Alamy Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The Alamy contributor contract has been updated and we’re writing to give you notice of these changes. The new contract is here and the key changes are listed here. The changes will come into effect on 23rd June 2023. Most of the changes are small tweaks to general wording, but there are three key changes we’d like to highlight, with the full text to these available in the links above. In relation to Clause 2.10: As with the current Contract, if your Content is marked as Exclusive you give Alamy the right to chase third party infringements of the Content without Alamy having to consult you. However, if the Content has been found to be licensed through another licensing platform (and the Content is therefore not Exclusive to Alamy), Alamy will recoup any fees incurred in relation to the pursuit of any action taken, including legal admin fees. This does not include any sales you make directly to a customer via any personal photography service. In relation to Clauses 9.1 and 9.3: If you are opted in to Novel use, your images can be licensed to customers for Machine Learning purposes and when applicable, you will be entitled to payment for any Content licensed for these licenses. We have extended the Novel Use opt-out period to coincide with the notice period of the contract change should you wish for your images to not be included in the Novel Use scheme under this new contract. In relation to Clause 16.8: Where Alamy reasonably believes Content on a third-party website has been sourced from Alamy without a license, you grant Alamy the right to pursue any suspected or actual infringements of copyright of the Content without the need to notify you in advance. Many Thanks, Louise (Contributor Relations) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
