Exclusivity questions

[rickboden]

I've seen answers to two of my questions on separate threads and it would be nice to get all three answered together if possible.  Here are my questions:

 

1.  When I mark exclusive on Alamy, can I still sell on my own site (eg. Photoshelter or Photodeck?)

 

2.. When I mark exclusive, can I still sell on one of those POD sites? (only not as stock)

 

3.  Should I decide to sell with another company, is it just a matter of unchecking the box, or is there a time limiting factor involved?

 

Thanks,

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Just a matter of unchecking the box AFAIK.

No problem. That's just my interpretation, though.

And mine too...

 

Alamy have explicitly stated 1 and 2. See this.

Answer to item 3 matches what AIM currently allows, so presumably that's OK too otherwise why would AIM allow it?

Thanks again John and Mark, I just went into the Image Manager and ticked Exclusivity for most of my images as I have no near term plans to list with another agency.
