravable itself, and AI tools that draw illustrations for us.

  • You own the words you write: a crave’s description, the story behind a dish, and anything else you post. Our Terms of Service explain the permission you give us to show it.
  • Kitchens own their names, logos, photos and their own words about their food. A kitchen’s recipe and the way it cooks are its own, and it never has to publish them.
  • Cravable owns the site, its design, the Cravable name and wordmark, and the line Craved. Reserved. Made.
  • AI illustrations are made for Cravable from a dish’s description. They’re labeled AI illustration wherever a crave opens.

A plain list of ingredients usually isn’t protected by copyright, but the words, photos and stories around a dish can be. Nobody owns a traditional dish. Two kitchens can make jollof rice, each in its own way.

2. Reporting work that copies yours

If you believe something on Cravable infringes your copyright, email legal@cravable.ai with Copyright in the subject, or write to our copyright agent at the address below. Your notice needs:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature, or that of someone authorized to act for you.
  2. What work you believe was copied. If there are several, a list is fine.
  3. Where it is on Cravable: the link to the crave, page or picture, with enough detail for us to find it.
  4. Your name, postal address, phone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn’t authorized by you, your agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you’re the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

These six points are what the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) asks for. Under that law, someone who knowingly misrepresents that material infringes can be liable for the costs that causes.

When we receive a complete notice, we remove or disable the material promptly and tell the person who posted it.

Copyright agent: [Name or title], [Cravable legal entity], [mailing address], legal@cravable.ai. The agent is also listed in the US Copyright Office’s directory of designated agents.

3. If we removed something of yours by mistake

If we removed something you posted and you believe it was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It needs:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. What was removed and where it appeared before it was removed.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the US, any judicial district where Cravable may be found) and that you’ll accept service of legal papers from the person who sent the original notice.

We send your counter-notice to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they’ve filed a court action to stop the use, we put the material back within 10 to 14 business days after we received your counter-notice.

4. Repeat infringement

We close, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of people who repeatedly post material that infringes other people’s copyrights.

5. Names, logos and trademarks

Kitchens use their own business names on Cravable. If a kitchen or a crave uses your name or logo in a way that could confuse people about who made a dish or who’s behind it, email legal@cravable.ai with the link and what your mark is. We’ll look into it and may remove or change the listing.

You may not use the Cravable name, wordmark or the line Craved. Reserved. Made. in a way that suggests we endorse you or work with you, without our written permission. You’re welcome to link to Cravable and to share craves with the share button.

6. AI illustrations

Cravable’s AI illustrations are drawn by an AI model from a dish’s description. They aren’t meant to copy anyone’s photo or artwork. If you think one looks like a copy of your work, report it as in section 2 and we’ll replace it.
