Downloading files
To buy a file, simply add the file to the shopping cart, select a license, and click on the continue button. If there are enough credits in the account you will proceed to the download page. Additional credits may need to be purchased before you can download the file.
Credits are subtracted from the account after clicking on the file download link. The link is available for one 24 hour period starting from the first download.
During this period, you can download the file as many times as needed. When the image is downloaded, there are no refunds due to the reproducible nature of the downloaded file.

When a contributor chooses to sell a file exclusively through PaidPic, the minimum commission earned is 50% of the sales price. The contributor may earn additional commission depending on the contributors rank.
When a contributor chooses to sell an image non-exclusively through PaidPic, the minimum commission earned is 33% of the sales price. The contributor may earn additional commission depending on the contributors rank.
The tables below outline the license, resolution, commission, and price range a contributor may sell his images based on the contributors rank and exclusivity.

During the indexation process, a contributor selects an appropriate license and sets the price or base price for that license within the price range of the contributors rank and exclusivity. The selling price for the Standard Royalty Free License is calculated on the resolution of the image. The contributor may set up to 2 prices:
- Standard Royalty Free Base Price = XS
- Extended Royalty Free Price = X

Contributor ranking
On PaidPic, a contributors rank is determined by the total number of files sold. The higher the rank the more files the contributor has sold. There are 8 levels that represent the contributor rank, and the number of files sold. To calculate your rank, we take into account each file sold from the classical system. We also take into account files sold from subscription, four files sold from subscription are equivalent to one old file from the classical system. The table below outlines each level and its corresponding symbol.

Method of payment
For each file sold, the contributor is paid a commission in credits defined by preceding paragraphs. The contributor can use these credits to purchase photographs or to convert their credits into money. The conversion of credits is done via the use of a free Paypal account
The contributor can convert their credits into money which will then be transferred directly into their Paypal account. From their Paypal account, the contributor can transfer the money into their bank account.
PaidPic charges No Fee for transactions over 50 credits. Transactions less than 50 credits will be a low fixed price of 1 credit whatever the amount of the conversion. Thus you can transfer money as soon as your account contains at least two eligible credits.
Important! For anti-fraud reasons, conversion of PaidPic credits through Paypal is not permitted until 45 days after selling your first image.
Referral Scheme
The referral program enables any member of PaidPic whose profile has been confirmed to be rewarded, on the sales and purchases of his referred friend or family member.
A referral is anyone who is referred to PaidPic meaning someone who opens an account on PaidPic after the recommendation of a member. A member refers someone to PaidPic if they create an account after clicking on the invite link.
An Invite link is an Internet hyperlink or web link pointing to the PaidPic website with a member's reference id. The reference id is a unique code assigned to every member of PaidPic. The referred relationship between the member and their inviter takes effect when the new account is created.
The referral relationship lasts for a limited time. During this time commission on all transactions will reward the inviter.
The inviter’s revenues are calculated by a percentage of referred member’s earnings on each transaction, this is currently set at 10%.
Referral rewards are distributed to referring members in credits and may be converted into cash at any time (minimum withdrawal limit $10).
