Content Publishing Rules

CulinEire publishes recipes and food articles that are original, family-based, or properly credited adaptations. All content must be submitted in good faith by the person whose name it will appear under.

• Original recipes created by the submitting author.
• Family or personal recipes that the author has the right to share publicly.
• Adaptations of other recipes, provided the original source is clearly credited in the Source Notes field.
• Food articles, food history pieces, and culinary commentary written by the submitting author.

• Recipes or text copied verbatim from cookbooks, websites, magazines or other publications without explicit written permission from the rights holder.
• Content submitted under a name that is not the author's own (impersonation).
• Images you do not own, have not licensed, or for which you have not received written permission.
• Watermarked images, even if the watermark is cropped out. The presence of a watermark indicates the image belongs to someone else.
• AI-generated images claimed as original photography.
• Content that is defamatory, obscene, or in breach of Irish law.
• Spam, commercial promotions, or affiliate content submitted without prior agreement.

Images on CulinEire must meet the following minimum standards.

• The image must be your own photograph, a correctly licensed stock or Creative Commons image, or a public domain image.
• You must be able to demonstrate ownership or licensing rights if asked.
• Images must not contain visible watermarks, copyright notices from other services, or branding from third-party platforms.
• Cropping out a watermark does not transfer rights. Do not submit watermarked images.
• Where a licence applies (e.g. Creative Commons), include the licence name and credit in the Image Credit field when submitting.

• Content found to be in breach of these rules will be removed without notice.
• Repeated or serious violations may result in account suspension.
• CulinEire will cooperate with rights holders and relevant authorities in the event of verified copyright infringement.
• Reports of policy violations or copyright infringement can be submitted via the Report Content form.
