Terms of Service

Last updated: September 30, 2026 · Operated by Alina Amirkhanian · An independent project, not a company
In short: Pixel Real Estate sells permanent display space on a digital map, priced by position and by how much of its district has sold: you pay once and never renew (what happens if the site ever closes is in Section 8). It is not an investment, security, or financial product, and we make no promise that a plot can be resold or will hold or increase in value.

Acceptance of these terms

Pixel Real Estate is owned and operated by Alina Amirkhanian, acting as an individual. There is no company behind the site: where these terms say “we” or “the operator”, they mean that person. You can reach us at any time at support@pixelrealestate.homes.

By creating an account, buying a plot, or otherwise using Pixel Real Estate ("the site"), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What Pixel Real Estate is

The site lets you permanently claim one or more 10×10 pixel plots on a 202×202 grid (30,000 of its cells are for sale; the rest are roads, parks and civic buildings), and optionally attach an image, description, link, and social links to any plot you own. “Permanently” means you pay once and never renew; what happens if the site ever closes is in Section 8. A plot's price depends on its position (distance from center) and how much of its district has sold. This is a display and novelty product, not an investment. We do not offer, promise, or imply any financial return, resale value, dividend, or appreciation. Any change shown between a plot's purchase price and its current price reflects our own pricing formula only — it is not a market valuation and does not mean the plot can actually be resold for that amount.

The city grid is fixed. There are 30,000 plots on it and that number will not grow — we will not add plots to the grid, resize it, or subdivide it. Nothing we may ever build elsewhere on this site changes that: it would not be a city plot and it would not be counted in the 30,000. A plot on the grid cannot be created out of anything else.

Purchases and payment

  • Plots are paid for in US dollars by bank card. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Dodo Payments, who is the merchant of record for all our orders: Dodo Payments sells the plot to you on our behalf, charges your card, handles sales tax or VAT, and sends you the receipt. Your card details are entered on Dodo Payments' page: we never see or store a card number. Dodo Payments does not serve buyers in some countries.
  • A plot's price is fixed at the moment your payment is confirmed. Prices for unsold plots can change afterward as other plots sell — that doesn't change what you already paid.
  • Plus is an optional yearly subscription, and it is the only thing on this site that repeats. It costs $49 a year and covers three of your plots; each further plot is $9 a year. On the plots you choose it does two things: we check the link you put there and tell you if it stops working, and you get your visit figures day by day instead of a running total. It changes nothing about the plot itself.
  • Plus is billed a year in advance and renews each year until you cancel it. You can cancel at any time from your account. If the price changes, the new price applies from the next renewal onwards, and we tell you before that renewal happens.
  • Owning a plot never requires Plus. If you never buy it, or you cancel it, your plot, your image, your link and your certificate stay exactly as they are.
  • Before you pay, the checkout shows you the plot, the total price, and who you are buying from. The button that completes the order says in plain words that pressing it puts you under an obligation to pay.
  • A plot is delivered as soon as payment is confirmed. If a payment is later reversed by your bank or the payment provider, the plot goes back on the map.
  • If a payment is confirmed but a plot fails to register to your account due to a technical error on our end, contact us and we'll fix it or, if that's not possible, refund that specific payment.
5

Changing your mind — 72 hours

  • You have 72 hours to change your mind, starting from the moment the plot is registered to your account. You do not have to give a reason.
  • Tell us by email at support@pixelrealestate.homes from the address on your account, or from the plot's page in your account. We will confirm that we received it.
  • When a cancellation goes through: the plot goes back on the map, anything you put on it is removed, and we return the full amount you paid, to the card you paid with. We send the refund within 3 days of getting your notice; how fast it shows on your card depends on your bank.
  • Cancelling one plot does not cancel the others in the same order unless you tell us to.
  • Plus is cancelled separately from a plot. You have 72 hours from your first payment for Plus to change your mind and get all of it back — write to us from the email on your account. After that you can cancel the renewal at any time from your account: Plus keeps working until the end of the year you have paid for, then stops, and we do not bill you again. Cancelling Plus never touches your plots.
  • Nothing here takes away rights you have under the consumer law of your own country.

Content you add to your plots

You keep ownership of any image, text, link, or social links you add to a plot you own. By adding content, you give the operator of Pixel Real Estate a non-exclusive license to display it on the site as part of the map. You're responsible for what you upload — it must be content you have the right to use, and must not be illegal, infringing, sexually explicit, hateful, or a scam or phishing attempt. Content is checked automatically before it goes live, and we may refuse to publish it; if the check cannot run, nothing is saved. Other users can also report a plot's content anonymously. We review the reports we receive, and we may remove content that breaks these rules or that we are required to remove. If you think we got it wrong, write to us and we will look again. Removing content does not cancel the purchase and does not by itself give you a refund. The 72-hour right in Section 5 is separate and runs from the moment the plot was registered to your account, whatever we later remove. Nothing here takes away rights you have under the consumer law of your own country.

Prohibited uses

  • Automated or bulk purchasing intended to manipulate pricing.
  • Scraping the site or database beyond what the public map already shows.
  • Uploading malicious links or content designed to harm visitors.

The site itself

The Pixel Real Estate name, design, and underlying code belong to the operator of Pixel Real Estate. This doesn't apply to content you own and upload to your own plots under Section 6.

If the site closes. If we decide to close Pixel Real Estate, we will (a) email every plot owner who has an email address on their account at least 90 days before the site closes; (b) after it closes, keep the map online as a read-only archive showing each plot’s image, link and description for at least five years, while keeping the right to remove content that breaks these terms and links that stop working or become harmful; and (c) before it closes, let each owner download their plot’s image, link, description and certificate. A Plus subscription stops renewing when we announce the closure, and the unused part of it is refunded. Closing the site does not entitle anyone to a refund of the price paid for a plot. The 72-hour cancellation right in Section 5 is not affected, and nothing here takes away rights you have under the consumer law of your own country. We will not use Section 11 to weaken this paragraph for plots already bought. If the site has to close for reasons outside our control, we will do our best to follow the same steps.
