Terms of Contribution

Last updated: May 2026

1. Who operates this campaign

This contribution campaign is operated by Graham Preater for the development of PicaPal. PicaPal is currently a personal technology project. It is not a registered charity.

2. What contributions support

Contributions support the development of PicaPal technology, including development, prototyping, testing, hosting, AI-generation costs, and related project costs.

3. What contributors receive

As a thank-you, contributors receive a personalised AI-generated image or video according to the contribution option selected. Albert and Tilly are AI-generated characters. Images and videos are created automatically using the wall name provided by the contributor.

4. Not charity, not investment

Contributions do not provide equity, ownership, voting rights, investment rights, repayment rights, interest, or any expectation of financial return.

5. Payment authorisation and capture

When you contribute, your payment method may first be authorised. Your contribution is only captured if your personalised image or video is successfully created and saved. If generation fails, the payment authorisation will be cancelled and no contribution will be taken.

6. Digital content and cancellation

By contributing, you agree that your personalised digital image or video will be generated and made available immediately. You understand that once generation begins, cancellation rights may be affected.

7. Availability of generated media

Generated images and videos are made available temporarily. Contributors should save their image or video before leaving the result page. Where available, a temporary recovery link may be sent to the email address used during checkout. Generated media is normally deleted after 48 hours.

8. Public wall name

The public PicaPal wall displays only the wall name provided by the contributor. No email address, Stripe payment reference, card details, or exact contribution amount is shown on the public wall. Please use a display name rather than private information.

9. Moderation

PicaPal may refuse, edit, hide or remove wall names that are offensive, unlawful, abusive, misleading, or include private information such as email addresses, phone numbers or addresses.

10. Contact
