Copyright
Every file on FreeStockImages.net is believed to have a license attributed to it that allows for it to be used for free. But this can never be 100% guaranteed for every single file. Trust is placed in uploaders and other sources that the license is as they say, so we take no responsibility for the consequences of using photos that the original owner actually didn’t have the rights to distribute. Please protect yourself with legal terms on your own website and retain sources to show you acted in good faith. However please don’t be afraid of this situation, as of yet this sort of thing occurring has not been heard of, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Better to be safe than sorry.

By submitting a file to this website you are claiming that you have a legal right to that picture. If you don’t, and the true owner of that photo comes after us, you will be the responsible party.
