I don't think it would necessarily be a violation.  But, always cover your .
. . rear.  Just explain to your client that for both of your sakes, you need
to see that you have permission for the specific image you want to use.  (If
you make it sound like they could be sued for using it without the rights,
they'll probably be willing to make sure they have the rights to use it.)
