We have made some changes to Alamy’s Contributor Contract and as per our terms we are giving contributors 45 days notice of these changes.
The key changes are listed on the notice board.
We advise all contributors to review
the new contract.
The changes take effect on January 10th 2009, 45 days from November 26th 2008. We recommend that contributors read through the changes thoroughly and print off a copy of the new contract for their records, there is no need for any further action.
The key reason for issuing a new contract is the 5% increase in Alamy's commission on all commission schedules as previously announced on our blog.
The following commission splits will apply from January 10th:
- Alamy Blue: Alamy commission 40%, Contributor commission 60%
- Alamy Red: Alamy commission 20%, Contributor commission 80% storage fees and submission fees still apply
- Alamy Green: Alamy commission 30%, Contributor commission 70% storage fees still apply
Payment fees on all commission schedules will also be discontinued.
We have taken this opportunity to rewrite elements of the contract and hope that contributors agree that it is now much easier to follow.
We endeavour to keep changes to a minimum and continue to follow the principle of offering a fair and reasonable contract.
Under the terms of the contract contributors can terminate immediately during the 45 day window between November 26th 2008 and January 10th 2009, thereafter they must give Alamy 45 days notice if they wish to terminate.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Member Services.
Contributors will also be sent an email regarding the change. This will be sent to the email address registered with your account. We ask that contributors take a moment to double check that the email address is still valid and that our emails aren’t being sent to a junk folder.
