Copyright Policy

At Artwearnook (Artwearnook.com), we are committed to respecting intellectual property rights and fostering creativity in a lawful and ethical manner. This Copyright Policy explains how we handle copyrighted material, both in the content we provide and the designs submitted by our customers for custom products such as apparel, mugs, flags, and other merchandise. By using our website or services, you agree to comply with this policy and all applicable copyright laws.

1. Intellectual Property of Artwearnook

All content on Artwearnook.com, including but not limited to text, images, logos, designs, templates, graphics, and website layouts (collectively, “Artwearnook Content”), is the property of Artwearnook or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. This includes any pre-designed templates or artwork provided on our platform for use in customizing products.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, display, or create derivative works of Artwearnook Content without our prior written permission, except as expressly permitted for personal, non-commercial use in connection with creating and ordering products through Artwearnook.com. Unauthorized use of Artwearnook Content may result in legal action and termination of your access to our services.

2. Customer-Submitted Designs

As a platform that allows customers to submit their own designs for printing on custom products, Artwearnook places significant responsibility on users to ensure their submissions comply with copyright laws.

a. Your Responsibilities

When you submit designs, images, text, or other content (“Customer Content”) for printing on our products, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are the creator and owner of the Customer Content, or you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, or permissions to use and reproduce the content.
  • The Customer Content does not infringe on the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any third party.
  • The Customer Content does not violate any person’s rights of privacy, publicity, or other personal rights, nor does it contain defamatory, obscene, or unlawful material.
  • You are solely responsible for ensuring the legality of your Customer Content.

b. License Granted to Artwearnook

By submitting Customer Content to Artwearnook.com, you grant Artwearnook a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, reproduce, modify, and display the Customer Content solely for the purpose of fulfilling your order (e.g., printing your design on the requested product and delivering it to you). This license terminates once your order is completed, unless otherwise required for record-keeping or legal purposes.

c. Review of Customer Content

Artwearnook reserves the right, but is not obligated, to review Customer Content before processing an order. We may reject or refuse to print any Customer Content that we believe, in our sole discretion, may:

  • Infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
  • Violate applicable laws or regulations.
  • Contain offensive, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate material.

If we reject your Customer Content, we will notify you and may provide an opportunity to revise or replace the content. However, we are not responsible for verifying the legality of your submissions, and rejection does not imply a determination of infringement.
