Getty Images complaints usually involve image or video licensing, single asset purchases, UltraPacks, subscriptions, Premium Access, invoice disputes, refund requests, unused download credits, wrong license, download problems, contributor or copyright issues, privacy requests, or support delays. The strongest complaint starts with the Getty account email, asset ID, order number, invoice, license type, purchase date, download status, and whether the purchase was a single asset, UltraPack, subscription, Premium Access, or enterprise agreement.
Getty Images' U.S. Sales Terms say customers may request a refund or cancellation for single file downloads or unused UltraPack downloads within 30 days of invoice date, provided the file or UltraPack download has not been used. Getty's terms also say a request must be made in writing.
Getty's standard license terms and Premium Access agreements can differ from ordinary single-file purchases. For a complaint, separate billing questions from license scope, copyright claims, contributor issues, and download troubleshooting.
This guide is for organizing a customer complaint. It is not legal advice, payment advice, tax advice, copyright advice, licensing advice, advertising advice, privacy advice, or a decision about whether Getty Images, iStock, a contributor, a rights holder, a payment issuer, a privacy authority, or another party must issue a refund, credit, cancellation, takedown, license change, contributor payment, privacy response, or policy exception.
