Terms of Use
The service
Pixelarp turns images into color-by-number drawings, lets you draw in pixel art, sync your drawings between your devices, sell or buy creations at auction, for pixels, add friends and message them.
Your images and your drawings
You remain the owner of your drawings. You are responsible for the images you import: only import images you have the right to use.
Pixels and skins
Pixels are earned by finishing drawings and unlocking achievements. They cannot be bought with money, have no monetary value and are not refundable; they only move from one player to another through the app’s auctions. The reward scale and the price of skins may change, in particular during temporary promotions. We may correct a balance (error, cheating).
Auctions
You can put a creation from your Studio up for auction, for pixels. It is a unique piece: when the sale ends, the highest bidder receives it and it leaves your Studio; with no bid, you keep it. You can cancel a sale as long as nobody has bid.
A bid is binding: the pixels you bid are held while you are leading, and paid if you win. A bid in the last 5 minutes extends the sale by 5 minutes.
Only sell creations you have the right to share: no shocking or illegal content, and nothing copied from a protected work. A sale transfers the creation within the app, not the copyright. We may remove a reported listing and exclude a player from the auctions.
Friends and messages
To be friends, one asks and the other accepts; you can only message your friends. Be respectful: no harassment, insults, shocking or illegal content, or mass messages. You can block and report a player at any time. We may remove reported content and suspend an account, for a limited time or permanently: it then loses access to friends, messages and auctions, but keeps its drawings. The Pixelarp team may write to you from the official “Pixelarp” account, which can’t be replied to.
Pixelarp Gold
Pixelarp Gold is an optional paid plan, offered as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time “lifetime” purchase. It unlocks the benefits described on the Pixelarp Gold page of the app at the time of purchase. The price, all taxes included, is shown before the purchase.
Payment is collected by the App Store or Google Play. A subscription renews automatically for the same duration and at the same price, until you cancel it in the settings of your App Store or Google Play account; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for.
Refunds are requested from the store where the purchase was made, according to its rules.
The purchase is tied to your Pixelarp account: you get it back on your other devices by signing in, even from another store. Made without an account, it is tied to the account you sign in to afterwards. “Restore my purchases” finds it again with the store. Without Pixelarp Gold, or after a subscription ends, your drawings remain accessible, whatever their size.
Your account
You can sign out or delete your account at any time from the settings.
Availability
The app is provided as is. We do our best to make it work and to keep syncing reliable, without being able to guarantee it in all circumstances.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law.
