Intellectual property & design concerns

Mildly Offensive Tees respects the work of artists, creators, and rights holders. Our designs include work developed in-house and work commissioned from independent designers. We expect artwork used in our store to be original or appropriately authorized.

Designs can raise concerns that were not identified during review. If you believe a product or image uses your copyright, trademark, likeness, or other rights without permission, please tell us so we can investigate. An unintended similarity does not give us permission to use someone else’s work.

Report a concern

Email hello@mildlyoffensivetees.com with the subject Intellectual property concern. Please include:

• Your name, contact email, and whether you own the rights or represent the rights holder.
• A description of the protected work or rights, with supporting links or documents.
• The exact URL of each MOT product or image you are reporting.
• An explanation of the concern and any information that helps us verify it.

For a copyright notice, also include your physical or electronic signature; a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights holder, their agent, or the law; and a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner. You can find further guidance at the U.S. Copyright Office.

How we respond

We review reports and may pause a listing while we investigate. When a concern is substantiated, we remove or correct the affected material and address the source of the issue. If more information is needed, we may contact you. If you have additional evidence after a decision, reply to the same email thread.

This reporting process does not limit anyone’s legal rights, determine whether a design is lawful, or promise automatic reinstatement of removed material.
