We have developed certain automated procedures to check the quality of your pictures. Upon upload all pictures will come with a reference for the maximum TV size they are suitable to display on. Of course, the process is not bullet proof, so you can manually correct the reference.

Your art will be visible to the users you grant access to. After upload, you will have the option to select all sharing settings. To make your pictures and works popular, we advise you not to restrict the visibility and keep them open to the world. This way, your art could be promoted and viewed, for example, on the large TV display in a top hotel lobby in London or Dubai.

You can crop pictures both, when you place them in My Collection, so that you view a prefered part of the original and when you upload your own pictures so that you present your art in the way you would like users to view it. Please note that during crop display quality may be reduced.

When you upload pictures we use sofisticated process to analyze the image and automatically create relevant tags. You can add additional tags and/or remove auto tags that you don't consider relevant. We highly advise you to use tags during upload because we use them for relevant searches.

In very rare circumstances when our auto tag algorithms detect certain images related to adult nature and/or other inappropriate content, we may postpone the image availability until administrator approval. We apologies if this delay creates any inconvenience. We would like to make our service available to the general audience and sometimes our auto tag system may not work properly. If your uploaded picture is flagged by other users, our administrator approval is once again required.

We believe that all artists, professional or amateur, should be compensated for their talent and effort. We consider all internet users as artists. No matter who you are, what counts is the work you upload and the attention it generates. You will be rewarded with 1 cent for like$ you get.

Like$ are awarded by our confirmed members for pieces of art they like. Each day, confirmed members are provided with 10 like$ (for a total of 3,560 like$ per year, equivalent to $35.60), so they can award other fellow art contributors with them.

Like$ are special, because they have monetary value. At this stage, like$ have a value of 1 cent. You can award a total of 10 like$ per day. Please value your like$ and award them with care.

Regular likes are unlimited and you can like as many pieces of art as you wish. Your likes do not have monetary value.

All members who have completed the registration of their payment accounts with us are confirmed members. To become a confirmed member you have to request a payment to be made to your alipay/wechat/paypal account. Once you confirm the payment of the small amount received from us, you become a confirmed member and you are ready to receive regular payments.

We do not collect data of your bank accounts, debit or credit cards. At this stage we work only with alipay, wechat and paypal. All we need is for you to use with us the same email/phone that you use with your prefered payment provider.

Once you are confirmed member, $ will appear on the pieces of art that you visit. You can award upto 10 likes$ each day.

Views, TV displays and rotations are hugely important and in many cases are more relevant to the quality and likeability of your work. However, we believe that like$ represent the positive experience of the general audience, hence our desire to reward your talent based on the like$ your work generates.

In our platform, art is not just content, art is also art displayed on millions of devices and smart TVs, serving as large digital canvases. Your art could end up being displayed in a hotel lobby in Shanghai, conference room in New York, or simply in a home in Vienna (depending on the sharing rights you grant during upload). We believe that you should be rewarded if you are liked. We work nonstop to make sure we generate enough revenue to provide for the compensation you earned.

You get compensated for the generated like$ across all uploaded pieces of art.

All like$ you generate accounts for 1 cent each, which will be credited in your account. Once you reach a minimum of $50 in your account, you can request a payment to be made to your paylal, wechat or alipay account. There is an administrative charge of $5 for each payment request.

We believe that users should be rewarded for their uploads - this is their work and their content, and if it's liked it should be rewarded. We intend to monetise the service via sponsors and advertisers. At this stage, most of the money is secured by our investors. Once we increase our revenue, the payments to our fellow contributors will change.

We expect the payment to change once more advertisers are secured and the revenue generated is increased.

We work constantly to secure the payments to our users and it is not fair to them, if we pay for fake and/or manipulated like$. Hence, if our systems detect that like$ are generated via multiple and/or linked accounts belonging of one or more people, we will reject the payment.

The first 10 like$ each day will count towards monetary rewards to other fellow art providers. In essence, we provide you with a daily allowance of 10 like$ with monetary compensation that you can reward other users with. This is $35.60 per year that you can disribute to other fellow art uploaders. You can like as many pieces of art as you want. Regular likes do not have monetary value.

Certainly, there is no limit on the number of likes you can generate. Both, regular likes and paid like$ will be accounted for.

Only one account per user is allowed. If we detect multiple accounts linked to the same user we will reject payments. You can use your account on as many devices as you desire.
