Background of Agreement
If you have access to this Agreement, you qualify for the exclusivity program of iStock whereby in return for increased compensation, artists agree to provide exclusivity to iStock for elements of the visual content produced by them. Because iStock offers different categories of content, this agreement may differentiate among categories of content that you produce, such as still photography, which includes all raster files (for greater clarity, raster files include, but are not limited to, photographs, 3D renders, photographs of works of art that otherwise meet iStock standards and digital scans) (collectively, “Photo Content”), illustrations (for greater clarity, illustrations include all vector files) (“Illustration Content”), or video files, animations (“Video Content”) and related material produced by Supplier. Exclusivity with respect to one or more categories of Exclusive Content (as defined below) depends on your qualification under each such category, and to the selection of the chosen categories under the “Exclusivity” portion of the preferences panel in your account profile on the Site. If you do not wish to provide such exclusivity, but wish to provide royalty-free stock Content on a non-exclusive basis, the correct agreement can be found here. Changing the file type of Exclusive Content (for example creating a vector file from an exclusive 3D raster file) does not enable otherwise Exclusive Content to become non-exclusive Content.
