0 Vincent Lowe Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Whether it is right and fair is debatable but that is the commission rate if your total sales are below $250 in a year. See section 12.12 of the Contibutors Contract..... 12.12. At the end of each Revenue Year if your total Licence Fees for that year, net of any refunds: 12.12.1. are less than $250 then the Alamy Commission for sales of your Content in the following Revenue Year will automatically switch to Alamy Silver as outlined in the Alamy Commission Table; - https://www.alamy.com/terms/contributor-commission-table/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My total revenue for the "Revenue Year" from 1st July 2023 to 30th June 2024 was $601.66 (including $14.43 of DACS Payback Scheme). There is something that I'm not following properly and I would like to understand. Edited July 12 by ribeiroantonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 kennethwfd Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) I presume you didn't achieve $250 worth of sales between 1 July 2023 to end June 2024, so you are now on Alamy Silver (80% commission), so will be paid at this rate until you have achieved $250 worth of sales in this period starting 1st July 2024. Once you have achieved this, you will revert to alamy Gold (40% commission) for any subsequent sales. This is an ongoing process, in that if you do not acheve $250 worth of sales in any 12 month period starting 1st July, you will revert to Alamy Silver on 1st July the following year Edited July 24 by kennethwfd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
