Product / Offer Description
Trace is a digital participation project hosted on traceglobal.net. The project allows individuals to create a symbolic digital record on the Trace map by selecting one available pixel and associating it with a short personal submission. For a one-time payment of 3 USD, a participant may record one symbolic digital coordinate within the Trace platform. This participation is entirely virtual and exists only within the Trace website and its internal digital system. It does not represent ownership of land, territory, real estate, or any physical location on Earth.
1. What the Product Is
The product offered through Trace is a one-time digital participation in the Trace project. When a user completes a purchase, the user receives the ability to create a single participation record on the Trace map. This participation record consists of:
- one selected pixel on the Trace map
- one symbolic digital coordinate associated with that pixel
- an optional public name of up to 30 characters
- a user-submitted text of up to 200 characters
- a date of participation
- a unique pixel number or identifier within the Trace system
- a downloadable digital participation card linked to that record
This product is not a physical good. It is not shipped. It is not delivered outside the Trace platform except in the form of digital access and a downloadable participation card.
2. What the User Receives
After successful payment and successful creation of the participation record, the user receives:
- a recorded symbolic pixel within the Trace system
- storage of that record within the Trace database
- availability of that record through the Trace website
- a downloadable digital participation card containing the main participation details
- a QR code on the card that links back to the relevant Trace page or record on the Trace website
- access to the participation record via a direct link within the Trace platform
The participation card is provided as a downloadable digital file and may be made available in common formats such as PNG and/or PDF, depending on platform functionality at the time of delivery. Users may download the participation card for personal use, storage, or printing. The platform may also provide options to access or share the participation record through:
- a direct link to the record on the Trace website
- QR code access
- built-in sharing features, where available
Any sharing functionality (including sharing to social media or third-party platforms) is provided for convenience only and may depend on device, browser, or third-party platform capabilities. Trace does not control, guarantee, or assume responsibility for how third-party platforms display, distribute, modify, or preserve shared content. The participation card may include, depending on the information submitted by the user:
- the selected coordinate
- the participation date
- the pixel number or pixel identifier
- the submitted public name, if provided
- the submitted message
- a QR code linked to the corresponding Trace page
The participation card is a digital project artifact created for personal viewing, saving, sharing, or printing by the participant. It serves as a symbolic record of participation within Trace only and does not represent ownership, certification, or legal rights of any kind.
3. Price and Payment Structure
The price of one participation record is 3 USD per pixel. This is a one-time payment. Trace does not sell subscriptions, recurring plans, memberships, or automatically renewing services in connection with this offer. Each participation is purchased separately. Each successfully completed payment applies to one individual pixel record unless otherwise explicitly stated on the website at the time of purchase. The price is presented as a fixed participation price for the digital Trace experience described on this page.
4. Nature of the Participation
Trace is designed as a symbolic digital project. Participation in Trace means that a user chooses to leave a digital trace within the internal map system of the Trace platform. The selected pixel and associated content exist only as part of the Trace website and its internal digital environment. The record is meaningful only within the context of the project itself. Participation in Trace does not provide the user with:
- ownership of land
- property rights
- territorial rights
- legal title to any location
- cadastral registration
- real-world geographic control
- intellectual property rights in the platform itself
- financial rights, securities, or investment rights
A pixel recorded through Trace is a symbolic digital participation record only.
5. No Investment or Financial Expectation
Trace is not an investment product, speculative asset, security, financial instrument, or profit-generating scheme. A participation record or participation card purchased through Trace does not carry any guaranteed monetary value, resale value, appreciation potential, financial return, dividend right, or future revenue right. Trace does not promise, advertise, or imply that any pixel, participation card, or digital record will increase in value now or in the future. Users participate voluntarily for symbolic, expressive, commemorative, artistic, personal, or social reasons only.
6. Public and Private Elements of the Product
Trace includes both public-facing and internal elements. The following user-submitted content may be publicly displayed on the Trace website:
- the submitted public name, if the user chooses to provide one
- the submitted text attached to the participation record
Other system data may remain internal and may be stored or processed only for the operation, administration, integrity, moderation, security, support, and maintenance of the platform. Users should understand that anything they intentionally submit for public display may be visible to other visitors of the Trace website. Users should not submit sensitive personal information in the public name or text fields.
7. Content Submission and Moderation
All participation content submitted through Trace is subject to moderation rules and project guidelines. The user may submit:
- one optional public name, up to the stated character limit
- one short text, up to the stated character limit
Content may be reviewed using automated moderation tools, including AI-assisted systems, together with any additional review procedures used by Trace where necessary. Trace may reject, restrict, hide, edit technical presentation of, or remove submitted content that violates project rules, applicable law, platform integrity requirements, or the intended spirit of the project. Examples of prohibited or restricted content may include content related to:
- hate or discrimination
- incitement of hostility or violence
- political propaganda or inflammatory political messaging
- war-related glorification or harmful conflict messaging
- gambling or casino promotion
- fraud, scams, or illegal activity
- abusive, harmful, or clearly inappropriate submissions
Passing an automated moderation step does not create a permanent or unconditional right to public display. Trace reserves the right to take further moderation action if content is later determined to violate the project’s rules or legal obligations.
8. Scope of the Offer
The offer made through Trace is limited to the digital participation described on this page. The purchase includes only the following core elements:
- recording of one symbolic pixel participation within the Trace platform
- storage and association of the user submission with that participation
- generation and availability of a digital participation card
- access through the Trace website and Trace-linked QR functionality
The offer does not include:
- ownership or transfer of any real-world asset
- exclusive control over Earth coordinates outside the Trace platform
- legal certification of location ownership
- guaranteed permanent public visibility in all circumstances
- commercial exploitation rights
- future monetary benefit
- offline services or physical fulfillment
9. QR Code and Platform Dependency
Participation records and participation cards are platform-dependent. Any QR code, link, coordinate display, or record view associated with the purchased participation is intended to function within the Trace website ecosystem. Scanning the QR code or using the related link directs the viewer back to the relevant page, record, or experience on the Trace website. The participation record does not have independent legal or commercial existence outside the Trace platform.
10. User Responsibility
Each user is responsible for the content the user submits to the Trace platform. By completing a purchase and creating a participation record, the user confirms that the submitted name and text do not violate applicable law, third-party rights, or the rules of the project. Users are also responsible for how they store, use, share, print, display, or otherwise distribute their participation card after it has been made available to them. Trace is not responsible for third-party interpretation, republication, misuse, or unauthorized external use of a downloaded participation card once it has been accessed by the user.
11. Delivery of the Digital Product
The product is considered digitally delivered when the participation has been successfully processed within the Trace system and the user’s participation record and digital participation card have been successfully created and made available through the platform. Successful delivery may include, as applicable:
- completion of the payment process
- successful recording of the selected pixel
- successful storage of the user submission
- successful creation of the participation card
- successful availability of the relevant record through the Trace website
Because the product is digital and created specifically as part of the user’s completed participation, the offer is structured as an immediate-access digital service within the Trace platform.
12. Refund Position
As a general rule, payments made for successfully completed Trace participation are non-refundable once the digital participation has been successfully recorded and the corresponding digital participation card has been created and made available to the user. However, Trace may review refund requests in limited circumstances, including where:
- a verified technical failure prevented proper creation or delivery of the purchased participation
- a duplicate charge occurred
- a payment issue requires corrective handling
- a refund is required by applicable law or by a payment provider’s binding process
Moderation action taken against content that violates project rules does not automatically create a right to a refund.
13. Voluntary Nature of Participation
Participation in Trace is entirely voluntary. Users are not required to participate in order to browse the website or view public project content. A purchase is made only when the user voluntarily chooses to create a symbolic participation record under the terms made available before payment. Trace does not guarantee personal significance, public reaction, artistic recognition, future relevance, or any external value arising from participation. The meaning of participation is subjective and depends on the user’s own intentions and interpretation.
14. Project Character
Trace is best understood as a digital participation project, a symbolic archive, and a public-facing social and creative concept built around the idea of leaving a trace. Its value lies in participation itself: the act of recording a symbolic mark, attaching a short name or message, and becoming part of a larger digital map created by many individual contributors over time. The product offered by Trace is therefore not ownership, speculation, or status. It is a clearly defined, limited, one-time digital participation experience within the Trace platform.
Refund Policy
This Refund Policy explains the conditions under which payments made on traceglobal.net may or may not be refunded. By completing a purchase on the Trace platform, you agree to this Refund Policy.
1. Nature of the Product
