Just recieved my first licence sale on shutterstock and I was curious what they are for? How do they differ from the normal license and is it always a flat 28 bucks for the sale or does it go up just like the rest of the payouts with your raises?
Part of the reason why I'm curious also is the image that was used

My own opinion it wasn't that great of an image and was kind of a toss together shot in a matter of a few moments. What would someone pay that much money for?

what I do like is that the contract really protects us against any refunds or returns unlike a few companies that seem to give refunds like no tomorrow!

Actually, it doesn't:
