Questions
Everything worth asking before you claim something permanent.
IP Ownership & Merch Store
How does buying a shirt give you IP ownership of a custom merch store?
Every 1-of-1 genesis shirt includes a complete commercial copyright assignment. Once claimed, our platform automatically provisions your dedicated storefront at /creator/yourhandle with mockups and automated on-demand fulfillment, allowing you to launch a custom merch brand with zero upfront inventory.
What is the difference between standard Print-on-Demand and an IP-owned custom merch store?
Standard print-on-demand platforms keep you as a generic reseller. With Shirt Bazaar, you own 100% exclusive commercial rights to the underlying 1-of-1 design, receive a turnkey automated storefront, and earn continuous profits without inventory or manufacturing hassle.
Can I legally sell merchandise if I own the commercial IP rights to a design?
Yes. Claiming a design assigns full commercial reproduction and merchandising rights to you. You can sell through your automated Bazaar storefront, license the artwork, or produce physical runs with no platform royalty clawbacks.
How fast can I launch an automated merch store after claiming a design?
Under 60 seconds. As soon as your order completes, your custom storefront is live, pre-populated with your design, and ready to process customer orders with automated fulfillment.
What is a turnkey merchandise brand starter pack?
It is an all-in-one package that bundles a premium physical garment, full commercial intellectual property ownership, and a fully hosted e-commerce storefront with zero-inventory dropshipping.
Claiming
What does 1-of-1 actually mean?
A design can be claimed exactly once. After that it belongs to one person — no reprints, no second edition, no identical shirt on anyone else.
Who can claim a design I generate?
Anyone. Generated designs land in the bazaar unclaimed, including the ones you made — so if you want one, claim it. That's also why there's always something here to take.
What do I get when I claim one?
Exclusive ownership of the design, a storefront of your own at /creator/yourhandle to show it off, and 10% of every resale of that design after yours.
Can a claim be undone?
No. A claim is permanent and a design gets exactly one, forever. That permanence is the whole product — an unwindable claim would make every other claim worth less.
What happens to the designs nobody claims?
They stay in the bazaar, unclaimed and claimable, until somebody takes them. Nothing expires and nothing is withdrawn.
Making designs
How many designs can I generate?
5 a day per account. One generation, one design — if it isn't what you wanted, generating again costs one of the 5. Generation costs real money to run, so the cap keeps it open to everyone without a queue.
Why does my design have a background?
Because we no longer take it off without being asked. Background removal isolates a subject, so on a design with a title or a border it would delete everything that wasn't the main figure — and the original was gone. Now the artwork arrives exactly as it was drawn, and "Remove background" is a button on it in My designs. If the cut comes out wrong, restore the original in one click.
Do I have to list what I generate?
No. A design you generate is private until you list it. Listing is what puts it in the bazaar and sets its price; until then only you can see it.
Who owns a design I made but nobody claimed?
You are its maker and stay credited as such. Ownership transfers on claim — and you can claim your own design like anybody else.
Why does the style picker change what the form asks?
Because the styles genuinely differ. Picture styles draw a subject and ban letterforms outright; word styles make your exact text the artwork; poster styles want a title and a line. The form only asks for what the style can actually use.
Shirts and orders
How is my shirt made?
Print on demand — nothing exists until you order it, then it's printed and shipped by our fulfilment partner. That's also why orders can't be cancelled once production starts.
Something arrived wrong. What now?
Email support within 14 days of delivery with photos and we'll arrange a reprint or refund at no cost to you. Damage, defects, wrong design and print errors are all covered.
Can I return a shirt because I changed my mind?
No. Every shirt is made specifically for you after you order, so preference returns — size, placement, second thoughts about the design — aren't eligible once production has begun.
Money
How does the 10% resale royalty work?
If you claim a design and it later resells, you earn 10% of that sale — automatically, for as long as the design keeps changing hands. Your taste keeps working after the sale.
When do royalties get paid out?
Payouts aren't live yet. Royalties are published and tracked against every claim, and the payout path is the next thing being built — we'd rather say that plainly than quote you a date.
