Copyright Policies

Lucky Wholesale respects intellectual property rights and expects our customers to do the same. Please review this policy carefully before submitting or purchasing any designs.

What Is a Copyrighted Design?

A copyrighted design includes any artwork, logo, character, phrase, or image that is legally owned by an individual, brand, company, organization, or league and protected under copyright or trademark law.

If you did not create the design yourself and do not have written permission or a valid commercial license, the design is likely copyrighted.

Examples of Copyrighted Content (Not Allowed Without Authorization)

The following are not permitted unless you have proper legal rights or written authorization:

• Movie, TV, cartoon, or anime characters

• Sports teams, leagues, mascots, names, or logos

• Brand logos, brand names, or slogans

• Music artists, band names, album artwork, or song lyrics

• Celebrities’ names, likenesses, or photographs

• Video game characters or logos

• College or university names, logos, or mascots

If a design is recognizable from entertainment, sports, or major brands, it is almost always copyrighted.

How Can I Tell If a Design Is Copyrighted?

A design is likely copyrighted if:

• You recognize it from TV, movies, sports, or major brands

• It includes logos, mascots, or brand names

• It appears on official merchandise

• Permission would normally be required to sell it

Changing colors, fonts, or minor details does not remove copyright protection.

What If I Designed It Myself?

Creating a design yourself does not make it legal if the subject matter is copyrighted.

Examples:

• Drawing a cartoon character yourself → still copyrighted

• Recreating a sports logo → still copyrighted

• Typing a team name in a new font → still copyrighted

Do You Offer Custom Design Services?

Lucky Wholesale does not offer custom design creation services.
If you already have a completed design that you legally own or have rights to, we can print and resize it as requested.

What If I Purchased the Design From Etsy or Another Platform?

Purchasing a design from Etsy or similar platforms does not automatically grant commercial rights.

Please note:

• Many sellers do not own the original rights

• A design being sold does not make it legal

• Third-party licenses do not override copyright or trademark law

If the design includes copyrighted characters, brands, or teams, it may still be illegal to use.

Responsibility for Copyright Compliance

The customer is fully responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to use any submitted artwork.

By submitting artwork to Lucky Wholesale, you confirm that:

• You own the design or

• You have proper written permission or a valid commercial license

Lucky Wholesale is not responsible for any legal claims, fines, damages, or losses resulting from copyright or trademark violations.

Possible Legal Consequences of Copyright Violations

Violations may result in:

• Cease-and-desist notices

• Lawsuits or financial penalties

• Platform bans (Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, etc.)

• Forced product or listing removal

These consequences may apply even if the violation was unintentional.

Design Review & Refusal Rights

Lucky Wholesale does not provide legal approval or verification of artwork.
We reserve the right to refuse any design that clearly violates copyright or trademark laws, but final legal responsibility remains with the customer.
