| Q: What is Pixels4Charities.com all about? |
| A: Pixels4Charities.com is all about helping
charities. The idea is that people or businesses will advertise (an
image and up to 6 links) on the pixel grid starting at $1 per pixel. The
grid will be displayed on this website for at least 5 years and on the
iPhone/iPod Touch app.
Additionally, each time someone advertises, the information will be sent out to all of our
Twitter and
Facebook followers.
When the advertising space completely fills up, Pixels4Charities.com will donate
at least
$50,000 to
McMaster Children's Hospital.
In short, people advertise on the grid, reach millions of users, take
part in something amazing, and most importantly, help out a great
charity in the process. <top> |

| Q: Why McMaster Children's Hospital (Mac Kids)? |
| A: Two reasons: (1) Mac Kids is an amazing facility that provides
exceptional care for young children everywhere. (2) The creator of Pixels4Charities.com
is a McMaster University Engineering & Management alumni and is currently working on his
MBA at Mac. Let's just say he has a thing for McMaster.

| Q: Can I share the current pixel count on my website? |
A: Absolutely. We thank you in advance for your interest in supporting Pixels 4 Charities. Just include the following HTML:
<a href="http://www.Pixels4Charities.com/" title="Pixels 4 Charities" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.Pixels4Charities.com/images/home/p4c_logo_home_LINKED.png"
alt="Pixels 4 Charities pixel count" border="0" width="250" height="100"></a>
It will look like this:

| Q: The pixel idea is so 2005. Why are you doing it again? |
| A: You're right that the $1 pixel grid isn't original, but remember Apple didn't invent
the mp3 player, it just produced the iPod and completely blew everyone away. Pixels4Charities.com
isn't claiming to re-invent the wheel on this one. We came up with a new and innovative method to advertise
(through social media and Apple's App Store) AND raise money for charity!

| |
| Q: Where will the ads be visible? |
| A: All ads are guaranteed to remain on Pixels4Charities.com for
a minimum of 5 years from the launch date of the website (continuing
until at least December 1, 2014). They will also be on the Pixls4Charity iPhone app
and posted on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

| |
| Q: Why is there a minimum number of pixels required? |
| A: The minimum size is a 10 pixels by 10 pixels square. The size restriction is imposed so that your image and ad is actually visible and clickable.

| |
| Q: Can I choose the location of my pixels? |
| A: Unfortunately, we cannot make any guarantees regarding the location of
your advertisement. Requests will be served on a first-come, first-serve basis. The minimum size is a 10 pixels by 10 pixels square. The size restriction is imposed so that your image and ad is actually visible and clickable.

| Q: Will I get a tax credit since the money will be
donated to a charity? |
| A: Unfortunately not. Since you are investing in advertising space,
you should look into writing this off as a business expense. A portion of the advertising
revenue will be donated after the advertising space completely fills up.<top> |
| |
| Q: If you're donating at least $50,000, where's the rest of
the money going? |
| A: We will be donating at least $50,000 to Mac Kids.
This is a portion of the proceeds. The rest of the money will be
divided into three major groups: (1) Future projects (we have tons of
cool, innovative ideas for the future!), (2) Development costs (paying
the people who made all of this happen), and (3) Future
maintenance/development costs to run this website for at least 5 years.

| |
| Q: How do I know the money will actually be donated? |
| A: We have been in contact with the Corporate & Community Fundraising
department at McMaster Children's Hospital and filled out all of the
required paperwork to register this fundraising initiative with them.
They are extremely excited about this idea and we are working closely with them to accomplish
our goal and fill up the advertising space as soon as possible.
