DMCA – Copyright Policy

On this page

At Bad Omens Merch, we respect the intellectual property rights of artists, creators, photographers, designers, brands and rights holders. This page explains how to submit copyright infringement notices, counter-notifications, and reports concerning artwork, trademarks or publicity rights on our website.

1. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Welcome to Bad Omens Merch at https://badomensinspiredmerch.shop/ (the “Site”). We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect visitors, contributors and other parties dealing with our Site to do the same.

This policy explains our process for reviewing claims of copyright infringement and counter-notifications under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, to the extent applicable.

Publishing a DMCA policy does not automatically qualify a website for statutory safe-harbor protection. Any applicable requirements, including the designation and registration of an eligible DMCA agent, must be satisfied separately.

2. Notice of Infringement – Claim

If you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf and believe that material on our Site infringes a copyright, please send a written notice that includes:

  1. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature, or that of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner.
  2. Copyrighted work: Identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed (or a representative list of works, where permitted).
  3. Allegedly infringing material: Identification of the material and details sufficient for us to find it. Please include the exact product or page URL(s).
  4. Contact details: Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address, if available, so we can contact you.
  5. Good-faith statement: 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.
  6. Accuracy and authority: A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Send your notice to the copyright contact specified in Section 7 below. Please use the email subject DMCA TAKEDOWN NOTICE and include supporting evidence, such as a link to the original artwork or rights documentation, when available.

We will review sufficiently detailed notices and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law, which may include removing the material or disabling access to it. We may request additional information when necessary to understand the claim.

3. Counter Notification – Restoration of Material

If content you provided was removed or disabled as a result of a copyright complaint and you believe that occurred because of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). Your counter-notification should include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material removed or disabled and its location on the Site before removal, preferably the original URL.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address and telephone number, plus a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district of your address (or, if you are outside the United States, a district where the service provider may be found), and agreeing to accept service of process from the original complainant or their agent.

Send your counter-notification to the contact shown in Section 7 with the subject DMCA COUNTER NOTIFICATION. Where the statutory process applies, we may forward your counter-notification to the complaining party and follow the required restoration procedure.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

We take credible reports of copyright infringement seriously. Where appropriate and consistent with applicable law, we maintain procedures to identify repeat infringers and may restrict or terminate accounts, design submissions, supplier arrangements or other access where repeated violations occur.

We also evaluate reports involving merchandise designs, product photographs, graphics, slogans, logos and other creative content displayed on the Site.

5. Modifications to This Policy

We may revise this DMCA – Copyright Policy when our processes, services or legal obligations change. Updated wording will be published on this page. We encourage visitors and rights holders to review this page periodically.

6. Intellectual Property and Publicity Rights

Bad Omens Merch is an independent, fan-inspired apparel and accessories store. This store is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the band Bad Omens or its official representatives. That statement does not replace any permission or license that may be required to use third-party protected works, trademarks or likenesses.

Copyright: Copyright law may protect original artwork, photographs, graphics, writing and other creative expression fixed in a tangible medium.

Trademarks: Trademark law may protect brand names, logos, symbols and other identifiers of the source of products or services.

Publicity and personality rights: Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights concerning unauthorized commercial uses of their name, image, likeness or other identifying attributes.

If you believe a product listing, print design, photograph, logo or other content on our Site infringes your rights, please provide the relevant product or page URL, a description of the rights you claim, supporting evidence and your contact details. We will evaluate the report and take appropriate action as required. Trademark and publicity-right complaints are not necessarily DMCA copyright notices and may require a separate legal assessment.
