Adobe Terms
Pixart:
Signing onto Adobe today and I'm asked to agree to terms. Anyone know if something has changed or is this something that wasn't agreed to with the Fotolia/Adobe merge?
Is 62. new? I thought I could pull the plug at any time and no waiting period.
62 Managing Your Work. You may remove any of your Work from the Website at any time, provided, however, that you do not remove more than 100 items of Work or 10% of your Work, whichever is greater, in any 90-day period without 90 days' prior written notice to Adobe. We may remove Work or terminate your account at our sole discretion without prior notice.
And 9.1. As a Canadian - has this always been the case? Does a Canadian Company pay me and how do I receive a T-5?
9.1. Relationship. If you reside in the United States, your relationship is with Adobe Systems Incorporated, a United States company. If you reside outside of the United States, your relationship is with Adobe Canada Services Corporation, a Canadian company.

Got the message as well. It was odd in that the "new" terms were dated June 2018.

I just came here to see if I was seeing something odd - as you noted, it's bizarre that terms supposedly 10 months old are suddenly presented in a tiny box requesting our agreement. I intend to read it first - as an example I was not aware that there was a Dreamstime-like requirement to keep a portion of the work online until a 90-day notice had elapsed (edited to add that this isn't new - see below).
It doesn't look as if anyone really took care when writing these terms as paragraph 62 is probably intended to be 6.2 as a sub paragraph of section 6.
I will see if the internet archive can get us prior versions for comparison to see what might have changed.
Here is a July 2016 version of the terms and the 90 day restriction is there, so it's not new. Still looking to see what other versions I can locate

And here's a PDF of the new terms (easier to read than in that minuscule box presented when we try to access our account information)

I really think Mat needs to explain to us what the changes were from the prior version and why we're now being asked to acknowledge our agreement.
JoeClemson:
My first thought is that it is a knee jerk reaction to Pond5 introducing exclusive accounts, which is leading a (significant?) number of contributors to request that all or part of their video portfolio on Adobe is suspended or deleted. Could be a coincidence, but it seems strange that this unannounced change should suddenly appear. I'm not going to accept the change until I see some feedback on here to clarify what is going on.

You always wonder if 10,000 words of terms would stand up in court.
