Image Licensing
Do you know who owns the copyright on the images featured on your site? Unless you took the images yourself, chances are you will have to pay a fee for using the image(s) on your website. If you have copied your images from the web - BEWARE! The original copyright holder has the right to take legal action against you for using their image without consent. This is becoming more common as traders strive to protect their online identity. Be smart and audit your website today to ensure that you know where all of your images have come from and that you have the appropriate permissions to use the image. Do not assume that if you paid for an image to be used in a brochure it is automatically covered for the web - check that you have correctly requested this. Where stock images are required for a new project, we recommend istockphoto.co.uk for affordable high quality stock images. Remember it is the site owners responsibility to ensure all images featured are correctly licensed - it is the site owner who is responsible for all content. Where we purchase images for use on a website, we will use only royalty free stock images from a reliable source such as istockphoto.
