Copyright and Trademark Policy
This policy explains how TPMade handles customer-submitted artwork, product designs, copyright concerns, and trademark concerns.
Last updated: May 27, 2026
Quick Summary
Customers are responsible for making sure they have the legal right to use any artwork, logo, photo, text, name, design, or brand material submitted for custom printing.
TPMade may refuse, cancel, remove, or disable any order, design, or product listing that appears to violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other intellectual property rights.
Customer-Submitted Artwork
When you submit artwork, logos, photos, names, slogans, text, or other design files to TPMade, you confirm that you own the rights to use those materials or have permission from the rights owner.
This applies to custom shirt orders, uploaded design files, quote requests, email attachments, online messages, and any other materials submitted for printing.
Designs We May Refuse
TPMade may refuse or cancel orders that include content we believe may be unauthorized, infringing, misleading, illegal, or inappropriate.
Examples may include:
- Brand logos used without permission
- Sports team logos or league marks used without permission
- School, business, military, government, or organization logos used without authorization
- Copyrighted characters, images, artwork, or photos used without permission
- Names, images, or likenesses of people used without permission where required
- Designs that falsely suggest sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation
Copyright Concerns
Copyright protects original creative works such as artwork, photos, illustrations, graphics, writing, and certain design files.
If you believe material on our website, product listings, or printed products infringes your copyright, please email us with enough information for us to review the claim.
Trademark Concerns
Trademarks can include names, logos, slogans, symbols, and brand identifiers used to show the source of goods or services.
If you believe material on our website, product listings, or printed products infringes your trademark rights or creates confusion about brand ownership, sponsorship, or affiliation, please email us with the details.
How to Report a Concern
To report a copyright or trademark concern, email support@tpmade.com and include:
- Your full name and contact email
- The name of the rights owner, if different from you
- A description of the copyrighted work or trademark you believe is being used improperly
- A link, screenshot, order reference, or description showing where the material appears on TPMade
- A statement that you believe the use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate
- Your physical or electronic signature
Our Review Process
After we receive a copyright or trademark concern, we may review the information, remove or disable the material, cancel or pause an order, contact the customer who submitted the artwork, or request additional information.
We may also reject repeat submissions from customers who repeatedly provide artwork or design files that appear to violate intellectual property rights.
No Legal Approval
Accepting a design file, preparing a quote, creating a mockup, or printing an order does not mean TPMade has verified that the customer owns or has permission to use the submitted materials.
The customer remains responsible for the artwork and design materials they submit.
