Legal & content policy

Who we are

deadlock.clothing is an independent marketplace where independent artists sell their own fan-created work. We are not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by Valve Corporation. Deadlock and the Deadlock logo are trademarks of Valve Corporation.

Content rules for sellers

• Only your own original artwork. No traced, copied, or AI-regurgitated versions of other artists' work.
• No use of Valve's own assets: no game logos, no ripped models, textures, icons, fonts, or screenshots.
• No items presented as "official" merchandise.
• Listings that break these rules are removed and repeat offenders lose their shop.

Takedown requests (DMCA)

If you believe a listing infringes your rights, email takedown@deadlock.clothing with the listing URL, identification of the work you claim is infringed, and your contact details. We review every notice promptly, remove content where appropriate, and forward notices to the affected seller. Rights holders' requests are honored without argument.

Payments & privacy

• Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store card numbers.
• We store only what the shop needs to run: your email, orders, and shipping address, shared with the artists fulfilling your order.
• No analytics trackers, no ad pixels, no selling of data. Mailing list emails are used for drop announcements only.
