All artist’s images and written content shown on this site are copyright to the individual artists and may not be downloaded, copied or reproduced in any way without the permission of the artist concerned.
When an artist creates a Mobile Greeting Card they are giving Mobtal.com express permission to allow their images to be used in a specific product format. Artists retain full copyright of their M-Card image at all times.
The buyer of a Mobile Greeting Card is legally bound by the Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and will infringe the artists copyright if any attempt is made to upload the image to another device or medium without the artist’s knowledge and express written consent. A customer buying the artist’s artwork is not permitted to use the artwork image as a Mobile Greeting Card (M-Card) and will be in breach of the artist’s copyright if he does so.
Mobile Greeting Cards (M-Cards) can either be downloaded to your own phone as wallpaper or sent to another person’s phone as a greeting card with a message.
The M-Card image will automatically re-size to fit any mobile / cell phone and cannot be forwarded or uploaded to another device. Mobile / cell phone users can view M-Cards at wap.mobtal.com on the mobile web.

The category ‘Charity/Non-profit’ has been designed for registered charities based in Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, United States or Wales.
Please select a charity/non-profit sub-category when applying for membership. We have purposely designed the sub-category descriptions to be very broad in their scope (e.g. Wildlife) for organisations that are involved in a wide range of activities whilst also creating very specific categories (e.g. Animal Ι Protection Ι Orangutans Ι Borneo) for organisations that focused on a particular cause.
Please contact us prior to membership if you feel your charity could benefit from the creation of a specific category to highlight your particular cause.
To help promote awareness for your cause you will receive a Charitable M-Card page. This will allow artists to donate their M-Card profit to your organisation. The M-Card page will also display your charity registration number (if applicable) and provide visitors a direct link to the donation page on your own website.
Funds generated due to charity M-Cards are the result of what we term ‘indirect fund raising’. The amazing generosity of the artist combined with the customer’s love of the artist work results in a small but vital donation to your cause.
In order to promote ‘direct fund raising’ we have added a Donation button on the artwork page itself and your Charitable M-Card page so that interested visitors can donate directly to your cause.
Artists may choose to support your cause by donating the profit from an M-Card sale to your organisation (25p from a £1.50 GBP sale). At the end of each Donation Period the money raised will be paid to you by the Payment Date shown below:
Donation Period - 1 April to 30 September / Payment Date - 31 December
Donation Period - 1 October to 31 March / Payment Date - 30 June
