DMCA Policy

Last Updated: September 13, 2026

Funny MLB Sweater respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects customers, visitors, designers, production partners, fulfillment partners, suppliers, and service providers to do the same. This DMCA Policy explains how Funny MLB Sweater handles copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property complaints relating to content, product designs, product images, text, graphics, artwork, submitted materials, and other content displayed on or submitted through our website.

Funny MLB Sweater operates as a Print-on-Demand (POD) store specializing in made-to-order baseball-inspired sweaters, game day apparel, holiday baseball sweaters, and fan-inspired apparel. Because our products are produced on demand after an order is placed, we take intellectual property protection seriously and do not knowingly permit unauthorized material that infringes the rights of third parties.

1. Respect for Intellectual Property

Funny MLB Sweater is committed to respecting copyrights, trademarks, brand rights, publicity rights, privacy rights, and other intellectual property rights. We do not knowingly publish, produce, promote, or sell products that infringe the intellectual property rights of others. If we receive a valid intellectual property complaint, we will review it in good faith and may take appropriate action where necessary.

Such action may include:

  • Removing or disabling access to allegedly infringing content.
  • Removing a product or product listing from our website.
  • Stopping production of an affected Print-on-Demand product.
  • Rejecting submitted artwork or custom requests where applicable.
  • Canceling an order associated with infringing material when appropriate.
  • Restricting future access to certain services.
  • Taking action against repeat infringers.

2. Prohibited Content

You may not submit, upload, request, provide, reproduce, order, or otherwise use content through Funny MLB Sweater that:

  • Infringes copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade dress, or other intellectual property rights.
  • Uses protected logos, team marks, brand names, artwork, photographs, symbols, slogans, or designs without authorization.
  • Copies or closely imitates another person’s protected artwork, illustration, photograph, or creative work without permission.
  • Violates rights of publicity, privacy, or personality rights.
  • Misrepresents ownership, licensing, authorization, sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.
  • Uses unauthorized celebrity or athlete names, images, likenesses, signatures, or other protected identity elements.
  • Uses copyrighted sports, entertainment, music, movie, television, game, or other protected content without appropriate permission.
  • Creates confusion regarding an official league, team, brand, organization, athlete, creator, or trademark owner.

Content that violates these rules may be removed, rejected, disabled, or excluded from production. Funny MLB Sweater may also cancel related orders or take further action when appropriate.

3. Baseball-Inspired Designs and Non-Affiliation

Funny MLB Sweater offers baseball fan-inspired and game day-themed apparel for customers who enjoy baseball culture, seasonal fashion, baseball humor, and fan-inspired designs.

Unless expressly stated otherwise on a specific product page, Funny MLB Sweater is an independent Print-on-Demand store and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, licensed by, or officially connected with Major League Baseball, any MLB team, player, league organization, or other trademark owner.

All third-party names, logos, team marks, trademarks, service marks, artwork, player identities, and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners. References to baseball teams, baseball culture, game day themes, colors, terminology, cities, player-related themes, or other third-party identifiers do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, licensing, or official affiliation unless expressly stated.

4. Reporting Copyright or Intellectual Property Infringement

If you believe that content, artwork, product imagery, text, graphics, or a product displayed on Funny MLB Sweater infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, please send us a written infringement notice.

Your notice should contain sufficient information for us to identify the allegedly infringing material, understand the basis of your complaint, verify the rights being asserted, and contact you regarding the claim. Incomplete notices may delay our ability to investigate or respond.

5. Information Required in an Infringement Notice

8. Counter-Notification Procedure

If content or a product was removed or disabled because of a copyright infringement notice and you believe that the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification.

9. Where to Send Counter-Notifications

Please send counter-notifications to:

Email: [email protected]
Subject Line: DMCA Counter-Notice

10. What Happens After a Counter-Notification

After receiving a valid counter-notification, Funny MLB Sweater may provide a copy of the counter-notification to the party who submitted the original copyright complaint. Material may be restored where appropriate if the applicable requirements for restoration are satisfied and we have not received notice of legal action preventing restoration.

Restoration is not guaranteed. Funny MLB Sweater reserves the right to keep material removed when we believe that it violates our policies, intellectual property standards, third-party platform requirements, brand protection rules, or applicable law.

11. Repeat Infringers

Funny MLB Sweater maintains a policy against repeat intellectual property infringement. Depending on the circumstances, we may:

  • Issue warnings.
  • Restrict access to certain services.
  • Reject future submitted designs or custom requests.
  • Refuse future service when appropriate.
  • Take immediate action in serious or repeated cases.

12. False Claims and Misrepresentation

Any infringement notice or counter-notification submitted to Funny MLB Sweater should be truthful, accurate, complete, and made in good faith. Knowingly submitting false, fraudulent, misleading, or materially inaccurate information in connection with an infringement notice or counter-notification may result in legal consequences under applicable law.

Funny MLB Sweater reserves the right to reject complaints that appear incomplete, fraudulent, abusive, misleading, or submitted without sufficient authority.

13. Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property Rights

Although the DMCA primarily concerns copyright, Funny MLB Sweater also accepts and reviews complaints involving other intellectual property and related rights.

These may include:

  • Trademark infringement.
  • Trade dress infringement.
  • Unauthorized team logo use.
  • Brand or logo misuse.
  • Counterfeit or misleading merchandise.
  • False affiliation.
  • False endorsement.
  • Impersonation.
  • Rights of publicity.
  • Privacy rights.
  • Unauthorized use of names, photographs, images, likenesses, signatures, or protected brand identities.

Funny MLB Sweater may remove or disable material that we believe violates trademark rights, brand protection rules, publicity rights, privacy rights, or other intellectual property standards even when a formal DMCA copyright notice has not been submitted.

14. Print-on-Demand Product Designs

Funny MLB Sweater is a Print-on-Demand business. Our products are generally produced only after a customer places an order. Intellectual property compliance is therefore relevant not only to website content but also to designs that may be sent into production.

We may stop production, remove a listing, request additional documentation, or otherwise take appropriate action when a product design is reasonably believed to infringe third-party intellectual property rights.

Examples of protected materials may include:

  • League and team logos.
  • Registered trademarks.
  • Official merchandise graphics.
  • Protected slogans.
  • Player or celebrity photographs.
  • Protected names, signatures, and likenesses.
  • Copyrighted artwork and illustrations.
  • Brand graphics and logos.
  • Artwork belonging to independent artists or creators.

Our made-to-order production model does not eliminate intellectual property obligations. Products created through Print-on-Demand must still comply with applicable intellectual property rights.

15. Customer-Submitted Content

If Funny MLB Sweater offers a feature that allows you to submit artwork, images, text, names, logos, phrases, design files, references, personalization instructions, or other content, you represent that you have the necessary rights or authorization to use and submit that material.

You are responsible for ensuring that material you provide does not violate copyrights, trademarks, publicity rights, privacy rights, or other rights belonging to third parties. We may request proof of authorization before producing a design containing third-party intellectual property.

Funny MLB Sweater reserves the right to reject a submitted design or request that may create infringement concerns, legal risk, or confusion with an official brand, league, team, athlete, creator, or organization.

16. Intellectual Property Complaints From Rights Owners

Rights owners, authorized agents, leagues, teams, brands, artists, photographers, designers, licensors, athletes, and other intellectual property owners are encouraged to contact us directly if they identify material on Funny MLB Sweater that they believe violates their rights.

Providing the exact product URL and clear documentation of the rights being asserted will help us identify and review the material.

17. No Legal Advice

This DMCA Policy is provided for informational and operational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. If you are uncertain about copyright ownership, trademark rights, licensing, fair use, authorization, or other intellectual property issues, you should consult an appropriately qualified legal professional.

18. Changes to This DMCA Policy

Funny MLB Sweater may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, Print-on-Demand operations, products, service providers, intellectual property practices, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
