Thank you! I'm going to try and post the fine print again, here goes nuthin!

(THE FINE PRINT)
* Formerly “Evil Giant Robot Island”.
** “We Will Not Destroy You” is a trademarked slogan and may or may not represent an individual robot’s will, or the will of Mechaslavia, to destroy you.

Paid for by the Mechaslavian Tourism and Treacherous Ambush Department.

No humans were harmed in the making of this ad. We just found them that way. Swear. We did harm that bunny though. We harmed it like nobody’s freakin’ business

THIS ACTUALLY THE LOGO FOR MY COMPANY, AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD APPLY. I WAS UP BRAINSTORMING LAST NIGHT AT LIKE 3AM LOOKING THROUGH THE SHIRTS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT KIND OF HIT ME. THEN I POSTED IT.

WHETHER THIS WINS OR NOT, THIS SHIRT WILL BE FOR SALE ON MY NEW WEBSITE THAT IS LAUNCHING ON JUNE 15TH. OUR LATEST PROJECT IS CALLED "LET THEM PUMP GAS." THE PLACEHOLDER PAGE IS UP NOW AT WWW.LETTHEMPUMPGAS.COM... PARDON THE FALSE LAUNCH DATE... WE HAD TO PUSH BACK A FEW DAYS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT.

Problem is, now woot has the rights to that shirt for 60 days. It cannot legally be printed elsewhere until after that time.

EDIT: And that's assuming it's valid to begin with. I'm not sure that it is. This sort of thing goes over my head with legal jargon.

You can read more about that by checking out the terms and conditions you agreed to on the entry submission page.

Notably:

Derby Terms and Conditions wrote:1. Consideration of Artwork. Artist grants Woot a 60-day exclusive right to review and consider the Artwork. During this 60-day period, Artist shall not use the Artwork in any manner or submit the Artwork to anyone else to be used in any manner. All materials sent to Woot will be treated as non-proprietary and non-confidential. Because Woot receives many submissions, Woot cannot be held liable if it reproduces or commissions artwork similar to yours but which has come from another source.

2. Extension of Consideration Period for Best of Derby. If Woot nominates the Artwork for participation in a Best of Derby through (i) email notification to Artist; or (ii) naming the Artwork an Honorable Mention entry in a published blog post, and Artist consents to such participation, Artist grants Woot a 180-day exclusive right to review and consider the Artwork. During this 180-day period, Artist shall not use the Artwork in any manner or submit the Artwork to anyone else to be used in any manner. Artist may accept or decline participation by sending notice to shirt@woot.com within ten (10) business days of Woot’s email notification of nomination or publication of the Honorable Mention blog post naming the Artwork as an Honorable Mention. Artist grants Woot Artist’s consent to participate in the Best of Derby for which the Artwork is nominated if Artist does not provide notice to Woot within ten (10) business days that Artist declines participation.

Good thing it's not getting printed at this point (unless, for some crazy reason it gets an HM for a chance in a Do-Over Derby) because then if it were to win, woot wouldn't allow the site to print the shirt... EVER.

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

Awesome shirt... wish it was submitted earlier so it stood a chance!

IM SORRY... THAT INFO WAS MEANT FOR ANOTHER POST... PLEASE DISREGARD ANYTHING THAT WAS SAID IN THIS POST ABOUT THIS SHIRT FROM ME...

I WROTE THAT STUFF IN ANOTHER POST FOR MY DESIGN AND IT SHOWED UP HERE SOMEHOW. IM SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION GUYS. AND WHY IT POSTED TWICE? NO CLUE.

MUCH RESPECT TO THIS TSHIRT DESIGNER, AND I AM TOTALLY BUYING ONE IF IT WINS.

The best part of having two mods jump into this thread re: legality is that a completely different poster posted the shouty bits

Hey, this is the actual designer I didn't know about this site until yesterday, next time I'll definitely post my entry earlier! Thanks and I'm glad you like it!

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

You have no idea how badly I want this shirt to win. It beats every design in the fog with a baseball bat made of lead.
xD
Even if it doesn't win, I will gladly wait the 60 days in order to purchase it at another site.

Okay, well, I apologize to the designer of *this* design that it's in your thread, but still, for you, mrmatt, the 60 day rule applies and the design cannot be posted anywhere for those 60 days.

Xzanthis wrote:Hey, thanks for the info, I totally read the legal stuff

I'm sorry this ended up in your shirt's thread. Someone posted in the wrong place so just ignore it if you can.

Xzanthis wrote:Hey, this is the actual designer I didn't know about this site until yesterday, next time I'll definitely post my entry earlier! Thanks and I'm glad you like it!

or you could always submit as a daily. that way you can have rights back to it if you choose.

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

Hahaha, this is amazing. I adore the fine print. Hurry and get it up there before it's too late!

Xzanthis wrote:Hey, this is the actual designer I didn't know about this site until yesterday, next time I'll definitely post my entry earlier! Thanks and I'm glad you like it!

i liked it a lot more when it had fewer votes than i did. seriously, great design and best of luck!

Awesome, I'll look into that. One way or another I just really want this to be a shirt I can wear!

*giggles*, sorry, didn't mean to upset the apple cart. Or the Griffin cart as it were. I really adore the artwork on your design, very regal.

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

Love the fine print. Just wondering how well it would print.
Xz - I really enjoy your sense of humor - hope to see more designs from you!
And thanks for doing this on RED!!

it's all good.

This is a very good design, and the text at the bottom is actually pretty funny, unlike the slew of stupid puns we normally see on woot shirts.

you rock... if this is kind of stuff we are being treated to from you and you just found out about this site I can wait to see what you cook up in the coming weeks. keep up the good work!

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

holy cow this is a funny shirt. I LOVE it. right up my alley sense of humor wise. the fine print slays me. especially the bit about the bunnies. I would totally wear this shirt, fine print and all, even though it would mean people leering at my chest and going in really close to read it. :P

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

Ovaltina, my goat that is awesome. The fine print totally sells it. In for 3!

I thought about the whole bosom staring problem when I was making it but I couldn't think of any other place to put the fine print... maybe all the way at the bottom, I'm not sure if that would be more awkward or less. Thank you so much! I'm glad everyone likes it as much as I do. If it doesn't end up getting posted I'm definitely putting up a storefront for it elsewhere in 60 days. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for you votes!

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

This is by far the BEST shirt in the derby... i just wish I could vote more than once. Great job!

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

Coll shirt for sure

it still totally rocks. I want this shirt in the worst way. so keep us posted, or submit it for a daily or something. there have really been awesome shirts this derby. i am sure if this had been submitted earlier, it would have made it into the fog. it fits the theme perfectly. the fine print sells it completely. its like Issac Asimov meets Terry Prachett. which equal pure genius in my book. (hee no pun intended) n_n

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

very cool

This was by far the best entry this week. In fact it was the only time I actually logged in to vote in many many months. It's a shame it wasn't submitted sooner, I'm sure it would have taken first.

Excellent work on the design. Be sure to resubmit it next time it fits a derby theme - I want one!
