Hey guys,

I'm in the process of creating my photo store and I've noticed a small but serious error in the licensing template that a few of you may need to fix.  I noticed that Cory and Dan (warmpictures) need to fix this.  I only know of three stores so I only know of two with the error from here.  Anyone else who has a ktool store should double check theirs too.

The error is in the second paragraph of the template that I've made bold:

END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA) ? By downloading any image or material from our website, you hereby agree to the following terms and conditions as outlined herein, and as listed elsewhere on our website:

This agreement is made by and between {COMPANY_NAME} (otherwise listed herein as You or Your) who creates an account for the right to access, acquire, and use Materials from this website.

This should read something like this:

This agreement is made by and between {COMPANY_NAME eg. 'Bogus Company Inc.'} (othewise listed herin as (shortended company name if applicable eg 'Bogus') and the end user, either an individual or entity (otherwise listed herein as You or Your) who creates an account for the right to access, aquire and use Materials from this website.

I haven't read anything else in the EULA but seeing an error in the first part of the agreement about the parties involved, doesn't give me great confidence over the rest of it.  I googled some of above paragraph and noticed hundreds of ktools store (I'm presuming) have the error in their EULA.... shocking!

This is your legal agreement so I highly recommend people go through it with a fine toothed comb (if they haven't already) and make sure you're happy with every word written in there. 

Cheers.

I normally wake up to one or two sales on Zazzle each day or every second day.  Sometimes these are nice big sales or sometimes they're sales of keychains or stickers that are nothing to write home about.

Today though, I had six sales, from different buyers and all but one were multiple sales, already bringing me to the half way mark of what I average a month.

I'm wondering if it was just a one off thing or whether others have also noticed a boost in sales today/yesterday.

Doing a search on DT looking for the placement of one one of my images, I was shocked to find that it had been copied by another member, cteconsulting.  I had this person listed as a favourite and had interacted with him on several ocassions, even complimenting his work and his ability to pump out so many images so quickly.  I now know why he can do this!

These are the images I'm referring to:



I immediately contacted DT support and they removed the image so I was pleased about that.   I later found the image on several microstock sites and have contacted or are still in the process of contacting them.  So far the image has been removed from Dreamstime, Fotolia, Shutterstock, 123RF and Canstock.  I'm still waiting to hear back on a few more and there are still probably sites I haven't found yet.

I just want to say how pleased I am that the microstock agents have taken this matter seriously and have acted the way I would expect them to so thank you microstock agents for looking out for me... even though I am only small fry
