Number of different Usages of one Image


Recommended Posts

Hello @ all,

just a simple question. How often is a customer allowed to use my Image, he bought here on Alamy.

The reason i ask is a News-Website who bought a Image a few months ago one time for 11$ but uses it over and over again on their website on different topics over a few months.

Does the license include this multi-usage?

Thanks in Advance for any clarification.

It's under an RF licence so it can be reused by the site without limit.

If you had put it under RM, you would usually have got a separate fee each time. Incidentally you can't change it back now- once an image has sold as RF it can never be licensed as RM again.

Incidentally,  I've had the Guardian self-report subsequent uses of an RF image and pay a separate fee, but this was a few years ago. I don't know if it's still so scrupulous.

According to Alamy, you can:

It makes sense, as most Alamy RM sales don't have any degree of exclusivity.

You might lose a huge sale, but there aren't many of these going about.

 

But absolutely, if it's Royalty Free, they can use it multiple times. Read the terms of the agencies/distributors you sell through.
