Mug Submission Terms

You share a photo of your mug. We display it on the Mug Wall and may feature it in the newsletter. Your mug (or a cartoon version inspired by it) might appear in a future Haidiho strip. You keep ownership of your photo. You get credit. The strip artwork, if we make one, belongs to Haidiho.

A photo of a real mug you own, plus optional details (your name, what's on the mug, a short story). Community sharing only — not a product listing or merch order.

Your photograph is yours. You can use it anywhere else. Submitting to Haidiho does not transfer ownership of your photo to us.

By submitting a mug photo you confirm you own the rights to that image (or have permission from the rights holder) and grant Haidiho an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to:

• Display your photo on the Mug Wall and elsewhere on haidiho.com
• Feature your mug in the weekly newsletter (e.g. Mug of the Week)
• Use your mug, its appearance, text, or story as inspiration for Hai and DiHo cartoon strips and related Haidiho creative works
• Create derivative works including cartoon depictions of your mug, characters holding similar mugs, and other formats tied to the Haidiho brand

Any cartoon strip or artwork created from your mug submission is owned entirely by Haidiho, including all characters, dialogue, and creative elements in that work — the same as other Haidiho original strips.

When we feature your mug we use the name and details you provide unless you ask to stay anonymous. If your mug inspires a strip, we credit you by your chosen name when possible. Credit is our standard practice but does not constitute financial compensation.

By submitting you confirm that:

• The photo is yours to share, or you have permission to share it
• The image does not violate anyone else's privacy or rights
• It does not show confidential or proprietary information you are not allowed to publish
• You are at least 18 or have permission from a parent or guardian

Mug submissions are not paid. Being on the wall, in the newsletter, or inspiring a strip is the exchange. If that ever changes we will say so clearly to the community.

We review submissions before they go live. We may decline or remove a mug for any reason. Submitting does not guarantee approval or future strip use.

Your use of Haidiho is also governed by our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
