DMCA Reports

1. Our approach

We sell printed products and show their artwork on our product pages. Copyright complaints get prompt attention here. Section 512 of Title 17 of the US Code, the notice-and-takedown section added by the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), governs how we handle these reports. When a notice is complete, we remove or disable the listing it points to.

2. Where to send a notice

Select Sportswear — Attn: Copyright Agent
Email: [email protected]

Email is the quickest route. Starting the subject line with “DMCA” helps us spot it quickly. Full contact details close out this page.

3. What your notice must include

1. Signature. A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name counts) from the copyright owner or from a person allowed to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. The work. Identify the copyrighted work you believe was copied. If many works are affected, a sample list that covers them will do.
3. The listing. The web address of each product page or image on our site you are reporting, with enough detail for us to find it.
4. How to contact you. Name, street or mailing address, phone and email, so we can follow up.
5. Statement of good faith. In good faith, you believe that neither the rights holder, nor anyone acting for the rights holder, nor the law allows the use you are flagging.
6. Accuracy and authority. Confirm that the notice is accurate. Then, under penalty of perjury, confirm too that the copyright belongs to you, or that you act with its holder’s authorization.

A notice missing any of these elements may not be actionable. If something is missing, we will tell you what to add.

4. What happens after we receive it

We review the notice. If it is complete, we remove or disable access to the material and confirm that to you by email. Where someone supplied the material to us, we let that person know about the removal and about the counter-notice process below.

5. Counter-notice

Material removed by mistake, or confused with something else, can be challenged with a counter-notice. Send it to the same inbox, and include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. what was taken down and the web address where it used to appear;
3. a sworn statement, made under penalty of perjury, that in your good-faith view the removal was an error or a misidentification;
4. your name, address and phone number; your agreement that the federal district court serving your home address may hear the matter (for an address abroad, any district in which Select Sportswear may be found); and your willingness to receive court papers from the original notice sender or their representative.

We pass a copy of a valid counter-notice to whoever sent the original notice. If they do not inform us of a court action within 10 to 14 business days, the material may be restored.

6. Repeat infringement

Every notice is logged. In appropriate circumstances, we end our relationship with any partner, contributor or account holder found to be the subject of repeated valid notices, and we remove the products involved.

7. Misleading notices

Sending a false notice has consequences. Under § 512(f), someone who knowingly and materially lies about infringement, or about a removal being a mistake, can be held liable for damages. Check ownership and fair use first.

8. Trademarks, names and other rights

This process covers copyright. For trademark questions, publicity rights or any other claim, including use of a team, league, school or athlete name or logo, email [email protected]. Tell us what the concern is, link the listing and attach proof that the right belongs to you. We will review it and reply. Please note that Select Sportswear is independent: no league, team, club, school, athlete or sports brand is affiliated with us or endorses us unless a listing explicitly says so.
