"Licenses issued by Playstock for any of your Content that is later removed by yourself will remain in full force and effect in perpetuity."

Yea, NO!!


"Any user who fails to provide accurate and sufficient information required for the Company to deliver royalties from their Content may not be compensated even if their Content has been sold, and the amount that has not been issued will be returned to the Company during year-end adjustments."

Yea, NO!!

"Playstock shall have the right to retain any unissued royalties and/or other compensation when you terminate your account." I would rethink this. It's a bad, unfair message sent to contributors.

Well, to be fair, that�s true of all agencies.

Mainly true. Motion Elements is two Years. I just completed my two years post account closing and was finally able to delete my already sold vids that were locked for that two years.

You're muddling a hold on your work - to continue licensing it after you want to leave - with the validity of licenses sold while you're active (every RF site does this). However, look at this language in the contributor TOS:

"Any Content uploaded through the pre-launch (Upload Bonus) event cannot be removed, and in cases where you suspend your account for personal reasons the Company has the right to retrieve the previously issued Upload Bonus payment."

I'd echo the comments above: uploading to a site that hasn't said anything about pricing is insane. Don't do it!

Looking at the contributor TOS and the TOS, it looks as though many details have yet to be worked out (such as which payment services will be supported - "Online payment processing services, such as Paypal and Payoneer will be used.").

https://www.playstock.net/contributor-terms-of-service

https://www.playstock.net/terms-of-service

Odd sections from the Contributor TOS include things like this at the end of the list of things you may not upload:

"Other insignificant, personal Content that the Company deems is misfit for the Site"

I have no clue what that would be referring to

There's also some VAT related wording that says if VAT is owed, the contributor is on the hook to pay it, not the agency.

In the TOS, it says you can't change your account email!

"You maintain sole access and control over all details in your personal profile and may alter these information at any point of use. However, you may NOT modify your email address and username required for Service management.:

They will not register "Accounts that reflect discrimination and hate, racism, abomination and pornography, violence of any sort"

I would stay far away...

You can not be serious? No one in their right mind will upload anything before you publish your royalty rates and pricing model. Why not do it here and now??

$9 given away so far

If you assume $1 per clip bonus (it's 50 cents to $1.50), that's 9 clips...

STAY AWAY

Doesn't it mean that buyers who bought a license, will keep that license even if you remove your videos from the platform? Cause that's pretty obvious and fair. You cannot revoke a license a customer paid for.

I am merely relaying you the terms set forth by ME. Those were the terms.  I deleted my content in compliance with the terms.

Sorry for the confusion, I was talking about the PlayStock term you mentioned; my point is, if PlayStock issues a license to a customer for your video, and you later remove your video, then the purchased license should still remain valid for the customer.

The red dog must be muzzled, all I can hear are crickets replying.

Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

I hope they are ready to pay the whole amount to one or two people (maybe through several fake accounts) who will upload a shed load of stolen images just to pocket the money. No legitimate contributor would consider this.

Jo-Ann I am not sure banner is working in real time.

Perhaps not real time, but it has adjusted this morning - it's down to $19,990

The only thing Cliffordthebigreddog has posted about is his new site.

Sadly, he'll probably get submissions, even without posting anything about pricing.

I regularly see posts in various forums from newbie photographers who didn't read the details before submitting their work somewhere.

You've seen them:  "I had a sale but I only got fifty cents!"

He'll get those people.

And like the person from another forum who was extremely unhappy because they had asked Shutterstock to close their account "last night, and the files are still up this morning".
