Travel agent client maintains a website and newsletter featuring

travel venues. Client makes every effort to use only public domain
images.
Client received a letter from Getty Images, claiming a particular image
used by client was a rights managed image controlled by Getty.
The image in question was no longer on the website,, but still
appeared on
a FaceBook account. Client immediately removed it.
The Getty letter states that removal of the image will not resolve the
matter, and demands a monetary settlement for past usage.
Has anyone handled this sort of claim, with Getty or another stock
agency?
Will they accepts an apology and an agreement to take reasonable
steps to
prevent future inadvertent infringement in lieu of payment?
