Intellectual Property Rights Policy
Last updated: November 2025
At Printine, we deeply respect the creativity and rights of artists, designers and content owners — and we expect the same respect from everyone who uses our platform.
This policy explains how we handle intellectual-property ("IP") issues — including copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights — when they arise in relation to our website and services.
1. What rights we protect
- Copyrighted works (artwork, designs, illustrations, photos)
- Trademarks, service marks and brand-names
- Other proprietary rights (including but not limited to moral rights, design rights, database rights)
If you hold such rights and believe they have been used on Printine without your permission, this policy tells you how to report it — and what you can expect from us.
2. Your obligations as a user
When you submit or upload a design or content for a Printine product, you represent and warrant that:
- You are the owner of the work or you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses and permissions for its use.
- The work does not infringe any third-party's intellectual-property rights.
- You agree to indemnify Printine and our affiliates in the event of any claim that your submitted work violates someone's IP rights.
Failure to meet these obligations may result in removal of the work, suspension of your account or legal action.
3. Reporting alleged infringement
If you believe that your work has been used on Printine without permission, please send us a Notice containing the following information:
- (a) Your full name, business or legal-entity name (if applicable), and contact information (address, telephone, email).
- (b) A description of the copyrighted or other IP work that you claim has been infringed (with any registration number if applicable).
- (c) A description of where the allegedly infringing material appears on Printine (for example: product URL, design ID, screenshot).
- (d) A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the work is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent or the law.
- (e) A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorised to act on behalf of the rights owner.
- (f) Your physical or electronic signature.
Please send Notices to:
Attn: Legal Department – Printine
After we receive a valid Notice, we will review it, and if appropriate we will remove or disable access to the material. We will also attempt to notify the uploader of the work and give them an opportunity to respond.
4. Counter-Notice by uploader
If you are the uploader of content removed under this policy and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notice containing:
- Your name, address, telephone number, email address.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in [insert jurisdiction, e.g., your country or state], and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original Notice or an agent of such person.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
If we receive a valid Counter-Notice, we may restore the material after a waiting period in accordance with applicable law.
5. Repeat infringers
Printine reserves the right to terminate or suspend access for users who repeatedly upload infringing content or who otherwise violate this policy. We may also remove or disable access to content that we deem infringing, at our discretion.
6. Creative-Commons, Public-Domain & Licensed works
If you use works under a publicly available licence (e.g., Creative Commons) or that are in the public domain, you must ensure that the licence terms are fully respected — including attribution requirements, non-commercial restrictions, share-alike obligations, if any.
Printine may request proof of licensing.
7. Third-party links & affiliate content
Our website may contain links to third-party sites or display content from third parties. Printine is not responsible for the IP practices of those sites. If you have concerns regarding material on external platforms, please contact the respective site.
8. Changes to this policy
We may revise this Intellectual-Property Rights Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with the "Last updated" date. You are encouraged to review this policy periodically.
