Angel Policy

Ellison Educational Equipment, Inc. (collectively “we” “us” “our” “Sizzix” or “Ellison”) welcome artists who would like to use Sizzix die design images in their own handmade craftwork that they produce to sell. Therefore, we give permission in the form of a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable license to use any Sizzix die design images from dies that you own for the purpose of creating craftworks for sale, under the following criteria:

1. Each craftwork created for sale must be personally and individually handmade by the selling artist and may not be reproduced, copied, imitated, or materially altered in any form by any means, graphic, electronic, digital or mechanical, including photocopying. Mass production, assembly-line construction, production by workers for hire, or syndication of handmade craftwork for sale is strictly prohibited.


2. All of Sizzix brand die design images are proprietary and/or copyrighted by their respective owners, which means that they may not be copied without permission. To help protect these proprietary rights granted herein, all craftwork created for sale using Sizzix die design images must be attributed to the respective proprietary rights and/or copyright owner by marking each craftwork with the same copyright notice found on the label of the Sizzix die (or on its packaging) used to produce the die design image.


3. There are no quantity limits for the sale of handmade craftworks that abide by the restrictions as stated in this policy.


4. Completed, handmade projects may be sold at competitive and non-competitive retail locations, temporary craft events, community fundraisers, and over the Internet. In selling handmade craftworks, the seller must make it clear that the items are handmade and not a product of or associated with us. The seller may indicate the supplies used are from Sizzix products, but the Sizzix logo may not be used in any way for the sole purpose of promoting the sale of handmade craftworks.


5. You may not use Sizzix die design images for the purpose of creating logos or company trademarks.


6. Persons creating handmade craftworks for sale are responsible for complying with any state and local business and tax regulations.


7. Persons participating in this angel policy assume all liability for suitability of their work and agree to indemnify Ellison, its officers, employees, affiliates and licensors, and assigns from disputes arising from their work.


8. Ellison is a California corporation. The laws of the State of California govern the policy. The state and federal courts for Orange County, California, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any proceeding arising from this policy. Any failure by Ellison to enforce any of its rights will not constitute a waiver of such rights.
