Colblimp 2,081 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 post Share on other sites

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!

Check out your Accounts Balance over the next weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites
Avpics 1,500 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Much like their normal invoicing process perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites

Easy to do yourself IMO and get 100%. Link to post Share on other sites
Allan Bell 2,409 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 post Share on other sites

Allan Oh? Why? Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Convery 171 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 post Share on other sites
Allan Bell 2,409 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Also TV uses are more difficult to follow/find. Allan Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they are rolling out the emails, as they say they are rolling out the payments. Or maybe you should contact them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Marek Stepan 0 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. Link to post Share on other sites
