Just to stop one line of conjecture, I took the time to write and ask. Emphasis is mine.

From Alamy:

Please note that if someone hasn’t selected both the options (Opt in/Opt Out) it means they are not part of the Novel use Program. And also anyone who didn’t reply will not be a part of the program.

If you have opted for Novel use, you are included in the program and you have a two weeks time to opt out (If you wish to). And if your decision is not made within the specified time period of two weeks, then you will have the choice to opt out only in the next April 2009.


ps, I opted out. Everything there except one photo, is Editorial.

Nice to see that some sites have integrity and don't try to buffalo us into clauses and legal gibberish that gives them all the rights and contributors no choice.
