Jerzee respects the intellectual property of others and expects the same from everyone who uses our site. Jerzee sells custom football, baseball and hockey jerseys that customers personalise with their own name and number, plus blank jerseys and fan wear. This page explains how to notify us if you believe content on https://jerzee.shop infringes your copyright, and how we respond. For trademark, design and other intellectual property concerns, see our Intellectual Property Policy.

At a glance

  • Send copyright notices to support@jerzee.shop with the subject “Copyright notice”. Email is our only contact channel.
  • Include all six elements listed below so we can act quickly.
  • We acknowledge every notice within 24 hours on business days, review complete notices promptly, and remove or disable material that infringes.
  • Our postal address for written notices is Jerzee, 3108 N Lawrence Dr, Columbia, MO 65202, US.

1. What this page covers

This page covers any material on our site: product images and illustrations, the jersey layouts shown on product pages, product descriptions, help and policy pages, graphics, and any content customers send us that we might show on the site. It follows the notice-and-takedown process of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and similar laws elsewhere.

Jerzee is a single shop: we do not host other sellers, marketplaces or user profiles. We do not currently publish customer reviews or customer photos on the site. That means most copyright questions will be about content we published ourselves, and we take responsibility for it.

2. How to send a copyright notice

Your written notice must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act for them.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, for example “my photograph of a hockey sweater on a rink bench, first published on my portfolio site”.
  3. Identification of the material you believe is infringing, including the exact URL or URLs on our site, and, for an image, which image on the page.
  4. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

Send the notice to support@jerzee.shop with the subject line “Copyright notice”. Incomplete notices can delay our response; if something is missing, we will tell you what we still need.

3. What we do when we receive a notice

We acknowledge your notice within 24 hours on business days and review every complete notice promptly. If it is valid, we remove or disable access to the material and confirm this to you by email. If the material relates to content someone sent us, we tell that person that it was removed and, where the law allows, share a copy of the notice with your personal contact details withheld.

4. Counter-notification

If content you sent us was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification. It must include your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address and phone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which Jerzee may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

When we receive a valid counter-notification, we forward it to the person who sent the original notice. If they do not tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

5. False or misleading notices

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notification may be liable for damages. If you are not sure whether material infringes your rights, consider getting legal advice before you contact us.

6. Repeat infringement

We stop accepting content from, and may close the accounts of, people who repeatedly send us infringing material.

7. Text customers type for their own jerseys

Our custom products have built-in fields for a name on the back, a number, and on some styles optional front or chest text and sleeve numbers. This text is printed on a single item for the customer who typed it and is not published on our site. Short names and numbers are generally not protected by copyright, but they can raise trademark questions, which our Intellectual Property Policy covers. We do not print the names or logos of real teams, leagues, clubs, colleges, players or brands, and we do not accept image uploads for printing.

Jersey shapes and common features

Every football jersey has shoulders and a back number area, every baseball jersey has a placket, and many hockey jerseys have stripes on the hem and sleeves. These general shapes and features are common to the sport and are not owned by anyone. A notice is most useful when it points to something specific that was copied, such as a photograph, an illustration, an original graphic or a passage of text, rather than to a general feature that all jerseys share.

What removal means for an order

If we remove a product image or page because of a valid notice, open orders for that product are not affected unless the product itself is the problem. If a product has to be withdrawn, we email every customer with an open order for it, offer an alternative style where one fits, and refund anyone who prefers not to continue. Refunds for withdrawn items are sent in full to the original payment method.

Notices from outside the United States

We ship to the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and we accept notices from anywhere. If the law where you live gives you a different process, tell us in your email which law you are relying on; we will review your notice under the U.S. process described here and take that law into account. Please write in English if you can, so we can act without translation delays.

How we handle your details

We use the information in your notice only to deal with it. We may share the notice with the person whose content is affected, without your personal contact details where the law allows, and we keep a record of notices and our responses for as long as needed to show how we handled them. See our Privacy Policy for more.

Checking our site yourself

Every product page, collection page and help page has its own address. When you find something, copy the address from your browser bar and note which image or paragraph you mean, for example “the third image” or “the paragraph under Fit”. This lets us find the exact material in minutes rather than hours.

If you are a customer who received a notice from us

If we write to you because something you sent us was the subject of a notice, you do not need to do anything unless you believe the removal was a mistake. If you do, reply with a counter-notification as described above. Your orders, store credit and returns are not affected by a notice; store credit never expires, and your 60-day return window keeps running as normal.

Notices about our own logo

If you believe someone else is copying the Jerzee name, the JZ logo or our product photos, we would like to know too. Email the link with the subject “IP concern” and we will look into it.

Good faith on both sides

Most copyright questions are honest misunderstandings that a short, polite email can solve. We will treat every notice with care, and we ask senders to check their facts before writing, so that real problems get fixed fast. Thank you for helping keep the site fair for creators and shoppers alike.

9. Where our content comes from

It helps to know how our site is made before you send a notice. Our logo and wordmark are drawn by us. Page layouts, colour names, product names and all page text are written for Jerzee. Product images are commissioned as plain product shots on a white background, and back views show invented example names and numbers. Decorative parts of the site, such as the floodlight beams, speed slashes and scoreboard numbers on the homepage, are built in code rather than taken from photographs. If you believe any of this nevertheless copies your work, we want to hear about it.

10. A sample notice

You do not have to use any particular format, but a notice like this one contains everything we need:

Subject: Copyright notice

I am the photographer and copyright owner of a photo of a red lace-up hockey jersey hanging on a locker-room hook, published on my website in 2025. The second image on https://jerzee.shop/products/example-product/ appears to be a copy of it. I have a good-faith belief that this use is not authorised by me, my agent or the law. The information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, I am the copyright owner. Name, postal address, telephone number, email address, signature.

Replace each part with your own details. Please send one notice per work if you can; it makes each request easier to track.

12. Questions people ask

Can I report something by phone or social media?

No. We do not run phone lines or social media accounts. Email is the only channel, which also gives both of us a written record.

Will you tell me who bought an item?

We do not share customers’ personal information in response to a copyright notice. If a court orders us to disclose information, we follow the law.

My concern is about a team name or logo, not a photo.

Names and logos are usually trademarks rather than copyright. Please use the process on our Intellectual Property Policy page, with the subject “IP concern”. We do not print real team, league, club, college, player or brand names or logos.

Can I ask you to credit me instead of removing the image?

Yes. Tell us in your notice what outcome you want. Where we can agree on permission and credit, we are happy to do that instead of removing the material.

Do you have a registered DMCA agent?

Notices sent to support@jerzee.shop reach the people who handle them. Please use that address for every copyright matter.
