It sits alongside our <a href=\"/dmca/\">DMCA</a> page, which sets out the formal procedure for copyright notices under United States law. Questions and reports go to <a href=\"mailto:support@nestmade.shop\">support@nestmade.shop</a> with the subject &#8220;IP report&#8221;; we reply within 24 hours on business days.</p>\n<section class=\"policy-summary\">\n<h2>Intellectual property at a glance</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Our content:</strong> the Nest Made name and logo, site design, page text, product designs and original images belong to Nest Made or are used with permission.</li>\n<li><strong>Personal sharing:</strong> photos of your own Nest Made pieces at home are welcome.</li>\n<li><strong>Commercial use of our content:</strong> needs our written permission.</li>\n<li><strong>Other people&#8217;s brands:</strong> we do not accept personalization using other companies&#8217; trademarks, characters or artwork.</li>\n<li><strong>Reports:</strong> email support@nestmade.shop, subject &#8220;IP report&#8221;; copyright notices follow the DMCA page.</li>\n<li><strong>Review:</strong> we acknowledge reports within 24 hours on business days and act promptly on complete reports.</li>\n</ul>\n</section>\n<h2>1. What belongs to Nest Made</h2>\n<p>Unless stated otherwise, the following are owned by Nest Made or used by us under licence:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the name &#8220;Nest Made&#8221; and our logo, a small egg resting in a nest under the wordmark;</li>\n<li>the design and layout of nestmade.shop, including colours, page structure and graphics such as our cloud illustrations;</li>\n<li>all text on the website, including product descriptions, category guides, help pages and policies;</li>\n<li>our product designs, including sign shapes, layouts and the arrangement of names and details on our pieces;</li>\n<li>original photographs and illustrations of our products and nursery scenes.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Fonts used in our designs and on the website remain the property of their designers and are used under their licences.</p>\n<h2>2. How you may use our content</h2>\n<h3>Welcome uses</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sharing a link to a nestmade.shop page with friends or family.</li>\n<li>Posting photos of your own Nest Made sign, blanket or keepsake in your home, on your own social media or in a baby book.</li>\n<li>Quoting a sentence or two from a help page when recommending us, with a link back to the page.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Uses that need written permission</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Copying our page text, product descriptions or policies onto another website or shop.</li>\n<li>Using our product photos, illustrations or logo on another website, marketplace listing or advertisement.</li>\n<li>Reproducing our product designs for sale, whether as physical items or digital files.</li>\n<li>Using the name &#8220;Nest Made&#8221; or our logo in a way that suggests a connection with us or an endorsement by us.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To ask for permission, email <a href=\"mailto:support@nestmade.shop\">support@nestmade.shop</a> with a description of what you would like to use and how. We reply within 24 hours on business days. Permission is only valid if given in writing by us.</p>\n<h2>3. Respecting other people&#8217;s rights</h2>\n<p>We aim to sell only designs and use only content that we have created or have the right to use. In practice this means:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>our designs are created for Nest Made rather than copied from other shops;</li>\n<li>fonts and any licensed artwork are used within the terms of their licences;</li>\n<li>we do not use photos from other shops, marketplaces or social media accounts on our product pages;</li>\n<li>we do not offer products featuring other companies&#8217; logos, cartoon characters, sports team marks or celebrity likenesses.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If we get something wrong, we want to know about it and put it right quickly. Section 5 explains how to report a concern.</p>\n<h2>4. Personalization requests and other brands</h2>\n<p>Our pieces are personalized with names, dates and short lines that customers write in the Order notes box at checkout. Sometimes a request includes something we cannot make, for example a cartoon character&#8217;s name styled like its film logo, a sports team crest or a brand slogan. We decline those requests because they would use another owner&#8217;s trademark or copyright without permission. If we cannot make a request, we email the customer to suggest an alternative or refund that item in full. A baby&#8217;s name that happens to match a brand or character name is, of course, simply a name, and we prepare it in our own lettering like any other.</p>\n<p>Customers confirm in our <a href=\"/terms-of-service/\">Terms of Service</a> that they have the right to use any photo or text they send us. Photos sent for personalization are used only for that order and deleted 30 days after delivery.</p>\n<h2>5. How to report an intellectual property concern</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>Which route to use for your concern</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Type of concern</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Route</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Subject line</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright (photos, illustrations, text, designs)</td>\n<td>Formal notice as described on our DMCA page</td>\n<td>DMCA notice</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Trademark (names, logos, slogans used as brands)</td>\n<td>Email report with the details in section 6</td>\n<td>IP report: trademark</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Design rights or other rights</td>\n<td>Email report with the details in section 6</td>\n<td>IP report: design</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Someone else using Nest Made content</td>\n<td>Email us with links so we can follow up</td>\n<td>Nest Made content found elsewhere</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>General question</td>\n<td>Email us informally</td>\n<td>IP question</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>6. What to include in a trademark or design report</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Your name, the name of the rights owner if different, and your contact details (email and postal address).</li>\n<li>A description of the right: for a trademark, the mark, the goods or services it covers and, if registered, the registration number and country; for a design, a description and where it was first published.</li>\n<li>The exact URL of each page on nestmade.shop where you believe the right is being infringed, and which element you mean.</li>\n<li>A short explanation of why you believe the use infringes the right.</li>\n<li>A statement that the information in your report is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorised to act for them.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Send your report to <a href=\"mailto:support@nestmade.shop\">support@nestmade.shop</a>, or by post to Nest Made, 5166 Onacrest Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90043, US.</p>\n<h2>7. What we do with a report</h2>\n<p>We acknowledge every report within 24 hours on business days. We then review it against our records, for example the origin of a design, our licences and when content was created. Where a report is complete and shows a likely infringement, we remove the content or stop offering the product promptly. Where a report is unclear, we ask for the missing information. Where we believe our use is lawful, for example because the content is our own original work or properly licensed, we explain that and, where appropriate, share supporting information. We keep a record of reports and our actions.</p>\n<p>If a product is withdrawn because of a report, customers with open orders for it are contacted and offered an alternative or a full refund. Customers who already received the product are not asked to return it because of the report.</p>\n<h2>8. If you find Nest Made content used elsewhere</h2>\n<p>Thank you for telling us. Send us the link and, if possible, a screenshot. Other shops copying our descriptions or photos can confuse customers into thinking they are buying from us. Please note that Nest Made sells only through nestmade.shop; we do not sell through marketplaces or social media shops. If you have bought something elsewhere believing it was from Nest Made, email us and we will tell you whether it was.</p>\n<h2>9. Domain names and impersonation</h2>\n<p>Our only website is nestmade.shop, and our only support email address is support@nestmade.shop. If you receive an email, message or advertisement claiming to be from Nest Made that uses a different address or website, please do not enter payment details. Forward it to us so we can investigate and warn other customers.</p>\n<h2>10. Good-faith reporting</h2>\n<p>We ask that reports are made honestly and only where there is a genuine concern. Reports that are knowingly false can cause real harm to small businesses and may create legal liability for the person who sends them. If you are unsure whether a use infringes your rights, an informal question is always welcome before a formal report.</p>\n<h2>11. Examples to make this practical</h2>\n<h3>A parent shares a nursery photo</h3>\n<p>A parent posts a photo of the finished nursery, with our round name sign above the crib, on their personal account and tags the room &#8220;nursery reveal&#8221;. That is a welcome personal use. No permission is needed, and we will not repost it without asking.</p>\n<h3>A blogger reviews baby gifts</h3>\n<p>A parenting blogger wants to include one of our product photos in a gift guide with a link to our shop. Because the photo is our content, the blogger emails us first; we reply with permission in writing and ask that the image links back to the product page. A one-sentence quote from our description with a link needs no permission.</p>\n<h3>Another shop copies a product description</h3>\n<p>A customer spots our knit blanket description, word for word, on another shop&#8217;s listing and sends us the link. We thank them, record the details and contact the other shop to ask that the copied text is removed. Our customers know that Nest Made only sells through nestmade.shop.</p>\n<h3>A personalization request uses a character name</h3>\n<p>A customer asks for a blanket with a cartoon character&#8217;s name in that film&#8217;s logo style. We email to explain that we cannot reproduce the logo style, and offer to set the baby&#8217;s chosen name in one of our own lettering styles instead, or to refund that item in full.</p>\n<h2>12. Licences we rely on</h2>\n<p>Some elements of our work are used under licence, mainly typefaces and any decorative elements we do not draw ourselves. We keep records of the licences that apply and check that new designs stay within their terms, for example whether a font licence covers use on physical products. If you are a licensor and have a question about how your work is used by Nest Made, we will answer it openly.</p>\n<h2>13. Names are not owned by anyone</h2>\n<p>People sometimes ask whether a baby&#8217;s name can belong to someone. Ordinary first and middle names cannot be owned, and we will happily prepare any name you choose, spelled exactly as you write it in the order notes. What we avoid is copying the distinctive way a brand presents a name, such as a film title logo, a team wordmark or a trademarked slogan. Our lettering is our own or licensed for our use, so the same name in our design does not borrow anyone else&#8217;s identity.</p>\n<h2>14. Changes to this policy</h2>\n<p>We may update this policy when our products, our website or the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.</p>\n<h2>15.
