What is a Copyright? A copyright protects original work of authorship such as a picture, drawing, graphics, written work or photograph. Copyright law prevents you from copying another's copyrighted work for any purpose; making things based on the copyrighted work; distributing copies of the copyrighted work; or displaying the copyrighted work. In a nutshell, copyright law protects the expression of one's idea.

YES! WE DO embroider products for Faculty, Staff, Departments, Organizations and Teams of many Colleges and Universities, as long as the order is properly authorized in writing by the Schools PURCHASING DEPARTMENT either by a signed authorization letter or under a PO. Although, many schools have their names, logos and symbols licensed to specific outside Vendors or Corporate Retailers, this is done to control general public retail sales, most internal Purchasing Departments are exempt. We ARE NOT a general purpose retailer, we do not sell pre-made collegiate products. We only work on behalf of the institution directly, so if your order is for internal purposes then you need to contact your Purchasing Department. You are NOT permitted to order Collegiate products with embroidery if it is for your own personal use!

NO use of names, logos, pictures or other property of MUSICAL GROUPS or ARTISTS.
We only print items for musical groups when the order is AUTHORIZED in writing by the group, its' agent/manager or "Label". You cannot print musician group t-shirts, use pictures of a group, use the group logo, name or modified names, copy album or CD covers. Just because you are a fan does not mean you can print anything related to a musician or group.

It's on the internet, so it is ok to use it. NO! Simply because an image is found on the internet does not mean that it is in the public domain. Further, a person who posts an image on the internet and claims that you are free to use it may not have had the right to post the image in the first place. Internet images are always poor quality or low resolution.

I based my artwork on the artwork of a third party, so that is ok. NO! ALL Works in any form that are derived from a previous work of another violate the rights of the owner of the previous work. Therefore, if you are creating an image based on the work of someone else, you need to obtain permission from the original creator.

For example, you cannot use published artwork, cartoon characters, movie posters, book covers, album or CD covers, photos or representations of ANY trademarked or registered products, Warner Bros™ cartoon characters or branded advertising characters such as the M&M™ guys, or even using unique slogans such as "is it in you"™ .

NO Professional sports teams logos, graphics, names or symbols. No printing of licensed images for the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB or others. If you, your business or league holds a PROPERLY AUTHORIZED license from any of the major sports leagues/associations, we will not quote any pricing until such time as you provide written documentation verifying your license agreement.
