Staying within copyright guidelines

[DNufer]

I just started on Zazzle and am trying to find where I can learn how to keep my products from violating copyright issues.  I design original tangram puzzles.  While I understand the puzzle images are considered "derivative works" and should be within copyright guidelines, I don't know what that means regarding naming and describing them.  I make puzzles that follow themes.  For example, there are several that pay tribute to Disney characters or Star Wars characters and props, or superheroes.  I want to know if I can use a character name in the listing of my puzzles.  Can I call it, “Tangram Princess Leia”, “Tangram Mickey Mouse”, or "Tangram Wonder Woman", such that someone can search on those terms and find my product?  And, am I able to include anything in the description such as “This puzzle is one in a collection of puzzles that pay tribute to characters from Harry Potter…”?  Thanks

@DNufer You can't use any IP belonging to Disney/Star Wars/DC at all. You can't 'pay tribute' to those brands. They will get removed.

You need to read what is allowed https://help.zazzle.com/hc/en-us/articles/219144348-What-Content-is-Acceptable-for-Designs-on-Zazzle...

Actually, I read through those guidelines and they're very high level and general.  I'll keep looking for more specifics.
