Lots of users ask,
Can you tell me if it's OK to use screenshots and pics of the Master Chief
and Halo 2 on my website?
Generally, if you’re an individual with say a noncommercial fansite or
a blog, we have no objection to you illustrating that site with images that
are freely available and designated for use and download in the Bungie.net
gallery sections. You aren’t allowed to use those images for any
commercial purposes, including but not limited to use on a website that charges
access or subscription fees, or reproduction on any items for sale. You
also are not allowed to change, alter or otherwise modify the images made available
for use in the Bungie.net gallery sections, except for sizing the images. You
also cannot pass off any Bungie’s trademarks, logos, images, products
or other materials as your own, and don’t use the materials in ways that
would be illegal, libelous, or harm the reputations of Bungie and Microsoft. Note
that everything on Bungie.net is protected by copyright and trademark laws
and we will take actions to protect them.
When you use something from Bungie.net, we ask that you provide a notice somewhere
on your page which says:
“[Whatever you use – usually Bungie and/or Halo] are either registered
trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or
other countries. Certain materials are copyright Microsoft Corporation.
Also, Microsoft reserves the right to come after you if it thinks the use is
unsuitable in any way. Happy fun times!
