Here is the service without shortcuts, so you can decide whether it is right for you before spending anything.
A verifiable astronomical reference is kept distinct from your personal words.
There are two separate things: a real celestial object identified by catalog data, and your symbolic dedication made of a chosen name, date and words.
The A Star For You Private Registry retains the association. You purchase this service and the content listed in your selected offer—nothing more or less.
No. The contract does not transfer ownership of a celestial object.
The gift’s value lies in your words and their connection to a precise, verifiable point in the sky—not in ownership that the service cannot grant.
No. The chosen name is retained only in the A Star For You Private Registry. It does not replace the scientific identifier or become an official astronomical designation.
The documents show the chosen dedication name beside the catalog identifier without confusing them.
It records the private dedication, available astronomical data and verification code. It is not a title of ownership or an act of scientific naming.
Consumer rights arise from the order, confirmation and terms of sale.
See where the data comes from, what each offer includes and how the dedication can be checked.
Yes. Each dedication is connected to a real star with a catalog identifier and coordinates that can be checked independently.
The data source is SIMBAD, maintained by the Strasbourg astronomical data center. Using this public source does not mean it endorses the commercial service.

The catalog and checkout show fixed USD prices, applicable sales tax, and optional extras before payment. There are no delivery costs: A Star For You delivers digital files only.
The purchase is one-off. There is no subscription or annual registry fee.
Naked-eye visibility is not guaranteed.
It depends on brightness, season, location, horizon, light pollution, weather and equipment. Observation guidance provides context without promising an outcome.
Before payment, edit details in the preview. Afterwards, contact support promptly; whether a correction is possible depends on document generation and production status.
Customer typing errors, seller errors, files that do not match the approved preview, non-conformity and withdrawal are distinct cases with distinct remedies.
