Website Copyright Audit – One Time

Not sure where all the images on your website came from?

Over time, business websites often accumulate photos and graphics from staff, web developers, marketing agencies, stock libraries, suppliers and old website rebuilds. Years later, it can be difficult to prove where a particular image came from or whether the right licence was ever obtained.

Our Website Image Copyright Audit helps you identify the images on your website that may need further investigation before they become a problem.

Note: This price covers up to 50 pages and up to 100 unique images.

What we check

We scan your website and create an inventory of the images being used across it.

Our audit can include:

• identification of images used across your website;
• removal of duplicate and resized versions from the review process;
• identification of obvious website assets such as logos, icons and interface graphics;
• review of image metadata where available;
• reverse image searching of selected images where further investigation is warranted;
• identification of potential stock image or external sources;
• review of any licence or provenance records you provide; and
• classification of images that may require further action.

What you receive

At the end of the audit, you receive a clear report showing:

• which images appear low-risk or properly accounted for;
• which images may require licence or provenance evidence;
• which images should be investigated further;
• which images may be better replaced or removed; and
• practical next steps for reducing copyright risk across your website.

Who is this for?

This service is particularly useful for:

• established businesses with older websites;
• businesses that have used multiple web developers or marketing agencies;
• websites with large image libraries;
• businesses that have lost stock image licence records;
• businesses unsure whether images found online were properly licensed; and
• businesses wanting a clearer record of the images used on their website.

What if we identify a problem?

Finding an image with unclear provenance does not automatically mean copyright has been infringed.

Depending on what we find, the next step may be to:

• locate an old licence or invoice;
• contact a former web developer or agency;
• replace the image;
• obtain an appropriate licence; or
• seek legal advice.

Important

This is a website compliance and risk-identification service, not legal advice. Upper Gully Digital does not determine whether an image infringes copyright or whether a legal claim is valid.
