Hey guys,

A friend of mine has a computer repair service and is thinking to put the logos of Acer, Dell, HP, Toshiba and etc on his website, as well as the logos of Paypal, Mastercard, and Visa, as he accepts these payments.

The question is, is that fine, or there is some copyrighting problems he may get into?

Thanks!

I think you can use those logos so long as you're not claiming to be affiliated with them in any way. Each company also has a page on their website that contains guidelines for using their trademark. I suggest you read through each one.

You can use their logos by taking permission from the company

Hello mate!
I think it is fine but he must have to use logo of Western Union or any other international payment exchange company. I think there will not be copyrighting problems.
