In compliance with Intellectual Property laws, Spreadshirt.com has certain rules regarding the types of graphics and subject matter permitted on saleable items made and sold through our service. We will not print:
- We will not print: Unofficial merchandise
- We will not print: Names, logos, pictures or other intellectual property of musical groups or musical artists.
- We will not print: Names, logos, pictures, or other intellectual property of sports teams, colleges/universities, clubs or organizations such as Boston Red Sox, Girl Scouts of America, or Princeton University.
- We will not print: photos, caricatures, or other artwork depicting a celebrity. Just because you take a picture of a celebrity, it does not give you the right to use the photo on shirts, even if you alter the photo digitally.
- We will not print: trademarks, names or logos for companies. For example you can not use the name Coca Cola, Coke “It’s the Real Thing” or the design from the cans.
- We will not print: nudity. We will not print any body parts that would normally be covered by underclothing. We will not print very graphic artistic renditions of persons having sex or their sexual body parts. There will also be times when we will not print a picture of some sort of nudity just because it is in very bad taste.
- We will not print: child nudity.
- We will not print: hate material. Hate material is anything that speaks to hate of any people, creed or race.
We have sole discretion over all topics above and if Spreadshirt feels any of the designs submitted border on any of these topics, we will not print them.
