Authorized Manufacturer’s Agreement


An Authorized Manufacturer’s Agreement (“AMA”) allows a third-party manufacturer/factory to manufacture, print and/or embroider product incorporating the marks of CLC represented collegiate institutions specifically for orders placed by a licensee. The CLC License Agreement disallows third-party manufacturers from producing merchandise without the execution of the AMA. The licensee remains responsible for maintaining the License Agreement, obtaining all approvals, labeling and distributing all product, invoicing all accounts, and paying all royalties due.

To obtain authorization for a third-party manufacturer, please download the Authorized Manufacturer’s Agreement below. Licensees must fill in their name and address in Paragraph (1) under Grant of Authorization and have an officer of the company sign the AMA. It should then be forwarded it to the manufacturer they would like to authorize. The manufacturer must insert their name and address in the opening paragraph of the agreement, sign the agreement, fully disclose its factory site location(s), and return it to the licensee or CLC. To expedite the process, we strongly recommend that the authorized manufacturers/factories fax the AMA directly to CLC at 770-955-4491.

Once the AMA is received and signed by CLC, a fully executed copy will be returned to the licensee. The licensee is not permitted to sell or distribute the requested merchandise until a fully executed copy of the AMA is received from CLC.

If you have further questions about the AMA process, please visit the special section for Authorized Manufacturers in the FAQ section of the site located under the Resources menu, or simply use the search function on the top right corner of each page to find additional information.
