Intellectual Property Policy

DTFTransfers takes the intellectual property rights of our customers and of third parties seriously. This Intellectual Property Policy explains who owns what when you upload artwork to us, the permission you give us in order to print it, and how to report content you believe infringes your rights.

By using our sites you agree to this Policy. It forms part of, and is incorporated into, our Terms of Service. We may update this Policy at any time by posting a revised version here.

1. Your artwork stays yours

Any artwork, photographs, images, text, graphics or other material you upload or send to us (your "Designs") remains your property. Nothing in this Policy transfers ownership of your Designs to us.

2. The permission you give us to print

To fulfil an order we need your permission to handle your Designs. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, adapt, prepare and print your Designs, and to transmit them to the parts of our production and shipping process that need them, for the purpose of producing and delivering the products you have ordered and of showing you how your Designs will appear on a product before you order.

Adapting a Design means the ordinary production steps — resizing, colour conversion, positioning on a sheet, and similar preparation needed to print it correctly. It does not mean changing your design's content.

This licence lasts as long as we need it to fulfil your order and to keep the business records we are required to keep. It does not permit us to sell your Designs or to license them to anyone else.

3. Using your Designs in our own marketing

We will not use your Designs in our advertising, samples or promotional material without asking you first. If we would like to feature something you have had printed, we will contact you and ask for your permission.

4. What you promise us

When you upload a Design you confirm that you own it, or that you have permission from the rights holder to have it printed on the products you are ordering, and that printing it will not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, right of publicity or other rights. You are responsible for your Designs, and you accept liability for any Design that does not comply with this Policy.

We are a printer, not a rights clearing house. We do not verify ownership of the artwork we receive, and we rely on the confirmation above.

5. Designs we will not print

We may decline or cancel any order, without obligation to explain our reasoning, where we believe a Design:

  • infringes someone else's copyright, trademark or other rights;
  • is unlawful, defamatory, or promotes violence or hatred against people or groups;
  • is sexually explicit or involves the exploitation of minors; or
  • we are otherwise not willing to produce.

6. Our own intellectual property

The text, graphics, layout, logos, product photography, design tools and software on our sites belong to us or to our licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not copy, republish or use them for commercial purposes without our written permission. Nothing on our sites grants you a licence to use our trademarks.

7. Reporting infringement (DMCA)

If you believe material on our sites infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent containing:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed;
  • identification of the material you are asking us to remove, with enough detail for us to find it;
  • your name, address, telephone number and email address;
  • a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the rights holder or the law; and
  • a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf.

Designated agent for notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512):

Allison Z. Gifford, Esq.
Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP
30 Valley Stream Parkway
Malvern, PA 19355
610-640-5800
trademarks@stradley.com

Please note that under the DMCA you may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, if you knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing.

8. Counter-notification

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send our designated agent a counter-notification containing your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement made under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed in error, and your name, address and telephone number together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district.

9. Repeat infringers

We may suspend or close the account of any customer who is the subject of repeated infringement complaints, and we may decline to do further business with them.

10. Trademark concerns

Trademark complaints may be sent to the same designated agent above. Please identify the mark you rely on, its registration details if any, and the material you are concerned about.
