Why the the content review team would delete a product for image template that I used from pexels

I used pexels.com website for  images that the website says that are free to use whether personally or commercially. And that was said in their copyright policies .

It is more than possible that someone uploaded 3rd party copyrighted material to the Pexels website... or that the image contained a 3rd party's copyright or trademark material - for example I see many photographs that include Coca-Cola bottles and Starbucks cups. Regardless of whether or not the photographer who took those images cares if you use them, you still cannot reproduce them..

Could be any number of reasons. Those "free" photo sites aren't totally what they seem. You can't sell an unaltered version of the image, so that could be the issue. Screenshot from the Pexels website:

Also, the problem might have nothing to do with the image. It could be that you used a trademarked word in your tags, title, or description. When the content management team deletes a product they usually just send a standard boilerplate email. The email implies that the problem is with the image, but it might be something else, and in order to get the actual reason, you need to contact content management.

Thank you, indeed that was the problem and it has nothing to do with the pexels images.
