On Bonfire, your campaign or custom order is subject to review for adherence to our content policies. Before launching your campaign or placing your order, please ensure that it does not contain any of the following:
Trademark issues
Trademarks are symbols, words or colors that represent a company, organization or product. Trademarks are registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and afford their owners strong legal protections. Here are a few examples:
University names, logos and colors
Professional sports team names, logos and colors
Comic book superhero logos and names
Fraternity and sorority names
Bonfire cannot print artwork that resembles unlicensed apparel.
Use this form to report potential trademark violations.
Copyright issues
Copyright refers to the legal protections afforded to the creators and owners of intellectual property. Unlike trademarks, copyright does not need to be registered with a government body, and is automatically granted to artists, authors, and creators. Here are some examples:
A cool design posted online by an artist
A character from a movie or TV show
Lyrics from a song
Bonfire cannot print artwork that contains clear copyright issues.
Use this form to report potential copyright violations.
Hateful content
For every 1,000 great products, we find a few that don’t belong on Bonfire. Here are a few types of content that may be taken down:
Hate speech or symbols of hatred
Content that advocates violence
Content that bullies or harasses an individual or group
Content that is insensitive to a tragedy
Nudity and sexually explicit content:
Bonfire restricts content that includes nudity or is overtly sexual in nature. Nudity and sexually explicit content will be reviewed carefully in terms of its form and purpose. Content intended for educational or satirical purposes may be permitted depending on the design content and the overall intent.
Fraudulent content
Bonfire does not tolerate campaigns that attempt to deceive buyers in any way. This is especially relevant for fundraising campaigns, where profits and donations benefit a specific cause or organization.
If false representations are made by a seller during a campaign, it may be taken down and Bonfire may alert the authorities.
Use this form to report potential instances of hateful, sexually explicit or fraudulent content.
