Hello,
As you know, StockXpert.com was recently acquired by Gettyimages as part of the Jupiterimages acquisition. The StockXpert team is now working closely with our new friends to align our application and submission policies to ensure a legally safe and sound marketplace for selling your images.
In the upcoming weeks, we are going to review the entire Stockxpert collection in order to identify and remove any images that infringe on someone's intellectual property. At the same time, we will be tightening our image approval process to filter out images that we simply do not feel comfortable with.
As an example, any future uploads that contain unmodified NASA images will no longer be accepted. These images will also be removed permanently from the Stockxpert collection.
For images that will be removed from the Stockxpert collection for legal reasons, you will receive a deactivation notice to identify the image(s) that are being removed and, the legal reason that prompted the removal.
We will do our best to provide you with as much information as possible on our evolving intellectual property policies and procedures. Also, we will be updating our FAQ section on Stockxpert to highlight changes to our policies and to better reflect our future legal standards.
We look forward to working with all of you and thank you for your continued collaboration to build Stockxpert into a creative resource that designers everywhere can enjoy.
Best Regards,
The Stockxpert Team
