The short version
Every image on this site is cleared and ready for camera. The artwork comes from AION Art Gallery in Burnaby, British Columbia, which owns and runs this site. Buying a download buys the right to print and show that artwork in one production, anywhere in the world, for as long as that production runs.
What you receive. A print ready file at 180 ppi, calibrated to Adobe RGB, in the tier you choose:
| Tier | Pixels on the long edge | Prints to about |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 2800 px | 16 inches / 40 cm |
| Medium | 4800 px | 27 inches / 68 cm |
| Large | 8000 px | 44 inches / 110 cm |
| X-large | On request | The original artwork at full size |
The size filters in the catalogue describe the proportions of the original painting. They are separate from these licence tiers, which set how large your file will print.
What you can do. Print it, frame it, put it on camera. Adjust the size by up to 4 inches in either direction to fit your frame. Take up to four prints from the one file.
What you cannot do. Crop, retouch, recolour, composite or otherwise alter the image. Run a large print run. Carry the same file into a second production. Pass the file to anyone outside the production.
Need it bigger? Buy the next tier up. If you are already at Large, write to us about an X-large or an extended licence.
When the production wraps. Destroy the prints and delete the file. A new production needs a new licence.
Release forms. Send us yours and we will sign it, usually within one business day.
Money and hours. All prices are Canadian dollars. We work Pacific time, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, excluding Canadian statutory holidays.

The sections below are the binding agreement. Downloading a file means you accept them.
1. The parties
This licence is between AION Art Gallery Inc., a British Columbia corporation, which owns and operates the website cleareddigitalart.com (“we”, “us”, “our”), and the person or company named as licensee at checkout (“you”). It governs every image file supplied through cleareddigitalart.com, together with any title, caption, keyword or other descriptive information attached to that file. All of it is called the artwork below.
2. The licence we grant
We license on a rights managed basis. One purchase covers one production, priced by the tier you select at checkout. Subject to everything in this agreement, the licence is:
a. Worldwide. No territorial limit. The artwork may appear wherever the production is shot, broadcast, streamed or distributed.
b. Tied to a single production. It runs for the life of one production, including every season of a returning series and the full run of a commercial. It ends when that production ceases. At that point every print made from the file must be destroyed and the file deleted from all storage, including copies held by your art department, your vendors and your archive.
c. Limited in quantity. Four prints from the licensed file. Anything beyond four is a print run and needs our written agreement and a further fee.
d. Limited in dimension. You may scale the artwork up or down by no more than 4 inches horizontally and 4 inches vertically from the print size of your tier. If you need more than that, buy the next tier up. Where you already hold a Large, write to us about an X-large or an extended licence.
e. Non exclusive. Unless your invoice or a signed side agreement says otherwise, the same artwork stays available to other customers. If you want exclusivity, contact us and we will quote a buy out.
f. Non transferable. The licence belongs to the named licensee and cannot be sold, lent, assigned or sublicensed, except as set out in section 6.
Use, in this agreement, means to copy, reproduce, print, display, film, broadcast, stream, publish or otherwise incorporate the artwork into a production.
3. What you receive
a. Tiers. Small, Medium and Large are sold through the site at the pixel dimensions and approximate print sizes shown above. X-large, which reproduces the original artwork at its full dimensions, is quoted on request.
b. Resolution and colour. Files are supplied at 180 ppi and calibrated to Adobe RGB.
c. Catalogue size filters. The size categories used to browse the catalogue describe the shape and scale of the original painting. They do not set the size of your file, which is determined by the tier you buy.
d. Prices. The price of each tier is the one shown on the listing at the time of purchase, in Canadian dollars.
4. What you may not do
a. No alteration. The artwork must appear as delivered. Do not crop, stretch, distort, recolour, filter, retouch, composite, overlay or digitally manipulate it. Scaling within the 4 inch allowance in section 2(d) is the only change permitted.
b. No second production. One licence covers one production. Reusing a file you already hold on a different show, film, commercial or pilot requires a fresh purchase for that production.
c. No redistribution of the file. The artwork may not be made available in any form that lets another party download, extract, copy or receive it as a standalone file, separate from the production it was licensed for. This includes shared drives open to parties outside the production, asset libraries, and any transfer to another art department.
d. No unlawful or damaging context. The artwork may not be used in pornographic material, in anything defamatory, in anything promoting hatred or violence, or in any manner that breaks the law or breaches an applicable industry code.
e. No claim of authorship. You may not present yourself or anyone in the production as the creator of the artwork, and you may not build a work consisting mainly of our artwork and then claim it as original.
f. No stripping of information. Copyright notices, our name, the file reference number and embedded metadata must stay intact in the file you hold.
g. No use for training or recognition systems. The artwork and its associated text may not be used to train, fine tune, validate or otherwise develop any machine learning or artificial intelligence system, and may not be used in any technology built to identify individual people.
h. No separate use of the descriptive information. Titles, captions, keywords and metadata are licensed only as part of the artwork. They may not be extracted, published or exploited on their own, and you may not give a third party access to them.
5. Uses that require a separate licence
The following are available, but only with our written consent and a further fee. Ask before you commit to any of them.
a. Merchandise and made to order goods. Posters, prints for sale, postcards, mugs, apparel, calendars, wallpapers, screensavers, and any product where a customer selects the image and we are not party to the arrangement.
b. Templates and resale products. Any digital or physical template offered for sale or distribution, including website themes, card templates and design packs.
c. Branding. Use of the artwork, whole or in part, as a logo, trademark, trade dress, business name or service mark. You also agree not to attempt to register the artwork or anything closely based on it as a trademark in any jurisdiction, and not to rely on use, registration or acquired goodwill to stop anyone else, ourselves and the artist included, from using it.
d. Key art and promotional material. Use of the artwork in posters, trailers, press kits, packaging or advertising for the production, as distinct from its appearance within the production itself.
e. Blockchain and tokenised assets. Minting, issuing or selling the artwork as a non fungible token or any comparable digital asset.
6. Who else may use the file
Two exceptions to the rule that the licence stays with the named licensee:
a. Your employer or your client. If you bought on behalf of a production company, studio or client, that company may use the artwork, provided it is the party named as licensee. By purchasing you confirm you have authority to bind them to this agreement. Only one party holds the licence, either you or the company, never both.
b. Your suppliers. Printers, framers, mounting houses and similar vendors may handle the artwork solely to produce the physical prints for your production. They must keep to these terms and may not retain, reuse or repurpose the file afterwards. You stay responsible for what they do with it.
7. Your account
You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Keep your login details secure, tell us straight away if you think the account has been compromised, and accept responsibility for downloads made under it. We monitor download and account activity to check compliance with these terms. Where we find a breach, we may suspend the account and pursue any remedy available to us.
8. Ownership and credit
a. Ownership. Copyright in every piece stays with AION Art Gallery Inc. or with the artist who made it. Buying a licence buys permission to use the artwork in the way described here. Every right we have not expressly granted stays with us and with the artist.
b. Secondary revenue. You may not claim payment from a collecting society, a platform or any other body in respect of copying, sharing or secondary distribution of our artwork.
c. Credit. No credit is required when the artwork simply appears in the production. Where the production accords credits to other suppliers of licensed material, or where the use is editorial, credit the artwork in comparable size and placement, in this form: [Artist Name] / [Title of Work] via AION Art Gallery
d. Our name and marks. You may use our name and the artist’s name as needed to give that credit. Any other use of our name, logo or marks needs our written approval.
9. Ending the licence
a. Breach. If you break any term of this agreement, we may end the licence immediately. You must then stop using the artwork, destroy every print and delete every copy of the file, and confirm in writing that you have done so if we ask.
b. Social and third party platforms. If the artwork appears on a platform whose own terms claim rights over material posted there, or whose use of that material conflicts with this agreement, the licence for that placement ends at once and you agree to remove the artwork on request.
c. Refunds. Write to info@cleareddigitalart.com. Provided the request reaches us within 30 days of delivery and the artwork has not been used, we will cancel the order and refund it in full. After 30 days, or once the artwork has been used, no refund is available. Research, lab and service charges are not refundable at any point. A refund ends the licence, and the file and any prints must be destroyed.
d. Withdrawal of artwork. We may stop licensing any piece at any time. If a piece becomes subject to a third party claim, we may ask you to stop using it immediately, at your own cost, and to have your client, employer and suppliers do the same. Where that happens we will supply replacement artwork of comparable suitability at no charge.
10. What we warrant
a. Clearance. Every piece on this site is original artwork we own or represent, cleared before it reaches the catalogue. We warrant that use of the artwork as delivered, and in line with this agreement, will not infringe the copyright or moral rights of the artist or of any third party. This is what cleared means here, and it is the reason productions buy from us.
b. Releases. Where a listing states that a model release or property release has been obtained, we warrant that use in line with this agreement will not breach the trademark or other intellectual property right covered by that property release, and will not breach the privacy or publicity rights covered by that model release.
c. The limit of that warranty. It covers the artwork as we delivered it. Modifications, overlays, crops or composites made by you fall outside it, which is one reason section 4(a) prohibits them.
11. What we do not warrant
a. Depicted material we have not released. Except where section 10(b) applies, we make no promise about names, people, trademarks, trade dress, logos, buildings, designs or other works appearing within an image. Deciding whether a release is needed for your particular use, and obtaining it, is your responsibility.
b. Descriptive information. We categorise, title and keyword the artwork with reasonable care, and we do not warrant that this information or any embedded metadata is accurate.
c. Culturally protected subjects. Some jurisdictions require separate permission and fees for images of protected artworks, buildings or landscapes. Obtaining that permission and paying those fees is yours to handle, and we accept no liability if it is not done.
d. Print outcome. Our files are calibrated to Adobe RGB at 180 ppi. Screens, printers, inks and substrates vary widely, and what you get on paper depends on equipment and materials we never see. We therefore accept no responsibility for the appearance of your print. If the print matters to the scene, run a test early.
e. Everything else. Apart from the warranties in section 10, the artwork is supplied as is, with no representation, warranty or condition of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the artwork or the site will meet your requirements or that the site will be available without interruption or error.
12. Responsibility for claims
a. Your cover for us. You agree to defend and indemnify AION Art Gallery Inc., its affiliates, the artists it represents, and their officers, directors and employees against any damages, liabilities and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising from any use of the artwork outside this agreement, from any breach of this agreement by you or by anyone acting for you, and from any failure to obtain a release you were responsible for obtaining.
b. Our cover for you. Where a claim alleges that the artwork, as delivered and used within this agreement, infringes a third party copyright, we will defend the claim and cover the damages and costs awarded against you, subject to the limits in section 13.
c. How a claim is handled. The party seeking cover must notify the other in writing without delay. The party providing cover may take control of the defence, negotiation and settlement, and the other party will cooperate as reasonably asked. Legal costs incurred before that written notice are not covered.
13. Limits on our liability
NEITHER AION ART GALLERY INC. NOR THE ARTISTS IT REPRESENTS WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR FOR PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SUCH LOSSES ARE POSSIBLE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHATEVER THE CAUSE, IS CAPPED AT THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE ARTWORK GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, EXCEPT WHERE SECTION 12(b) APPLIES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE EXCLUSIONS, AND WHERE THAT IS SO THEY APPLY ONLY AS FAR AS THE LAW PERMITS.
14. Storage, records and audit
a. Storage. Keep the artwork secure and out of reach of anyone outside the production. Leave the copyright notice, our name, the file reference and the embedded metadata in place. One backup copy is permitted.
b. Samples. On reasonable notice, supply us with sample images or footage showing how the artwork was used, including access to any restricted platform where the production appears.
c. Audit. On reasonable notice, we may review the records relating to your use of the artwork, ourselves or through a third party, to confirm compliance with these terms. If a review shows you underpaid us by 5 percent or more, you will pay the shortfall and the cost of the review, in addition to any other remedy available to us.
15. Payment
a. Currency. All prices are in Canadian dollars.
b. Taxes. Sales taxes, use taxes, value added taxes, withholding taxes and duties charged by any jurisdiction because of this licence are yours to pay.
c. Late invoices. An unpaid balance may carry a service charge of 2 percent per month, being 24 percent per year, until it is settled.
16. Law and disputes
This agreement is governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict of law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute will be resolved by binding, confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator seated in Vancouver, British Columbia, conducted in English under the rules of the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre. The arbitrator’s decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court with jurisdiction. The successful party may recover reasonable legal costs on the parts of the claim or defence it wins, with any opposing award offset.
Two exceptions. We may go to any court with jurisdiction for an injunction or similar relief where we consider it necessary to protect our intellectual property or that of our artists. And arbitration must be started within two years of the events giving rise to the claim, whatever longer limitation period might otherwise apply.
17. General
a. Assignment. The licence is personal to you and cannot be assigned without our written consent. We may assign this agreement to an affiliate or a successor in our business, on condition that it takes on these terms.
b. Severability. If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest stays in force, and that provision is narrowed only so far as needed to make it enforceable.
c. Waiver. Only an express written waiver counts as a waiver. Nothing either party does or fails to do has that effect on its own.
d. Whole agreement. These terms, together with your invoice or order confirmation, are the entire agreement between us. Changes must be in writing and accepted by both sides, or issued electronically by us and accepted by you. If anything in your purchase order conflicts with these terms, these terms govern.
e. Changes to these terms. We may update this agreement from time to time. The version in force on the date you download a file is the one that applies to that file.
f. Notices. Notices to us go to info@cleareddigitalart.com. Notices to you go to the email address on your account.
