\nThis Intellectual Property Policy explains who owns the designs, images and words on honeyshirt.com, what you may and may not do with them, how Honeyshirt avoids using other people’s trademarks and artwork, and how to raise a concern about a trademark, design right, right of publicity or any other intellectual property issue. Copyright takedown notices follow the specific process on our DMCA page; everything else starts here.
\nUnless stated otherwise, the following content on honeyshirt.com is owned by Honeyshirt or used under licence:
\nThis content is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws in the United States and in the other countries where we sell, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
\nHoneyshirt and our logo are used by us to identify our store and products. Other names, team names, brand names and marks that may be mentioned on the site, for example in a description of what a tee pairs well with, belong to their respective owners. Their mention does not mean those owners endorse or are connected with Honeyshirt, and we do not use them as design elements without permission.
\nGraphic tees sit close to pop culture, sports and humour, so we have clear rules for what goes into the Honeyshirt range:
\nNo checking process is perfect. If something slips through, section 7 explains how to tell us, and we act quickly rather than defending a design we cannot justify.
\nWhen customers personalize a tee with their own photo or text, they promise under our Terms of Service that they have the right to use that content. We refuse personalization that obviously uses someone else’s logo, team artwork, characters or celebrity images, even for private orders. A photo of your own dog is perfect; a screenshot of a team’s official logo is not. If you are not sure whether something you want printed is allowed, email us before ordering and we will tell you honestly.
\nEmail support@honeyshirt.com with the subject “IP concern”, or write to Honeyshirt, 231 Oxford Ave, Sugar Grove, IL 60554, United States. Please include:
\nFor copyright in artwork, photos or text, please use the process on our DMCA page, which asks for a few additional legal statements.
\n| Stage | \nTiming | \nOutcome | \n
|---|---|---|
| Acknowledgement | \nWithin 1 business day | \nWe confirm receipt and ask for anything missing. | \n
| Review | \nWithin 5 business days of a complete report | \nWe check the registration or right, our design records and licences. | \n
| Action | \nPromptly after a valid report | \nThe design is removed or changed, unprinted orders are stopped, and the product is withdrawn from sale. | \n
| Follow-up | \nAt the time of action | \nWe tell you what was changed and, where relevant, how future designs will be checked. | \n
If we believe the report is mistaken, for example because the design is our original work created before your mark was registered, or the mark is registered for unrelated goods, we explain our reasons and invite you to respond. Customers who ordered a design that we withdraw are contacted and offered an alternative or a full refund.
\nIf you find our designs or photos on another site or marketplace, or someone pretending to be Honeyshirt, for example a fake social account or a look-alike domain, please send us the link. It helps us protect customers from counterfeit tees and phishing. We never ask customers for passwords or card details by email or social media.
\nWe are happy to consider requests to feature our designs in press coverage, gift guides or creator content. Email us with who you are, where the content will appear, and which images or designs you want to use. Permission is granted only in writing and only for the specific use described. Licensing our designs for other merchandise is not generally available.
\nCustomers often send us design ideas: a phrase their family always says, a theme for a birthday, a request for a sport we do not cover yet. We love hearing them. Please understand that we may already be working on something similar, and that if we create a design inspired by a general idea, we do not owe compensation for it. We never publish your personal information, photos or family details in connection with an idea without your permission. If you have created finished artwork you want to sell, that is a different conversation; contact us before sending files.
\nYou may mention Honeyshirt by name in an honest review, a comparison with other tee shops, or a video about your order, and you may show the tee you bought. You may also resell a Honeyshirt tee you own on a second-hand platform and describe it accurately as a Honeyshirt tee, using your own photos of that physical shirt. What you may not do is use our product images or our name to sell newly printed copies, or describe an unrelated product as “Honeyshirt”.
\nA customer asks us to print an official team crest with their name underneath. We decline the logo because we do not hold a licence, and suggest a design in team colours with their name and a number instead, which captures the game-day spirit without using protected artwork.
\nA company sends its trademark registration for a phrase used on one of our tees. We confirm the registration covers clothing in the United States, withdraw the design within our review period, stop unprinted orders and offer affected customers an alternative or a refund. We then add the phrase to the list we check before new designs go live.
\nA customer spots one of our designs, with our mock-up photo, on a marketplace listing at half the price. They send us the link; we confirm it is our artwork and use the marketplace’s own reporting tools to have the listing removed, and we thank the customer for helping protect other shoppers from a copy of unknown quality.
\nA photographer believes a lifestyle photo on one of our category pages is his. Because this is a copyright question about a photo, we point him to the DMCA process, but we do not wait for a perfect notice before checking: we look up the licence for that image the same day, and if we cannot show we are entitled to use it, we take it down while the review continues.
\nWe may update this policy as our range grows or the law changes. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the current version.
\nFor any intellectual property question, permission request or report, email support@honeyshirt.com. See also our Terms of Service, DMCA page and Contact Us.
