I saw a great picture on a website - can I use it on mine ??

This is a common question we get asked - and the simple answer is no.

All images that you provide on your website must be either owned / purchased by yourself or you have permission to use. Copyright laws are very strict throughout the world so we always recommend that you use your own images or purchase them through web sites such as www.istockphoto.com



Once you adhere to these rules you will never be liable if any third party ever questions you to where you sourced your images from. A licenced image that you use on your website that you use without permission could cost your comapny €3500 upwards ! Dont slip up.. an average image will only cost you less than an Euro.

If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us.
