new adobe stock contributor

Question

Hello everyone,I want to get a set of icons related to business and health to incorporate into some images that I want to share via Adobe Stock. However, I am concerned about intellectual property issues, as I do not want to infringe on anyone's rights and want my work to be ethical.Please tell me where I can find icons without encountering these problems. I find that many photographers incorporate icons into their images on Adobe Stock, but I don't know where they get them from because most websites that provide icons stipulate that they cannot be used in works intended for sale.Thank you in advance for your answers, opinions, and suggestions.

DO NOT do this!!

If you need icons, create them yourself, manually. Or don't submit it to Stock.

Using work by other artists violates the Contributor TERMS of agreement and will lead to account termination.

Understanding copyright

You must own or control all the rights to the files you submit to Adobe Stock. Don’t submit files that don’t belong to you, such as photos taken by your spouse. Don’t incorporate anything into your content that was created by someone else — not even images you got from a website that allows free downloads — unless you have a complete property release from the owner of the other content.

By way of example, you may not upload content that is lifted from third party sites (such as Unsplash or Pixabay). You may also not submit content that is too similar to the expression of another individual or entity’s work.

Don’t submit what you believe to be public-domain content.

Don’t submit content created by other artists, including content available as a free download at any location.

Don’t submit content that’s partially based on the work of other artists.

In addition to what @Jill_C said about using Adobe images in your work, you also agreed to §4 in the contributor terms that you own the rights to all of the work you submit. That is not the case if you use parts designed by others who have not granted you permission. Your account can be banned.
