If your images are active, they might all have that promo on them. I deleted all my images, so I can’t check if it’s on mine, but I suspect everyone will have that “download for free trial” text next to their image. If you don’t want SS giving your images away, the best thing to do is delete your images and close your account. It’s clear they are playing games with people’s property. I don’t know why people are ok to continue doing business with such an untrustworthy company.If you disable your photos, search for that image as a buyer and try to download it, you will likely get the same message Noedelhap got, because your images are disabled.

I disabled my account again because also when deleted, the image-thumbs were always in my catalog manager. Clicking on them, I could see the corresponding image not anymore, but seeing my port as buyer I discovered the images (deleted) always free to download.

As I understand, it seems that there is the possibility of free downloading in images that are disabled for sale, that is, they can be downloaded if for promotion of new customers, free, without paying, images disabled for sale, enabled for promotional download fully free? It is actually a very interesting thread. The images serve to promote SS without receiving money for them, not sales, but free. Am I getting it right? Can you confirm this situation? Thank you.
Quote from: Mantis on July 11, 2020, 08:52I am getting this message when deleting videos. Is this another threat? I could not find anything in the terms about never being allowed to upload again.I had a quick re-read of the Contributor Terms of Service and the Submitter Guidelines and I don't see anything on that topic either (I did a search for delete and remove as well). If you click on the terms link, which document does it take you to (I can't check as my account is disabled)?I think they're discouraging deletion of content, but that's a pretty sleazy move if the terms really don't disallow uploading again

I clicked on your link above. I am logged into SS as a buyer. When I click the download button, it says contact support for assistance. That seems to indicate that yes, your images are disabled, and if I want it, I need to talk to them.The SS contributor agreement says they can sell your images for 90 days (or some reasonable time) after you disable your account because some buyers may have used a lo rez thumbnail in a comp, and then want to buy the high rez.SHUTTERSTOCK TERMS“Following the removal of any item of Content from Shutterstock, Shutterstock may amend any existing licenses to such Content for a reasonable period thereafter, for instance to support customers who may have previously activated a "comp" license.”Section e under Accountshttps://submit.shutterstock.com/legal/termsRemember, disabling your account doesn’t happen instantaneously. For instance, if you have 5,000 images, they might disable 100 at a time or something. When I was deleting mine, I had to wait until the next day for an accurate count, until the server updated.
So shutterstock just put in a message that once you disable content you can't turn it on for 30 days. And that it'll negatively affect performanceWow, these people just don't let up on the arm twisting and scare tactics. Since when did having a fair dialog go out of styleSent from my HD1901 using Tapatalk
