Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 25, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 30, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Outlaw Studio platform and website (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users including visitors, registered users, and subscribers.

2. Description of Service

Outlaw Studio provides an AI-powered design generation platform combined with a proprietary marketplace compliance scoring tool (the "Outlaw-O-Meter™") designed to help independent print-on-demand sellers assess IP and trademark risk before listing designs on third-party marketplaces. The Service is currently in beta and features may change as we continue development.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide is accurate.

4. User Accounts

To access certain features, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Contact us immediately at outlawstudio1@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Certain features require a paid subscription billed monthly in advance. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings.

We will provide at least 30 days' notice before any pricing changes take effect for active subscribers. We believe you should know what's coming.

Daily generation limits reset at midnight UTC. Generations do not roll over between days. If you reach your tier's daily limit, generation will pause until the next reset; you may upgrade your tier at any time to immediately increase your limit.

Flat fulfillment fees charged at the time of order placement are non-refundable once production has begun, consistent with the production policies of our fulfillment partner. Subscription charges may be refunded at our discretion within 7 days of a renewal charge if you have not used the Service materially during that billing period. Contact outlawstudio1@gmail.com to request a refund.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Generate or list designs that knowingly infringe on the intellectual property rights of others
  • Create content that is illegal, defamatory, or targeted at harming specific individuals
  • Circumvent usage limits or access controls
  • Use automated tools to access the Service beyond normal usage patterns
  • Reverse engineer our compliance scoring methodology
  • Resell or redistribute access to the Service without authorization

Outside of these boundaries, we don't police creativity. If it's legal and it's yours, it belongs here.

7. Content Policy — Parody, Satire & Prohibited Use

Outlaw Studio exists to support independent designers making original, transformative, and commentary-driven work — including parody and satire, which carry recognized legal protection as fair use. A meaningful amount of the most interesting design work lives in this space, and we built the Outlaw-O-Meter specifically to help you navigate it with real information instead of guesswork.

That said, parody is a legal standard, not a loophole. We do not permit, and the Outlaw-O-Meter is built to flag:

  • Verbatim or near-verbatim reproduction of copyrighted artwork, characters, or logos
  • Designs that simply alter a color, font, or single word on protected IP without meaningful transformation or commentary
  • Use of a registered trademark in a way that implies endorsement by, or affiliation with, the rights holder
  • Content that is illegal, defamatory, or targeted at harming a specific individual

A high Outlaw-O-Meter score does not mean a design is banned from the platform — it means you're making an informed choice about real-world risk before you list. The final decision, and final responsibility, is always yours.

There is a separate category of risk the Outlaw-O-Meter accounts for that goes beyond strict legality: designs referencing major, well-resourced rights holders. Some parody and commentary work involving globally recognized characters or brands may be technically defensible under fair use law, but a rights holder with substantial legal resources can make that fight financially ruinous for an independent seller regardless of the underlying merit of the parody defense. Marketplaces also routinely remove this kind of content on complaint alone, before any legal question is ever resolved.

For this reason, Outlaw Studio reserves the right to decline to generate, list, fulfill, or continue offering designs that reference certain heavily litigious rights holders, independent of whether the design might otherwise qualify as protected parody. This is a business risk decision, not a statement that such designs are illegal — it reflects our judgment that some legal fights are not worth winning on principle if winning still costs more than an independent designer or small platform can absorb.

8. Compliance Scoring Disclaimer; No Legal Advice

The Outlaw-O-Meter™ scores are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. No scan result guarantees that a design will not result in marketplace removal, account action, or legal claims. IP law is complex and enforcement is inconsistent across platforms.

The Outlaw-O-Meter references publicly available data, including U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) trademark registration records and publicly available copyright and takedown information. This data may be incomplete, outdated, or fail to reflect pending applications, unregistered common-law trademark rights, or international trademark protections not recorded with the USPTO. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any third-party data source the Outlaw-O-Meter relies on.

Outlaw Studio is not a law firm, does not provide legal services, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by your use of the Service, the Outlaw-O-Meter, or any communication with us. Nothing on this Service should be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney. If you have specific legal questions about a design, a marketplace dispute, or your IP rights, consult a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.

We will always tell you specifically what triggered a flag and what your options are. We will not leave you with a form letter and no path forward. But the final decision on what to list is always yours, and you are responsible for ensuring your designs comply with applicable laws and marketplace policies.

9. Account Actions and Communication

We believe you deserve to know what is happening with your account and why. If we need to take action related to your account — including restricting access for violations of these Terms — we will:

  • Notify you directly with a specific explanation of what occurred
  • Provide a reasonable opportunity to respond before permanent action where circumstances allow
  • Give you a clear path to appeal or resolve the issue

We reserve the right to terminate accounts for clear, repeated, or serious violations of these Terms. We will not terminate accounts silently or without explanation.

10. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of original content you upload. By uploading, you grant Outlaw Studio a limited license to process that content to provide the Service. Designs generated through our AI tool are provided for your use subject to these Terms. You are responsible for verifying generated designs do not infringe third-party rights before commercial use.

The Outlaw Studio name, logo, Outlaw-O-Meter™, and all platform software and design are property of Outlaw Studio and may not be used without written permission.

11. Catalog Licensing Program

Outlaw Studio maintains a catalog of original designs that account holders may license for sale through their own connected storefronts at no additional licensing cost beyond their subscription tier. Licensed designs:

  • Remain the property of Outlaw Studio; licensing grants a right to sell, not ownership of the underlying design
  • Are subject to a capped number of concurrent sellers per design to limit market saturation; cap counts and availability may change without affecting licenses already active at the time of a change
  • May be removed from the catalog at our discretion, in which case existing active listings may continue to be sold through their original term but the design will no longer be available for new licenses
  • Are subject to the same flat-fee and pricing structure described elsewhere in these Terms

We will notify license holders directly if a design they've licensed is removed from active circulation.

12. Third-Party Marketplace Integrations

Connections to platforms like Etsy and eBay are governed by those platforms' own terms of service. Outlaw Studio is not responsible for the decisions, policies, or enforcement actions of any third-party marketplace. If a marketplace changes its policies or takes action against your listings, we will communicate with you clearly and help where we can.

13. Notice and Takedown Procedure (DMCA)

Outlaw Studio respects the intellectual property rights of others and responds to valid notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

If you believe content hosted on Outlaw Studio infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at outlawstudio1@gmail.com including:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or authorized representative
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
  • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it
  • Your contact information
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder

Upon receiving a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the identified content and notify the user who submitted it. Users who believe their content was removed in error may submit a counter-notice, and we will follow applicable legal procedure before restoring or permanently removing the content. We will terminate accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Outlaw Studio harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or legal fees arising from designs you create, list, sell, or fulfill through the Service, including claims that a design infringes a third party's intellectual property rights. This applies regardless of any Outlaw-O-Meter score the design received, since that score is informational and not a guarantee of legal clearance.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Outlaw Studio shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service, including marketplace account actions, loss of revenue, or IP claims. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation. What we do commit to is communicating clearly when things go wrong and working to fix them.

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms. We will notify you of material changes with reasonable advance notice before they take effect. Continued use after changes are effective constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with a change, you may cancel your account before it takes effect.

18. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Disputes shall be resolved in courts of competent jurisdiction in Florida.
