DMCA Policy
Effective date: October 30, 2026
Hynds Printing respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our customers to do the same. This policy explains how to report content on hyndsprinting.com, or artwork submitted to us for printing, that you believe infringes your copyright, in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Customers are responsible for making sure they have the right to use any artwork, logos, photos or text they send us. See our Terms of Service for more about customer artwork.
1. Reporting copyright infringement
If you believe material on our website, or a product we have made or are making, infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send a written notice to our copyright agent listed in section 4. Your notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- A description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
- A description of the material you believe is infringing and where it is located, such as the page address on our website or the product or order it appears on, with enough detail for us to find it.
- Your name, mailing address, phone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Notices that leave out these items may not be valid, and we may not be able to act on them.
2. What we do when we receive a valid notice
When we receive a notice that meets these requirements, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the material on our website, or pause production of the order involved.
- Make a reasonable effort to let the person who posted or submitted the material know, and send them a copy of the notice.
3. Counter notification
If you believe material of yours was removed or an order was paused because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter notification to our copyright agent. It must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- A description of the material that was removed or disabled and where it appeared before it was removed.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address and phone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which Hynds Printing may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.
When we receive a valid counter notification, we will send a copy to the person who sent the original notice. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the infringement, we may restore the material or resume the order within 10 to 14 business days after we received the counter notification.
