Question 1 Explanation: Exclusivity

When a photographer uploads an image to Fotolia, they determine how the image will be sold. This is decided by answering two simple questions. This article discusses the issue of exclusivity in question number one.

Question 1

Do you wish to give Fotolia exclusivity on the sale of this photograph?

• Yes
  
• No
  

By granting Fotolia exclusivity for the commercial management of the photograph, the photographer guarantees that the image is not currently and will not be placed with another photo agency for sale. If the photographer provides Fotolia with exclusivity, Fotolia will be the only agency receiving benefits for the management of the photo according to the laws of the contract.

Photographers who grant Fotolia with the exclusive sale of the image will receive:

• A higher commission (at least 50% for print and web use sales)
  
• The ability to sell the image for Exclusive Buyout. A buyer may use the image on a product and sell that product (such as a book, calendar, posters ect.)
  

If the photographer chooses not to offer exclusivity to Fotolia for marketing the photograph then the photographer may not sell the image for exclusive buyout under question number 2.

If a photographer leaves or cancels the contract with Fotolia the image will be removed that same day and the photographer must adhere to the “non-compete period” of three months for the image(s) in question. This clause is obviously valid only if the photographer provides Fotolia with exclusivity for selling the image.

This three month period has been defined in order to guarantee "Fotolia Exclusivity" which guarantees the buyer that the image can only be found on Fotolia
