Except as Microsoft may authorize elsewhere, non-Microsoft Web sites may use only the Microsoft® Internet Explorer logo provided above ("Logo"). By downloading the Logo to your Web site, you agree to be bound by these Policies.
You may only use the Logo on your Web site, and not in any other manner than specified herein. It must always be an active link to the Microsoft Internet Explorer home page at http://www.microsoft.com/ie/default.asp.
The Logo gif image includes the words "Best experienced with" and "Click here to start.", describing the significance of the Logo on your site (that is, the Logo is a link to the Microsoft Internet Explorer home page, not an endorsement of your site). You may not remove or alter this or any other element of the Logo.
The Logo may be used only on Web pages that make accurate references to Microsoft or its products or services, and must be displayed adjacent to the reference or at the bottom of the same page. Your Web page title and other trademarks and logos must appear at least as prominently as the Logo. You may not display the Logo in any manner that implies sponsorship, endorsement, or license by Microsoft.
The Logo must appear by itself, with a minimum spacing (30 pixels) between each side of the Logo and other graphic or textual elements on your page. The Logo may not be used as a feature or design element of any other logo. However, subject to the terms in this Section 5, other company logos may appear on the same Web page.
You may not alter the Logo in any manner, including size, proportions, colors, elements, and so on; or animate, morph, or otherwise distort its perspective or two-dimensional appearance.
You may not use the Logo on any site that disparages Microsoft or its products or services, infringes any Microsoft intellectual property or other rights, or violates any state, federal, or international law.
These Policies do not grant a license or any other right to Microsoft’s logos or trademarks. Microsoft reserves the right at its sole discretion to terminate or modify permission to use the Logo at any time. Microsoft reserves the right to take action against any use that does not conform to these Policies, infringes any Microsoft intellectual property or other right, or violates other applicable law.
MICROSOFT DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW REGARDING THE LOGO, INCLUDING WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT.
