Title: Dreamstime now accepting digital releases
Post by: lisafx on November 06, 2012, 09:52
Here's the thread:

And the relevant text:

Starting today, we have adjusted our terms in order to accept digital releases produced by the following apps:
iOS - Model Release, ASMP Release, Easy Release
Android - Easy Release

Each of the apps will make the required fields mandatory so I will not mention them here, you already know them. Thanks to a change in our terms, releases that contain the following paragraph are now acceptable (for both digital and printed MRs):
I agree that this release is irrevocable, worldwide and perpetual, and will be governed by the laws (excluding the law of conflicts) of the country/state from the following list that are nearest to the address of the Model (or Parent) given opposite: New York, Alberta, England, Australia and New Zealand.

Consequently, the following refusal reasons will no longer be used:
Your MR document is governed by the laws of a different country than the model's or photographer's and other than US. The model release represents a written agreement between the model and the photographer, therefore it must be governed by the laws of the country/state where one of the parties resides. Alternatively it can be governed by US laws or international (generic, not country related).


This should be good news for people who have previously had images rejected because of the above language in their releases.   :)

but of course not Top Model, which is what iStock recommended?
