Using the word "Zazzle" and Images of Licensed Products

Hi everyone!  I'm still fairly new to Zazzle and I have some questions.

1.  I know that the TOS says we can't use the Zazzle name to promote our products, but does this mean we can't use the name Zazzle in any circumstances?  If I post an article on my blog about officially licensed products, am I allowed to say something like "Click Here To See The Official Zazzle Disney Store?"  Or in the section of my website where I talk about my online store and how it got started, can I say that it's on Zazzle?  Or can we never use the word Zazzle outside of the Zazzle site itself?

2.   You can probably guess that I don't have licensing agreements with Disney, Major Universities, etc.  But if I'm promoting officially licensed products available on Zazzle, can I use images of those products if it is an actual image of the product from Zazzle's site?  For instance, if I'm promoting a product featuring a super hero - let's call him, um, "Nocturnal Mammal Guy" - can I post a picture of the item? 

Thanks!

I'm confused. Where are you seeing that you can't use the word "Zazzle" to promote Zazzle products? I've looked through the User Agreement (User Agreement | Zazzle.com) and the only thing I see that seems to touch on this issue is the following:

26.5. Zazzle grants you a non-exclusive, revocable and limited license to use the Content and Zazzle's tools, images, Product photographs for the purposes of promoting the Site in the condition that you provide appropriate attribution and a link to the Zazzle website. We reserve the right to terminate this license at any time.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't make any sense to me that Zazzle wouldn't want us to use their name when promoting our stores or other Zazzle products.

I don't know where I got the idea that we aren't allowed to use the Zazzle name to promote our products.  I skimmed though the whole user agreement and the only thing I spotted on the subject is what you posted above.
