DMCA & Intellectual Property Rights Policy

BigtimeTeez respects the intellectual property rights of creators, brands, and artists, and we expect our users to do the same. We maintain a strict policy against uploading or selling custom merchandise that violates third-party copyrights, trademarks, or proprietary rights.

If you believe that any material on our site infringes upon your intellectual property, please follow the notification procedures detailed below.

1. Submitting a Copyright / IP Infringement Notice

If you suspect that your copyrighted work, registered trademark, or intellectual property is being displayed or distributed without authorization on BigtimeTeez, please send a written takedown notice to our Designated Agent.

To be considered valid, your notification must include:

  • Identification of the Protected Work: A description of the copyrighted work or trademark you claim has been infringed (including registration numbers, if applicable).

  • Location of the Infringing Material: Specific URLs or direct web links showing the exact product/content on BigtimeTeez.

  • Your Contact Details: Your full legal name, mailing address, primary phone number, and official email address.

  • Good-Faith Statement: A statement affirming that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  • Accuracy Statement: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

  • Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Enforcement & Platform Actions

Upon receiving a complete and legally valid infringement notice, BigtimeTeez will promptly take the following steps:

  1. Content Removal: Access to the identified infringing product or content will be disabled or removed from our platform.

  2. User Notification: We will inform the seller or user who uploaded the material about the takedown.

  3. Repeat Offender Policy: Accounts linked to habitual intellectual property violations may face permanent termination.

3. Counter-Notification Procedure

If your content was taken down and you believe this occurred due to mistake or misidentification, you may file a formal Counter-Notice containing:

  • Identification of the Removed Material: Description of the material that was removed and its previous location on our site prior to deletion.

  • Statement Under Perjury: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of error or misidentification.

  • Your Contact Information: Your legal name, address, phone number, and email.

  • Consent to Jurisdiction: A declaration consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or local court if residing outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original DMCA complaint.

  • Signature: Your electronic or physical signature.

Note: Once a valid counter-notice is received, we will forward a copy to the original claimant. Unless the claimant files a legal action within 10 business days, BigtimeTeez reserves the right to restore the removed content.
