1) How is Index Open different from other subscription providers?

New images added each month from a variety of sources Index Open offers a wide variety of images from more than 100 different contributors from around the world. Many other sites only offer their own content or offer only their oldest images. The diversity in the contributors we work with allows us to ensure the breadth and depth of the Index Open collection is unsurpassed by other subscription sites.

10) I am a designer and interested in purchasing an Index Open subscription. How do you suggest I pass on the cost of the subscription to my customers?

Other clients have told us that they follow one or more of these approaches:
  1. You can apply or charge your customer a per-image value, for each image you use from the subscription. Our Royalty Free images cost between $119 and $349, depending on the file size, for single image licenses.
  2. Describe the subscription as an "artwork acquisition fee.” The cost is less than the cost of a few fonts or two Royalty Free CDs.
  3. Budget it as a software expense. It is less than the cost of a copy of PhotoShop.
  4. Spread it out monthly as an overhead expense. At less than $100 per month, it will quickly pay for itself by improving the speed with which you can produce comps and layouts.

Index Open wants you to be completely happy with your licensed images. We are proud of the work done by our artists. If you are not satisfied with your license and you notify us within 5 business days of your transaction, we will issue you a refund by crediting the credit card you used to place your order. All you have to do is agree in writing that all low- and high-res images downloaded have not been used in any way (including both completed projects and presentations) and that you have deleted all copies of the image. Index retains the sole right to revoke this clause if it feels images have been or may be used.

Please note if you choose the monthly billing option for oursix or twelve month terms, you are agreeing to pay the full amount over the course of the subscription. You may not cancel the subscription after the initial five business day period.
