Using Images from Other Websites: Only use images with explicit permission from the copyright holder or if the image is licensed for reuse (e.g., royalty-free, public domain, or Creative Commons). Using unauthorized images can lead to legal issues.

Google Images: Images found on Google are not automatically free to use. Always check for copyright or licensing information. For example, if you search for a photo of a window cleaner on Google Images and download it, that image may still be protected by copyright.

Using Logos: You need explicit permission to use logos of companies or clients, whether they’re your partners or customers. Unauthorized use may violate copyright or trademark laws. Check their brand usage guidelines or get written consent first.

Displaying Badges: Only display badges or certifications (e.g., Facebook, Yelp, Google ratings) if they are officially provided or approved by the respective platform. Misuse, such as displaying fake ratings, may violate copyright, trademark laws, or platform policies.

Copying Text: Text from other websites can only be used with explicit permission if it is in the public domain or is licensed for reuse (e.g., Creative Commons).

Rewording Text: If you copy text from another website, blog, or news article without permission or credit, it’s considered plagiarism and a violation of copyright laws. Even if you slightly reword the text, it might still be considered a derivative work, which often requires permission.
