One Million Characters (“the Service”, “we”, “us”) is an online publication wall accessible at onemillioncharacters.com. The Service is operated by:
These Terms are drawn up in English; English is the contract language between us and the user.
Visitors may purchase characters of text which, once paid for, are published on a public wall at $1 per character. The total capacity of the wall is one million characters. Each purchase is final upon publication.
The Service is intended for individuals aged 18 or older. Prices are displayed in USD and are inclusive of any VAT or other consumption taxes applicable in the purchaser’s country of residence; for consumers in the European Union, VAT is accounted for under the EU OSS scheme.
The following content is not allowed and will be rejected or removed without refund:
We screen every submission with an automated word filter and the OpenAI Moderation API before payment. Submissions that fail the screening are rejected and no charge is made.
All sales are final upon publication. Refunds are issued only in the case of a technical failure on our side (for example, payment is captured but the message never appears on the wall).
If content is removed from the wall because it breaches section 3, the purchase fee is forfeited in full and no refund is due. By completing a purchase you agree that the fee is the consideration for publication subject to the content policy, and that a breach of that policy relieves us of any obligation to refund.
Under Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83 and corresponding Polish consumer law, a consumer normally has 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract for digital content. When you tick the “request immediate publication” checkbox at checkout, you expressly consent to immediate performance of the service and acknowledge that this waives your 14-day right of withdrawal once the message has been published.
Anyone can report content that they believe breaches section 3 by emailing thedevinczi@gmail.com with the approximate position or a screenshot. We review reports in good faith, typically within 24–48 hours. Where we conclude that content breaches the policy, it is removed from the wall without a refund to the purchaser (see section 4).
If your content is removed, you may appeal the decision by replying to the notice we send to your purchase email. Appeals are reviewed by a human before any decision is made final.
By publishing a message you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, cache and distribute that message as part of the public wall for as long as the Service operates. You retain ownership of your content.
The Service is provided “as is”. Except where Polish or EU consumer law requires otherwise, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Poland. Disputes with consumers are subject to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the consumer’s country of residence where those rules are more favourable. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be brought before the courts competent for the seat of the operator, without prejudice to a consumer’s right to sue in the courts of their own country of residence.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version you agreed to at the moment of purchase is recorded with your purchase and governs that purchase. Material changes take effect for new purchases only.
