Using photos and logos on your website (copyright)
Using an image you don't have rights to can lead to a demand letter asking for a licence fee, even if the image came from Google Images.
Safe sources
- photos you or your staff took
- images you've paid a licence for (stock libraries), with the licence kept on file
- supplier or brand images, but only from their official media or press centre, and following their usage rules. Many brands require you to ask first or don't allow edits.
Not safe
- images copied from Google search, social media or competitor sites
- a supplier's photos without their permission
Got a copyright or infringement notice?
Don't ignore it, and don't pay straight away.
- Forward it to us in a ticket.
- We'll check where the image came from and take it down if needed.
- Check with your own adviser before agreeing to pay anything.
When you send us images for your site, tell us where they came from.
