Loud Mesh makes original all-over-print jerseys, and we take copyright seriously in both directions: we protect our own prints and we respect other people’s work. This page explains how to tell us if you believe something on loudmesh.shop infringes your copyright, what we do with your notice, and what happens if content you sent us is removed. For trademarks, names, logos and other intellectual property questions, see our Intellectual Property Policy.
Loud Mesh is a single-brand store. There are no outside sellers listing products on the site, so every print, photo and product description here is ours. That keeps this process short: a notice comes to us, we look at it ourselves, and we act on it ourselves.
Copyright notices at a glance
- Email notices to support@loudmesh.shop with the subject line “Copyright notice”.
- Include the six elements in section 3 so we can act without coming back to you.
- We confirm we received your notice within 24 hours on business days.
- If the notice is valid, we remove or disable the material and tell you when it is done.
- If content you sent us was removed by mistake, you can send a counter-notification (section 8).
1. What this page covers
This process covers any material that appears on loudmesh.shop, including:
- the all-over prints themselves, shown at Low, Mid and Max on each product page;
- product photos and the photo for each volume;
- product descriptions, page text and help articles;
- any material a customer sends us that we later show on the site, for example a crew photo shared with permission.
It follows the notice-and-takedown process of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, and we apply the same approach to copyright complaints made under the laws of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the other countries we ship to.
2. Before you send a notice
A quick check can save you time. Every print we sell is an original Loud Mesh design built around one idea: one print with a volume knob, so a crew can share a print while each person picks how loud their own jersey is. Patterns such as checkers, argyle, palm silhouettes, confetti and balloons are common visual ideas that many artists use; copyright protects a specific creative work, not a general style or theme.
If you still believe a specific print, photo or text on our site copies your work, we want to hear about it. Sending us a link to your own original work and a link to the page on our site is the most useful thing you can do. If you are unsure whether something infringes your rights, you may want legal advice before sending a formal notice.
Concerns that are not about copyright, such as a trademark, a team or brand name, or a person’s name or likeness, follow the process on our Intellectual Property Policy instead.
3. What your notice must include
For a copyright notice to be complete, the law asks for six things. Please include all of them:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act on their behalf. Typing your full legal name at the end of the email is an electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. A link to where your work is published, or a copy of it attached to your email, works best.
- Identification of the material on our site that you believe infringes, with the exact page address for each item. If it is one volume of a print, say which one: Low, Mid or Max.
- Your contact details: name, postal address, email address and a telephone contact.
- 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.
- 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.
Send the notice to support@loudmesh.shop with the subject line “Copyright notice”. Notices can also be posted to Loud Mesh, 20233 Bitter Root Drive, Porter, TX 77365, US, but email is much faster because support at Loud Mesh is email only.
| Element | Complete | Slows us down |
|---|---|---|
| Your work | A link to your original artwork, with the date you published it | “You copied my style” |
| Our material | The product page address and which volume, for example the Max version | “One of your jerseys” |
| Who you are | Your name, postal address, email and telephone contact | A first name only |
| Authority | A statement that you own the work or act for the owner | No mention of who owns the work |
| Statements | Both good-faith and accuracy statements, signed | No statements or signature |
4. What happens after we receive it
- We confirm receipt. You get a reply within 24 hours on business days letting you know the notice has arrived.
- We review it. We compare your work with the material you identified. If an element from section 3 is missing, we tell you what we need. Incomplete notices take longer.
- We act. If the notice is valid, we remove the material or disable access to it. For a print, that means we take the affected product, or the affected volume, off the site and stop selling it.
- We tell you. We email you to confirm what was removed.
- We tell the person who supplied it, if anyone. If the material was sent to us by a customer, we tell that person it was removed and why, and we share a copy of the notice with your personal contact details withheld where the law allows.
We review every notice ourselves and do not hand the decision to an automated system. We aim to move promptly and keep you informed at each step.
| Step | What you do | What Loud Mesh does |
|---|---|---|
| Send | Email a notice with all six elements | Confirms receipt within 24 hours on business days |
| Review | Answer any question we ask about missing details | Compares your work with the material on our site |
| Decision | Nothing further, if the notice is complete | Removes or disables the material if the notice is valid, or explains why not |
| Follow-up | Tell us if you see the same material again | Keeps the material off the site and handles any counter-notification |
5. Personalisation text and copyright
The only things customers add to our products are the text fields on Name & Number jerseys: a name or nickname on the back of up to 12 characters, a number from 0 to 99, a lettering choice and an optional trip line of up to 16 characters. The site does not accept artwork uploads, so a customer cannot send us a picture to print.
Short names, nicknames and numbers are usually not something copyright protects on their own, but names of teams, leagues, brands and characters are often protected as trademarks. We do not print them. If you see one of our jerseys with text that you believe uses your rights, our Intellectual Property Policy explains how to report it, and we treat that kind of report with the same care as a copyright notice.
Because we print exactly what is typed and do not send a proof, the person who placed the order is responsible for the text they entered. Our Terms of Service say what customers may not type, and we may cancel an item with a full refund when the text breaks those rules.
6. An example of how a notice goes
Here is a made-up example. An illustrator believes the Max volume of one of our checker prints copies a pattern she published on her own portfolio two years ago. She emails a notice with a link to her portfolio page, the address of our product page, the words “Max volume”, her full name and contact details, and both signed statements. We confirm receipt the same business day, compare the two designs side by side, and reply with our decision. If her notice is valid, the Max version comes off the site, production of it stops, and she gets an email confirming it. If we think the two designs are different works, we explain why, and she remains free to take the matter further.
7. Orders already placed
Everything at Loud Mesh is made to order, so there is no stock of finished jerseys waiting on a shelf. If we remove a print after a valid notice, we also stop production of that print. Customers who ordered it and whose order has not yet been made will be contacted and offered a refund or a different print. We do not ask the copyright owner to deal with our customers; that is our job.
8. Counter-notification if your content was removed
This section applies if we removed something you sent us, for example a photo, and you believe it was removed by mistake or because the material was misidentified. You can send a counter-notification to support@loudmesh.shop with the subject line “Counter-notification”. It must include:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared on our site before removal;
- a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification;
- your name, postal address and telephone contact;
- 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 Loud Mesh 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 it to the person who sent the original notice. Under the law, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless the original sender tells us they have filed a court action to stop the use.
9. False or misleading notices
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or a counter-notification may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Please only send a notice when you genuinely believe your copyright is being infringed. Using this process to remove material for other reasons, such as competition, is a misuse of it.
10. Repeat infringement
If a customer repeatedly sends us material that turns out to infringe someone else’s copyright, we will stop accepting material from them and may close their account on My Account. This does not affect any order they already placed, any refund owed or their right to return items under our Returns & Exchanges Policy.
11. If you think Loud Mesh’s work has been copied
We also look out for our own prints. If you see a Loud Mesh print, the Low, Mid and Max volume system presented as someone else’s, or our product photos being used by another seller, we would be grateful if you emailed us the link. You do not need to send a formal notice for this; a short email is enough.
