I understand that for new images but for existing images I expect them to stack multiple images into a cloud-free image, just like Google Maps does. Otherwise, at least calculate the cloud cover and discount me the money proportionally.

That makes sense if you can figure out how to get food to duplicate their satellites.

This is a great point.

We are not going to charge anything (will refund) if we cannot deliver an ordered new image that does not satisfy the minimum cloud cover requirements. There are options for selecting the threshold when tasking.

For existing/archive images the cloud cover is indicated in the image description. However, if the information is hard to see or not helpful, let us know, please.

Do you have access to cloud masks? I'd like to see that. If I'm looking for a small area I'll take 80% coverage if what I want to see is clear.

Speaking small areas, let me draw the exact area I want to buy. Intersect that with the footprints, and let me select from that. I'll pay for the minimum area, that's fine. But forcing the 5km2 means I get options that don't actually cover my AOI.
