Most people don't know that you can't just copy something off the web and assume it is ok to use for your own marketing.
You can't do that!
You can't just copy anything you want. You need permission from where you are pulling it from in order to use it, so if you don't have that, you don't have permission to use the images. It is so easy to just click copy and then take it and use it, but it just isn't right. When using images for your equine websites, Facebook business pages or in your print advertising, you need to be careful where you get your images from. Even if you are designing something for your kid's birthday party, you should do it correct and legally and not steal off the internet. Pinterest is a big site people pull from, we suggest you be very careful of using anything on that site for your commercial use.
When Silver Buckle Services incorporates any artwork, image, photo or drawing, we always make sure it is used legally and that might mean we tell you that you can't use the image you pulled. Even if a photo isn't taken by a photographer, and it is free, it still might not be ok to use it since you are using in a commercial way. Most websites say that on the fine print, but not many people read the fine print.
We purchase our stock photography, artwork, images and drawings and we make sure they are ok to use in your marketing materials. When we create websites for the horse industry, we are careful to make sure that you have purchased the photos from the equine photographer that took the photos. When you buy a photo of your horse, that doesn't necessarily mean that you have the rights to use it commercially online or in print. For example, if you purchase a photo of your horse and you are buying one copy, then you can not scan it and use it on Facebook or on your horse business website or anything else than that one copy. You would need to buy a special commercial license from the equine photographer to allow you to use the photo in a commercial manner.
If you aren't sure, then it is probably not ok to use. Feel free to check with us to find out and we can help you determine it. Your best bet is always to purchase the artwork from a stock photography website and purchase a license to use the artwork commercially so you won't have to worry about the legal issues involved with image, photo and artwork copyrights.
