Recipezaar Archiving Notice

You are seeing this page because you have been deemed an "archiver". If you feel you have reached this page in error, please accept our apologies and contact us at support@recipezaar.com.

What is an "archiver"?

An "archiver" is software that automatically crawls a web site intended to to store the pages on a personal computer for archival purposes.

Why we don't allow "archivers"

There are several reasons why we disallow archivers:

1) They block legitimate usage of the site. Archivers typically crawl web sites requesting several pages in rapid succession. A web site can support a limited amount of requests for pages, just as a door to a building can only accommodate a limited number of entrants in a period of time. Archivers effectively block access to others trying to use the site for legitimate purposes.

2) Recipezaar is an advertising-supported site. In exchange for advertising, we provide content for free. Archiving software takes the content (i.e., costs us money in bandwidth fees, hosting fees, maintenance fees, etc.) and avoids the advertising. This is legally considered "stealing".

3) You may simply ask us for the content. We have never refused anyone requesting our content so there is no reason to do it surreptitiously. If you would like the content, please just ask by sending mail to editor@recipezaar.com.

Have a legitimate use?

If you feel like you are archiving the web site for a legitimate purpose, please let us know (support@recipezaar.com) what you are doing and why you believe it is a legitimate use. We may be overlooking a legitimate use and would be happy to discuss this with you.
