\nBride Tee respects the work of designers, illustrators, photographers and writers, and we expect the same from everyone who uses bridetee.shop. This page explains how to tell us if you believe something on our site copies your copyrighted work, what your notice needs to contain, what we do when we receive it, and how someone whose material was removed can respond. It follows the notice-and-takedown approach of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. For trademarks, brand names, logos and the text people type into our personalisation fields, see our Intellectual Property Policy, which covers those separately.
\nBride Tee sells matching wear for a bridal party: role tees for the bride, the maid of honor, the bridesmaids, the bridesman and the mothers of the couple, youth tees for the flower girl and junior bridesmaid, crewnecks, a cap, and a few gifts such as a mug, a tote bag and a zip pouch. The site carries several kinds of material that copyright can apply to, and this page covers all of them.
\nWe are one store selling our own range. There is no marketplace, no third-party seller and no customer upload gallery on bridetee.shop. Customer photos sent to us with a problem report are used only to help with that order and are deleted 30 days after delivery; they are not published.
\nSome concerns feel like copyright but are really about something else. A brand name or logo is usually a trademark matter. A person’s name or likeness is usually a publicity or privacy matter. A general idea, such as dressing a bridal party in one colour with the bride in white, is not something copyright protects, although a particular drawing or a particular piece of text can be. If you are unsure which applies, send your concern anyway and tell us what you believe is being copied. We will read it either way, and the Intellectual Property Policy explains how we handle the non-copyright cases.
\nA notice is a formal document, so it helps to check a few things first. Look at the exact page and note its full address in the browser bar. If the issue is a product, note the product name and the colour, because the same design can appear in several colour names, such as Sage, Dusty Blue, Terracotta, Black, Blush or Butter for the party tees, and White, Natural or Black for the bride’s pieces. If the issue is an image, take a screenshot that shows where it appears. If the issue is text, copy the sentence you believe was taken.
\nIt also helps to think about whether the use might be permitted. Short role words such as “Bridesmaid” or “Maid of Honor” and a date in numerals are common words and facts that many people print, and a simple word on a tee is not usually something one person owns. A notice is most useful when it points to a specific drawing, photograph, layout or passage of writing that is yours. If you are not sure whether your rights are involved, you may want to get legal advice before sending a notice, because a notice carries legal weight, as section 7 explains.
\nEmail your notice to support@bridetee.shop with the subject line “Copyright notice”. Email is the only way we receive messages; we have no phone line, chat or social accounts for this. Your notice needs all six of these elements.
\nAttachments are welcome: a picture of your original work, a link to your portfolio, or a document showing the date your work was first published. Please keep files to a size an ordinary email can carry. If a notice is missing an element, we will tell you which one, and our response may wait until we have it.
\nAgents, lawyers and rights-management services can send notices on behalf of a copyright owner. Please say who you represent and confirm that you are authorised to act for them. We may write back to the owner directly if something in the notice is unclear.
\nWe acknowledge every notice by email, and our first reply comes within 24 hours on business days. We then compare the material you identified with the work you described. If the notice is complete and the material does appear to copy your work, we remove it or disable access to it, and we email you to confirm what was done. Depending on what is involved, that can mean taking down an image, rewriting a passage of text, or taking a product listing offline while we look at the design.
\nIf something in the notice is unclear, for example the URL leads to a page with several products and we cannot tell which one you mean, we ask before we act. If, after review, we believe the material does not copy your work, we explain why in our reply, and you are free to send further information.
\nSuppose an illustrator writes to say that a drawing on one of our pages looks like a line drawing of bridesmaids she published on her own site. Her notice includes her signature, a link to her original drawing, the URL of our page, her postal address, phone and email, and the two required statements. We acknowledge it, compare the two drawings, and, if ours copies hers, take the image down and confirm that to her by email. If ours is an independent drawing that only shares the general idea of people standing in a line, we tell her that, show her what we compared, and invite her to reply if she sees something we missed.
\nIf a product is taken offline because of a copyright notice, customers who already ordered it are not left guessing. We email anyone affected about their order. What happens to an order that has not yet been made depends on the case, so we will explain the options in that email. Returns follow our normal rules: items can be returned within 60 days of delivery, and refunds are sent within 7 days of the return reaching us, as set out in our Refund Policy and Returns & Exchanges page.
\nIf material you sent us was removed after a notice, and you believe that was a mistake or that the material was misidentified, you can send a counter-notice to support@bridetee.shop with the subject line “Counter-notice”. Under the DMCA, a counter-notice includes these elements.
\nWe forward a complete counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Under the DMCA, material may be restored after 10 to 14 business days unless that person tells us they have filed a court action about it. Because we are a single store and customers do not publish material on our site, counter-notices will be rare, but the process is here so it is clear.
\nUnder 17 U.S.C. section 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or a counter-notice may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Please send a notice only when you have a genuine, good-faith belief that your copyright is involved. A notice is not the right tool for a pricing complaint, a disagreement about a product, or a concern about a competitor’s store. For an order question, use Contact Us or Submit a Ticket instead.
\nIf someone repeatedly sends us material that infringes other people’s copyright, for example through personalisation text that copies protected writing, we may refuse further orders containing that kind of material and may close the related customer account where one exists. Our general rules about what can be typed into a personalisation field are in the Intellectual Property Policy.
\nOur designs are original to Bride Tee. They are built around a few plain ideas: one small role word on the chest, a date in numerals, one or two inks, no slogans, and the same piece in one colour name for the whole bridal party with the bride in white. We do not print team, brand, television show, film, tour, character or venue names or logos, and we use city names only as plain place words. If you believe we have got that wrong somewhere, we would rather hear about it than not, and a notice is a perfectly good way to tell us.
\nOur own designs, images and text are also protected. If you find them copied on another site or marketplace, we would be grateful if you let us know at the same address.
\nCopyright notices and counter-notices go to support@bridetee.shop. Our postal business address is Bride Tee, 350 West Elm St Suite 3111, Conshohocken, PA 19428, US. We reply by email within 24 hours on business days. These matters are governed by the law of Pennsylvania together with applicable U.S. federal law, as described in our Terms of Service. How we handle the personal details in a notice is described in our Privacy Policy; we share them only as the counter-notice process requires.
