We take other people&#8217;s copyright as seriously as we take our own. This page explains how to tell us if you believe something on sixyard.shop copies your copyrighted work, what we need from you, and what happens after we receive your notice. For trademarks, club or league marks and other rights that are not copyright, see our <a href=\"/intellectual-property-policy/\">Intellectual Property Policy</a>.</p>\n<section class=\"policy-summary\">\n<h2>Copyright notices at a glance</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Send notices to <a href=\"mailto:support@sixyard.shop\">support@sixyard.shop</a> with the subject line &#8220;Copyright notice&#8221;.</li>\n<li>Include the six elements listed below; incomplete notices take longer.</li>\n<li>We acknowledge every notice within 24 hours on business days.</li>\n<li>If the notice is valid, we remove or disable the material and tell you.</li>\n<li>Six Yard is a single store with no outside sellers: everything on the site is ours or was sent to us by a customer.</li>\n</ul>\n</section>\n<h2>What this page covers</h2>\n<p>This process applies to any material that appears on sixyard.shop, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>product designs and the printed artwork shown on product pages;</li>\n<li>product photographs and drawn previews, including the colour-changing jersey illustrations;</li>\n<li>written content such as product descriptions, category texts, guides and policy pages;</li>\n<li>illustrations on the homepage, such as the goal frame, the keeper bag and the pitch diagrams;</li>\n<li>anything a customer has sent us that we have shown on the site, if we ever do so with their permission.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It follows the notice-and-takedown process of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and works the same way for rights holders in Canada, Australia, New Zealand or elsewhere.</p>\n<p>A note about names printed on shirts: names and numbers that customers type on the Name &amp; Number jerseys are printed on their own order only. They are not published on our site and do not appear in product listings. If you are concerned about a name or number appearing on a product page, include the exact URL so we can check it.</p>\n<h2>How to send a copyright notice</h2>\n<p>Please send a written notice by email to <a href=\"mailto:support@sixyard.shop\">support@sixyard.shop</a> with the subject &#8220;Copyright notice&#8221;. It must include all of the following:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act on the owner&#8217;s behalf. A typed full name at the end of the email is accepted as an electronic signature.</li>\n<li>Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been copied. If several works are involved, a representative list is enough, but tell us what each one is.</li>\n<li>Identification of the material on our site that you believe infringes, with the exact URL of each page and, where helpful, a description of which image or passage you mean (for example &#8220;the main product image on the Diamond Net jersey page&#8221;).</li>\n<li>Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address, so we can reach you about the notice.</li>\n<li>A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.</li>\n<li>A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner&#8217;s behalf.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>It helps, though it is not required, to attach a copy or a link to your original work and to tell us when and where it was first published. The more precisely you identify the material, the faster we can find it.</p>\n<h2>What happens after we receive it</h2>\n<table>\n<caption>How a copyright notice is handled</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Step</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What we do</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you receive</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1. Receipt</td>\n<td>Log the notice and check it has all six elements</td>\n<td>An acknowledgement within 24 hours on business days</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2. Missing details</td>\n<td>Ask for what is missing before acting</td>\n<td>An email listing what we still need</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3. Review</td>\n<td>Compare the material on our site with the work you identified</td>\n<td>Questions if anything is unclear</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4. Action</td>\n<td>Remove or disable access to the material if the notice is valid</td>\n<td>Confirmation of what was removed</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5. Follow-up</td>\n<td>Check the material is no longer reachable on the site</td>\n<td>A closing email</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>If the material is part of a product, for example a printed design, we take down the affected images and listing while we review the notice. If a customer had sent us the material, we tell that person it was removed and why, and we share the notice with them, withholding your personal contact details where the law allows.</p>\n<h2>If you think your content was removed by mistake</h2>\n<p>If you sent us material that we removed after a notice, and you believe it was removed because of a mistake or because it was misidentified, you can send a counter-notification to the same email address. It must include:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>your physical or electronic signature;</li>\n<li>identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;</li>\n<li>a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification;</li>\n<li>your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you 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 Six Yard may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>We forward a valid counter-notification to the person who sent the original notice. Under the law, the material may be restored after 10 to 14 business days unless that person tells us they have filed a court action.</p>\n<h2>Before you send a notice</h2>\n<p>Some things are worth checking first, because they are common sources of confusion in keeper apparel:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Common shapes and colours.</strong> Plain colours, a diamond or square net pattern in general, stripes and the shape of a long-sleeve jersey are not owned by anyone on their own. A notice should point to a specific original work that has been copied.</li>\n<li><strong>Trademarks and club marks.</strong> If your concern is a logo, a club crest, a league name or a brand, that is a trademark matter rather than copyright. Please use the process on our <a href=\"/intellectual-property-policy/\">Intellectual Property Policy</a> page instead. We do not use any of them on purpose, so tell us if you see one.</li>\n<li><strong>Your own photos of our products.</strong> If you bought a Six Yard shirt and see your own photo on our site that you did not agree to share, write to us; we will remove it without needing a formal notice.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or a counter-notification can be liable for damages. If you are not sure whether something infringes your rights, you may want to get legal advice before writing to us.</p>\n<h2>Repeat problems</h2>\n<p>If a customer repeatedly sends us material that turns out to infringe other people&#8217;s copyright, we stop accepting material from that customer and may close their account.</p>\n<h2>What this page is not</h2>\n<p>This page is for copyright notices. It is not the place for order questions. For a late parcel, a size exchange or a typo in a name, see <a href=\"/order-tracking/\">Order Tracking</a>, <a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Returns &amp; Exchanges</a> or <a href=\"/cancel-change-order/\">Cancel or Change an Order</a>, or write to us with your order number. Sending order questions with the &#8220;Copyright notice&#8221; subject only slows down both kinds of request.</p>\n<h2>How we keep our own designs original</h2>\n<p>Every Six Yard design starts from the world of the keeper: the goal frame and its corners, the net, the six-yard box chalk, the angle from the posts to the ball, the set position. We draw these ourselves. We do not trace other stores&#8217; products, we do not use club colour-and-crest combinations, and we do not borrow brand stripe patterns. Product images are made for this store; if one ever reaches the site that should not be there, we want to hear about it.</p>\n<h2>Examples that help us act quickly</h2>\n<p>Two short examples show the level of detail that lets us find and assess material without a long back-and-forth:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A product image.</strong> &#8220;The second gallery image on the Youth Goalkeeper Set page, the photo of a young keeper walking across a box on a school field, is my photograph, first published on my portfolio site in the spring. Here is a link to the original and the date it was posted.&#8221; This tells us the page, the exact image and where your original lives.</li>\n<li><strong>A passage of text.</strong> &#8220;The third paragraph of your Keeper Jerseys category text matches a paragraph from my coaching blog article about cutting the angle. Here is the link to my article and the matching sentences.&#8221; This lets us compare the two side by side.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A notice that only says &#8220;you copied my design&#8221; without a link to the design or the page on our site cannot be checked, and we will have to write back for details before we can do anything.</p>\n<h2>Notices about material sent by customers</h2>\n<p>We do not currently publish customer photos or reviews on sixyard.shop. If that changes, any customer photo would appear only with the customer&#8217;s permission, and this page would apply to it in the same way. A customer whose material is removed after a valid notice is told about the removal and can use the counter-notification process above. Personal details are shared between the two sides only as far as the law requires.</p>\n<h2>Keeping records</h2>\n<p>We keep a record of each notice, our reply and what was removed, so that we can show what happened if a question comes up later and so that we can recognise repeat problems. The record contains the details you included in your notice. If you later want to withdraw a notice, for example because you reached an agreement with the person concerned, email us from the same address and tell us which notice you mean.</p>\n<h2>Language and format</h2>\n<p>Notices can be written in plain English in the body of an email; there is no form to fill in and no special file format. If you attach documents, PDF or image files are easiest for us to open. Please keep each notice to one rights holder, so that our reply and any counter-notification go to the right person. If you represent several rights holders, send one email for each.</p>\n<h2>Contact</h2>\n<p>Copyright notices: <a href=\"mailto:support@sixyard.shop\">support@sixyard.shop</a>, subject &#8220;Copyright notice&#8221;.
