BobD Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Like most people I seem to be getting more personal use licences lately. What I cannot understand is if these are genuine, why are they not paid for. I have a few that are marked as uncleared in my account balance. Surely if they are uncleared they must be account customers which makes the Personal use licence very suspicious. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Good point - why not ask for an explanation or some sort of clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptoprocta Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Alamy told me a while ago that account customers can and do buy images for personal use. But from their company account?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are employees then almost certainly a crooked purchase, but how to tell? Alamy don’t seem to mind, to them a sale is a sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with us. 31 minutes ago, sb photos said: I know people with their own business that put all sorts of purchases through as company expenses. We all have our own business and account for expenses. An image licence to promote the business would certainly be deductible.

Still, as I've said before, IME, many PU sales are higher value than many web use (unlimited or near-unlimited time) sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could be one of sb's "all sorts of expenses". Edited July 5, 2022 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
