Demonstrator Manual - Stampin' Up!

■ There are substantial financial risks associated with
stockpiling inventory that may become obsolete,
discontinued, or unable to be sold.
■ Demonstrators may be subject to zoning, reporting,
and tax laws. Such laws can be complicated and
demonstrators may find themselves unwittingly
violating them.
■ Stockpiling inventory can potentially cause financial
stress on a demonstrator if the inventory is not sold in
a timely manner.
■ The Stampin’ Up! product line is so broad that it is
difficult to stock sufficient inventory to satisfy any
particular consumer. In addition, the inventory restocking
fee and the 90-day return and exchange policy limit a
demonstrator’s ability to dispose of inventory. Stampin’
Up! has made three limited exceptions to this cash-andcarry
prohibition: catalogs discontinued merchandise you
have on hand, and kits. If you choose to sell catalogs or
discontinued merchandise via any sales format outside of
Stampin’ Up!’s established order fulfillment system, you
are liable for any sales, use, or income taxes on these sales.
Please consult your tax advisor for information on tax laws
for which you will be responsible.
Discontinued merchandise may not be sold at workshops.
It may be sold at stamp camps, open houses, community
fundraisers, seasonal boutiques or bazaars, or over the Internet.
Realize, however, that consistently selling discontinued
merchandise will hurt your sales.
Internet/Web Site Policy
Stampin’ Up! provides Demonstrator Business Web Services as
an easy and professional way to have a presence on the web. If
you choose to create your own personal web site or blog, please
follow the outlined guidelines:
Advertising Online
By allowing demonstrators to participate in Internetbased
advertising, Stampin’ Up! is not endorsing any
of these forums. Demonstrators must make their own
determination as to whether any costs involved would
provide a good return on their investment.
Demonstrators may post any Stampin’ Up! images on their
web sites, but must use the appropriate Stampin’ Up! copyright
notice. In addition, all trademarked product names must carry
the appropriate trademark () and registered trademark (®)
designations. These trademarks are listed on the Demonstrator
Web Site.

Publishing Photos
Stampin’ Up!’s legal privacy policy prevents publishing
photos of any individuals other than a demonstrator
and the demonstrator’s immediate family without
a photo waiver. When submitting photos of you or
members of your family, you grant Stampin’ Up! the
right to publish those photos. If you would like to
submit a project with photos of individuals other than
immediate family members, you must have them fill out
a Release of Artistic Work and/or Photography. You can
find it online in the Printing Place. Include these forms
with your submitted projects.

products are released to the public. Demonstrators may,
