Copyright Policy

Effective · Version 1

See also: Terms of Service · Privacy Policy

In plain English

  • If something in Kitchen on Hand uses your copyrighted work without permission, email our copyright agent with the details listed below.
  • If we removed something you posted by mistake, you can send a counter-notice.
  • We close the accounts of repeat infringers.

This summary is here to help you read the document. The numbered sections below are the policy.

1. Our policy

Summit Systems LLC (doing business as Kitchen on Hand) respects the intellectual property of others and expects the people who use Kitchen on Hand to do the same. Most of what’s in the Service is put there by restaurants — item and recipe photos, invoice photos and text. If you believe something in the Service infringes your copyright, tell our designated agent as described below and we will respond as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides, which can include removing or disabling access to the material. We keep a record of each notice and what we did about it.

We end, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright.

3. Sending a notice

Your notice must be in writing and include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is enough in an email);
  2. the copyrighted work you believe is infringed (or, for several works, a representative list);
  3. the material you believe is infringing and where it is — for example the page address, or a description detailed enough for us to find it;
  4. your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address;
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)). If you’re not sure, consider asking a lawyer first. We may send a copy of your notice to the person who posted the material.

4. If your material was removed: counter-notice

If we removed or disabled material you posted and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send our agent (Section 2) a counter-notice that includes:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. the material that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed;
  3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  4. your name, address and telephone number; and
  5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you’re outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We’ll send your counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the infringement, we may restore the material between 10 and 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.
