1. Definitions

The Exclusivity is a status for contributors (authors) who upload and offer their Royalty Free Works only on the DiagramArt.com Website.

This Exclusivity status means that no Work from this contributor is offered for free or for sale on another royalty free stock photography website or on the artist’s own website.

All the contributor’s Works must be exclusively offered for sale or for free on the DiagramArt.com Website.

If one or more Works are offered on DiagramArt in a non-exclusive manner (ie also offered on other websites or agencies), the contributor is not eligible for the Exclusivity status.

To be eligible for the Exclusivity status, the contributor must first remove all his or her Works from all other websites or agencies where the Works are available for sale or download.

Exclusivity status may be set up in the member profile section of the Contributor's account or during the indexing of his or her Works.

2. Effects

An Exclusive Contributor can benefit from higher commissions on each sale (the “Exclusive Commissions”), he or she can also benefit from the ability to raise his or her Works sales price, in accordance with DiagramArt’s Standard pricing and payment policies.
