ABOUT ARTZENTURY CLEARED ART
Q: What is Artzentury Cleared Art? A: Artzentury Cleared Art is a licensing platform specializing in artwork that is guaranteed to be cleared for use in film, television, streaming, advertising, and social media projects.

Our goal is to simplify the process for producers, art departments, and set decorators by providing artwork that is pre-cleared for professional use.
Q: What does “cleared art” mean? A: “Cleared art” means that all artwork on our site has been vetted to ensure it is free from copyright or intellectual property conflicts. This allows you to safely use the artwork in your productions without legal concerns.
LICENSING ARTWORK
Q: How do I license artwork for my project? A: Licensing is straightforward. Browse our online galleries and select the artwork you’d like to license. Submit your inquiry via the Contact Form or email us at info@artzentury.com with the details of your project, including title, production company, usage, and duration. Once we review your request, we will provide a customized licensing agreement outlining the terms, fees, and delivery method.
Q: What projects are your artworks cleared for? A: All Artzentury Cleared Art pieces are cleared for use in film, television, streaming services, commercials, social media content, and other media productions.
Q: Can I modify the licensed artwork? A: Cropping and resizing are allowed, but any other alterations must be approved by us. Contact us to discuss your specific needs before modifying artwork. We can also modify any artwork to your specified color palette.
Q: Can I license artwork exclusively? A: Yes, exclusivity can be arranged for an additional fee, depending on the artwork’s availability and mutually agreed terms. Contact us to explore your options.
Q: What file formats are available for licensed artwork? A: Digital artwork files are delivered in high-resolution formats suitable for production use, such as TIFF, PSD, or high-quality JPEG. Specific formats can be requested and tailored to your production needs.
Q: Can I print or enlarge licensed images myself? A: Yes, you may print or enlarge digital files, but some files may not be suitable for extreme enlargements without quality loss. We provide the highest-resolution version available and can offer custom solutions at an additional cost if required.
Q: Does the license cover all media types (film, broadcast, streaming, etc.)? A: Yes. Standard licensing agreements can cover film, television, broadcast, streaming, and digital media. Each license is tailored to your production’s scope and distribution.
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Q: What insurance is required to license artwork? A: Clients must provide proof of the following minimum insurance coverage:
General Liability Insurance – Minimum $500,000 per occurrence / $1,000,000 aggregate, covering on-set incidents or property damage.
Inland Marine Insurance or Production Package Policy (DICE) – Must include Props, Sets, and Wardrobe with a minimum of $500,000 coverage and a deductible of $2,500.
ArtZentury Cleared Art and Arberday Film and Television Productions, Inc. must be named as additional insuredson this policy.
Errors & Omissions (E&O) / Professional Liability Insurance – Recommended, not required. Most professional productions carry E&O based on studio or network requirements, which helps protect all parties involved.
Deposits: ArtZentury Cleared Art reserves the right to hold a deposit equal to the deductible ($2,500) for Props, Sets, and Wardrobe.
Exceptions for Smaller Productions: We understand that smaller or low-budget productions may have limited insurance coverage. In these cases, we will consider reasonable exceptions to the minimum requirements on a case-by-case basis. Licensing cannot proceed until proof of coverage is provided or an exception is approved.
PURCHASING PHYSICAL ARTWORK AND PRINTS
Q: Can I purchase physical artworks or prints? A: Absolutely! All pieces on our site are available as physical artworks or high-quality prints. Simply browse our galleries and select your desired items.
Q: Do you offer custom sizes or framing options for prints? A: We offer a variety of print sizes, but framing is not currently available. Contact us for details and pricing.
Q: Are purchased artworks also licensed for use in productions? A: No. Purchasing a physical artwork or print does not include licensing rights for media use. Licensing must be arranged separately.
Q: Is there a deposit required for licensing physical artworks? A: Yes. Licensing physical artworks requires a deposit based on the artwork(s) selected. Contact us for more details.
Q: Can I order a print for personal display? A: Yes. Selected artworks are available as high-quality printed reproductions for personal, non-commercial use. Prints are produced and shipped by ArtZentury Cleared Art.

Q: Will I know if my requested size can be printed before purchase? A: Absolutely. We verify technical feasibility and contact you with alternatives if needed.
Q: Do you print for licensing clients too? A: Yes—but only upon request. Licensing clients normally receive digital files to print themselves. If a production wants us to handle printing, we can arrange it at an additional cost.
Q: What if I receive a print that looks different from the website? A: Color variations may occur due to screen calibration or the print process. We work closely with our print partners to ensure fidelity, but exact color matching cannot be guaranteed.
