DMCA & Copyright

About DCMA & Copyright / Copyright Infringement

DMCA stands for Digital Millennium Copyright Act and is normally only applicable to US based businesses. In the UK it is referred to as a copyright infringement claim. Start Up Decorator is a global business and our clients & customers sell globally, as such we recognize the DMCA act and follow the procedures set out in that act.

We try to ensure that all images and designs we print for our clients are legitimate and that they have the legal right to use them (Our customers agree to this before submitting any artwork) however if you believe that any design we are printing infringes your IP then you must file a take down notice with us.

Please note we will not print any items that are clearly infringing such as Disney, Marvel, Football Teams etc. or we will request proof that you are licensed to reproduce the artwork

This is the procedure for filing a take down notice:
