Sally Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I recently had two novel use sales (EU TV license which normally is a fairly decent amount) sold for a pittance. Since I have been opted out of novel uses since I started with Alamy, this did not seem right. Alamy confirmed today that the licenses would be corrected (they said today but hasn't happened so far), so if you are in the same boat, check your recent licenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrosiniv Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 How do you know if a sale is 'novel use'? I also have opted out and have had some very low $ sales recently, which is unusual when compared to the rest of my sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 On 16/04/2023 at 10:41, Allan Bell said: Alamy have corrected the error. Allan All they did was the change license details taking out the reference to novel use. I think this is outrageous as a normal TV use sale would not be the same price as a novel use license (the last one I had was $150). I’ve complained but after nearly 4 weeks haven’t heard back. Technically I could perhaps argue that Alamy broke the terms of my contract with them originally selling for novel use when I’ve been opted out since I started in 2017. I rarely complain about Alamy but this makes me cross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem cheeky just changing the license terms, but not the fee.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
