Who owns the copyright to my designs?

When working with Merchr, you are not giving up the copyright to your designs. You retain full ownership over all designs personally created by you.

When you create content on Merchr or upload designs, that content belongs to you. The only content Merchr owns is the content we provide, such as clipart or other designs.

When you're designing your products to sell online, make sure you don't use anyone else's copyrighted art or imagery as this could present a legal issue between you and the owner of the artwork.
