Terms of Service

1. Who we are and what we do

FanSourced is a marketplace. Independent creators ("Sellers") upload original fan-inspired designs, and buyers purchase print-on-demand products featuring those designs. FanSourced provides the platform, payment processing through third parties and fulfillment through a print partner. FanSourced is not the creator, author, or owner of the designs listed by Sellers, does not manually review every upload (automated screening is described in Section 6), and is not a party to the creative choices made by Sellers. Sellers are responsible for their designs and the intellectual property in them.

FanSourced.net is operated from the State of Ohio, USA, by FanSourced.com.

FanSourced is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any professional or collegiate league, team, player, or governing body. Team names, places, and sports are referenced only to help fans find designs; any trademarks belong to their respective owners.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, to sell or to buy, and at least 13 to use the Site at all. Users between 13 and 18 may only use the Site with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your login credentials confidential, and for all activity under your account. Tell us immediately at support@fansourced.net if you suspect unauthorized use.

Email verification. Each account must use a valid email address that you control. You must verify it by clicking the link we email you (links expire after 24 hours; you can request a new one) before you can sign in, sell, or check out. One person or business may not use multiple accounts to evade a suspension or our repeat-infringer policy.

Suspension. We may suspend or ban an account, sign it out of all devices, and hide its listings if we reasonably believe it violates these Terms, infringes others' rights, or is used for fraud or abuse. Contact support@fansourced.net if you believe a suspension is a mistake.

3. Orders, pricing and payment

• Prices are shown in US dollars and are set by Sellers. You enter your shipping address on our checkout page and we charge our print partner's actual shipping rate for that address and the shipping method you choose; shipping, and sales tax where it applies, are shown before you pay. We currently ship to the United States and Japan. In the U.S. we ship to all 50 states, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico, but not to other U.S. territories or APO/FPO/DPO military addresses. We can’t ship to other countries. Where enabled, sales tax is calculated by Stripe Tax from your shipping address and applies to shipping where the law taxes it; the amount shown on Stripe's checkout page is the amount charged. Shipping refunds follow our Refunds & Returns policy.
• Payments are processed by third-party processors — currently Stripe (cards) and, when enabled, PayPal. We never see or store your full card number. Your use of those services is also subject to their terms.
• An order is placed only once payment has been confirmed by the payment processor. We send an order to our print partner only after that confirmation. Leaving checkout or a failed payment means no order and no charge.
• Cancellation by you. You may cancel an order until it ships from the order status page. If you cancel before your order ships, we refund your payment minus the non-refundable card/PayPal processing fee (the fee Stripe or PayPal actually charged on that payment, pro-rated if only part of the order is canceled). Details are in our Refunds & Returns policy.
• We may cancel or refuse an order (and refund any payment in full) for suspected fraud, pricing or listing errors, removal of a design for an IP or policy issue, or if our print partner cannot fulfil it. Duplicate or unauthorized charges and orders that can't be fulfilled are also refunded in full.
• Products are made to order by our fulfillment partner (currently Printful). Colors and placement can vary slightly from on-screen mockups. Delivery dates are estimates.
• Orders shipped to Japan. Prices and payment are in US dollars; any yen amount we show is an estimate, and your card issuer or PayPal may charge a currency-conversion fee. Japanese addresses must be entered in Latin letters (romaji) and include a phone number for the delivery carrier. Items made outside Japan are shipped internationally and Japanese import duty and import consumption tax, if charged, are set by Japan Customs and paid by the recipient; they are not included in our prices or refunded by us. A package refused or left unclaimed because of duties is not a lost package. Our disclosures under Japan's Act on Specified Commercial Transactions are on the 特定商取引法に基づく表記 page. Before you pay, the checkout shows a final order review (注文内容の最終確認) with the items, quantities, total price including shipping, payment and delivery timing, and the cancellation and return terms.

4. Your content and the license you grant

"User Content" means designs, images, titles, descriptions, flags, messages and anything else you submit. You keep ownership of your User Content. You grant FanSourced a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, resize, adapt (for example to create product mockups and fit print areas), display, distribute, and print your User Content, and to use it to operate, promote and improve the Site — including on social media and in advertising for your listings — for as long as it is on the Site and for a reasonable period afterwards to complete pending orders, comply with law and keep backups. Our print partners receive a sublicense to produce ordered items.

You represent that you have all rights needed to grant this license and that your User Content and our use of it as permitted here will not infringe or misappropriate anyone's copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy, or other rights, and will not violate any law.

5. Prohibited content and conduct

You may not upload, sell or promote content that: infringes copyright, trademark, publicity or other rights (including official league or team logos, wordmarks, uniforms or player names and likenesses without permission); is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or exploits minors; promotes violence; contains malware; or is misleading. You may not scrape the Site, interfere with its security, circumvent access controls, abuse the reporting system with false claims, or use the Site for fraud or money laundering.

Product reviews. Only a buyer with a confirmed purchase of a product (a paid order that wasn't canceled or fully refunded before it shipped) can review it, once per purchased product; reviews show a "Verified purchase" badge and the product, color and size bought. A comment is required and stars are optional. Your review is shown under your first name and last initial or a display name you choose; we never show your email or address. Reviews must be your honest experience with the product and must not include links, contact details or anyone's personal information, ads or spam, hateful, harassing or sexual content, or anything that breaks section 5. You must not be paid or rewarded for a review, review your own products, or post on someone else's behalf. You can edit or delete your own review at any time. Sellers can post one public reply per review but cannot edit or remove reviews. Anyone can report a review; we may hide reviews that break these rules (hidden reviews don't count toward ratings), and reviews are User Content under section 4.

（レビューについて）商品のレビューは、その商品を購入されたお客様（お支払い済みで、発送前にキャンセル・全額返金されていないご注文）のみ、購入商品ごとに1件投稿できます。コメントは必須、星は任意です。表示名は「名＋姓の頭文字」または任意の表示名で、メールアドレスや住所は表示されません。リンク・連絡先・個人情報・宣伝・差別的または性的な内容は禁止です。報酬を受けたレビュー、自分の商品へのレビューもできません。ご自身のレビューはいつでも編集・削除できます。出品者はレビューごとに1回公開返信できますが、レビューの編集・削除はできません。規約に反するレビューは非表示にすることがあり、非表示のレビューは評価に含まれません。

6. Intellectual property complaints (DMCA notice and takedown)

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged infringement. Anyone can report a listing using the "Flag Concern" button on any design page, or a seller's store profile using "Flag concern about this store" on their store page. Each report gets a private status link by email; repeat reports of the same listing from the same email while it is under review are combined into the first one. Knowingly false or abusive reports are prohibited and may lead to account termination. Rights holders who want a formal takedown under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) should send a written notice to our designated agent containing:

1. your physical or electronic signature (or that of a person authorized to act for the owner);
2. identification of the copyrighted work (or, for trademarks, the registered mark) claimed to be infringed;
3. the URL(s) of the listing(s) on FanSourced you want removed;
4. your name and contact information, including an email address where we can reach you;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Designated agent: FanSourced Copyright Agent, legal@fansourced.net. Send DMCA notices, counter-notices and other IP complaints by email to that address; we do not accept notices by phone. [OWNER: register a DMCA designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office]

We will remove or disable access to the reported material expeditiously and notify the Seller. Counter-notice: a Seller who believes material was removed by mistake or misidentification may email legal@fansourced.net a counter-notice with their signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that they have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, their name, address and phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for their address (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which FanSourced may be found) and to accept service from the complainant. We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action. Knowingly false notices or counter-notices may lead to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

We handle trademark, right-of-publicity and other complaints in a similar way, and we may remove content we believe in good faith is infringing even without a formal notice.

Automatic screening. Seller uploads are automatically screened for trademarks, logos, copyrighted characters and previously removed art. Uploads that use the exact protected entity are rejected; uploads that only resemble a protected mark may be listed after the Seller accepts a warning that they may be flagged and taken down, and others may be held for review. Screening cannot detect every infringement and is not a guarantee or endorsement; sellers remain responsible for their content, and anyone can still report a listing.

Sellers take the risk for their designs. Each Seller is solely responsible, and bears the full risk, for any trademark, copyright, right-of-publicity or other infringement in the content they upload, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FanSourced.com from related claims as described in the Seller Terms. To the fullest extent permitted by law, FanSourced is not liable for infringement in Seller content. We may remove such content, withhold or claw back payouts tied to infringing items, and terminate repeat infringers. This does not change the notice-and-takedown process above.

7. Repeat-infringer policy

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. As a general rule an account that receives three valid infringement strikes (removals for which no successful counter-notice was submitted) within any 12-month period will be terminated, and we may terminate sooner for egregious or willful infringement. Pending payouts tied to infringing sales may be withheld and refunded to buyers.

8. Moderation and termination

We may, at our discretion and without liability, review, hide, remove or refuse any content, suspend or end any account, and cancel listings or orders that we believe violate these Terms or the law, expose us or others to risk, or are subject to a complaint. You may close your account at any time; Sections 4 (for pending orders and backups), 6–16 survive termination.

9. Fees

Buyers do not pay a platform fee. FanSourced charges Sellers a 15% platform fee (for orders paid on or after October 21, 2026; 13% before), deducted from the Seller's payout only after the order has been fulfilled by our print partner. For orders paid on or after October 21, 2026, Sellers also pay their items' share of the payment processing fee and 70% of lost chargebacks on their items. See the Seller Terms for details.

Discounts. We may offer promotions such as a multi-item "bundle & save" discount on FanSourced Originals items. The discount, if any, is shown in your cart and charged exactly as shown at checkout; promotions can change or end at any time and can't be combined unless we say so.

10. Third-party services

The Site relies on third parties, including Stripe and PayPal (payments and, where enabled, Stripe Tax for sales tax), Printful (production and shipping), Resend (account and order emails), Vercel (hosting) and Neon (database). We are not responsible for third-party services, and links to third-party sites are provided for convenience only.

11. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL PRODUCTS AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FANSOURCED DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT USER CONTENT IS ACCURATE, LAWFUL OR NON-INFRINGING. Any warranty on physical products is limited to what our Refunds & Returns policy describes. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of these may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FANSOURCED AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, USER CONTENT OR PRODUCTS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO FANSOURCED (OR, FOR SELLERS, THE FEES WE RETAINED FROM YOU) IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US $100. These limits apply to the maximum extent permitted by law and do not limit liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FanSourced and its owners, officers, employees and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right, including intellectual property claims relating to designs you upload.

14. Dispute resolution, arbitration and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by emailing a notice of dispute to legal@fansourced.net and giving us 30 days to respond.

Arbitration. Except for small-claims matters and claims for injunctive relief relating to intellectual property, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by [OWNER: choose provider, e.g. the American Arbitration Association] under its consumer rules, in Hamilton County, Ohio, or by video. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this provision. Class-action waiver: you and FanSourced each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@fansourced.net with your name and a clear statement that you opt out. If arbitration does not apply, disputes will be heard exclusively in the state courts located in Hamilton County, Ohio, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, and you and FanSourced consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Consumers outside the United States (including Japan). Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country where you live that cannot be waived by contract. For example, if you are a consumer in Japan, provisions of these Terms are applied only to the extent permitted by Japan's Consumer Contract Act, and you may cancel an arbitration agreement as Japan's Arbitration Act allows consumers to do.

（日本のお客様へ）本規約は英語版が正本です。本規約のいかなる条項も、日本の消費者契約法その他の強行法規によりお客様に認められる権利を制限するものではありません。また、お客様は仲裁法の定めにより仲裁合意を解除することができます。

15. Changes to the Site and these Terms

How you agree, and how we record it. You must tick a box agreeing to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Refunds & Returns policy before every purchase, including when you check out as a guest, and to these Terms and the Seller Terms before you create a seller account or publish a design. We record each agreement (your account or the email used at checkout, the order where relevant, which documents and version you agreed to, the date and time, and your IP address and browser user agent) as evidence of the agreement. Signed-in sellers are asked to re-confirm these terms every 30 days and whenever we change them; checkout agreement is given again with every order. Until you re-confirm you can still browse, view your account and track orders, but you can't buy or publish. Re-confirming does not unpublish your existing listings.

We may change the Site or these Terms. If we make a material change we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. General

These Terms, together with the policies linked above, are the entire agreement between you and FanSourced about the Site. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.

Notices. Formal notices to FanSourced under these Terms, including DMCA and other IP notices, notices of dispute and arbitration notices (including opt-outs), must be sent by email to legal@fansourced.net; we do not accept notices by phone. A notice you send us is effective when it is received at that address (if you get a bounce or delivery-failure message, it has not been delivered). We may give you notice by email to the address on your account or used at checkout, or by posting on the Site; an email notice from us is effective when sent.
