My initial thoughts are "What on earth is "Zazzle" and why would I want to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement"?
Yup... according to Wikipedia:
"Zazzle is an American online marketplace that allows designers and customers to create their own products with independent manufacturers (clothing, posters, etc.), as well as use images from participating companies. Zazzle has partnered with many brands to amass a collection of digital images from companies like Disney, Warner Brothers and NCAA sports teams. Zazzle claims to have over 300 million unique products listed on the site."
The reality of this is that 'Zazzle' is niche and relatively unknown outside the 'ingroup'.
You have compliance issues... you
cannot (reasonably or legally) expect somebody to agree to an NDA and/or terms of use which are hidden behind a log-in page; which yours currently are. - From your blog page the T&Cs lead to an error page (yet you still expect agreement with them)
Unfortunately I cannot post this as a direct link but - cut and paste this into your browser:
legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/notes/division/10/39/12
"1536.Sections 1202 and 1203 replace section 4(1)(a) and (2) to (7) of the Business Names Act 1985. They are designed to ensure that customers and suppliers:
of sole traders know the true identity of the person with whom they are dealing and have an address for him/her which is effective for the service of documents relating to the business;
of partnerships with 20 or fewer partners know the identity of every partner and the address which is effective for the service of documents relating to the business;
of larger partnerships know the address which is effective for the service of documents relating to the business and either the identity of every partner or the address at which they can discover the identity of every partner."
Although it's a common - almost universal error - I'm reliably informed (by my IP lawyer) that it's necessary for sole traders to disclose who they are on websites and other publicity; particularly if using a 'trading style'. -It is absolutely a requirement if you've 'ring fenced' things behind a limited company.
I've absolutely no way of knowing whether I'm dealing with Leah Gr**, Sole Trader - or some other entity. ...If you feel the need to protect a private address; pay the money for an accommodation address through one of them many business service centres that exist. Often, you can use these as registered office addresses for limited companies.
I did actually find a 'back door' way at one point (can't find my way back to it) into a set of what appeared to be 'T&Cs'... These IIRC looked as though they were lifted from (or possibly related to or even on) the American 'parent' organisation.
Many Americans seem surprised to learn that you don't fall off the edge of the world if you keep sailing east past the big green metal lady with the ice-cream cone! - And are even more astounded to learn that the laws of the United States of America do not apply in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!
I think I saw reference to Californian State law... which to be fair was framed for Californian residents; but as you're in the UK is probably irrelevant and actually throws the whole thing into doubt over its competence.
Likewise it's important to understand that things like Copyright law differ between the US and UK...
For example, I constantly see people citing 'fair use' and the DCMA in relation to UK-based/originated materials. The latter is an American act (i.e law) and the doctrine here in the UK is 'fair dealing' which is subtly different from the American 'version'. - Though each country 'respects' the other's provision under the Bern convention, of that relationship you'd have to say; 'it's complicated'.
The bottom line is you shouldn't use American 'boilerplate' material on your UK based site and within your UK based business:
1) The terms you so impose are likely to be unenforceable in the UK
2) As UK citizen/business you're NOT protected by American law!
3) This is something that scammers very-commonly do; as is obfuscating their identity etc. I'm not suggesting for a moment here that
you are running a scam; but you are - inadvertently we assume - flying a couple of 'red flags'.
Then... please remember DO that you are subject to UK laws and regulation... Any claims you make for yourself or the business need to meet those! Again - I'm not able to post a link but this is the URL you need.

Like others here, I'm not in the demographic you appear to be targeting. Neither it seems is my 27-year-old Arts Graduate daughter! Or my ('artsy') wife... Both said something along the lines of they thought it looked like 'one of those cheesy American MLM things"...
Neither quite figured out what exactly it was you were selling; but then, they couldn't be persuaded to hang around on the site for very long. - At the heart of the problem
I think is the fact that it's really not at all easy to differentiate yourself - your business - from... (quoting my wife here)
'Razzle, Dazzle, Twizzle, Whizzle - what's it called? Oh! Zazzle!
it’s all a bit mystery meat.
Aye... 'tis.
