We permit you to use Neopets' images on your own web page for your noncommercial and personal use ONLY, so long as you

(1) write either "Copyright 2003 Neopets, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission" or "(c) 2003 Neopets, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission" on EVERY page with our pictures and/or text you link directly to us, and (2) follow our posted Terms and Conditions - http://www.neopets.com/terms.phtml.

Please understand that you cannot redistribute our images in any format, even for free (which also means you cannot offer our images for download on your site). Additionally, you cannot create any derivative works using our images (counters, blinkies, banners, backgrounds, etc.). Any copying or distribution of our images is an infringement of Neopets copyright and trademark rights under state and federal law. (These rules, of course, do not apply to any Neopets sponsored contests or submissions to the Art Gallery or the Neopian Times.)

Please also understand that you cannot use our images if you link your site to other sites that contain paid advertising or content prohibited by our Terms and Conditions, such as gambling, political, religious or adult content.

Also, we do not give you permission to make brochures, fliers, newspapers, newsletters or other "paper" advertisements for Neopets, but it is okay to write an article about Neopets for your school newspaper or school project.

While we require that there be no banner ads on your personal webpage, we recognize that some free hosts require a single ad for their hosting services. So, we do permit you to use our images on your page so long as it has only the ad for your hosting service, which is displayed minimally.

Performing services for other users for Neopoints, Items, money or anything else is forbidden by our Terms and Conditions.

No contests are permitted onsite or offsite except those that Neopets operates.

Comments from the community

Neutral The NeoPets's wiki otherwise known as guilds (info) already exists, though if you're proposing something similar to The Gaiapedia gaia (info) which is a encyclopedia about the site that would be different. That being set aside, those terms are aimed at people who use Neopets images on their fansites. Images used here work a little differently when used for encyclopedic content, we use images to document on the subject, and in simple terms because they are used to document on the subject of the images Fair use laws and Fair dealing laws allow us to use portions of those images to document on the subject. That's the simplest explanation, it's a little more complicated than that but that's basically how it works. Another note would be Wikipedia:Talk:List of Neopets#Pictures. That all being set aside, looking over their TOS I've begun to dislike them even more, and reading over their Wikipedia article and understanding the case of who owns them the topic has begun to disgust me. ~Dantman-local^(talk|local) Apr 19, 2007 _@ 05:26 ^(UTC)

Oppose The existing Wikia, NeoPets Guilds, was started primarily for information on guilds, but it also includes encyclopedic information, user hints and is open to more, like pages on people's individual NeoPets. The images are an issue. But, we can draw our own pictures. New contributors are welcome. I don't see any reason for an additional NeoPets wikia given here. -- CocoaZen 22:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
