For purposes of this agreement, "Brand Features" means the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of Bungie and its licensors.

In using Brand Features, you will not:

• Display a Brand Feature in any manner that implies a relationship or affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by Bungie, other than your use of the Bungie.net API, or that can be reasonably interpreted to suggest editorial content has been authored by, or represents the views or opinions of Bungie or Bungie personnel;
• Use Brand Features to disparage Bungie, its products or services;

• Have the Bungie logo as the largest logo in your API Client;
• Display a Brand Feature as the most prominent element in your API Client;

• Remove, distort or alter any element of a Brand Feature (this includes squeezing, stretching, inverting, discoloring, etc.).

Except as set forth in this Section, nothing in this Agreement will grant or will be deemed to grant you any right, title or interest in or to Brand Features. All use by you of Brand Features (including any goodwill associated therewith) will inure to the benefit of Bungie. At no time will you challenge or assist others to challenge the Brand Features of Bungie (except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law) or the registration thereof by Bungie, nor will you attempt to register any Brand Features (including domain names) that are confusingly similar in any way (including but not limited to, sound, appearance and spelling) to those of Bungie or its licensors.
