Following Deutsche Telekom’s announcement of its plan to
shut down Polylooks at the end of this year, Fotolia is offering German
microstock’s clients a seamless transition of accounts. During the first two
weeks of December, active Polylooks clients can convert their accounts and all
credits into a Fotolia account. As of January, visitors of the Polylooks Web
site will be redirected to Fotolia’s U.K. site. “We want our clients to enjoy
the best possible continuity and quality when buying images – even after we
discontinue our service. That is why we’re recommending Fotolia”, said Norbert
Weber, head of Polylooks. Financial arrangements between the two companies were
not disclosed.
