Community content license. Version 2026-10.
This license covers the recipes, photos and other content you send to DupeEats (your "submission"). "DupeEats", "we" and "us" mean the owner of the DupeEats website named in our Legal notice.
1. It's yours. You confirm that: you wrote the recipe text and took the photos yourself; the photos show food you cooked; you haven't copied any of it from someone else, from a restaurant or from the internet; anyone recognizable in your photos agreed to be shown, and no one under 18 can be identified in them; and any social account you link is yours. If any of this isn't true, we'll take your submission down.
2. You keep ownership. Your submission stays yours. You give DupeEats a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, publish and display your submission, and to edit, adapt and translate it, on dupeeats.com, in our emails and newsletter, and on DupeEats social media accounts and videos (for example TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube). "Non-exclusive" means you can still share your recipe and photos anywhere else you like.
3. The changes you agree to. To publish your submission we may: fix spelling and grammar; shorten or reorder text; convert units and quantities; format ingredients and steps in our house style; crop, resize, straighten, brighten or compress photos and remove their metadata; add captions, titles, text, music, sound or voice-over in videos and posts; and combine your submission with other content, for example in compilations, round-ups and rankings. We use automated tools, including AI tools, to help check and format submissions. We won't change what your recipe is, and we won't edit your content in a way that distorts it or harms your reputation.
4. Moral rights. Where the law gives you moral rights, such as the right to be credited and to object to distorting changes, you keep them. Section 3 is your consent to those specific kinds of changes. Where the law allows you to waive moral rights, you agree not to use them against those changes. Where it doesn't (for example, in Spain), this is only a consent to those changes, never a waiver.
5. Credit. Whenever we use your submission, we credit you the way you chose: your display name, your name and a link to your social account, or anonymously. In videos and social posts we credit you in the caption or on screen, where the platform allows it. You can change how we credit you for future use by writing to us.
6. Social platforms. When we post your submission on a social platform, we give that platform the rights its own terms require to host and show the post. That platform's terms and privacy policy then apply to the post, and some platforms use public posts to improve their own services. We don't control that.
7. What we never do. We don't sell your submission. We don't license it to anyone to train artificial intelligence models. The service providers that help us check submissions may not use it to train their models. We don't use your submission in paid ads for other companies.
8. How long it lasts, and taking it down. The license starts when you send your submission and lasts while it's on DupeEats. You can ask us to take it down at any time, using the "Your data" form or by email. We'll remove it from dupeeats.com within 30 days, usually within a few days, and we won't use it in new emails, posts or videos. Emails already sent can't be recalled, and posts and videos already published may stay up, with your credit, under this license.
9. No payment, no obligation. We don't pay for submissions, and you don't pay us. We may decide not to publish a submission, or to stop showing it, under our Terms of use.
10. Our rules. Your submission must follow our Terms of use and community rules: no calories, diets or health claims; no restaurant logos, packaging or official photos; nothing copied; no links or ads.
11. Record. We keep a record that you accepted this version of the license (the version, a fingerprint of the text, the date and your credit choice), so we can show what was agreed.
