Terms of Service

Last updated: 21 September 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the SpotMyPixel website and related services (the “Service”). By using the Service or completing a purchase, you agree to these Terms, the Content Policy, and the Privacy Policy. If you participate in the affiliate program, the Affiliate Terms also apply.

1. Operator

SpotMyPixel is operated by [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS], [COMPANY / REGISTRATION NUMBER] (“SpotMyPixel”, “we”, “us”). Contact details are on the Contact page.

2. Eligibility and capacity

You may use the Service only if you have legal capacity to enter a binding contract and only from a location we currently accept for purchases. Pixel purchases are limited to selected countries and, for the United States, selected states. Availability is determined server-side and may change without converting an unsupported location into an accepted one. If a minimum age applies in your jurisdiction, you must meet it. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation.

Before checkout you must declare your country and, if you are in the United States, your state. We collect a full billing address through Stripe. We compare your declared location with the billing details Stripe provides after payment, and we may use other supporting location evidence. IP address or network location alone is not treated as definitive proof of residence. We may refuse, cancel, or refund a purchase that is not eligible.

3. The SpotMyPixel service

SpotMyPixel sells paid digital advertising / display placements on a public canvas. When you complete a purchase, you receive a contractual right to display an image, and optionally a destination link, on a defined rectangular area of the canvas, subject to these Terms, the Content Policy, automated and manual moderation, and continued operation of the Service.

You do not receive an investment, asset, ownership interest, digital real estate, security, commodity, NFT, token, or any right to financial return, resale proceeds, guaranteed appreciation, or ROI. Prices are fees for advertising / display rights, not a valuation of property.

4. Finite canvas

The public canvas is a finite grid of 1,000 × 500 product pixels (500,000 sellable pixels). Coordinates and dimensions are integer product pixels. Once a rectangle is purchased, it remains claimed and is not automatically offered to others, including if the image is later disabled, rejected, or unpublished for policy reasons.

The Service does not currently implement a fixed display expiry for paid placements. Display continues while the placement remains on the canvas and the Service operates, subject to these Terms (including removal, disablement, and interruption).

5. Pricing and payment

Prices are calculated server-side at checkout using the volume pricing then in force, subject to a minimum payable amount shown on the site. Payment is processed by Stripe Checkout. We do not store card numbers on our servers. A successful, verified payment creates the claimed placement only if the purchase also passes geographic eligibility checks. Unpaid checkout holds are temporary reservations (default 30 minutes, aligned with Stripe Checkout expiry, and configurable by the operator) and expire if payment is not completed.

If payment succeeds but the billing address or other location evidence shows the purchase is not eligible, we do not publish the pixels and do not create an eligible affiliate commission. We cancel or refund the payment through the payment workflow then in use, subject to Stripe and the payment method. Inventory held for that checkout is released or reconciled. We may refuse unsupported purchases at any time.

6. No investment, resale, or financial return

Purchases are not transferable through SpotMyPixel as an investment product. We do not operate a resale marketplace, do not promise that placements will increase in value, and do not share advertising revenue with purchasers. Affiliate commissions (if any) are a separate marketing arrangement under the Affiliate Terms and are not a return on a placement purchase.

7. Image and link submission

You must upload a raster image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF, subject to size and technical limits shown at upload). We convert accepted uploads to a normalised JPEG for storage, moderation, and public display. Transparent or semi-transparent images are rejected; we do not flatten them onto a background. HEIC/HEIF, SVG, PDF, video, and animated formats are not accepted. You may optionally submit a destination URL. We may normalise URLs (for example by adding https://), follow redirects, scan the destination page, and later re-scan published links. Destination clicks may be sent through a SpotMyPixel controlled redirect (the /go path) rather than the raw URL. We do not guarantee that external sites remain available, safe, or unchanged.

8. Content attestation

Before payment you must confirm that your image and destination link comply with these Terms and the Content Policy. That confirmation is a condition of checkout. You remain responsible for the content you submit and for the destination page at the time of submission and afterwards.

9. Automated moderation

We use automated safety checks, including third-party classifiers and an isolated destination-page scanner, before payment. Ordinary purchases that pass those checks are published after verified payment. Automated moderation is imperfect and may make mistakes, including false approvals and false rejections. A pass is not a warranty that content is lawful or policy-compliant. After publication we may re-scan destination links and disable unsafe or non-compliant links or placements.

10. Intellectual property

You represent and warrant that you own the submitted image or have all licences and permissions needed to display it on SpotMyPixel and to grant the rights in this section. You grant SpotMyPixel a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, reproduce, display, and technically process the image and related metadata as needed to operate, moderate, and present the canvas. You remain responsible for third-party intellectual-property claims arising from your content or destination.

11. Prohibited content

You must not submit content or destinations that violate the Content Policy, including sexually explicit material, prohibited nudity, sexual services advertising, malware or phishing, scams, illicit goods or services, hate or extremism, graphic violence, or other prohibited material, or that attempt to evade review through redirects, shortened URLs, cloaking, or misleading links.

12. Manual review, reports, and no refund for policy violations

Automated moderation is not guaranteed to detect every prohibited item. If prohibited or non-compliant content later becomes apparent through manual SpotMyPixel review, public reports, URL re-scan, or other reasonable detection, we may disable the image, remove it from public display, disable or block the destination URL, and/or require that the content not be shown.

If that removal or disablement results from your violation of these Terms or the Content Policy, you are not entitled to a refund merely because SpotMyPixel had to remove or disable the prohibited content, except where required by applicable law. This section does not waive mandatory consumer or other statutory rights that cannot be waived.

After purchase, the email collected by Stripe Checkout may be used to send a one-time login link so you can manage artwork. Image-only replacement is available for placements you paid for: location, size, paid amount, affiliate attribution, and destination URL cannot be changed in that flow. A replacement image is normalised and moderated the same way as a first upload. If we hid the image specifically as a content violation, a passing replacement may restore public display when the order remains valid and the destination URL is not blocked. Replacing an image does not unblock a blocked destination URL and does not override other administrative disablement.

Operational Stripe refunds or chargebacks, where they occur, do not automatically return the canvas rectangle to inventory.

13. Affiliate and referral disclosure

Some visits may be attributed to an affiliate referral code or link. Optional device storage used for that attribution is described in the Cookie Policy. Purchasing works if you reject optional attribution storage; the affiliate may then not receive credit unless you enter a referral code yourself. Affiliates do not receive purchaser payment-card or Stripe billing identity from SpotMyPixel.

14. Availability and reservations

Selecting pixels does not reserve them until checkout begins. During Stripe Checkout, the selected area is held temporarily. If payment is not completed before the hold expires, the area may become available to others. We may refuse, delay, or fail closed on checkout when security or moderation checks cannot be completed.

15. Refunds and chargebacks

Except where required by applicable law, fees are charged for the advertising / display rights described in these Terms, not for a guaranteed outcome, traffic, or continued safety of an external destination. Chargebacks and payment disputes are handled through Stripe and your payment provider. A refunded or disputed order may reverse any related affiliate commission. The purchased rectangle remains claimed unless we expressly decide otherwise.

16. Service interruptions

The Service may be unavailable, delayed, or degraded because of maintenance, hosting issues, third-party outages (including Stripe, email, bot-protection, or moderation providers), or events beyond our reasonable control. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SpotMyPixel is not liable for lost profits, lost data, reputational harm, or indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the Service or a placement. Our aggregate liability arising out of a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for that purchase, except where such limitation is prohibited. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law, including (where applicable) liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

18. Termination and removal

We may suspend or terminate access, disable placements or links, or refuse future submissions where we reasonably believe these Terms, the Content Policy, or applicable law has been violated, or to protect the Service or others. Affiliate accounts may be disabled as described in the Affiliate Terms.

19. Governing law

These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW], without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections that apply in your country of residence. Disputes are intended to be resolved in the courts of [FORUM], except where mandatory law requires another venue.

20. Changes

We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance except where mandatory law requires a different process.
