I've just uploaded my first set of pictures for assessment by 123RF. Three of them have been rejected for lacking a property release. Two were architectural photos of terraced houses (multiple houses, multiple owners, cloned out house numbers and other ID and copyright marks). The third was of a single bow window with no identification as to the property to which it belonged (it could be almost anywhere in the world). All the images were taken from public roads.

I was astonished that 123RF regards these as requiring a property release at all.

I was more perturbed to find that multitudes of  similar phtos already in the library had no property release anyway.

I'm now deeply worried about submitting to an agency which imposes a draconian policy which goes far beyond the policies  of almost all other, presumably responsible and well advised, agencies. It even goes beyond 123RF's own stated policy.  If this is what I encounter on the first go What other surprises await when I submit in future?

Perhaps more to the point, do I want to submit to a site where I am not competing on a level playing field? If new submissions are being rejected under this draconian policy, they must surely delete exisitng non-compliant images too in the interest of both fairness and avoiding potential legal pitfalls.

I'm waiting for an official response to my query to Support on this matter but I suspect it's just a matter of time before I delete my few submissions and leave 123RF to whatever fate has in store

Hey JoeClemson,

Our reviewer has re-evaluated the rejected images. It's advisable to attach a Property Release on the rejected images. Based on our New Property Release Guidelines, a Property Release is required if any building exterior is the "Main Focus" of the Image.

We have made our Policy more stringent to avoid any legal issue that may arise in the future to safeguard our contributors. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for your understanding.


Cheers,
Anglee

Hi Anglee

Still no response from anyone i.r.o. my inquiries dated 9/29/11 and follow up on 10/5/11? Very concerning, especially as my sales virtually stopped after I lowered my payout value for the moment in a bid to obtain payment.

Hi CD123,

Kindly check your Forum inbox.

Anglee

I have an offtopic question (but it's still regarding earnings), I'll ask it here so that I won't open a new thread just for this simple question; what does CEL stand for? I sure like the return, 123RF you  rock!

Hey Slovenian,

CEL stand for Comprehensive Extended License. You can view the license details at http://www.123rf.com/license.php?type=enhanced .

Have a pleasant day.


Cheers,
Anglee

Hey Drop,
