I can't for the life of me find it. Do they purposely bury it so deep so you (or your attorney) can't refer to it?
AND - today is 30 days for me and 70 photos still on Thinkstock and Photos.com. Do I send take-down notices to them, or Istock? Do I send 70 notices or do I send all of the numbers in one. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow they are gone and I won't have to worry about it. I just want them off those sites before the next PP cycle.

I sent a site-mail to Contributor Relations with Thinkstock image numbers to get images removed the last time that was necessary. They were quite good about it. If you are closing your account, I would wait until you have verified that all content has gone.

Lots went on their own. For those which didn't, I made a list of numbers and opened an iStock support ticket. They were gone within a day after that. This (http://www.microstockgroup.com/istockphoto-com/removing-photo-from-thinkstock/msg296604/#msg296604) is how I made the list.

Thanks Pinocchio & Joanne.

Yes, good advice. I had no Istock photos for the whole month of Feb but will not close account until Feb PP comes in.
My biggest concern - because of who we are dealing with - is that a bomb of returns will be clawed back before final payout!

Where is the ASA? Does it matter anymore? They keep changing the terms without our formal consent and constantly breaching the terms anyway. Latest one, not getting the GI payment at end of the month because they were "busy"!

Just whoa there.
We're not allowed to complain about this.
We have to gush about how grateful we are about actually being told that they can't report our sales in a timely manner.
:P

In incredibly news, GI images aren't now due to come through until Monday, but OLB posted in the exclusive forum GI thread:
"Just spoke with the Finance team and they are willing to extend the cutoff time to Tuesday morning at 11am MST."
Of course, that's the right thing to do, and credit where it's due. I have to admit, I didn't think they would do it.
One move in the right direction, even if I personally don't get any GI sales.
