Title: Terms of submission (Help needed in clarifying)
Post by: defacto on July 11, 2017, 07:48
Guys,

Anyone care to enlighten on this particular clause of submission.

"You agree that user content will be displayed, hosted and stored by or on behalf of Getty Images, but may be withdrawn at any point by Getty Images, acting in its sole discretion six (6) months after submission. No copies of user content will be returned, during or after such time period."

Doesn't sound quite fair to me, basis my understanding. Am planning to apply, but am abit put off by this statement.

Sounds 100% fair, although I'm not sure what the 6 months bit is all about. They're just saying that if they don't want your stuff on their site, then they don't have to have it on their site... which is a common 'clause' (and right) of all agencies. As for the returned copies, as it's a digital product which you uploaded in the first place... they're just saying they don't have to send you back a copy if requested. Probably to avoid such situations...

It's the 15% they pay you, low sales volume, almost no QC, tedious time consuming upload procedure and many other problems that should put you off :)
