DMCA & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY

Last updated: September 12, 2026

StickerHood respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect the people who use our Site to do the same. This page explains how to report content you believe infringes your copyright or trademark, how we respond, and how a customer can contest a removal.

This policy covers both copyright complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and trademark or other intellectual property complaints, which fall outside the DMCA but which we handle through the same channel.


1. How to Reach Us About an Intellectual Property Claim

All copyright and trademark notices, and all counter-notifications, should be submitted through our contact form. Please put “IP Notice” in your message so it reaches the right person quickly, and include every item listed in the relevant section below.

Notices are reviewed by StickerHood, Weston, Florida, USA.


2. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe material on our Site infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send us a written notice through our contact form that includes all of the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them).
  • Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it — a direct URL is best.
  • Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

A notice that leaves out any of these elements may not be effective, and we may ask you to resubmit it.


3. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

When we receive a notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified. We will make a reasonable effort to notify the customer who submitted the material, provide them with a copy of the notice, and let them know how to file a counter-notification.

Because we are a manufacturer as well as a website, a valid notice may also mean we cancel a pending order, stop a job already in production, or decline future orders containing the same artwork.


4. Counter-Notification

If your material was removed and you believe the removal was the result of a mistake or a misidentification, you may send us a written counter-notification through our contact form containing all of the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, mailing address, and telephone number.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which StickerHood may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice, or from their agent.

We will forward your counter-notification to the party who filed the original notice. If they do not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the activity, we may restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days of receiving your counter-notification.


5. Repeat Infringers

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), StickerHood will terminate the accounts of, and refuse service to, users who are determined to be repeat infringers of the intellectual property rights of others. We may also terminate an account in a single case where the circumstances warrant it.


6. Trademark and Other IP Complaints

The DMCA applies to copyright only. If your complaint concerns a trademark, a right of publicity, or another intellectual property right, send it through the same contact form with:

  • The mark or right at issue, and the registration number if one exists.
  • The goods or services it covers.
  • Where the disputed material appears on our Site, or the order it relates to.
  • An explanation of why you believe the use is unauthorized and likely to cause confusion.
  • Your contact information and a statement that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on their behalf.

We review these complaints on the same timeline as DMCA notices, but the counter-notification process in Section 4 is specific to copyright and does not apply.


7. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please consider carefully, and consult a lawyer if you are unsure, before filing a notice or a counter-notification.


8. Orders Already Printed or Shipped

Removing artwork from our Site does not recall physical product that has already been manufactured or dispatched. If a notice concerns an order that has already shipped, tell us in your notice and we will confirm what stage the order reached, but we cannot retrieve goods already delivered to a customer.


9. Customer Responsibilities

As set out in our Terms of Service, you are solely responsible for the artwork you upload. StickerHood does not pre-screen artwork for intellectual property compliance, and by submitting artwork you represent that you hold all rights necessary to have it reproduced.
