\nThis Intellectual Property Policy explains what belongs to Blanket Loft on blanketloft.com, what you may and may not do with it, what we will and will not print on a personalized blanket, and how to tell us about a trademark, design, publicity or other intellectual property concern. Copyright notices have their own step-by-step process on our DMCA page; everything else starts here.
\nUnless stated otherwise, the following are owned by Blanket Loft or used under license, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws in the United States and internationally:
\nBuying a blanket gives you ownership of that physical blanket. It does not transfer any rights in the design, so you may not reproduce the design on other products or sell copies of it.
\nPersonalized blankets mean customers send us their own words and pictures. To respect other people’s rights, we apply these rules to every order:
\n| Type of content | \nDo we print it? | \nNotes | \n
|---|---|---|
| Names, nicknames, dates, places, short personal messages | \nYes | \nPrinted exactly as entered | \n
| Your own photos of family, friends and pets | \nYes | \nYou must have permission from identifiable adults shown | \n
| Professional photos you commissioned | \nYes, with the photographer’s print release | \nWe may ask you to confirm the release | \n
| Commissioned digital portraits | \nYes, if the artist allows printing on products | \nWe may ask you to confirm | \n
| Sports team names and logos, brand logos, school crests | \nNo | \nUnless you hold a license that covers this use and can show it | \n
| Cartoon, film, TV, game or book characters | \nNo | \nIncluding drawings “in the style of” a specific character | \n
| Photos or likenesses of celebrities or public figures | \nNo | \nTheir image is protected by publicity rights | \n
| Images found online or from stock libraries | \nNo | \nUnless you have a license that allows printing on products | \n
| Song lyrics and full poems still in copyright | \nNo | \nShort phrases and public-domain lines are fine | \n
| Hateful, harassing or sexually explicit content | \nNo | \nNot an IP issue, but we decline it under our Terms | \n
If an order includes content we cannot print, we contact you before production and offer to change it. If you prefer, we cancel the order and refund it in full, as described in our Cancel or Change an Order page.
\n“Blanket Loft” and our logo are our trademarks. You may use the name to refer to us accurately, for example in a review or an article, but not as part of your own brand, product name or domain, and not in a way that suggests we sponsor or endorse you. Other names, brands and marks mentioned on the site, such as carrier or payment provider names, belong to their owners; mentioning them does not mean they endorse Blanket Loft.
\nOur designs are created for Blanket Loft or licensed for use on our products. We do not knowingly sell items that infringe anyone’s trademark, copyright, design right or right of publicity. When a design is added to the store, we check it against these rules, and if we learn that a design may infringe someone’s rights, we review it promptly and remove it from sale while we investigate where appropriate.
\nEmail support@blanketloft.com with the subject “IP concern” and include:
\nFor copyright, please follow the specific steps on our DMCA page, because the law requires particular statements in a copyright notice.
\nWe acknowledge your report within 1 business day and review it within 5 business days. If we need more information, we ask before deciding. If the concern is valid, we remove the product or content, stop making the design, and confirm this to you in writing. If we disagree, we explain why. If a customer’s personalized order is affected, we contact the customer as well, without sharing your personal details beyond what is necessary.
\nWhen you send us a photo, a drawing your child made, or a family story to set into a design, you keep all rights in it. We do not claim ownership of anything you upload. You give us permission to use it only to make, check and deliver your blanket and to handle any return or reprint, and we delete it on the schedule set out in our Privacy Policy. A blanket made from your child’s drawing is your family’s design, not ours, and we will never sell it to anyone else.
\nNo. Team names, crests and logos are trademarks owned by the team or its league. Instead, we can make a name blanket in the team’s colors with a generic ball, number or pattern, which carries no one else’s mark.
\nNo. Even a hand-drawn version of a well-known character is a copy of that character. Our own illustrated animals are drawn for Blanket Loft and can be personalized in the same way.
\nUsually yes. Most wedding photographers provide a print release for personal use; if yours does, the photo can be printed on a blanket for you. If the photographer has not given a print release, ask them first. Many will say yes straight away.
\nYes, if the family is happy for it to be reproduced. Send us a clear photo of the quilt and we will tell you whether it can be printed or woven faithfully.
\nWe will not copy another shop’s design, because that design belongs to them. Tell us what you liked about it, for example the colors, a layout with names in a circle or a cozy cabin theme, and we will suggest one of our own designs with the same feel, or a simple custom arrangement of your names and photos.
\nYou may resell a blanket you own as a second-hand item. You may not offer our designs as your own product, take orders for them, or reproduce them, and you may not use our product photos in your listing without permission.
\nIf you see a website, marketplace listing or social media account using the Blanket Loft name or logo, selling our designs, or using our product photos, it is not connected with us unless it links back to blanketloft.com. Please send us the link. If you bought something from a site you thought was ours and the order never arrived, check whether the order confirmation came from an @blanketloft.com address; if not, contact your bank or payment provider, and let us know so we can report the site.
\nCustomers often suggest design ideas, such as a new layout for twin names or a pattern for a favorite hobby. We are grateful for them. If you send us an idea, we may use it without owing you payment, but we will never publish your name, photos or personal story without your permission. If you are a professional designer offering artwork for licensing, please say so in your first message so we treat it as a business proposal rather than a suggestion.
\nIf you would like to use our photos, text or designs, for example in a gift guide or a news article, email us explaining what you would like to use and where. We usually say yes to editorial uses with a link and credit, and we reply within 1 business day.
\nFor any question about this policy, email support@blanketloft.com or write to Blanket Loft, 1806 E. Sequoia Trail, Sioux Falls, SD 57103, United States. See also our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
