• Copyrights (e.g., on images, illustrations, texts)

• Trademark rights (protected logos, names, slogans)

• Personal rights (images or names of individuals)

• Prohibition of radical, discriminatory, or unconstitutional content

Rights clearance before use

To use a design (e.g., photo, logo, text) on Shirtinator, you must hold the necessary usage rights.

Check the legal status of the design in advance.

If you are not the original creator, obtain written permission from the rights holder.

Helpful resources for registered trademarks:

Note: If a word or figurative trademark is registered in Nice Class 25 (clothing), its use on apparel is generally not permitted. You can check the Nice Class in TMView.

Examples of prohibited designs

• Copyright-protected brands & logos
  Famous logos, names, or designs may not be used without the rights holder’s permission.

• Unconstitutional or anti-state content
  We strictly reject symbols, texts, or images that violate the constitution or fundamental rights.

• Violation of personal rights
  Images of celebrities or private individuals may not be used for commercial purposes unless you have their explicit consent.

By uploading your design, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these rules, and that you will comply with them.

Consequences of violations

Unauthorized use of protected content can result in high costs. This also applies to defamatory, discriminatory, or unconstitutional content.

In the event of a rights violation, Shirtinator will refer the rights holder directly to the responsible party and may also assert its own claims for damages.

We actively review content and may remove suspicious designs without prior notice.
