Terms of Service

1. Who you are dealing with

One Million Dollar Pixels (“the site”, “we”, “us”) is operated by the operator of onemilliondollarpixels.com. You can reach us at support@onemilliondollarpixels.com.

2. What you are buying

The site is a single image of 1,000 × 1,000 pixels. When you buy a block you buy the right to display one image and one link on a rectangle of that grid that you choose, for as long as the site operates. You pay once. There is no renewal, no subscription and no recurring charge.

A block is a licence to use space on our page. It is not property, a security, a share in the site, or an investment of any kind. It has no guaranteed resale value. Please read section 9 before relying on the resale marketplace for anything.

3. Price

Every pixel has its own one-time price, set by its distance from the centre of the grid: $100 for the pixel at the exact centre, falling to $1 at the far corners. The price of a block is the sum of the prices of the pixels in it. The exact figure is shown before you pay and is the figure you are charged. Prices are in US dollars.

We may change the price curve for blocks that have not yet been sold. A price you have already paid is never revisited.

4. Buying a block

• Choosing a block places a hold on it for 15 minutes. If you do not complete payment inside that window the hold lapses and the block returns to the grid.
• Payment is taken by Stripe on Stripe’s own checkout page. We never see or store your card details.
• Once Stripe confirms payment your block is marked pending while we review the image and link (section 6). When approved it is marked active and appears on the grid for everyone.
• You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a binding contract to buy a block.

5. Your image and link

• Images must be PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP, no larger than 500 KB. We scale the image to fit the block you bought.
• Your link must point to a page you control or are authorised to promote. Links open in a new browser tab when a visitor clicks your block.
• You can change your block’s title and link at any time from your dashboard.
• You keep every right you have in your image. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, resize, cache and reproduce it as part of the grid, in screenshots and images of the grid, and in material that promotes the site, for as long as your block exists.

6. What you may not put on the grid

We review every block after payment and may reject or later remove any image or link that we judge, at our sole discretion, to be:

• unlawful, or that promotes anything unlawful where you or we are based;
• sexually explicit, or that depicts violence, cruelty or gore;
• hateful, harassing, or discriminatory against any group or individual;
• deceptive: phishing, malware, scams, counterfeit goods, fake endorsements, or a link that leads somewhere other than where the image suggests;
• infringing: using a brand, logo, likeness or copyrighted work you do not have the right to use;
• promoting gambling, weapons, drugs, tobacco, or get-rich-quick schemes, or aimed at children;
• or anything that, in our reasonable view, damages the site or the experience of its visitors.

If we reject your image at review, we refund you in full and release the block. If we remove your block later because you broke these rules after review, or because the content changed after review, no refund is owed. Our refund policy sets out the detail.

7. Your account

You sign in with a one-time code sent to your e-mail address. There is no password. Whoever can read that mailbox can act as you, so keep it secure. Tell us at once if you believe someone else has used your account. You are responsible for everything done through it until you do.

8. What “for life” means

Your block stays on the grid for as long as the site operates. We intend that to be a very long time, but we cannot promise that a website will exist forever. If we ever shut the grid down permanently we will make reasonable efforts to tell you by e-mail in advance. Apart from the refund window in our refund policy, no refund is owed when the site closes, and none is owed for any period in which the site is unavailable.

9. Resale marketplace

If your block is active you may list it for sale to another visitor at an asking price of your choosing, which must be at least what you originally paid. When it sells:

• you receive your original purchase price back in full;
• any amount above that is split equally — half to you, half to the site;
• the buyer becomes the new owner of the block on these same terms.

We pay your share to you directly, using contact details you give us at your sign-in address, after the buyer’s refund window has closed. You can cancel a listing at any time before it sells.

The marketplace is a convenience, not a promise. We do not guarantee that any block will find a buyer, or that it will sell for any particular price, or that its price will rise. We do not market blocks as an investment and you should not buy one as one. Nothing on this site is financial advice.

10. No promise of traffic

We sell space on a page. We make no representation about how many people will see your block, how many will click it, or what effect, if any, it will have on your search-engine rankings. Links on the grid are opened by script when clicked and are not presented to search engines as ordinary hyperlinks.

11. Our rights

Everything about the site other than the images visitors upload — its name, design, code and the arrangement of the grid — belongs to us. You may take and share screenshots of the grid. You may not scrape it, copy it wholesale, or interfere with its operation.

12. Liability

The site is provided as it is. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything arising out of these terms or your use of the site is limited to the amount you paid us for the block concerned. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, or loss of data. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

You agree to compensate us for any claim by a third party that arises from your image, your link, or your breach of these terms.

13. Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page tells you when we last did. If a change materially affects blocks already bought, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you by e-mail. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
