By uploading Your Idea, you are affirming that you understand and agree to the following terms and conditions, which serve as a contract between you and Route 52. 2. We agree to keep agreeing The term of this agreement starts on the date that your submitted shirt design concept (“Your Idea”) is initially uploaded to any Route 52 website(s) and continues until either you or Route 52 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 will be turned into a design and printed. 3. Your work is your own You MAY NOT submit a design that contains ideas or material that you do not have the legal right to use, including copyrighted images and other people’s designs. You agree to bear full liability should you submit an Idea that is not yours and it gets printed, including financial responsibility for any costs incurred protecting Route 52 as a result of your actions. These may include printing fees, Route 52’s legal fees, advertising costs, etc. All rights and title to Your Idea not expressly granted to Route 52 hereunder are reserved by you, the Idea Submitter. 4. Your Design is fresh When you submit an Idea to Route 52 we require that Your Idea not be in the current running of any other apparel contest websites and not currently being sold anywhere else on apparel. If two “similar” Ideas are submitted, the first one uploaded to the Route 52 Idea Submission website shall be deemed to be the original Idea for purposes of consideration from Route 52. The determination of whether two Ideas are similar shall solely be made at the discretion of Route 52. Subsequent “similar” submissions shall not be eligible for consideration for remuneration. 5. We will look at Your Design After submitting Your Idea, it will be reviewed. We reserve the right to reject any Idea if we suspect any of our contest rules are being broken. Route 52 reserves the right to reject any submission that it deems in its sole discretion to be offensive or inappropriate. If Your Idea 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 Design is awesome we may use it Your Idea will be eligible for consideration for sixty (60) days from the day you submit it to us. If Your Idea is not selected within 60 days, you retain the rights to the concept and are welcome to then submit it to other locations or design and print it yourself.

By choosing Your Idea, Route 52 makes no guarantee of any volume of sales nor does it constitute a promise that Your Idea will, in fact, be sold.

After Your Idea has been selected for printing you may not use nor allow third parties to use Your Idea for sale on apparel or garments for a period of 365 days from the last date of sale by Route 52. Once the 60 days have passed, if Your Idea is not chosen for print by Route 52, you are free to use Your Idea for any commercial or non-commercial purpose. However if Your Idea is used elsewhere, you must notify Route 52 by an email to admin@Route 52.com listing where and when Your Idea will be used, so that it can be removed from the Route 52 website and future consideration.
