Your Free (to do whatever your want)
We get a lot of emails into Customer Support like this:
I have a design I previously submitted to Threadless that was never printed, and I had it removed from the website. Would that count as previously publish, or would it be eligible for submission to Bountee?
And I just wanted to set the record straight about submissions - especially with sites like Threadless.com who take ownership of your design once they publish it.
We don't currently hold ANY restrictions as to what or where you would like to place designs - after all they are YOUR designs right? :)
The only rules you need to abide by are those that are set by these other submission sites; i.e. if Threadless haven't chosen your design and the voting limit has passed then you are welcome to add your design to your Bountee page!
This is reproduced from their terms and conditions:
Once the ninety (90) days have passed, if your Design is not chosen for print by Threadless.com, you are free to use the Design for any commercial or non-commercial purpose. However if your Design is used elsewhere, you must notify Threadless.com by email art@threadless.com about where and when the Design will be used, so that it can be removed from the Threadless.com website at that time.
So if your shirt hasn't made the Threadless grade, then as long as you notify them that you wish to remove it then you're good to go with Bountee.
In fact, you can publish whatever you like through us - and even submit it to Threadless (or the myriad of other similar sites) again as well if that's your fancy? :)
Because these are your designs - so you are really free to do whatever you want :)
Hope this helps clarify things a little? Can't wait to see your designs.
