Diyjerseys offers different channels that allow Members to communicate and engage with one another through the Site, including forums, messaging tools, blogs, and social media platforms.

When participating in Chat, the name associated with your Diyjerseys Account may be visible to other participants.

Depending on specific settings, Content shared within Chat may be visible or editable by other Users and by Diyjerseys.

Each Collaborator grants the Collaboration Initiator a perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, copy, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, distribute, and otherwise use Assets contained within Collaborative Content on the Site.
6.1.8.1.1. The rights granted to the Collaboration Initiator apply only to the Collaborative Content itself and do not separately transfer ownership rights in individual Assets submitted by other Collaborators.
6.1.8.1.2. COLLABORATORS OTHER THAN THE COLLABORATION INITIATOR AGREE NOT TO PUBLISH COLLABORATIVE CONTENT AS A PUBLIC PRODUCT ON THE SITE.

For clarity, this license does not authorize Diyjerseys to use Tagged Media to create Public Products.

By participating in any Promotion, you agree to comply with the specific terms applicable to that Promotion, which may differ from the provisions of this Agreement. You should review all Promotion-specific rules together with our Privacy Policy, which also governs information submitted in connection with such activities.
If any conflict exists between Promotion rules and this Agreement, the Promotion rules shall prevail.
1. New Programs
Diyjerseys may introduce new programs, features, services, or Products either to selected Users or to the broader Site community.

If your Account is suspended or terminated because of a violation of this Agreement, Diyjerseys may withhold royalties, referral fees, or other payments connected with your Account.

17.2. Termination of this Agreement does not affect any rights, obligations, or liabilities that arose prior to the effective termination date, including payment obligations.
1. Products
18.1. Diyjerseys operates as a platform where:
18.1.1. Content owners and creators ("Designers") may make their Content and Product specifications available for use in connection with the sale or distribution of Products;
18.1.2. Product manufacturers ("Makers") may offer, sell, and/or fulfill Products to Users through the Site.
18.2. To help Users distinguish among the various types of transactions available through the Site, Diyjerseys uses specific labels on Product pages:
18.2.1. "Made by Diyjerseys" and "Sold by Diyjerseys"
This designation means that Diyjerseys is both responsible for manufacturing (or arranging manufacturing of) the Product and selling the Product directly to you.
18.2.2. "Made by [Maker]" and "Sold by Diyjerseys"
This designation indicates that the Product is manufactured by a third-party Maker while Diyjerseys acts as the seller.
18.2.3. "Made by [Maker]" and "Sold by [Maker]"
This designation indicates that an independent Maker both manufactures and sells the Product through Diyjerseys's platform.
The ordering process remains similar to Products sold directly by Diyjerseys; however, Diyjerseys only serves as a facilitator for the transaction.
Diyjerseys does not control or guarantee:
(i) Product quality;
(ii) Product safety;
(iii) legality or morality of Products;
(iv) the accuracy of Product listings; or
(v) the Maker's ability to complete transactions.
Diyjerseys does not pre-screen information submitted by Makers and cannot guarantee that Makers will fulfill obligations or complete transactions.
Diyjerseys also does not participate in the legal transfer of ownership between Makers and Users and cannot verify the true identity of Makers.
Users are encouraged to communicate directly with transaction parties through available Site tools.
You understand and agree that Diyjerseys functions only as a marketplace platform, and transactions are conducted at your own risk.
18.2.4. "Designed by [Designer]"
This designation identifies the Designer who made Content available for use on Products.
Designers represent that they possess the rights necessary to publish such Content; however, Diyjerseys makes no independent guarantee regarding the accuracy of those representations.
1. Product Descriptions
19.1. Diyjerseys strives to provide accurate information and a positive user experience.
Because the Site contains contributions from many Designers, Diyjerseys does not independently verify Product descriptions, titles, tags, categories, metadata, or similar information.
Accordingly, Diyjerseys does not guarantee that Product descriptions or Site Content are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or free from errors.
If a Product sold by Diyjerseys differs materially from its description, Users should refer to Diyjerseys's Shipping and Return Policy.
19.2. Diyjerseys values its relationships with charitable organizations and recognizes that its platform may be used as a fundraising tool.
When Diyjerseys directly announces charitable fundraising efforts, Diyjerseys will ensure that funds are distributed as represented.
However, individual Designers may independently claim they intend to donate royalties or proceeds to charitable organizations, and Diyjerseys cannot independently verify such statements. Users should therefore exercise appropriate caution.
1. Correction of Errors and Inaccuracies
20.1. Information and Product listings on the Site may occasionally contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or outdated material.
Diyjerseys reserves the right to correct, modify, or update information at any time without prior notice, including after an order has already been submitted.
Such corrections may involve Product descriptions, pricing, availability, or design information.
Diyjerseys additionally reserves the right to restrict or limit Product quantities, including after order submission, for any reason, including situations where a Product violates this Agreement.
20.2. If a Product is displayed with incorrect pricing or inaccurate information due to typographical mistakes or information errors from partners, Diyjerseys reserves the right to refuse or cancel any related order.
This right applies whether or not an order has already been confirmed or payment has been processed.
If payment has already been collected and the order is later cancelled, Diyjerseys will issue a refund or credit through the original payment method.
If a User has been overcharged, Diyjerseys will refund the difference between the amount charged and the correct Product price.
1. Pricing, Shipping, and Terms of Sale
Prices displayed for Products on the Site are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are listed in U.S. dollars.
Diyjerseys may revise prices or Product availability at its discretion.
Promotional discounts may occasionally be offered. Eligibility for such discounts may require acceptance of additional promotional terms.
Diyjerseys reserves the right to refuse promotional code use where misuse or abuse is reasonably suspected.
Unless expressly authorized, Users may not apply more than one discount to a single Product.
Ownership and risk of loss for ordered Products transfer to you once Diyjerseys delivers the Product to the shipping carrier.
Purchases are additionally governed by Diyjerseys's Shipping and Return Policy.
Diyjerseys reserves the right to cancel any Product order for any reason, including circumstances involving potential intellectual property violations, and Users will be informed of such cancellation.
1. Diyjerseys Embroidery
22.1. If you use Diyjerseys Embroidery services, your use of the Site is also subject to the provisions of this section.
22.2. To purchase Products through Diyjerseys Embroidery or create publicly available embroidery Products for sale, you must comply with applicable restrictions.
If you wish to convert Content into embroidery format and do not provide a stitch file, Diyjerseys will determine the applicable conversion fee and notify you of the cost.
Upon payment of the applicable fees, you may obtain the stitch file and use it to create Products.
If you create a public embroidery Product for sale, publication typically occurs once the stitch file process is completed, usually within twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours, although longer processing periods may occur.
Conversion of Content into stitch files requires a one-time conversion fee, and additional resizing of stitch files may require separate conversion fees.
1. Earnings
23.1. If you participate as a Designer or Associate (as defined under the Designer License Agreement), Diyjerseys will issue royalties, referral fees, volume bonuses, or other forms of compensation (collectively, "Earnings") only if Diyjerseys determines that your Account and any associated Stores have remained fully compliant with all applicable Policies throughout the relevant payment period and up to the payment date.
23.2. Diyjerseys maintains a record of your Earnings, which may be reviewed through the "My Account" section of your Account.
23.3. Conditions for Earnings to Become Earned and Payable
The following conditions must be satisfied before Earnings become considered earned and payable by Diyjerseys:
23.3.1. Payment Threshold Requirement
Your Earnings balance must meet the minimum payment threshold applicable to your selected payment method.
23.3.1.1. Payment Thresholds currently include:
(i) USD $100 for payments issued by check; and
(ii) USD $50 for payments through PayPal.
Diyjerseys reserves the right to modify these thresholds at any time and will notify Users regarding such changes.
23.3.1.2. You may request payment before reaching the required threshold; however, processing fees will apply:
(i) USD $5.00 for checks under USD $100; or
