Title: Waiting for 30 day period to expire?
Post by: tridgers on September 08, 2013, 06:14

I've recently asked to leave exclusivity at Dreamstime and i've just been accepted at Istock. I know that i have to wait 30 days (about 2 weeks left) before i can sell photos on other stock sites, but would this agreement be breached if i uploaded photos to Istock but didn't make them public during this 30 day period?

I've heard and read that this is possible to do with Shutterstock (where i should be hearing back from my application soon) but i can't seem to find anything related to Istock. I obviously don't want to breach my agreement with Dreamstime but 2 weeks is a long time to wait if it is possible.

Thanks

No, you can't do that with iStock.

curiously Yuri still has portfolio at DT after almost 4 months of being exclusive at iStock, that distribution team is really slacking off, thank god Professionals are patient with Professionals ;D
