Photos are usually approved within 12-24 hours. During heavy times, it could take a few days at most to get approval for a photo.

Do you protect my photos from theft?
We watermark all images on our public server. Surfers and guests view comp images until they pay to download the actual photo - at which point your account is credited for the download.

Is there a minimum payout?
Yes, you must accumulate at least $100 to be paid. If you close your account before your earnings reach $75, you will forfeit those earnings.

Do you offer refunds?
Once your purchase is made we can not offer a refund. The reason for this policy is because we offer full access to our entire digital collection of photos and, as such, there is no way for our products to be returned. On a rare occasion we will make exceptions on a case by case basis.

Are there any limits to how or what I can use the photo for?
See the Licensing for full details - basically, most uses are permitted except reselling or posting them as stock images, or anything that defames or slanders the models in the photo.

You will not want to use them in logos either because you'll probably want the copyright to the logo.. and the photographer will still hold the copyright to the photo you have integrated into your logo.. so that might not work for you.

Some photos are OK for virtually any use, whereas others may be intended more for editorial purposes, and some uses not be permitted unless your usage falls under Fair Use laws.

The responsibility of determining whether your use is legal is yours, since it's impossible for Global Photos Source Photo Agency to know what your planned usage for the photo is.

If I purchase a subscription are there any other fees I will encounter when downloading from the site?
No, an unlimited membership allows you full access to download any photos on our site at no extra charge.

Are there any fees for creating something, a product of some kind, and selling multiple copies of my product?
No. Just don't sell them as a stock image or alone, but it may be included in a work or product as long as the photo comprises 50% or less of the product.

Examples of prohibited uses: Re-painting the photo exactly and selling it, printing the photo on card stock and selling it as a greeting card. In these cases the photo is more than 50% of the value of the item.

I create and sell web site templates... do I have to purchase the photo once per template I create? Yes. Each template you create is a product. You should purchase the photo once for each new, individual product you create. You can resell the template as many times as you like but you owe it to the generous photographers to pay for the photo each time you put it into a new product.
