Years back, I was on the other side of this. They didn't like my mockups but they liked my price, so they took the other company's comps and handed them to me. Their logo, "confidential" and the like were still on them.

I told the customer I wanted a written release from the other company to use their stuff, especially since some of it would end up in our promo/marketing info.

They called me "not a team player" and cut my team loose from the project. Six months later they fired many of the senior staff for missing funds and a lawsuit from that other company.

Karma is a bitch.
