This page explains how to tell Jersey Mill that something on jerseymill.shop copies a work you own, and what we do when we receive that message. It follows the notice-and-takedown approach of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and is written to be read by a photographer, an illustrator or a small business owner without a lawyer at their side. Trademark concerns, such as a team or brand name, are handled under our Intellectual Property Policy, and the two pages work together.

What material this page covers

Jersey Mill is a single store selling its own range of retro bowling shirts, softball jerseys, pickleball tops, league tees, hoodies and gear. There are no outside sellers listing products here. This page therefore covers material we publish ourselves, together with anything a customer supplies that could appear on the site or on a printed product. In practice that means:

• Product photographs and illustrations on product, collection and home pages.
• The generic artwork printed on our ready-to-wear products, such as pin-and-ball motifs, lane flames, diamond graphics and kitchen-line art.
• Product titles, descriptions, size guidance and help or policy text.
• Text customers type into the personalization fields of our five personalized products, such as “Team name on front”, “Name on back”, “Sleeve text” and “Roster names for the back”.
• Any images or text a customer sends us that we later show on the site, which we only do with their permission.

If you are unsure whether your concern is copyright (a creative work such as a photo, drawing, design or piece of writing) or trademark (a name, logo or slogan that identifies a business, team or league), send it anyway. We will read it under whichever policy fits, and we will not turn down a concern because it arrived under the wrong subject line.

How to send a copyright notice

Send your notice by email to support@jerseymill.shop with the subject line “Copyright notice”. Email is the only channel we use for this; we do not take notices by phone or social media. Your notice should include all six of the following elements.

1. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorised to act on the owner’s behalf. A typed full name at the end of the email counts as an electronic signature.
2. The original work. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. A link to where the original is published, or a copy attached to your email, helps us compare.
3. The material on our site. Identification of the material you believe is infringing, with the exact URL of each page where it appears and a description of which image or text you mean, so we can find it.
4. Your contact details. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. Good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. Accuracy statement. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

Tips that make a notice easier to act on

• Use one email per concern where you can. If several product pages use the same image of yours, list every URL in the same notice.
• Describe the image or text precisely, for example “the second photo on the product page, showing the teal two-tone bowling shirt from the back”.
• If the material appears on a printed product rather than only on a web page, name the product and the colorway.
• Please do not send passwords, payment details or government ID numbers. We never need them to review a notice.

What we do when a notice arrives

Every notice is read by a person, not filtered automatically. Here is the sequence:

1. Acknowledgement. We reply within 24 hours on business days to confirm we received your notice.
2. Completeness check. If an element is missing, we tell you which one. We may still investigate an incomplete notice, but a complete one avoids delay.
3. Review. We find the material you identified and compare it with your original work.
4. Action. If the notice is valid, we remove the material or disable access to it. For an image, that usually means taking the photo off every page where it appears. For a design printed on a product, it means we stop selling that design.
5. Confirmation. We email you to say what we removed and where.
6. Notice to the other side. If the material came from a customer, we tell that customer it was removed and why. Where the law allows, we share the substance of your notice with your personal contact details withheld, unless you agree otherwise.

What a takedown does not do

Removing material from our site does not settle any claim for money between you and us, and it does not mean we accept that the material infringed your rights. It is a practical step that the law expects a site to take promptly when it receives a valid notice. If you want to discuss anything beyond removal, tell us in your email and we will reply in writing.

Personalized text and copyright

Most of what customers type into our personalization fields is short: a team name, a surname, a number from 0 to 99, a ten-character sleeve line, a season or year line. Short names and phrases are not usually protected by copyright, but they can still be someone else’s trademark, which is why our Intellectual Property Policy says we do not print other teams’, leagues’, brands’ or players’ names.

The roster back tee is the one place where a customer can type a longer block, up to 15 names and 240 characters, one name per line. It is meant for the names of the players on your team. Please do not paste song lyrics, poems, passages from books or other text written by someone else into any personalization field. If we notice such text on an order before it is printed, we email the customer and do not print it as typed. We send no proofs or mockups before production, so this check is about content, not about how the shirt looks.

If you believe a printed product we already shipped reproduced your work, send a notice in the usual way and name the product. We will review it and take the steps above for anything still on the site or waiting to be printed.

Counter-notification if your material was removed

If you supplied material that we removed after a copyright notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send us a counter-notification by email to support@jerseymill.shop with the subject line “Counter-notification”. It must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal, such as the page URL or your order number.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, postal address and telephone number.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Jersey Mill may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

When we receive a valid counter-notification, we forward a copy to the person who sent the original notice. If that person does not tell us, within the period set by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), that they have filed a court action to stop the material from returning, we may restore it. We tell you what we decide.

Notices that are false or made in bad faith

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Before you send a notice, consider whether the use might be permitted, for example because it is your own work, because you gave permission, or because the law allows it. If you are not sure, it may be worth getting legal advice first. We may disregard notices that are clearly abusive, such as repeated notices about material the sender does not own.

Repeat infringement

If the same customer repeatedly supplies material that infringes other people’s copyright, for example by placing personalized orders with copied text after being told it cannot be printed, we may refuse further orders from that customer and close their account. Any such decision is explained by email. Your rights under our refund policy for orders already paid are not affected.

Records and privacy

We keep copyright notices, counter-notifications and our replies so that we can show what was removed, when, and why. We use the personal details in them only to handle the notice, and we handle them as described in our privacy policy. Images you attach to a notice are kept with the notice record, separately from customer order photos.

Where to send copyright questions

Copyright notices and counter-notifications go to support@jerseymill.shop, with the subject lines given above. For trademark, design and name concerns, see our Intellectual Property Policy. For order questions that have nothing to do with copyright, the contact page and help center are quicker routes. This page is part of our terms of service, which are governed by the laws of Utah.
