Title: Help to understand this sale
Post by: christiano on April 26, 2022, 10:23

Hi, I had a sale on Alamy :
"Country: Worldwide
Usage: Magazines and books
45 MB
4592 x 3448 pixels
2 MB compressed
Start: 25 April 2022
Duration: In perpetuity"

Can you help me understand what start date and perpetuity mean? I did not receive a large amount for this sale... will I receive an amount each year? or is it a one shot deal?

thanks

Chris

My interpretation and my experience, it's one license fee and forever. I've never had any future commissions on one of these type licenses, that's why I'd say, one time use, one fee, forever.
