Read on to learn more.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why the limit?<\/h2>\n<p>Our design review team is hard at work examining thousands and thousands of designs each day. A small handful of Partners are responsible for most of the uploads, commanding the attention of the entire review team. As a result, other Partners are waiting days before their new design-uploads can be cleared.<\/p>\n<p>More info regarding the limit can be found in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/09\/new-limit-design-uploads\/\">blog post<\/a> from October.<\/p>\n<h2>Design limit<\/h2>\n<p>To speed up the design review process, we will implement a limit on the number of daily design uploads:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50 designs max. per day<\/li>\n<li>Partners reaching the 50 daily design limit will be notified in the upload section and will have to wait until the next day to upload more designs.<\/li>\n<li>Beginning 01.02.2018<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Restricting third-party designs<\/h2>\n<p>Spreadshirt will also be rejecting designs that come from third-party platforms, including<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pixabay<\/li>\n<li>Freepik<\/li>\n<li>PngTree<\/li>\n<li>Openclipart<\/li>\n<li>Wikimedia<\/li>\n<li>AdobeStock<\/li>\n<li>Fotolia<\/li>\n<li>Shutterstock<\/li>\n<li>123rf<\/li>\n<li>Colourbox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These designs will only be allowed if they\u2019ve been reworked prior to uploading, interpreted differently, and if Partner have valid proof that they can use the design. Spreadshirt will also reject any designs that have purely been downloaded from another source.<\/p>\n<p>What would also be considered as an insufficient design?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An original, unaltered image<\/li>\n<li>A minor color change<\/li>\n<li>A minor transformation (including mirroring or rotation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What this means for you<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about your fellow users utilizing multiple accounts, we\u2019re on it. We\u2019ll be banning these accounts if they\u2019re found to be violating or circumventing the rules. Of course, we will notify and warn these individuals before taking this drastic step.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to these various restrictions, you should find that designs make it to the Marketplace significantly quicker. This new verification process should ultimately help those Partners who are only uploading a handful of designs each day.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments below. We\u2019ll get back to you asap.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve heard your feedback.
