ANGEL POLICY

We are delighted with your enthusiasm for our products! To ensure that we protect all parties from the misuse of images, we have established an Angel Policy for you to adhere to when using our copyrighted designs. This policy protects the craft industry by ensuring that crafters who want to sell their handmade products can. It also protects our brands, ensuring that they can continue to provide a wide range of innovation.

West Design Products' images and the licensed brands which we supply are copyrighted. This means that they may not be copied without permission. To help protect the rights granted by these copyrights, each handcrafted item created for sale must be personally and individually made by the selling artist and may not be reproduced or copied by any means - including graphic, digital, electronic, mechanical or photocopying.

Mass production, assembly-line construction and production by workers for hire is strictly prohibited.

Handmade or digitally created projects may be sold at permanent retail locations, as well as temporary craft events, community fundraisers and over the internet (excluding auction sites.) In selling handmade or digitally created projects, the seller must make it clear that the items are handmade or personally created by the seller and not a product of the company.

West Design Products images and the licensed brands which we supply may not be used for the purpose of creating logos, clip art, digital artwork and blog banners or company trademarks.

Separate terms apply, as listed below, for all Licensed Collections. Please read this documentation in full in order to respect variations in the policy per licence.

You are limited to making a total of 500 cards or craft projects per year to sell for profit (and additionally 200 cards/craft items per docrafts Digital Designer™ disc sets).

There is NO LIMIT to handmade items sold for charity, so long as they abide by the restrictions as stated in this policy.

Participants in this Angel Policy assume all liability for suitability of their work.
