If you run a console modding service and buy mod kits from me, you may use the product images if you wish to showcase the product you use for install. However, this does not extend to photos of installs. Please use install photos of your own work in order to be fully transparent with your customers. This is mainly for your own benefit as using install photos of other’s work could be seen as misleading by your customers. If you wish to photograph my kits as part of your installs and use them in your promotional material, please feel free to do so.
