Terms of service

Last updated: 2026-05-13

What you get

• A non-exclusive, non-transferable right to display the colours you chose on the (x, y) pixels you bought, plus an optional link target and tooltip, for as long as the site is online.
• Pixels are €0.01 each, minimum purchase 100 pixels (€1.00) so Stripe fees don’t eat the donation. The wall is 1,000,000 pixels in total; the goal is €10000.
• We do not promise the site will stay online forever. We commit to keeping it up at least until the goal is reached, and to giving reasonable notice on the homepage if we’re shutting down.

Refunds — all sales final

Pixels are non-refundable. Buyers should consider their purchase a donation in exchange for a public display, not a consumer good. We reserve the right to issue a refund at our discretion (e.g. accidental duplicate payment); a refund issued by us also revokes the corresponding pixels and removes them from the wall.

Content rules

The optional link URL, tooltip, display name and image you compose on your pixels must not:

• link to or display malware, phishing, or otherwise hostile content;
• contain illegal content under Italian or EU law (including child sexual abuse material, incitement to violence, content infringing copyright or trademarks);
• impersonate Stripe, Supabase, the FSFE, Carlo Esposito, or any other person, organisation or brand;
• contain hate speech, slurs, or content targeting people on the basis of protected characteristics;
• contain sexually explicit imagery (the wall is publicly visible).

We may remove content that breaks these rules without refund. If a link or tooltip is removed, the underlying pixels remain on the wall as a coloured rectangle without the metadata.

Takedown requests

If pixels on the wall infringe your rights or break the rules above, email privacy@aploi.dewith the (x, y) coordinates (or a screenshot) and a description of the issue. We’ll review and respond within 30 days. For DMCA-style copyright complaints, include the elements required by the EU Copyright Directive (Art. 17) — a description of the work, the location of the infringing material, and a statement of good-faith belief.

Where the money goes

50% to the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), 40% to open-source projects under github.com/cesp99, and 10% to infrastructure (Stripe fees, Supabase, the domain). Distributions are logged on the transparency page.

Disclaimer

The site is provided “as is” with no warranty. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory consumer rights under EU or Italian law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Italian law. Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably will be heard in the courts of Italy, except where mandatory consumer-protection rules give you the right to sue in the courts where you live. The European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
