[locked] Is this a violation of the terms and conditions?

[efficient_dusk3055]

I have a total of three computer devices. I have three Adobe Stock accounts on three devices and work with vectors on all of them. Three computers run through a WiFi network. Will there be any kind of IP violation? please inform

If I understand your question correctly, it's not about an IP violation. You have three accounts that include all vectors. Maybe to get around upload limits? That would be cause for having your accounts banned. It has nothing to do with your network.

In this forum, IP normally means Intellectual Property, but I suppose you're referring to Internet Protocol. Adobe doesn't care how many computers you are using to submit stock and whether they're all on the same network.

However, running 3 Adobe Stock accounts submitting vectors is most definitely a violation of the Adobe Stock Guidelines. You can only have one account on which you submit vectors. You are running the risk of having all of your accounts shut down to a violation of the terms. I suggest you immediately delete all of the content on 2 of those accounts, and re-upload to just 1 account.

I want to explain that I have three computers under one Wifi. Each has an Adobe account and uploads vectors to all.

In this case, let us know if there is any possibility of IP violation or account blocking.

I think we've answered this question. You are violated Adobe's T&Cs. I suspect that when you attempt to get a payout, Adobe will see you have multiple accounts to which you are uploading the same types of assets and your account(s) will be blocked. 

[efficient_dusk3055]

The payment methods are different for the all devices.

[daniellei4510 · Accepted solution]

So you've submitted a different tax form for all devices? You're breaking the T&Cs. It's that simple. Unless we are confused about your question, what you are doing will get all of your accounts blocked.

[efficient_dusk3055]

I have an Adobe Stock Contributor account on each of my devices and share the vector files on all of them. I have added different payment methods in all of them. Tax submission has been given separately.

[daniellei4510 · Accepted solution]

You need to listen. Your tax information will let Adobe know that you have multiple accounts. And when you withdraw your first payment, Adobe will figure it out and your accounts will be blocked. It may happen in days, weeks, or even months. But it will happen. YOU ARE VIOLATING ADOBE'S T&Cs. Plain and simple.

[efficient_dusk3055]

Why don't you understand my question? I am saying that my tax information is different and payment method is also different and device is also different. So, why will the account be blocked? Please give the correct answer.

[daniellei4510 · Accepted solution]

If your tax information is different, you've committed a T&C violation. But I'm done. We're trying to help. Good luck.

The tax form is an official form that you submit to the IRS via Adobe. The information on that form needs to be to be correct, if you do not want to commit tax fraud. Tax fraud is more then just a simple violation of the Adobe terms. 

It is against Adobe's established policy to submit the same type of assets to different accounts, regardless, of the fact that you will use different payment methods. It is also against the terms and conditions of your contributor account to submit tax forms that do not reflect the truth. 

In conclusion, Adobe will detect that your accounts are driven by one and the same person. Adobe will detect that your 3 accounts submit the same type of assets. And by that, Adobe will block your accounts. That is the correct answer.

The only thing we can't answer is, when exactly this will happen. 

You're welcome.
