Much of the content of this site comes from other sources, so be sure to check the license information for each image (and associated text) carefully before you use it. Some of the images here are public domain and copyright free, other images have different licensing.

Personal Use Of Images:

All of this technical talk about usage can sound a bit scarry, but unless you are intending to use an image commercially, there is no issue at all with any of these images. If you want to make a print or product from any image here for personal use, to give as a gift, etc., have at it and don't worry about anything at all!

Commercial Use Of Images:

Specialty Products, LLC is a very small family owned company, and this website is the work of one person. This person makes mistakes, and while he does his best to comply with, and redisplay all appropriate licensing information accurately, it is possible that he's screwed up, and the licensing information here may not be accurate.

If you find an image that you want to use, and it is not a Specialty Products LLC image, it is your responsibility to go back to the source of the image and double-check all licensing and other information that you may need in order to use the image in your particular circumstance. We try to make sure that it's okay for us to display the images that are found here, but we make no claim or suggestion as to whether it's appropriate for your use.

SO, here is a disclaimer - anything that you use from this site, you do so at your own risk, and you take full responsibility for whatever it is you do with it. We are not responsible for anything you do, no matter how badly we may have botched something up. Make sense?

If the photos are public domain (and you've double checked), use them for whatever you want. Use it all. Sell it. Mangle it. Whatever you want. Please. This doesn't mean that you can take the material and then copyright it yourself. It's in the public domain and that's where we want it to stay. We would appreciate a link back to our site: CopyrightFreePhotos.HQ101.com.

Some of the images here feature members of the public. If you see a picture of someone else here YOU SHOULD ASSUME THAT THERE IS NO MODEL RELEASE. Ditto for pictures of private property, events, attractions, etc. Please note: Some of the images here are from commercial attractions such as SeaWorld. Don't use these for anything without asking them!!! SeaWorld probably wouldn't mind, but they would have a very straight forward case if they decided to sue you. Do your research.

If you are shown in a photo, or feel a photo violates your copyrights, and object to it being available on our site, please contact us and the image will be removed (I'll need a way to contact you).

If you want to use a picture on your own web page YOU MUST save the picture to your own server.

I respect the intellectual property of others. Please don't misuse images that you find here. Clearly I can't grant you the right to use images of people without their permission. Fair use is good, but so is privacy and accountability. If I catch hell because you found something here and messed with it in an illegal or inappropriate way, I'll track you down and try very hard to make you unhappy to the fullest extent of the law. If you're not sure about it, don't use it until you are sure about it.
