Terms and Conditions for Recipe Submissions

These are the terms and conditions for submitting recipes to this website.

What do you accept in recipes?

While we love getting recipes somehow connected to our local area — or related to travel in some way, we’ll pretty much accept any type of recipe in our recipes section.

Some special formatting is required for recipes submissions.

As recipes have a “card” that has all of the content nicely formatted so it can be printed, saved in recipe apps, etc, there’s some special formatting required when submitting a recipe. The main form, when submitted, will then redirect you to the recipe form where all of the ingredients and instructions go. Then, when that’s submitted you’ll get the final confirmation page.

If you don’t submit both, we cannot publish your recipe. If we get one without the other, you’ll likely hear from us, either from a DM on our site or via email (or both).

Terms for submitting recipes:

When you submit a recipe to our site, you agree to the following:

• We have the right to decline the recipe for any reason. When we decline to publish content, notification is in the form of an automated email and we cannot give the exact reason. With recipes it’s usually because a component was missing, it’s too similar to something we already have, or the language needs too much editing on our part.
• Unless the recipe is sponsored and we’ve come to an agreement or unless you are in the partner program end eligible for potential post payment, we will not pay you for posts and we will not receive payment.
• We have the right to remove content at any time. You can request to have your posts removed but the final decision will be up to us. We often do a lot of work on editing a post pre-publication and don’t like to remove content once it’s posted. We will not remove posts that have had funds paid out in the partner program and will not pay out any funds if you request to have your post removed before it has generated enough funds for payment.
• It is up to us whether we “nofollow” or “dofollow” links. If it’s a sponsored post, we will always mark sponsored links with a rel=”sponsored” tag and disclose that the post is sponsored. If you add affiliate links to your guest post, we’ll also add that tag if it doesn’t already exist for those links. We reserve the right to change the link tags for (unpaid) guest posts if we suspect that dofollowing links is causing SEO issues.
• You may be able to add your own affiliate links to your post if it does not break the terms of those affiliate agreements. Such links will be marked as sponsored. You can only add affiliate links if they add some value to your post. If your post is in the partner program, we will replace any affiliate links that we can in your post with our own links and then revenue share with you as explained in the partner terms.
• Unless it is a sponsored post, ads will be shown alongside your post. We use contextual advertising and do not have granular control over which ads appear on our site.
• Visitors will be able to comment on your post and leave ratings. We appreciate it if you respond to people who leave comments on your post.
• We don’t generally post recipes to social media unless we can connect them in some way with travel or the PNW. We do post recipes to Pinterest. However, we do not guarantee that we will post to social or guarantee your post any particular “reach.” Most visitors come to our site via search engine traffic and Pinterest has been our best referrer. You, however, are free to share your post wherever you’d like.
