Colblimp Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Call me dumb but I still don't get it. I've certainly had images published in books during my short Alamy career but that's about all I know about DACS. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help? https://www.dacs.org.uk/for-artists/payback + do a search of the forum - plenty of info. EDIT: actually ignore the forum search - it's rubbish!

I'm a bit confused as it says Alamy receives the funds in Dec and pays out in Jan. Is it not Sept at the moment?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Much like their normal invoicing process perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to do yourself IMO and get 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I opted out of Alamy claiming DACS payments for me for books magazines etc. But allowed Alamy to claim for TV usage for me as per their contract at the time. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Convery Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 TV uses are only valid for one year, and the details often don't include the Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Also TV uses are more difficult to follow/find. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are rolling out the emails, as they say they are rolling out the payments. Or maybe you should contact them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marek Stepan Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Already got payment into my account. Little less than previous years, it seems that there is a smaller amount of money to be distributed or/and more artists claiming every year. Made me happy anyway.
