StockXpert will cease regular operations. As of today we will no longer be accepting new uploads or signing up new members. Any uploads that are currently in the queue will continue to be reviewed until February 10, 2010. Then, on February 11, searching and downloading will cease.
The StockXpert website will continue to exist and will be accessible after this date for certain functions. You will still be able to access all of your account information, download history, and purchase receipts. SXP will still function for contributor payouts. And if you contribute images to the soon-to-be launched Getty Images subscription site we announced last month, you will still receive your royalties through your SXP account. If you aren't receiving any new royalties from the subscription site, you can request a one-time final payout by contacting Support.
We will do whatever we can to make the process run smoothly for all of our members. All StockXpert customers will be able to transfer their remaining SXP credits to iStockphoto, where they will be honored on a 1 for 1 basis. To transfer your credits, make sure you are logged in to your SXP account and follow the link from the
iStockphoto ad on the front page. You will receive an email outlining the complete details of the credit transfer.
If you aren't already an
iStockphoto member, we encourage you to sign up and get involved.
None of these changes will have any effect on our free site StockXchng. SXC continues to be the number one resource for your free image needs.
Thank you for all of your hard work, enthusiasm, and support over the years. We wish everyone who has participated in StockXpert the very best in the future, and we look forward to seeing you at iStockphoto. If you have any questions at all, please contact our Support team.
