I wonder what kind of conditions were negotiated if buyer paid almost 3x enhanced licence price?

Sensitive use

Hi guys,
Just to be more specific - if you've received one of these larger royalties, it's most likely because the image was sold under our Premier program, which services large buyers such as corporations and major advertising agencies. Those buyers pay more for individual licenses because they get extra features such as prenegotiated pricing, additional legal indemnification, multi-seat accounts, special billing and workflow features, and the option for sensitive use. Typically, these agreements are individually negotiated with each client.
The reality is that very few of these purchases will be used in a sensitive way, even though the license includes this "option." Unlike some other agencies, we provide contributors with the ability to opt-in to sensitive use; opting-in provides access to all sales to these customers. Royalties can be up to $120 or more per license.
Best,

I hope this strategy grows and we start to see these kind of downloads on a more regular basis.

I forgot to mention that it was landscape photo of Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe so it could not be sensitive use :-)
