Artist Design Submission
Terms and Conditions

 
1. We agree that this is, uh, an agreement

This is the agreement between you as either an individual artist or as the legal authorized representative of a group and Wuzzy Wheels Inc, dba blipshift ("blipshift"). By uploading your Idea/Design, you are affirming that you understand and agree to the following terms and conditions, which serve as a contract between you and blipshift.
 
2. We agree to keep agreeing

The term of this agreement starts on the date that submitted work ("Your Idea/Design") is initially uploaded to any blipshift website(s) and continues until either you or blipshift terminates this Agreement in writing. You may revoke your license in writing at any time subject to two limitations: You may not revoke your license for 60 days from the date of submission, nor may you revoke your license after you have been notified that Your Idea/Design will be printed. After Your Idea/Design has been selected for printing you may not use nor allow third parties to use Your Idea/Design for sale on apparel or garments, or posters or stickers for a period of 365 days from the last date of sale by blipshift.
 
3. Your work is your own

You MAY NOT submit an Idea/Design that contains ideas or material that you do not have the legal right to use, including copyrighted images and other people’s designs. This also includes imagery generated with AI tools. If Blipshift is notified of a possible IP infringement of Your Design regarding rights to use of any source IP, at Blipshift’s sole discretion you may forfeit some or all Artist commission due for this design whether or not Blipshift opts to withdraw the design from sale. You agree to bear full liability should you submit an Idea/Design that is not yours and it gets printed, including financial responsibility for any costs incurred protecting blipshift as a result of your actions. These may include printing fees, blipshift’s legal fees, advertising costs, etc. All rights and title to Your Idea/Design not expressly granted to blipshift hereunder are reserved by you, the Artist.
 
4. Your work is fresh

When you submit an Idea/Design to blipshift we require that it not be in the current running of any other apparel contest websites and not currently being sold anywhere else on apparel.
 
5. We will look at Your Work

After submitting Your Idea/Design, it will be reviewed for freshness and awesomeness. We reserve the right to reject any Ideas/Designs if we suspect any of our contest rules are being broken. Blipshift reserves the right to reject any submission that it deems in its sole discretion to be offensive or inappropriate. If Your Idea/Design is rejected, it's probably because you didn't follow the instructions or we suspect you might be breaking the rules or terms.
 
6. If Your Work is awesome we may use it

Your fresh and awesome Idea/Design will be eligible for printing for sixty (60) days from the day you submit it to us. If Your Idea/Design is not selected within 60 days, you retain the rights to the artwork and are welcome to then submit it to other locations or print it yourself. Submissions to blipshift are reviewed on a weekly basis.

  • Ideas: If blipshift selects Your Idea to work with artists to develop into a design to sell on garments or posters, or other merchandise on the blipshift website, you will be notified via the e-mail you provided during submission.
  • Designs: If blipshift selects Your Design for sale on garments on the blipshift website, you will be notified via the e-mail you provided during submission.
By choosing Your Idea/Design, blipshift makes no guarantee of any volume of sales nor does it constitute a promise that Your Idea/Design will, in fact, be sold. Blipshift reserves the right to reverse the decision to use Your Idea/Design for any or no reason at all. After Your Idea/Design has been selected for printing you may not use nor allow third parties to use Your Idea/Design for sale on apparel or garments, or as a sticker or poster for a period of 365 days from the last date of sale by blipshift. Once the 60 days have passed, if Your Idea/Design is not chosen for print by blipshift, you are free to use Your Idea for any commercial or non-commercial purpose. However if Your Idea/Design is used elsewhere, you must notify blipshift by an email to designs@blipshift.com listing where and when Your Idea/Design will be used, so that it can be removed from the blipshift website and future consideration. Blipshift reserves the right to choose Your Idea/Design after the 60 days have passed, on the condition that the Idea/Design has not been used for commercial purposes elsewhere.
 
7. You want us to use it

Once Your Idea/Design is uploaded, you grant blipshift world-wide rights to use the Idea/Design for commercial purposes, including printing and selling of t-shirts, other apparel, posters and stickers for the duration of this Agreement, as well as using it for marketing and promotional purposes (e.g., to display, reproduce, exhibit, broadcast, transmit, distribute through any electronic means or other means, and electronically or otherwise publish by any and all means and media, including the right to use any part of Your Idea/Design in the promotion, advertising or marketing of the blipshift websites) in perpetuity.
 
8. We’ll pay you cash money

In the event that Your Idea/Design is chosen and featured on the blipshift website, Your Idea/Design will be for sale on garments and potentially other items for at least 24 hours. However, blipshift reserves the right to remove Your Idea/Design, without your prior consent or knowledge, if blipshift is notified that Your Idea/Design infringes on a third party’s copyright. In the event that this occurs, artist payment will differ and may be forfeited.

  • Ideas: If Your Idea is sold on the blipshift website, you will be entitled to one (1) free copy of the design on a tee shirt in your preferred size as well as $100 in credit for future shirt designs of your choice (in the form of a single $100 BS gift certificate).
  • Designs: For each garment or other apparel item or poster sold bearing Your Design, blipshift will pay you $1. By submitting Your Design, you understand that blipshift will only print the number of garments or items sold plus 1 tee or item for the artist and at least 1 tee or item for the blipshift archive. Blipshift will contact you, via the e-mail you provided upon submission, indicating the number of garments or items sold bearing your design within 5 days after the close of sale of Your Design. You will be paid the greater amount of the number of items actually sold times $1 per item, or $250. If featuring multiple variants or otherwise similar works of yours at the same time (ex: a design in three different colors) that $250 may be shared across multiple designs. If so, we will inform you before acceptance. If blipshift or any sub-licensee of blipshift chooses to sell additional garments bearing Your Design, blipshift will pay you $1 for every item sold. If blipshift or any sub-licensee of blipshift chooses to sell other non-poster or non-apparel items bearing Your Design (such as stickers) blipshift will pay you $0.20 for every item sold.
 
9. If we have to change it

We may have to make changes to Your Idea/Design to be able to print it onto a t-shirt.

  • Ideas: Blipshift maintains the rights to modify, adapt, change or otherwise alter Your Idea as deemed necessary for production. Any resulting work product shall be fully owned by Blipshift unless rights are explicitly granted to the artist partner.
  • Designs: Blipshift maintains the rights to modify, adapt, change or otherwise alter Your Idea as deemed necessary for production. Any resulting work product shall be fully owned by Blipshift unless rights are explicitly granted to the artist partner.
