Contributors beware - this agency robs you

Like many contributors here, I got a very poor experience with this stock agency. I have been chasing my final invoice for the past 2 years. Their delay tactic is to come up with different excuses and asking to keep sending an updated invoice and then months go by without any response. Followups result in no communication. Their payment system is antiquated. So finally my patience has run out and have started legal proceedings against them. They will be receiving a much bigger bill than if they had just paid the invoice.

I was an age contributing photographer…

I was an age contributing photographer for years. After several years of no sales I cancelled my contract and asked for my original slides to be returned to me (as specified in the contract). I repeatedly asked them to return my art to me. Silence. Do not do business with this company.

Their response to my review only highlights why you shouldn’t do business with them.

And luckily, you are not a photographer anymore. Contracts that you signed, and you refer to --you signed three contracts--, say the following:
Clause 5, point 5.5 "...the photographer agrees that none of the images submitted to agefotostock are unique, truly rare or irreplaceable and if so, such images shall only be provided to agefotostock in the form of appropriately labeled reproduction quality copies of the originals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Photographer (you, Ryan) agrees that agefotostock shall not be liable for any loss, theft damage, or deterioration of any Photographer´s images..."
Did you ever read what you signed, Ryan? Or you are annoyed because you don´t read and don´t understand.
+ + +
Your response to my remarks shows that you didn´t read a contract you signed, no matter what you want to say here. So, better concentrate on answering why you wanted to get back "art" that you have accepted "that none of the images submitted to agefotostock are unique, truly rare or irreplaceable" The question is if your "art" was so valuable, why you didn´t send a copy.

Bunch of thieves

Quote: "Handling of the art pictures
The pictures are clear and in a good size. the download is easy and quick, also the downlod of zip folders is nicely to open.
Thanks a lot for the good service"

Just a pity those thieves don't pay their photographers. That criminal of a CEO owes me 13 unpaid invoices. LOTS of photographers are in the same situation which means this coward (doesn't dare to communicate anymore) took thousands of dollars illegally by breaching his own contracts. Worst company in the business.

Alfonso, stop acting like the prime meridian passes through your ass. You're pathetic. We write to you and complain, but you're too much of a coward to reply. You got so bombarded with complaints you even blocked your facebook page. You're nothing but a criminal, an ordinary thief.

Can't talk to them and poor publishing rights offered

The fact that you can't call them makes dealing with agefotostock very difficult. They seem to be unable to offer the publishing rights that we require at Usborne Publishing, and those rights that are on offer are crazy expensive.

Can´t talk to us? If you are in the UK, our Spanish, or US office, numbers are on our web (www.agefotostock.com). Please check. On top we answer emails and have a chat that you can try. Regarding prices, we try to be a bit higher than microstock, but we also can match their prices when the situation requires them. We´ll be delighted to talk with you.
Many thanks,

I just lost money, seems to be a scam

After I purchased a license for an image very important to me, there was an error and it would not download. It seems like I lost about $70. Very upsetting.

Hard to help if you don´t refer to us the details of your purchase. Any details that we can track back this issue?

Agefotostock is not paying to its contributors. Very negative experience with this company, avoid at all cost. I have contributed photos to photo agencies since the early 1990s and Agefotostock is easily among the very worst of them.

$45.00 for one image is too expensive

$45.00 for one image is too expensive. I purchased from the wrong site.

It is clear that if you had been the photographer that took it, you would have said that it was too cheap.
Thanks for the one star you gave us for it.

Agefotostock are thieves who sell photographers images and keep all the money.
I and other creators have unpaid invoices going back years that are left unpaid.
They don't even respond to emails, nothing just silence.
How these people sleep at night let alone stay in business is beyond me. It's theft, plain and simple...
In reply to agefotostock's response to this review on 24/05/2023 I have resent the unpaid invoice from August 2022. I will report back if they pay or not.
