 | The minimum purchase is $100 (100 pixels), and the maximum purchase is whatever is left. |
| Only websites relevant to metals, mining and minerals industry will be accepted. We reserve the right to accept or decline an entry. |
| When you 'buy' our pixels you will not 'own' any part of the homepage or SearchMetals.com, but rather you are granted the right to submit an image and link which will then be published on the homepage in the respective space you have paid for. |
| You cannot change the image or link once you have submitted them, so you must be sure of the image & link you want on the homepage, which will be there for at least 5 years. The only exception is if you have a strong reason why you need a change to your image/link, eg. your site no longer exists, major structural change to your site, lawsuits, etc. |
| If your image and link are accepted and published on the homepage, you cannot get a refund. |
| The site and homepage will be online for at least 5 years (starting from 10th December 2007), so at least until 9th December 2012. |
| If your link is accepted and you later change the content of the linked site to show offensive/obscene/adult material then your link will be removed until you provide a new one, and you will not get a refund of any kind for the link downtime. |
| If for whatever reason in the future you want your image and link removed from the homepage, you can do that, but you will not get a refund and the space will become publically available again. |
| Images must be the exact size you have paid for (eg. 100 pixels = 10x10 pixels). |
| Images must be in GIF or JPEG format, and a reasonable file size. |
| Images must NOT be animated. |
| Links must be to web pages only and begin with http:// |
| You must have the authority to provide the image and link for the website you submit. |
| Funds must be fully recieved and cleared before your pixels go live on the homepage. |
| Once an order is placed and the funds have cleared, your pixels will be available online within 48 hours. |
