Title: Submitting same images to multiple agencies
Post by: stockload on April 08, 2017, 18:27

Hi all, 
Total newbie here, my first day/topic.  I know most agencies (maybe all of them) let you submit same images to any other agency, but are there any that DO NOT permit submitting  to other agencies?  If there are I'd like to stay away from them.  Thanks!

Unless you 'go exclusive' with an agency that allows exclusivity, basically every microstock agency gives you the option to be a non-exclusive contributor.

If you submit rights managed to an agency you can not submit the same image as royalty free to other agencies

Plus a lot of RM agencies demand image / series exclusivity.
Bottom line, always check the terms, conditions and contract of any agency you're intending supplying very carefully. You'd be surprised how many people post here angry about something they signed up for but didn't bother to read about.
