Artwork & Intellectual Property Policy

This policy forms part of our Terms of Service as Additional Terms (Section 9). It explains who owns the artwork on your order, what you promise us, and what we do with your files.

1. You keep ownership

You keep all rights to the artwork, photos, text and references you upload. We don't claim ownership of them.

2. Your promise to us

You own everything you upload, type or use to generate a design, or you have written permission from the owner. Don't upload copyrighted characters, logos, team or college marks, band art, song lyrics, photos you didn't take, or a real person's name or likeness without permission. If you have a license, email it to support@tshirts.com before ordering.

3. Permission you give us

You give us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, copy and adjust your design (resize, remove backgrounds, clean edges, convert colors) only to make, ship, reprint and support your order. We won't sell your design or use it in our marketing without asking you first.

4. AI-generated designs

Generated designs are created from your prompts and references. AI output can resemble existing work, may be similar to what other people generate, isn't exclusive to you, and may not be protected by copyright. Review it before ordering — you're responsible for making sure you can use it. Any references you upload must be yours to use.

5. Designs from our library

Premade, template and licensed designs belong to us or our licensors. You can order them on our products; you can't copy, extract or resell the artwork on its own.

6. What we won't print

• Content that infringes someone's copyright, trademark or likeness.
• Hate, harassment or threats.
• Sexually explicit content.
• Content that promotes violence or illegal activity.
• Other people's private information.

We may review any design and refuse or cancel an order, with a full refund, if it breaks this policy.

7. If there's a claim

You're responsible for claims arising from content you submit, as set out in Terms of Service Section 22 (Indemnification).

8. Report infringement (DMCA)

If you believe a design on our site, or a product we made, infringes your rights, send a notice to our Designated Agent: Ryan Siney, rsiney@tuckerlaw.com. Your notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. The copyrighted work (or other right) you say is infringed.
3. The material you say is infringing, and where it is (a link, order or product), with enough detail for us to find it.
4. Your name, address, phone number and email.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you're the owner or authorized to act for them.

Counter-notice. If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send our Designated Agent a counter-notice with your signature; the material removed and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and phone number with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, outside the US, any district where we can be found) and to accept service from the person who sent the notice. We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant and may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless they tell us they've filed a court action.

We remove infringing material and end service for repeat infringers.

9. How we store your files

Uploads, print files and order details are stored securely so we can print, reprint and support your order, and are kept as long as needed for that and our legal obligations. Designs you save in the studio stay on your device. To ask us to delete your files, email support@tshirts.com. See our Privacy Policy for more.
