DMCA Copyright Policy

Open Ya Mind Clothing respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website to do the same. This policy outlines how Open Ya Mind Clothing responds to claims of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

1. Copyright Protection

1.1 When a person creates an original work that is fixed in a physical medium, that person automatically owns copyright to the work. Copyright ownership gives the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display that work.

1.2 Copyright protection may apply to many types of creative works including artwork, illustrations, designs, music, videos, photographs, written works, and digital content.

1.3 Open Ya Mind Clothing accepts designs submitted by independent artists and creators. Artists submitting designs confirm that their work is original or that they have the necessary rights or permissions to use any material included in their design.

1.4 Some uses of copyrighted material may qualify as โ€œfair use,โ€ including parody, satire, commentary, or other transformative uses. However, it is the responsibility of the submitting artist to ensure their design does not infringe upon the rights of others.

1.5 If Open Ya Mind Clothing receives a valid copyright complaint, we may remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing.

2. Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on the Open Ya Mind Clothing website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a written DMCA notice including the following information:

  • A description of the design or content that is claimed to be infringing, including the URL of the page where the material appears.
  • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
  • Your full legal name.
  • Your postal mailing address.
  • Your email address.
  • Your phone number.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

DMCA notices can be submitted to Open Ya Mind Clothing through the contact details listed on our website.

3. Response to Copyright Claims

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notification, Open Ya Mind Clothing may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We may also notify the user or artist who submitted the content that a complaint has been received.

If necessary, Open Ya Mind Clothing may temporarily suspend the account of users who repeatedly submit infringing material.

4. Counter Notification

If you believe your design or content was removed due to mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. The counter-notification must include:

  • A description of the material that was removed and the location where it previously appeared.
  • Your full legal name.
  • Your mailing address.
  • Your email address.
  • Your phone number.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
  • A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Once a valid counter-notification is received, Open Ya Mind Clothing may forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file legal action within the required timeframe, the removed content may be reinstated.

5. Repeat Infringers

Open Ya Mind Clothing reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that repeatedly submit infringing designs or violate copyright laws.
