Title: Can an IS exclusive sell to Alamy also?
Post by: michealo on July 05, 2008, 17:15
If one is an exclusive contributor to IS can one also sell on Alamy within the terms of the IS exclusive agreement?

Istock has an exclusive Royalty free contract, so no you canīt sell royalty free images at alamy, but yes you CAN still sell rights managed images at Alamy or other sites.

uploader, are you sure of this? being exclusive as a contributor means not to contribute to any one else. it never says anything about RF or RM.
if i am exclusive to National Geographic , i don't shoot for any other magazines. ???

It's exclusive for RF images which you cannot submit elsewhere. You can submit separate Rights Managed images elsewhere including Alamy.

This was two clicks from their homepage http://www.istockphoto.com/sell-stock-photos-exclusivity.php (http://www.istockphoto.com/sell-stock-photos-exclusivity.php)

I'm exclusive at IS and I can assure you that he is correct. The IS exclusive contract is for RF (royalty free) only. You can sell images under a rights managed license somewhere else.

In a weird twist of fate, exclusives who are also Getty contributors may find their RF images at Alamy... and yet we can't submit there (not that I want to) on our own except for RM.
