Title: Why are my images still selling?
Post by: Perry on June 19, 2020, 04:00

I deactivated my portfolio in the end of May, but I noticed a couple of my images had been sold 19/06/2020 ($7.80). Why? What?

Possibly (?) T&C 4e "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."

What is a "comp" license?

Shutterstock allows large enterprises to place unwatermarked images in comps, aka comprehensives, aka mockups, for presentation purposes. Once the work is approved, the buyer pays to license the image for use.
