Fan Art Program

TERMS & CONDITIONS

These terms apply to everyone who submits artwork to MEMETSHIRT.IN. By submitting a design, you agree to them.

Last updated: 1 November 2026

1. 1. Original work only — you are fully responsible

   • Every design you submit must be 100% your own original work. Do not submit artwork, photos, characters, logos, fonts or text copied from anyone else, or anything you do not have full rights to.
   • By submitting, you confirm that you own the design and that printing and selling it will not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or any other right.
   • If any person or company ever makes a claim, complaint, legal notice or case about a design you submitted, you alone are fully responsible for it — including any damages, compensation, legal costs and fines. MEMETSHIRT is not responsible.
   • You agree to indemnify and hold MEMETSHIRT harmless against all such claims, losses and costs, and to cooperate with us in dealing with them.
   • If we receive a claim about your design, we may remove the tee from sale immediately and hold back any unpaid royalty for that design until the matter is resolved.

2. 2. Who can submit

   • You must follow @memetshirtin on Instagram with the account you give us. We check this before approving a design.
   • You must give accurate details (name, Instagram username, UPI ID). You must be 18 or older, or have a parent's or guardian's permission.
   • You can have one design in review at a time.

3. 3. What we don't accept

   • Hate speech, or content that targets religion, caste, gender, community or any group.
   • Obscene, sexually explicit or violent content.
   • Photos or likenesses of real people used without their permission, or content that defames anyone.
   • Brand logos, movie or TV stills, cartoon characters and other material owned by someone else.
   • Anything illegal in India.

4. 4. Review and approval

   • We review every design and decide, at our sole discretion, whether to approve it. We don't have to give a reason, though we usually do.
   • If a design is not selected, its image is deleted from our servers.
   • After approval we may ask you for a high-resolution print file. We may make small changes for printing, such as size, placement, colour or adding our branding.

5. 5. Exclusive rights — only MEMETSHIRT may sell it

   • When a design is approved, you give MEMETSHIRT the exclusive, worldwide right to print, sell and promote products with that design (on our website, Instagram, ads and any other channel), and to use your name and Instagram username as the design credit.
   • Only MEMETSHIRT is permitted to sell an approved design. You must not sell it, print it for sale, or license it to anyone else — yourself included — on any product or platform, and must not do so with a copy or close variation of it.
   • This exclusivity continues unless MEMETSHIRT releases the design back to you in writing (by email). Taking a tee out of the collection does not by itself release it.
   • You may still show the design in your own portfolio and social media posts, as long as nothing is offered for sale.
   • You may ask us to stop selling your design by emailing us with your reason. We will review and understand the situation, and then decide whether to remove it; the decision is ours. Orders already placed will still be fulfilled and their royalty paid.

6. 6. The collection

   • We decide when an approved design goes into the Fan Art collection, its price, and when it is taken out — for example if it isn't selling. Approval does not guarantee that a tee will be listed or sold.

7. 7. Royalty

   • The royalty for each design is set when it is approved, either as a percentage of the sale price or a fixed amount per tee, and is shown in your artist dashboard.
   • Royalty counts only on delivered orders. It is held for 15 days after delivery for returns and replacements, and then becomes payable. Cancelled, returned or replaced orders earn no royalty.
   • Cleared royalty is paid to the UPI ID in your profile. Make sure it is correct — we are not responsible for payments sent to a wrong UPI ID you gave us.
   • You are responsible for any income tax on your royalty earnings.

8. 8. Other

   • We may remove a design, close an artist account or withhold royalty if these terms are broken.
   • We may update these terms. The version on this page applies to new submissions; if a change affects approved designs, we will tell you in your dashboard or by email.
   • These terms are governed by the laws of India.
