03
Send insurance and supply-chain documents
Expect a certificate of insurance with an additional insured endorsement naming the licensor, typically occurrence-based product liability coverage written as dollar figures. You'll also disclose the factories that will make licensed product and confirm your code of conduct.
04
Sign the agreement and pay the advance
When University of Notre Dame approves, you'll sign a license agreement that sets your categories, channels and royalty rate, and pay any advance due at signing.

Get every design approved before you produce
A signed license doesn't clear you to manufacture. Each product category and sales channel is approved separately, and every piece of artwork is submitted and approved before production. Even small color corrections are resubmitted, so the finished product matches what was approved.
06
Report royalties on time
File royalty reports in BrandComply CAMPUS on the schedule your agreement sets, including periods with no sales. Late or missing reports can hold artwork approvals or end the license.
