Can a club use photos and other images found on the national website?

Short answer: Probably not, sorry!


Long answer: Here are the main sources for photos and other images found on https://probuscanada.ca, all with their own limits.

  • Member-generated content like the current background on the homepage which is the winner of last year's photo competition. Here the photographer, a Probus member, gave publishing rights to PROBUS Canada. If your club wanted to use his creation as well then that would need to be agreed to between your club and him.
  • Images provided by the website builder, Google Sites, such as the typewriter image in the News page. It stands to reason that the content owner would limit their use to the website builder.
  • Stock images acquired from istockphoto.com for our themed photos such as on About Us. The license agreement does not allow PROBUS Canada to use content in any way that allows others to download, extract, or redistribute content as a standalone file. However, that service offers a certain number of free images and videos for your club to download and then add to your website.
  • The official Probus logo can be used by active, accredited Probus clubs. Any use outside of normal club activities must be approved, in writing, by the Board of Directors of PROBUS Canada.
