Artwork and intellectual property

By uploading, emailing, or otherwise providing artwork, text, a photo, logo, name, likeness, or other material, you confirm that at least one of these is true:

• you created it and own the rights needed for the order;
• it is in the public domain and your intended use is lawful; or
• you have current written permission or a license that covers the requested use.

Permission to view, download, or buy an item is not automatically permission to reproduce it on products. Personal use, nonprofit use, a small quantity, and changing part of a design do not by themselves create permission.

We will refuse or pause a request involving:

• characters, entertainment properties, or artwork controlled by someone else;
• professional, collegiate, school, or organization marks without authorization;
• company logos, product branding, or trade dress you do not own or control;
• photos, names, signatures, or likenesses used without required consent;
• artwork copied, traced, redrawn, or modified from protected material; or
• material that is unlawful or whose requested use would violate another person’s rights.

We may ask for a license, permission letter, organization contact, purchase record, or other proof. We may decline the work even after production review begins if ownership or permission remains unclear.

You keep ownership of material you already own. You give Blue Moose a nonexclusive, limited license to store, copy, resize, convert, adapt, proof, and reproduce submitted material only as reasonably needed to evaluate, quote, produce, deliver, support, and keep business records for the order. We do not receive a right to advertise your work or identify you publicly unless you separately give permission.

Customer-owned marks remain the customer’s property. Unless a signed writing says otherwise, Blue Moose retains its preexisting artwork, templates, concepts not selected, shop methods, digitizing, separations, print files, toolpaths, jigs, setup files, and other internal production resources. Payment for finished products does not transfer those resources.

The ownership or license for a newly commissioned logo or final customer-facing design is controlled by the written quote or design agreement. If that document does not address ownership, contact us before assuming a right to distribute source or production files.

Customer uploads are kept in private storage and made available through limited access paths for staff and the customer session. We retain files and related records as described in the privacy policy. Confidential customer art, pricing, order details, and internal production methods are not published as portfolio or marketing content without separate permission.

Send a written report through the contact route with your name and contact information, identification of the protected work, the location of the material at issue, the basis for your claim, and a statement that the report is accurate and made in good faith. If you act for the owner, include your authority.

We may remove or restrict material while reviewing a report and may contact the submitting customer for records. This reporting process does not state that Blue Moose has registered a federal copyright agent or waive any requirement that applies to a formal legal notice.

You are responsible for the material and instructions you provide. As stated in the terms of sale and service, you may be required to defend and reimburse Blue Moose for a third-party claim caused by material or instructions submitted without the rights you represented you had.
