Google has added a new checkbox for you to comply with when you upload images to Google Ads. This is Google having you sign a waiver that "own all legal rights to the images on the landing pages."

The checkbox waiver reads:

I confirm that I own all legal rights to the images on the landing pages used by this account (or I have permission to share the images with Google). I hereby instruct Google to publish these images on my behalf for advertising or other commercial purposes."

This is on the dynamic images section of automated assets within Google Ads.

Here is a screenshot of this from Anthony Higman who posted this on X:

The funny thing, Google Ads AI conversational assistant suggests you use these images:

I assume Google ran into some legal issues with advertisers using images they didn't own the rights to. I am surprised Google has not had this waiver earlier...
