Hi. For the new non-exclusive license agreement are we supposed to check off or write that we agree to the terms at the bottom of the document? Because I don't see where to write this. I tried four different browsers but nothing seems to show anything at the end of the page. I'm confused. I should add that I can see the non-exclusive text/document; I just don't see where I'm supposed to sign it because that part doesn't show up for me.

Hmmmm... not sure why you can't see the box, but here's a screengrab of the bottom of the page (where you type 'I Agree') using Safari on a Mac.

I was able to see it on the exclusive one. It looked just like the screen grab.

As a side note, when I was reading over the agreement, I came to point 7b and remembered prior wonderings about what it could mean. I'm curious whether this will come into play with the new cheap sub site offering, given the vast differences in acceptance standards.

(from 7b of the Exclusive Provider Agreement, emphasis mine)

Quote

You further agree that any Exclusive Content that is not accepted by iStockphoto and does not form Accepted Exclusive Content cannot be sold, licensed or otherwise made available to purchasers, licensees or other potential users without the prior written consent of iStockphoto. iStockphoto reserves the right to sell non-accepted Exclusive Content through another site or distribution venue determined by it, the compensation for which will be subject to a new rate schedule agreed between the parties.

I am opted out for now, but if they start revisiting "not suitable as stock" rejections, I might be interested in opting in some of those.

Thanks. For some bizarre reason, it's showing up now. It's probably some security software that I disabled on my end or something.

I'm opted out too

lisafx · « **Reply #5 on:** June 02, 2009, 17:12 »

I saw it just fine. Opted out, of course.

m@m · « **Reply #6 on:** June 02, 2009, 17:28 »

Me too, Opted out

goldenangel · « **Reply #7 on:** June 02, 2009, 17:45 »

It worked for me. Opted out.

cathyslife · « **Reply #8 on:** June 02, 2009, 17:48 »

opted out

Milinz · « **Reply #9 on:** June 02, 2009, 18:16 »

IE8 don't see it!

Firefox works fine!

So ;-)

OPT-OUT is better for me because I already have over 850 files online on JUI and Photos.com...

Dreamframer · « **Reply #10 on:** June 02, 2009, 18:23 »

Guys, be aware that no matter we opted out there is still checked Opt In in our Control panel/contributor at Istock. Go there, uncheck Opt in and check Opt Out.
Istock admins are looking at this issue and they said they will fix it.

Woohooo!
Nice to be informed!

Thanks Whitechild - much appreciated!

goldenangel · « **Reply #12 on:** June 02, 2009, 18:26 »

Thanks Whitechild! Opt in was also checked for me even though I opted out. For some reason even extended license and Allow Prints options were not correct as well. It is probably a good idea to check it once more, when the issue is fixed.

Milinz · « **Reply #13 on:** June 02, 2009, 18:27 »

At my side there was opt out checked - so all is fine

m@m · « **Reply #14 on:** June 02, 2009, 18:41 »

Thanks much Whitechild, good info!

Whohoho

In first task what you are talking about they say a lot of, eg cmon guys lets do it for our wealth (I mean they wealth with long an detailed description)

Second task something about getty I dont realise but is in words half shorter in description and tooooooo much colder than first.

Third - Extended licence??? what???
All time I was there I am wondering when the iStock will sell something from my port for some price like EL on Shutter, Dream, Fotolia, 123 even CanStock sell one for 20 bucks but iStock NEVER.
Maybe for this for me hidden feature on iStock. (in this case is mising -Read this first)

Fourth-Prints
The same as third
missing (Read this first???)

Anyhow this two questions like check marks are visible on every upload (normally without-Read this first)
Now I have doubt that in this hidden answers they are selling my images in other licences and paying me fix 20% of royalty of basic contract, not that 20% what they get from buyers???
PLS tell me that I was wrong and its just my bad dream...

When I sign up at end of the list of "big 6" last 2 has eg 5 od 10 different licences and most of the time I see that they sold the same image with different price like licence.

PLS dont tell me that on iStock this things are not same or simplified. On iStock I only see that same images are selling for same price???
PLS dont tell me that checking box Extendend licence means that they can sell my image for 20 bucks or more and I receive only 1 or maybe 2 or 3.
PLS dont tell me that allowing prints means nearly the same.......

What a surprise!

stacey_newman · « **Reply #18 on:** June 02, 2009, 22:24 »

this type of post ^ is petty and unnecessary. this has been a tough and divisive issue. the least we can do is respect one another's decisions.

bittersweet · « **Reply #19 on:** June 02, 2009, 23:10 »

I'm glad someone here is opted in. Hopefully you'll keep us posted on how it's working out for you overall?

stacey_newman · « **Reply #20 on:** June 02, 2009, 23:25 »

yes, i'll keep you posted. if it works out, I won't be saying I told you so. I'll simply be glad it worked out. if it doesn't work out, let's hope we're not worse off. I think opting out is a misguided decision, but an understandable one given the uncertainty and the as yet unproven differentiation of buyers between istock and photos.com

in any case, I'm not evangelizing my decision. it is a tough call for all of us. no one here wants to contribute to the end of iStock. so we all have to do what we think is best. I personally believe they know what they are doing and they have every interest in protecting iStock's business, so that being said, I want in on the ground floor of this program. hope I'm not wrong.

no offense , what are the implications on opting in?

It is also a different decision for exclusive and non-exclusive contributors. Non exclusives have more reasons to opt out, one of them being they can get more for the same image through StockXpert.

I'm opted in too!

bittersweet · « **Reply #24 on:** June 03, 2009, 06:30 »

When I first read the note last night I thought it was saying that opting in would automatically sweep all the eligible files into the other sites. When I realized that wasn't the case, I did go through and opt a few in. They are files that were reactivated from dollar bin, or that I had at one time deactivated myself because they were total crap and not up to par with the slightly less crappy work that's in my portfolio now.

I did remove these particular images from istock though. I don't think I want them in both places at the same time. For those who opted in, did you leave your files on istock as well?
