BobD Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 6 hours ago, hsessions said: I have followed all 119 pages of this topic, still confused and more confused. I am putting restrictions on my collection, but am afraid I'll put so many that nothing will sell. Can anyone who has understood this contract better than I have, help with just a few specific questions I have. 1. If I had images at another agency which have never sold; have since been removed and are not available for licensing there, can I mark those as Exclusive to Alamy? (Anything with Logos, Brands, Trademarks, Statues etc., I know what I need to do.) I understand everyone is busy and have their own ports and things to sort out, but will appreciate if could spare a few minutes to respond to the above. Thanks Helen Why would you want to make anything exclusive to Alamy. There would be no advantage to doing so. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if your images are exclusive? Wouldn’t the advantage be that Alamy will chase infringements on behalf of the photographer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to hang on to the 50%, BobD. I batch processed some images yesterday, not image by image, whether they were or not exclusive I removed the exclusive checkmark and this morning $-20.00 other fees. not sure if the deduction is related to that plus some other restrictions I have put on the images some are just in a straight jacket right now. Will be going through the port again now and more carefully and selectively applying restrictions. Helen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
