Terms of Service

Last updated: 8 May 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to the website, platform, services, content, features, and related functionality operated by Sebastian De Albuquerque Maranhão Lewis Jones in connection with the Seb.draws.things Million Pixel Canvas project (the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, purchasing Squares, uploading content, or otherwise participating in the project, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of a business or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that business or organisation to these Terms, and “you” includes that business or organisation where applicable.

1. About the Service

1.1 The Service includes a digital collaborative artwork platform centered around a canvas initially designed as a 1000 x 1000 pixel canvas (the “Canvas”), together with any extensions, expansions, archives, layers, successor canvases, associated artwork views, and related features offered by the Operator.

1.2 Through the Service, users may be able to purchase one or more pixel positions or other display units on the Canvas (“Squares”), apply colours, submit descriptions, submit links, upload approved images, receive digital certificates, appear on leaderboards, and interact with other features made available from time to time.

1.3 The Service is a creative digital project. It is not a bank account, custody service, marketplace, securities platform, investment product, NFT platform, or regulated financial product.

1.4 The Operator may improve, modify, expand, reduce, suspend, replace, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

2. Definitions

Certificate means any digital certificate, record, badge, receipt, or ownership-style record made available by the Service in relation to Squares.

Digital Representation means the on-Service display and account association of Squares, placements, and related records.

Operator means Sebastian De Albuquerque Maranhão Lewis Jones.

Placement means any colour, text-linked square, image-derived pixel arrangement, or other approved visual content displayed on the Canvas.

Service Rules means any additional technical, content, community, moderation, image, checkout, or feature-specific rules published within the Service, so long as they are consistent with these Terms.

Square means a pixel position or other unit of display made available by the Service for purchase or allocation.

User Content means any content you submit to the Service, including usernames, profile details, descriptions, links, QR codes, images, logos, text, colour selections, and other submitted material.

3. Eligibility and Age

3.1 You may use the Service only if:

(a) you are at least 18 years old; or

3.2 The Service is not intended for children under 13, and children under 13 must not use the Service.

3.3 By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you satisfy the requirements in this Section 3.

3.4 If you are a parent or guardian permitting a minor aged 13 to 17 to use the Service, you are responsible for that minor’s use of the Service, purchases, payment method use, and compliance with these Terms.

4. Geographic Availability

4.1 The Service is intended to be available globally and is not limited to particular countries or regions, unless access restrictions are required by law, sanctions, fraud prevention measures, payment provider limitations, technical limitations, or other legitimate operational reasons.

4.2 You are responsible for complying with the laws applicable to you in the place from which you access or use the Service.

5. Accounts

5.1 To access certain features, including purchasing Squares or submitting content, you must create an Account.

5.2 Account registration may require:

(a) a valid email address;

(b) a username;

(c) verification steps designed to prevent bots, fraud, or abuse; and

(d) any additional information reasonably required for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

5.3 You must provide accurate information, keep your information reasonably up to date, and keep your login credentials secure.

5.4 You are responsible for activity that occurs through your Account, whether or not authorised by you, unless caused by the Operator’s failure to use reasonable security measures.

5.5 You must not sell, lend, share, or transfer your Account except through any official account-transfer functionality expressly offered by the Service.

5.6 Usernames and profile information must not be misleading, impersonate another person or organisation, infringe rights, or otherwise breach these Terms. The Operator may require you to change a username or profile element that breaches these Terms or creates legal, safety, or impersonation risks.

6. Pricing, Currency, Taxes, and Payment

6.1 Unless otherwise stated at checkout, each Square costs USD $1.00.

6.2 All prices are displayed and charged in United States Dollars (USD) unless clearly stated otherwise.

6.3 Taxes, payment processor fees, and similar charges may apply depending on your location, payment method, and applicable law. Where required, these will be displayed at checkout.

6.4 Your bank, card provider, or payment service provider may impose conversion charges, foreign transaction fees, or other additional charges. Those charges are outside the Operator’s control and are your responsibility.

6.5 The Operator may change pricing, create bundles, run promotions, or change purchasing options for future transactions at any time. Pricing changes do not affect completed purchases.

6.6 A transaction is not complete until payment is successfully authorised or captured, and the Service records the purchase as completed.

6.7 The Operator may refuse, cancel, or place on hold any transaction where there is a genuine reason to do so, including suspected fraud, suspected unauthorised payment use, technical conflict, duplicate purchase attempts, abuse, sanctions risk, or legal compliance concerns.

7. Supply of Digital Content, Consumer Rights, and No-Voluntary-Refund Policy

7.1 Purchases made through the Service are purchases of digital content and related digital services connected to the Canvas and your Account.

7.2 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all purchases are final and non-refundable. The Operator does not offer refunds voluntarily or as a matter of policy, including where:

(a) you change your mind;

(b) you select the wrong Squares, colours, description, or image;

(c) your content is later removed, altered, disabled, blanked out, reverted, or restricted because it breaches these Terms or Service Rules;

(d) you stop using the Service;

(e) you lose interest in the project;

(f) you are dissatisfied with the final appearance of the Canvas, provided the Service has operated substantially as described;

(g) you expected advertising, promotional, commercial, social, financial, or reputational benefit from your purchase and that benefit does not occur; or

(h) your Account is suspended, restricted, or terminated due to breach of these Terms.

7.3 Where required by applicable law, the Service may ask you at checkout to:

(a) expressly request immediate supply of the digital content and/or digital services; and

(b) acknowledge that, once supply begins, any otherwise applicable cancellation right may be lost to the extent permitted by law.

7.4 Nothing in these Terms limits, excludes, or restricts any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be limited, excluded, or restricted under applicable consumer law.

7.5 If a payment is successful but the Service fails to allocate or display the purchased digital content because of a technical issue attributable to the Service, the Operator will use reasonable efforts to correct the issue. Correction may include correction, re-placement, reallocation, account adjustment, or another non-monetary technical remedy the Operator reasonably considers appropriate. The Operator does not offer refunds voluntarily or as a matter of policy. Any refund, price reduction, or other monetary remedy will be provided only where required by applicable law.

7.6 If your payment is reversed, charged back, recalled, or later found to be unauthorised or fraudulent, the Operator may remove or suspend the related Squares, Placements, Certificates, and Account access until the issue is resolved, and may recover associated processor costs where permitted by law.

8. Square Allocation, Reservation, and Placement Rules

8.1 Squares are allocated according to the Service’s records. A Square is not yours merely because you selected it, added it to a cart, or began checkout.

8.2 Unless the Service expressly shows a temporary reservation window, Squares remain available to others until checkout is successfully completed.

8.3 If multiple users attempt to purchase the same Square or overlapping Squares, priority will normally be determined by the Service’s successful transaction and allocation records.

8.4 If the Service offers a temporary reservation feature during checkout, the reservation lasts only for the time shown in the Service and may expire automatically if checkout is not completed in time.

8.5 The Service may include technical rules for:

(a) overlapping selections;

(b) image conversion and palette mapping;

(c) transparency handling;

(d) layering;

(e) placement behind existing content;

(f) cropping and resizing; and

(g) resolution or file size limits.

8.6 Where transparency is supported, transparent portions of uploaded images do not transfer ownership, control, or allocation of underlying Squares to you.

8.7 If the Service offers a feature allowing an image or part of an image to appear visually behind existing content, that affects visual rendering only. It does not give you rights in Squares already allocated to another Account.

8.8 The Operator may establish and update reasonable technical rules for image rendering, colour conversion, palette limits, anti-abuse restrictions, and placement logic through the Service Rules.

9. What You Receive When You Purchase Squares

9.1 A successful purchase gives the purchasing Account a limited contractual right, subject to these Terms, to have the purchased Squares associated with that Account within the Service and displayed as allocated to that Account on the Service.

9.2 That right is limited to the Service and does not give you:

(a) ownership of the physical artwork;

(b) ownership of any physical reproduction, print, or derivative physical piece;

(c) ownership of the Service software, code, database, brand, or the Canvas as a whole;

(d) any intellectual property rights in the Operator’s branding, platform, or compilation; or

(e) any guaranteed right to permanent hosting or indefinite availability.

9.3 Squares, Placements, and Certificates are part of a creative digital project. They are not deposits, investments, securities, financial instruments, or promises of appreciation or resale value.

9.4 Unless the Service later introduces an official transfer feature, Squares are non-transferable, non-resellable, and may not be assigned to another Account. Any off-platform sale, licence, assignment, or promise to transfer Squares has no effect on the Service’s records unless the Service expressly supports that transfer.

9.5 The Operator may refer to a user as the current “owner,” “holder,” or similar term within the Service for convenience, but that label describes the Account currently associated with the relevant Squares inside the Service only.

10. Descriptions, Links, QR Codes, and Commercial Use

10.1 The Service may allow you to submit a description of up to 100 characters for a Square or Placement, unless the Service later changes that limit.

10.2 The Service may allow links, including commercial links, subject to these Terms, moderation, and any Service Rules.

10.3 You are solely responsible for the destination, safety, legality, and accuracy of any link, redirect, landing page, or promotion you submit.

10.4 You must not submit links, QR codes, shortened URLs, redirects, or similar materials that:

(a) contain malware, spyware, phishing, harmful code, or deceptive downloads;

(b) promote scams, unlawful activity, or fraudulent schemes;

(c) lead to unlawful, hateful, violent, harassing, or exploitative material;

(d) involve sexual content involving minors;

(e) are misleading as to source, sponsorship, or destination; or

(f) otherwise create safety, legal, or reputational risk for the Service or its users.

10.5 The Operator may review, block, remove, disable, or replace links and QR codes at any time, including if the destination changes after approval, becomes unsafe, becomes inappropriate, or creates project risk.

10.6 The Operator may apply stricter rules to QR codes, redirects, or similar scannable or opaque destination tools than to ordinary visible text links.

10.7 If you use the Service for advertising, promotion, or commercial visibility, you are responsible for ensuring that your content and linked materials comply with applicable law, advertising rules, disclosure requirements, and third-party rights.

11. Images, Uploads, and User Warranties

11.1 If image uploads are permitted, uploaded images may be reviewed before or after appearing on the Canvas.

11.2 The Service may resize, crop, compress, downsample, convert, re-render, palette-map, remove background data, adjust transparency handling, or otherwise technically adapt uploaded material for Canvas rendering.

11.3 The displayed result on the Canvas may differ from the original upload because of size constraints, pixel conversion, colour limitations, moderation, layout rules, or device rendering differences.

11.4 By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

(a) you own it, or have all rights, permissions, licences, and consents needed to submit it and authorise the uses described in these Terms;

(b) your submission and the Operator’s use of it as permitted by these Terms will not infringe or misappropriate any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, database, moral, or other rights;

(c) the content is lawful and not defamatory; and

(d) the content complies with these Terms and applicable law.

11.5 You must not submit content that you do not have the right to use, including copyrighted images, logos, branding, or other protected material, unless you have clear permission or another valid legal basis.

11.6 The Operator may reject or remove any upload, in whole or in part, for legal, moderation, quality, technical, or project-integrity reasons.

12. Prohibited Content and Conduct

You must not, and must not attempt to:

12.1 hack, disrupt, overload, damage, interfere with, or test the vulnerability of the Service without authorisation;

12.2 bypass security controls, bot detection, rate limits, purchase limits, or access restrictions;

12.3 use bots, scripts, scraping tools, crawlers, or automation to purchase, reserve, extract, or manipulate Squares or data, except where expressly permitted by the Service;

12.4 engage in fraud, payment abuse, abusive chargebacks, identity misuse, or unauthorised use of another person’s payment method or account;

12.5 upload or submit unlawful, infringing, defamatory, hateful, harassing, threatening, exploitative, or misleading content;

12.6 impersonate another person or organisation, or falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation;

12.7 use the Service in a way that is deceptive, unsafe, abusive, or likely to harm other users or the project; or

12.8 attempt to obtain rights in Squares, content, or accounts through means not expressly permitted by the Service.

13. Moderation, Enforcement, and Removal

13.1 The Operator may moderate User Content and account activity before publication, after publication, or both.

13.2 The Operator may remove, refuse, disable, edit, crop, replace, blank out, or revert User Content or affected Squares, including reverting Squares to white or another neutral state, where the Operator reasonably believes that:

(a) the content breaches these Terms or Service Rules;

(b) the content is unlawful or potentially unlawful;

(c) the content infringes rights or exposes the Service to legal risk;

(d) the content is unsafe, deceptive, abusive, or otherwise harmful;

(e) the content undermines the integrity, reputation, or technical operation of the project; or

(f) moderation is otherwise reasonably necessary to protect users, the Operator, or the Service.

13.3 The Operator is not required to provide advance notice before taking moderation or enforcement action, particularly in cases involving safety, fraud, legal risk, or urgent technical action.

13.4 Enforcement action may include warnings, content removal, visibility reduction, purchase limits, transaction cancellation, temporary suspension, permanent suspension, account termination, payment blocking, or restrictions on future participation.

13.5 If your User Content is removed, disabled, edited, cropped, replaced, blanked out, reverted, or otherwise moderated because it breaches these Terms or Service Rules, you will not be entitled to a refund. Any refund, price reduction, or other monetary remedy will be provided only where required by applicable law.

13.6 The Service may offer reporting tools, but the Operator does not guarantee that reported content will be removed.

14. Rights Complaints and Takedown Requests

14.1 If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, trademark, image rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights, you may submit a complaint to the contact details listed below.

14.2 A complaint should include enough information for the Operator to investigate, including:

14.4 The Operator may request additional information before taking action and may decline to act where the complaint is incomplete, unsupported, abusive, or clearly unfounded.

14.5 Nothing in this Section requires the Operator to adjudicate private disputes beyond what the law requires or what the Operator reasonably considers appropriate.

15. Certificates, Rankings, and Public Display Features

15.1 The Service may provide Certificates, badges, receipts, rankings, leaderboards, contributor counts, profile pages, or similar features.

15.2 These features are provided for convenience, display, or project engagement only. They do not independently create property rights, financial value, guaranteed status, or guaranteed long-term availability.

15.3 The Operator may change, correct, suspend, or remove these features at any time.

15.4 If your Account is suspended, terminated, or affected by moderation, the Operator may remove you from leaderboards or adjust related public records accordingly.

16. User Content Licence

16.1 As between you and the Operator, you retain whatever ownership rights you have in your User Content.

16.2 By submitting User Content, you grant the Operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, convert, crop, resize, transmit, display, publish, distribute, archive, and otherwise use that User Content:

(a) to operate, secure, moderate, and improve the Service;

(b) to display the content on the Canvas and related pages;

16.3 You also consent to such technical and formatting adaptations of your User Content as are necessary for Canvas rendering, moderation, archiving, and promotion.

16.4 This licence continues for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above, including for archived versions of the Canvas, historic project records, legal compliance, and existing promotional materials already created or published.

16.5 Deleting your Account or ceasing to use the Service does not require the Operator to remove historic Placements, archive records, timelapses, screenshots, or previously published promotional materials.

17. Operator Intellectual Property

17.1 The Operator and its licensors own the Service, including its software, code, design, branding, text, databases, audiovisual material, and the overall selection, coordination, compilation, and presentation of the Canvas, except for rights users may hold in their own User Content.
