i think you have to wait 90 days ....



good question

yeah, 90 days after voting ends the rights return to you and you can do what you like with it.

I thought this was a blog about all the losers like me who spend way too much time on threadless.

All design that are submitted are then promptly printed.

so, if any of you guys have any designs that are of no use to you, and for some reason or other got rejected, please do let me know? I am open to ideas... ;)



Cactus Pirate Jr., you got that right, but I am not sure where else to post this, so I figured it won't hurt to place it here...



Thanks to the rest for the swift replies!!! Anyone has a definite answer, tho?

If the design was rejected and never made it into the actual voting process... you can do whatever you want with it.



If it made it to voting I believe it is 90 days before the design is released and I believe you have to email Threadless and let them know. It is under there "FAQ" section.

and ...The time has come to update the submission terms. Everything is staying the same, but we had to add some legal jargon about selling your design to another company if we do not print it.



Read this over and let us know your thoughts:

The participant will keep ownership of the submitted design. The participant may display or archive the design in a portfolio or personal collection, but may not sell or reproduce the design for commercial purposes for three (3) months after the design has completed scoring. In addition, during this period, the participant cannot submit the design to another company to be potentially produced. Once this time frame has passed, the participant is free to use the design for commercial purposes, however the participant must email Threadless to notify where and when it will be produced so that it can be removed from the Threadless.com website. Also, if the design is printed elsewhere, the participant cannot use the Threadless blogs to promote the product or another company.

Ok, got that. Thanks a lot melhel86, that's very helpful/ enlightening. Really appreciate it. :)

It's a bit weird that you have to wait 90days. If they don't want to print it, it's obvious they have no interest in the design.

it can take them that long to decide if they want to print it though. i don't have any problem with it.

Does anyone really wait 90 days?

don't wait

maybe within a month or less

otherwise email them you want to use it for something else if within 90 days. They'll be nice enough to take it out and let you do whatever
