Yes, unlike our special restrictions for Logo Design projects, all other design projects may contain stock art, clip-art or royalty-free images as long as you follow our guidelines.
In order to properly include stock art, clip-art or royalty-free images in any non-logo design project, you must do the following:
1. Make sure that the license of the design allows you to do so. Read it well and make sure you understand the terms of the license well enough to be absolutely certain that it is safe to use. We suggest emailing customer support from the site you got the design from for confirmation.
2. When submitting the entry, you must disclose that parts of the entry are not original and list any additional fees associated. This disclosure will be viewed by the client so they know what type of design they are working with and let them know if there are any additional fees.
Misrepresenting creative property that you do not own as something you do own is a direct violation of crowdspring's Standards of Conduct for Creatives, our User Agreement, and you expose yourself to legal risk.
Any creative who fails to obtain the proper licensing or provide the proper disclosures will have their account removed immediately and permanently along with all the work that s/he has submitted to any projects on crowdspring. We take this very seriously and you should too.
If you suspect there is a violation of our rules, you can report the entry by using the "3-dot" menu and our team will launch an investigation.
