Delivery Procedure

Any time quoted for delivery is an estimate only; provided, however, that Giganshirt shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all merchandise on or before the stated delivery date. No delay in shipment or delivery of any merchandise relieves Seller of their obligations under this Agreement.

Print Variance

Print size and exact location may vary based on the product size. Colors are best matched to the artwork provided. Giganshirt may substitute comparable products if stock becomes an issue. Exact print size, location, and colors are not guaranteed; and are completely dependent on the artwork uploaded by the seller.

Price and Payment

Seller shall determine the price of the merchandise sold for each campaign, Giganshirt shall retain from the customer payments, Giganshirt will determine the base price as the cost of goods sold (including any additional expenses and fees Giganshirt determines necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement), and remit to Seller any amount in excess of such base price (“Seller Profits”).

You understand and agree that Giganshirt reserves the right to remove any content that may be considered to promote hate, violence, racial intolerance, or the financial exploitation of a crime.

You understand and agree that Giganshirt may, in its sole discretion, release your contact information to a third party that satisfactorily alleges, pursuant to Giganshirt’s Intellectual Property Complaint Policy below, unauthorized use of its intellectual property.

Upon receipt by Giganshirt of an allegation of infringement that comports with Giganshirt’s Intellectual Property Complaint Policy, in Giganshirt’s sole discretion, your campaign may be subject to immediate cancellation, possible forfeiture of any profits, and suspension or termination of your account with Giganshirt.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLAINT POLICY

Giganshirt keeps the rights to sweep any infringement contents related to (but not limit) trade mark, copyrights and other content violations. All the content uploaded by user should go through our review process with 2 steps as below:

At the first round, our platform will do a check by our bot. Our bot will automatically crawl all the user generated contents and match it with Google Vision library. If it found any content violation, the platform will flag the campaign immediately.
Some tricky designs should be able to pass the bot. We have our second round of reviewing by humans to make sure we can catch those content.

Giganshirt provides users with a platform to sell their own merchandise. Users contractually agree to all terms prior to use of Giganshirt services. Giganshirt contractually prohibits users from using its services to sell merchandise that infringes upon third party intellectual property rights (such as copyright, trademark, trade dress, and right of publicity).

It is Giganshirt policy to block and remove any content that it believes in good faith to infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties following receipt of a compliant notice; and to terminate service for repeated infringement.

If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed upon by a Giganshirt user, please notify Giganshirt at [email protected]. You must include within your notification the following information:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property that you allege is being infringed
The URL to the Giganshirt campaign(s) used in connection with the sale of the allegedly infringing merchandise.
Identification of the copyright, trademark, or other rights that allegedly have been infringed, including proof of ownership (such as copies of existing trademark or copyright registrations).
Your full name, address, telephone number(s), and email address(es).
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the URL submitted is unauthorized by the rights owner, or its licensee, and such use amounts to infringement under federal or state law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is complete and accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property or other right that is allegedly infringed.

COUNTER-NOTICE POLICY

If you believe that a claim of intellectual property infringement was filed by mistake or misidentification you may file a counter-notice. If you materially misrepresent in your counter-notice that your design is not infringing upon the intellectual property, you may be liable for damages to the intellectual property owner (including costs and attorney’s fees). Therefore, if you are unsure whether or not the material infringes on the intellectual property, please contact an attorney before filing the counter-notice. The counter-notice should be submitted to [email protected] and must include the following information:

Your physical or electronic signature;
Your full name, address, telephone number(s), and email address(es);
Identification of the material and its location before it was removed, either by URL to the Giganshirt campaign(s) used in connection with the sale of the allegedly infringing merchandise or Giganshirt campaign number;
A statement under penalty of perjury that the claim of intellectual property infringement that led to the removal or blockage of access to material was filed by mistake or misidentification;
Your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in the district where you live (if you are in the U.S.), or your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in the district where your service provider is located (if you are not in the U.S.);
Your consent to accept service of process from the party who submitted the takedown notice or an agent of that party.

If you submit a counter-notice, a copy of the counter-notice may be sent to the complaining party informing the complaining party that Giganshirt may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the intellectual property owner files an action seeking a court order against you, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

REPEAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLAINT POLICY

If Giganshirt receives repeated notices that you have posted others’ intellectual property without permission, Giganshirt may terminate your account. Giganshirt has a system for keeping track of repeat violators of intellectual property rights of others, and determining when to suspend or terminate your account.

Giganshirt reserves the right to terminate accounts that act against the spirit of the Terms of Use, regardless of how many strikes are involved.

WITHHOLDING AND TAX MATTERS

It is contemplated that the services and transactions described in this Agreement will not impose a withholding obligation upon Giganshirt under Section 1442 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Giganshirt concludes that it has an obligation to withhold under Section 1442 of the Code (or other applicable law) with respect to Seller Profits, Giganshirt will withhold all applicable income tax from any payments or Seller Profits otherwise due to Seller.

Seller shall be solely responsible for payment of its own tax liabilities which may arise under the Agreement, and shall indemnify Giganshirt for any tax obligations, including for federal income tax withholding, which may arise as a result of this Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION

Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Giganshirt and Giganshirt’s affiliates, employees, officers, directors, and agents from and against all claims, demands, actions, suits, damages, liabilities, losses, settlements, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which arise out of or relate to (i) any content submitted or posted by Seller, (ii) Seller’s use of, or connection with, Giganshirt’s website, (iii) Seller’s violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Terms of Use, or (iv) Seller’s violation of any rights of a third party. To secure Seller’s prompt and complete payment and performance of any and all present and future indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Seller to Giganshirt including with respect to any indemnification arising out of the Agreement or the Terms of Use, Seller hereby grants Giganshirt a security interest in all proceeds of the merchandise (including Seller Profits and insurance proceeds). Giganshirt shall be entitled to all applicable rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law.

IN NO EVENT SHALL GIGANSHIRT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE Terms of Use, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OTHERWISE OWED TO SELLER AS SELLER PROFIT.
