CTMH's Angel Policy

CLOSE TO MY HEART ANGEL POLICY


All Close To My Heart designs are copyrighted by CTMH Co. and are protected under United States and international copyright law, which means they cannot be copied without Close To My Heart’s permission. 

Close To My Heart’s Angel Policy grants limited permission (a license) to purchasers of Close To My Heart stamps to create hand-stamped artwork for sale. Close To My Heart does not limit the types of hand-stamped creations that may be sold under this policy, within reasonable standards of good taste. 

The terms and conditions of this "Angel Policy" are outlined below:
  • Close To My Heart designs may only be used in the creation of original, hand-stamped artwork.
  • Any artwork created using Close To My Heart designs must not infringe third-party copyrighted material. The artist must accept full responsibility for his or her artwork.
  • No stamp design may be reproduced or copied by any means, except hand-stamping, including photocopying, computer scanning and printing, or by freehand drawing. Artwork for sale must be personally hand-stamped by the selling artist, and any mass production or use of paid workers is prohibited.
  • The following notice must appear on hand-stamped artwork created for resale: “Designs © CTMH Co.” 
  • The special Angel Policy stamp set is available here for only $8.25.
  • Completed hand-stamped artwork may be sold at craft fairs, fundraisers, retail locations, and over the Internet. In the sale of hand-stamped artwork, Close To My Heart trademarks and logos may not be used prominently or in any manner which might lead consumers to believe the hand-stamped artwork itself is a Close To My Heart product.
  • Hand-stamped artwork may be sold alone or in conjunction with Close To My Heart products.
  • Sales may be made only in the United States (including U.S. Territories), Canada, or on U.S. military installations (as permitted).
  • Close To My Heart designs and images may not be used in non-Close To My Heart business logos, trademarks, or promotional materials.
  • Close To My Heart may amend its policies governing the use of its copyrighted designs and images, including the Angel Policy, at any time. Amendments to such policies are effective upon publication unless otherwise noted and will be posted on the official Close To My Heart website. Close To My Heart reserves the right to deny or terminate permission to use Close To My Heart designs and images with respect to any particular person.
