So I have been trying to wrap my brain around SS pricing and payout. For the longest time I thought Single & Other Downloads was an Enhanced License but it's not. When you look at their plans they offer Customers, Single & Other Downloads isn't really part of those plans but instead more of a personal case by case plan for big companies I assume?
So for instance if I get a $90 Single & Other Downloads sale I have received 30% based on my lifetime earnings. That means that the actual sale was $300 total, So what kind of sale is that, I can only assume its similar to the Enhanced License, the largest screen size at 300 dpi Tiff but with some special Licensing agreement?
And if so what kind of agreement would that be that does not already fall under the already all encompassing Enhanced License Agreement?
Thanks

Sensitive use

Custom licenses for larger customers. I would like contributors to have general information about the types of licenses, but SS has been asked and won't do it.
Given some of my SOD licenses have been for isolated objects (like a tin can), it is more than just sensitive use. At one point I think they said that opting out of sensitive use would exclude your images from these licenses, but I don't know if that's still the case.

Most of my SOD have also been objects so I am thinking that they are for something else as well but I can not figure out what.

SS has agreements with large customers—ad agencies, for example—where they pay hundreds of dollars for images. I'm not exactly sure what comes wrapped up with it...additional legal assurances? Extended use? But they pay much more than the average buyer. It does not mean your image will necessarily be used for sensitive purposes...more likely it will be used in an ad campaign or something like that.

Probably some of that where, in comparison, IS, illegally, and in contravention of their licence agreement, trousers the entire amount.
