Future Exclusivity
What is Future Exclusivity?
Future Exclusivity is an optional add-on that temporarily removes an image or video from sale after your purchase.
When enabled, the content will no longer be available for new licensing during your selected time period—helping reduce the chance of overlapping usage.
What does it do?
When you purchase Future Exclusivity:
- The image or video is taken off the marketplace
- No new customers can license it during your exclusivity period
- You gain a time-limited advantage in usage
This is especially useful for:
- Campaign rollouts
- Training materials
- Internal documentation
- Brand-sensitive visuals
What it does not do
Future Exclusivity applies from the moment you purchase it forward.
It does not:
- Cancel or override any licenses issued before your purchase
- Guarantee that the content has never been used before
- Transfer ownership of the content
Any previous buyers may continue using the content under their existing license terms.
Why use Future Exclusivity?
In most stock marketplaces, content remains available to anyone at any time.
Future Exclusivity gives you more control by:
- Preventing new usage by others
- Reducing duplication across competitors or teams
- Keeping your visuals more distinct during active use
How long does it last?
You can choose the duration at checkout (e.g., 30 days, 90 days, or longer).
Once the exclusivity period ends:
- The content becomes available for licensing again
- No further restrictions apply
When should I use it?
Future Exclusivity is a good fit if:
- You want to limit new usage during a launch or rollout
- You’re using visuals in high-visibility materials
- You want added confidence that the content won’t be newly reused elsewhere
Summary
Future Exclusivity provides temporary, forward-looking exclusivity.
It helps prevent new licensing during your usage period—but does not affect any past licenses.
