FAQ regarding admission to buythe.world
According to which criteria are countries distributed?
There is one important and all-important criterion: redirection to a website. This website MUST contain legal content. Accordingly, no requests will be processed that redirect to websites with illegal or prohibited content.
Websites with the following content are also excluded from inclusion:
– Politics
– Religion
– Alcohol & Tobacco
– Gambling
– Pornography
Is the offer decisive?
The artist selects from the requests the offer that best represents the entire art project or fits it with a view to its eternal existence.
What does “for eternity” mean?
Can the link be changed over time?
Should it be the case that the link to a website needs to be adjusted, the solitart office info@solitart.com can be contacted and the adjustment communicated.
The e-mail address and name of the person who sent the registration or offer must be provided.
Honestly, what's the point?
W. T. Falscher is a conceptual artist who surprises with his ideas. The “buythe.word” offer is serious in terms of donations from the proceeds to charities (see Swiss Kiss Bank) and the artist is also carrying out a concept project for four years (during Donald Trump’s second presidency) that reflects reality in art. This also includes buythe.word, in line with the president’s desire to acquire new or sovereign countries.
Does the land acquired from the website here also belong to me in reality?
No.
You only own the acquired and fictitious country from the world map on this website.
In reality, you have no rights to the country you acquire here. Is that clear?
When will I know that my offer has been accepted?
You will usually receive a message from us within 24 hours.
If your offer has been accepted, you will find our account details in the message. You can then transfer your offer to our bank account. Alternatively, you can also pay with Ethereum (ETH). We will also send you our wallet address for ETH.
After receipt of payment, your entry will be implemented within 24 hours: the corresponding country belongs to you and links to your desired website. Forever.
Will the amount I have paid be displayed publicly?
How can I be sure that the amount I have paid here will be donated to aid organizations?
However, first and foremost and as a concept of this work is the desire or greed to own a country and not necessarily to make a donation. The fact that we then donate the proceeds is our responsibility.
We publish the donations made both on the Swiss Kiss Bank website and here on this website (amount and names of the charities).
You can trust us.
Can I resell “my land”?
There is no trade for resellers here.
Either you want to be a part of this art form – then for ever, or not at all.
