Gekko's Rights-managed price structure
Gekko provides a simplified Rights-managed process in order to make it easier for clients to purchase Rights-managed photography. The basic criteria is:
- How big is the image?
- How is the photograph to be used?
- Where will it be used?
- How long is the licence for?
By simplifying the purchase process in this way Gekko Images is able to offer a client-friendly way to purchase Rights-managed photographs. Many customers find the whole licence negotiation process difficult and time consuming, hence their preference for RF images whereever possible. Our process is designed to make the process a easy as possible.
The Gekko RM price calculator makes it easy for clients to quickly obtain a quote, purchase and download RM images.
Getting paid
Gekko will automatically pay you on the 15th of each month for sales that occurred in the previous month that have been remitted by the client as part of our standard terms. Payment is paid via electronic funds transfer directly into you designated bank account. An up to the minute account preview is provided to you in your account management page.
