2 people managing 1 account from different countries

[GibbonMonkey]

Hello! I wanted to make sure that it is not against the policies and guidelines for 2 people from different countries to manage 1 stock contributor account.

Thank you!

If you have read and signed the Adobe Stock Contributor agreement the answer should be obvious to you.  No, multiple people cannot share one account since you must agree that you have full right to and ownership of every image you upload.

Thank you for your answer!

I have read the Adobe Stock Contributor agreement and it was not completely clear to me. At a glance it does not explicitly prohibit two people from collaborating on one account, but it does imply that the account holder (the person who has agreed to the terms) is ultimately responsible for all submitted content. I might, however, be wrong and will be contacting Adobe support directly for clarification.

Kind Regards

By @GibbonMonkey

It does not explicitly prohibit different people contributing. There exist indeed corporate accounts. But the rules are strict. The account holder (the corporation) needs to hold all the rights. So the individual artists give up all their rights. The company needs to submit a different tax form, and the company is responsible for the actions of their colaborators. And their colaborators are company employees and get paid by the company for their work.

If you are indeed two individuals you should open two accounts, one for each person. That will be easy straight and clean. Each one of you submit their own tax form and each one works on his own portfolio. That does not prohibit you to collaborate on other activities.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. It clarifies things significantly!

Kind Regards

Why?  Who's name is on the account?  Who pays the taxes?  Who owns the content?

Do not submit images by other artists without a signed property release giving you full copyright ownership.
