How does the Creative Fabrica POD license relate to selling on POD platforms like Redbubble, Zazzle, Spreadshirt and other platforms, like Etsy and Amazon KDP?

When selling products that use elements sourced from Creative Fabrica, it is not only important to adhere to the Creative Fabrica POD license (find more guidelines about our POD licenses here), but also to the terms and policies of the specific platform you are selling on. Each POD platform, such as Redbubble, Zazzle, and Spreadshirt, has its own specific rules and guidelines regarding the use of third-party content. Additionally, when using a production partner like Printful to create products for sale on non-POD platforms such as Etsy, you must also ensure that you comply with the terms and requirements of the platform you are selling on.

Some platforms have strict rules about how to use elements sourced from other sites. For instance, they may have specific requirements for how designs can be modified, attributed, or used in commercial products. Failure to comply with these rules can result in copyright claims, removal of your products, or even suspension of your account.

To ensure compliance and avoid potential legal issues, it is crucial to review and understand the policies of each platform you intend to sell on. Here are some links to the policy pages for some popular POD platforms:

• Redbubble IP/Publicity Rights Policy
• Merch by Amazon
• Zazzle
• Spreadshirt

Other platforms:

• Etsy's Intellectual Property Policy, Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy’s Creativity Standards
• Amazon KDP Content Guidelines (please find additional guidelines for Amazon KDP here)

By familiarizing yourself with these policies, you can be confident  that your use of Creative Fabrica content aligns with the terms of the platforms you are using, thereby reducing the risk of copyright claims and other issues.
