DMCA Policy

Last Updated: July 29, 2026

NFL Crocs respects the copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights of creators, artists, businesses, organizations, and rights holders. We expect customers, visitors, contributors, production partners, fulfillment providers, and other users of our services to respect those rights as well.

This DMCA Policy explains how NFL Crocs reviews notices concerning content, product artwork, photographs, graphics, text, customer submissions, custom requests, and other materials displayed on or submitted through our website.

NFL Crocs operates as a Print-on-Demand store offering football-inspired clogs, fan-themed footwear, personalized products where available, and other made-to-order items. We do not knowingly permit the use of content that infringes the valid intellectual property rights of another party.

1. Respect for Intellectual Property

NFL Crocs is committed to respecting copyrights and other intellectual property rights.

We may review and take action against content that appears to infringe:

• Copyrights
• Trademarks
• Trade dress
• Design rights
• Rights of publicity
• Privacy rights
• Other proprietary rights

When we receive a complete and valid infringement notice, we may take appropriate action, including:

• Removing or disabling access to reported content
• Removing a product or collection from the website
• Suspending the sale of a product
• Rejecting a custom design request
• Placing an order on hold
• Canceling an order before production
• Contacting the person who submitted the content
• Requesting additional ownership information
• Restricting or terminating access to our services

We may also act without receiving a formal notice when we reasonably believe that content creates a significant legal, intellectual property, consumer-confusion, or brand-protection risk.

2. Scope of This Policy

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act primarily establishes a process for addressing claims of online copyright infringement.

This Policy also explains how NFL Crocs may handle complaints involving trademarks, trade dress, rights of publicity, privacy rights, false affiliation, counterfeit claims, or other intellectual property concerns.

A complaint involving a non-copyright right may not qualify as a formal DMCA notice. However, we may still review and act on the complaint under our Terms of Service and intellectual property standards.

3. Prohibited Content

Customers and website users may not upload, submit, request, order, publish, or provide content that:

• Infringes another party’s copyright
• Uses a trademark or logo without authorization
• Copies protected artwork, graphics, photographs, or illustrations
• Reproduces another creator’s design without permission
• Uses protected team logos, league marks, mascots, or uniforms without authorization
• Uses celebrity names, images, signatures, or likenesses without permission
• Uses copyrighted sports, movie, television, music, game, comic, or entertainment content without authorization
• Violates privacy or publicity rights
• Creates a false impression of endorsement, sponsorship, licensing, or official affiliation
• Is counterfeit or misleading
• Copies or closely imitates another seller’s original product artwork
• Violates applicable law or third-party platform requirements

We may reject, remove, or disable any content that violates these requirements.

4. Customer-Submitted Designs

Some products may allow customers to submit names, phrases, photographs, logos, artwork, design references, or other personalized content.

By submitting content to NFL Crocs, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the content; or
• You have all necessary licenses and permissions to use it;
• You have permission from identifiable individuals appearing in the content;
• The content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other third-party right;
• The content is not unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, threatening, or misleading;
• NFL Crocs and its production partners may legally reproduce the content to fulfill your order.

We may request proof that you are authorized to use submitted content.

Failure to provide reasonable proof of authorization may result in rejection or cancellation of the custom request.

5. Limited License for Order Fulfillment

When you submit content for a personalized product, you grant NFL Crocs and its production partners a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, resize, format, transmit, print, inspect, and process that content solely as reasonably necessary to fulfill the order and provide related customer support.

This limited license does not transfer ownership of your original content to NFL Crocs.

The license ends when it is no longer reasonably necessary to complete the order, maintain required business records, resolve disputes, or comply with applicable law.

6. Football and Footwear Brand Disclaimer

NFL Crocs is an independently operated Print-on-Demand store.

Unless expressly confirmed in writing, NFL Crocs is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, licensed by, or officially connected to:

• The National Football League
• Any NFL member club
• NFL Players Association
• Any football player, coach, stadium, or sports organization
• Crocs, Inc.
• Crocs Retail, LLC
• Any other footwear company
• Any trademark, copyright, or licensing owner

Third-party names, logos, team marks, league marks, product designs, trade dress, and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.

The inclusion of this disclaimer does not create permission to use protected intellectual property. We may remove, modify, suspend, or cancel any product that raises a valid intellectual property concern.

7. Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice

If you believe that material available on the NFL Crocs website infringes a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may send us a written copyright infringement notice.

Your notice must provide sufficient information for us to:

• Identify the copyrighted work
• Locate the allegedly infringing material
• Evaluate the complaint
• Contact the complaining party
• Provide notice to the affected content provider where applicable

Incomplete, inaccurate, or unsupported notices may delay our review.

8. Required Contents of a DMCA Notice

A copyright infringement notice should include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If the notice covers multiple copyrighted works, you may provide a representative list.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it.
4. The exact URL of each reported product, page, image, or other item whenever available.
5. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
6. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
7. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
8. Any registration information, ownership documents, original publication links, dated source files, or other supporting evidence that may help us evaluate the claim.

A notice that does not contain substantially all required information may not be effective under the DMCA.

9. Where to Send a DMCA Notice

Send copyright infringement notices to:

NFL Crocs – Copyright Contact
Email: [email protected]
Subject: DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice

Please include all relevant information in one message whenever possible.

Do not send unrelated customer-service requests using the DMCA subject line.

10. Review of a DMCA Notice

After receiving a notice, NFL Crocs may:

• Confirm receipt of the notice
• Review the information provided
• Request additional evidence or clarification
• Remove or disable access to the reported content
• Suspend the affected product listing
• Stop production where reasonably possible
• Cancel an affected order where appropriate
• Notify the person who supplied the content
• Provide the affected person with a copy of the notice
• Maintain records of the complaint
• Take action against repeat infringers

Removal of content does not constitute an admission that infringement occurred.

NFL Crocs may act temporarily while reviewing a complaint when continued display or production may create legal risk.

11. Notifications to Affected Users

When appropriate, we may notify the customer, contributor, designer, seller, or other person responsible for the reported content.

The notice may include:

• Identification of the removed content
• A copy or summary of the complaint
• Contact information supplied by the complaining party
• Instructions concerning a counter-notification
• Information about other actions taken

By submitting a DMCA notice, you acknowledge that information in your notice may be shared with the person responsible for the reported content, our service providers, legal advisers, hosting provider, payment provider, or other parties reasonably involved in handling the complaint.

12. Counter-Notification

A person whose content was removed or disabled as a result of a copyright complaint may submit a counter-notification when they believe the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification.

A counter-notification is a legal statement and should not be submitted merely because the person disagrees with the copyright owner or wants a product restored.

Before submitting a counter-notification, consider obtaining advice from a qualified intellectual property attorney.

13. Required Contents of a Counter-Notification

A counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed or disabled.
3. The URL or location where the material appeared before removal or disabling.
4. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
5. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
6. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located.
7. If your address is outside the United States, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a Federal District Court in which NFL Crocs may be found.
8. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original infringement notice or that person’s authorized agent.
9. Any supporting documents or explanation that may help establish that the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification.

14. Where to Send a Counter-Notification

Send counter-notifications to:

NFL Crocs – Copyright Contact
Email: [email protected]
Subject: DMCA Counter-Notification

A counter-notification that does not contain the required information may be rejected or returned for clarification.

15. Procedure After a Counter-Notification

After receiving a valid counter-notification, NFL Crocs may provide a copy to the party that submitted the original copyright complaint.

The original complaining party may then have an opportunity to notify us that it has filed a court action seeking to prevent restoration of the disputed content.

If we do not receive notice of such a court action within the period required under applicable law, we may restore the material or cease disabling access to it when appropriate.

Restoration is not automatic or guaranteed.

NFL Crocs may decide not to restore content when it independently violates:

• Our Terms of Service
• Our intellectual property standards
• Our product rules
• Our service-provider requirements
• Our payment-provider requirements
• Applicable law
• Other website policies

16. Repeat Infringer Policy

NFL Crocs may restrict or terminate access to services for customers, contributors, or other users who repeatedly submit or request infringing content.

Depending on the circumstances, action may include:

• Removing content
• Disabling product listings
• Rejecting custom requests
• Canceling orders
• Issuing warnings
• Restricting account features
• Suspending an account
• Refusing future service
• Permanently terminating access

We may consider factors such as:

• The number of complaints
• The apparent validity of the complaints
• The nature of the reported material
• Whether the user received prior warnings
• Whether the user submitted valid counter-notifications
• Whether infringement appears intentional
• Whether the user continues prohibited conduct

Serious violations may result in immediate action without a prior warning.

17. Restoration Is Not Guaranteed

Even when a customer submits a counter-notification, NFL Crocs is not required to continue offering, producing, promoting, or selling a particular product.

We may permanently discontinue a product when we determine that it:

• Creates an unacceptable intellectual property risk
• Violates our internal standards
• May confuse consumers about affiliation
• Is rejected by a fulfillment partner
• Is prohibited by a payment provider
• Violates applicable law
• Is no longer suitable for our store

A decision not to sell a product is separate from a determination of whether copyright infringement legally occurred.

18. Trademark and Brand Complaints

Trademark complaints should identify:

• The trademark owner
• The trademark or brand element involved
• Registration details where available
• The reported product or webpage
• The exact URL
• How the use may cause confusion
• Whether the use is alleged to be counterfeit
• Your contact information
• Your authority to act for the owner
• Supporting screenshots or documentation

Send trademark and other brand complaints to:

Email: [email protected]

Subject: Trademark or Brand Complaint

Because the DMCA applies primarily to copyright, trademark complaints may be handled under separate legal principles and internal review procedures.

19. Rights of Publicity and Privacy Complaints

A person or authorized representative may contact us concerning unauthorized use of a name, image, voice, signature, likeness, or other personal attribute.

The complaint should include:

• Identification of the affected person
• The relationship of the complainant to that person
• The exact URL of the reported content
• A description of the unauthorized use
• Supporting documentation
• Contact information
• A physical or electronic signature

We may request identity or authorization verification before acting on the complaint.

20. Custom Order Complaints

If a copyright or trademark complaint concerns a custom product that is already in production, we may attempt to stop production where reasonably possible.

However, stopping production may not always be possible after:

• Artwork has been prepared
• Printing has begun
• The product has been completed
• The item has been packaged
• The shipment has been transferred to a carrier

We may cancel or withhold an order that involves disputed content.

Refund eligibility will depend on the circumstances, the party responsible for the submitted content, production status, applicable policies, and legal requirements.

21. False or Misleading Notices

Copyright infringement notices and counter-notifications are serious legal communications.

You must not knowingly submit:

• False ownership claims
• Fabricated evidence
• Misleading statements
• Fraudulent signatures
• Notices intended to harass a competitor
• Notices concerning content you do not own or represent
• Counter-notifications containing knowingly false statements

A person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notification may be responsible for damages, costs, or attorneys’ fees under applicable law.

NFL Crocs may reject abusive, fraudulent, incomplete, or clearly unsupported submissions.

22. Confidentiality and Disclosure

We cannot guarantee that a DMCA notice, counter-notification, or related complaint will remain confidential.

Information may be disclosed to:

• The person who submitted the reported content
• The original complaining party
• Website-hosting providers
• Production partners
• Payment providers
• Legal advisers
• Insurance providers
• Law-enforcement authorities
• Courts or government agencies
• Other parties where required by law

Do not include information in a notice that is not necessary to process the complaint.

23. No Determination of Ownership

NFL Crocs is not a court and generally cannot make a final legal determination concerning:

• Copyright ownership
• Trademark validity
• Fair use
• Licensing disputes
• Contractual ownership
• Authorship disputes
• Publicity rights
• Whether infringement legally occurred

Our actions under this Policy are intended to manage website content, products, customer requests, and legal risk.

The parties remain responsible for resolving disputed legal rights through agreement or an appropriate legal process.

24. No Legal Advice

This Policy is provided for informational and operational purposes only.

Nothing in this Policy constitutes legal advice, creates an attorney-client relationship, or guarantees a particular result.

If you are uncertain about a copyright notice, counter-notification, trademark claim, fair use, licensing issue, or intellectual property right, consult a qualified attorney.

25. Changes to This Policy

We may update this DMCA Policy to reflect changes in:

• Applicable law
• Our business
• Website functionality
• Products
• Production processes
• Service providers
• Intellectual property procedures

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Your continued use of the website after an updated Policy becomes effective means that the updated Policy applies to your subsequent use of our services.
