Sign on a bank door, no Christmas cash then.

Sign on a Bank door, bit of a worry if you needed cash?

This is the reply I have just got back from Alamy Re my Email regarding reportage of newspaper usage. Not sure if it clears anything up regarding invoicing for reported usage before the usual 4 months or if we report usage early the invoice will still not be raised in time. Andy "When usages are billed they are done so based on the rate on the date that the invoice is raised. So, if an invoice is raised after the February commission change date, these will reflect the commission rate at that time. If the invoice is raised prior to this change then they will reflect the 50% commission rate. Thanks"

Thanks for that next time I find an interesting rock i'll be after your advice, I have looked with a novice eye at the geological maps for around me, just out of interest as the bare rock can change hugely within 40 metres of each location, and the strata lines can go from horizontal to vertical with folds as well all again within 50 metres. Must have been a lot of movement back in the day. P76RCW, P68XK0 will give you an idea. Thanks in advance PS I have just updated the location. Andy

To be honest my interest in geology is pretty limited, I was walking past the cliff and the image for its own sake interested me. If it sells that's fine, if not it only cost me time.

The whole cliff face is pretty much as per the imager. Never ceases to amaze me the help and expertise offered on here, thanks for all the contributions. Andy

E mail sent to Alamy today. With respect to mainly newspapers, as you know you ask us to wait for 4 months to report known usage, this would carry to well over February. I would like to insist that we report usage if known for an invoice to be issued before the February cut of date. I await a reply. Andy

Done.

Thanks Jansos very interesting site. I'll add it to the tags. Andy

Same issue with JCB on the side of a forklift. BTW had the same with cattle ear tags on G. Plus the logo on a ball that was floating in the water.

I agree with Sally it does stick in the throat, I was just trying to establish that the 40% would not be applied retrospectively on all invoices. With newspapers its a good chance that anything uploaded by them back in September will not be reported until after February which annoying to say the least

Just received from Alamy Hi Andrew, Any sale invoiced before February will have 50% commission, this includes uncleared sales. Only images bought in February once the contract is changed will be at 40%."

There is some decency after all just had this reply from Alamy. "Hi Andrew, Any sale invoiced before February will have 50% commission, this includes uncleared sales. Only images bought in February once the contract is changed will be at 40%."

Sent an Email to Alamy to clear up the issue, I will post the reply when I get it.
