Terms and Conditions

The agreement below consists of the AstroVault Service-Specific Terms followed by the full Terms & Conditions.

Effective July 11, 2026 · v1

AstroVault Service-Specific Terms

These Service-Specific Terms form part of the agreement between you and Astro Solutions LLC, together with our Terms & Conditions below. In case of conflict regarding the specific services described here, these Service-Specific Terms prevail to the extent permitted by law.

1. Your content and ownership

You keep full ownership of the images, metadata, notes, equipment data, and other materials you upload (“Your Content”). We do not claim ownership of Your Content. We will never sell Your Content. The licenses you grant below exist only so we can operate, improve, and (where you choose) showcase the Service — nothing more.

License to provide the Service. To operate the Service, you grant Astro Solutions LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, back up, reproduce, adapt, generate thumbnails and previews of, extract technical metadata from, plate-solve, and otherwise process Your Content as necessary to deliver the Service and the features you use. This license is limited to running the Service for you. It ends when you delete Your Content or close your account, except for routine backups, which are purged on a rolling basis.

Helping us improve the Service. We continually improve AstroVault. To do this:

(a) We may analyze Your Content in an aggregated and de-identified form — meaning in a way that does not identify you or republish your images — to understand how features perform and to build better tools for the community. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the Service, and you may object at any time.

(b) With your permission, we may also use Your Content in identifiable form — including your images and data derived from them, such as plate-solving and analysis results — to develop, train, and improve our features, algorithms, and models, and to conduct research that benefits the AstroVault community. We obtain this permission through your account’s privacy settings. You can change your choice at any time; turning it off stops future use of Your Content for these purposes and does not affect your access to any feature you use on your own data. Using Your Content this way never includes selling it, and any public display of an identifiable image is governed by “Showcasing your work” below (with attribution).

Showcasing your work. If you choose to make an image public or submit it to a community gallery, featured collection, or “image of the day,” you grant Astro Solutions LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and distribute that image to operate and promote those features — for example on gallery pages, social media, or marketing — always with attribution to you (by your display name or as you direct). This license applies only to images you choose to share publicly, lasts only while the image remains public on the platform, and ends when you make the image private, remove it, or delete your account. We will not sell your images, and we will not remove your attribution.

Location in image files. Astronomical image files can contain the coordinates of your observing site in their technical metadata. We treat these coordinates as your personal data. We do not publish your observing-site coordinates when an image is shown publicly.

We do not sell your content, and we do not license it to third parties except as needed to run, improve, or (where you choose) publicly showcase the Service as described above. We cannot resolve copyright-ownership disputes between users. If you believe another user has infringed your rights, please reach out via our contact page.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) upload content that is not astrophotography or astronomy-related, or that is unlawful, infringing, or malicious; (b) access the Service through automated scraping, or attempt to circumvent storage, rate, or usage limits; (c) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service or its client code, including its WebAssembly modules and JavaScript/TypeScript application code; (d) share, sell, or misuse API keys, including AstroVault NINA plugin keys, or use our API to build or operate a competing image-display or gallery product; or (e) interfere with the integrity, security, or performance of the Service. We may suspend or terminate accounts that materially or repeatedly violate these rules, and we maintain a policy of terminating repeat copyright infringers.

3. Warranties, liability, and your backups

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, Astro Solutions LLC’s total liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of, damage to, corruption of, or inability to retrieve data or Your Content.

We take protecting Your Content seriously: files are stored on redundant cloud infrastructure, protected by integrity checks, and covered by routine backups. Like any online service, we cannot promise that loss will never occur — which is why our liability is limited as described above — and for truly irreplaceable originals, keeping an independent copy is always good practice.

Your sole and exclusive remedy for any failure or interruption of the Service is, at our reasonable discretion, restoration of affected content from available backups, re-performance of the affected service, or a credit or refund of fees for the affected period. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, or the mandatory rights of consumers in their country of residence.

4. Your content after termination or lapse

Items you delete are moved to the trash (“Black Hole”), where you can restore them or delete them permanently. If your paid subscription lapses or your account is terminated (other than for serious or unlawful violations of these terms), your content remains retrievable for at least thirty (30) days; after that, we may permanently delete it from our systems and those of our storage providers, including items remaining in the trash. Routine backup copies are purged on a rolling basis after permanent deletion.

5. Subscriptions and automatic renewal

Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as selected) at the then-current price, using your saved payment method, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your account dashboard; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We will notify you in advance of renewals and price changes as required by applicable law. The renewal price, frequency, and cancellation method are also presented to you at checkout before you subscribe.

6. AstroVault NINA plugin

AstroVault may provide a companion plugin for the N.I.N.A. astrophotography software that lets you upload images directly from your imaging computer. Subject to these terms, Astro Solutions LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the plugin solely to upload your own content to your AstroVault account. You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, modify, resell, or redistribute the plugin. The plugin is provided “AS IS,” without warranties of any kind. The plugin authenticates using an API key issued to your account; you are responsible for keeping your API key confidential, and any activity performed with your API key is your responsibility. We may update, suspend, or revoke the plugin or your API key at any time. N.I.N.A. is third-party software governed by its own license; this clause does not grant you any rights in N.I.N.A. itself.

7. Storage limits and beta features

Storage limits. Each subscription plan includes a defined amount of storage and, where stated, limits on file size, upload rate, or bandwidth. We may refuse, throttle, or remove content that exceeds your plan’s limits, after reasonable notice where practicable. Details of current limits are shown on the pricing page and in your account.

Beta features. Some features (including the weather and planner tools) may be offered on a preview or “beta” basis. Beta features are provided “AS IS,” may change or be withdrawn at any time, and may be less reliable than generally available features. We disclaim liability arising from your use of beta features to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Users must choose the desired Product and verify their purchase selection.
After having reviewed the information displayed in the purchase selection, Users may place the order by submitting it.

Order submission

When the User submits an order, the following applies:

The submission of an order determines contract conclusion and therefore creates for the User the obligation to pay the price, taxes and possible further fees and expenses, as specified on the order page.

Prices

Users are informed during the purchasing process and before order submission, about any fees, taxes and costs (including, if any, delivery costs) that they will be charged.

Unless otherwise agreed with the User, reimbursements will be made using the same means of payment as used to process the initial transaction. In any event, the User shall not incur any costs or fees as a result of such reimbursement.

…on the purchase of services

Where a User exercises the right of withdrawal after having requested that the service be performed before the withdrawal period expires, the User shall pay to the Owner an amount which is in proportion to the part of service provided.

for the provision of services, after the service has been fully performed if the performance has begun with the consumer’s prior express request, and with their acknowledgment that their right to cancel is lost once the contract has been fully performed;

Brazilian User rights

Right of regret

Unless an applicable exception is stated below, Users who are Consumers in Brazil have a legal right of regret under Brazilian law. This means that the Consumer has the right to withdraw from contracts made online (distance contracts or any contract signed away from business premises) within seven (7) days of the date the contract was entered into or the receipt of the product or service, for any reason and without justification. Users that do not qualify as Consumers, cannot benefit from the rights described in this section.

Exercising the right of regret

To exercise their right of regret, Users must send to the Owner an unequivocal statement of their intention to withdraw from the contract.

Regarding the purchase of a service, the regret period expires seven (7) days after the day that the contract is entered into and only if the service has not yet been provided.

Effects of regret

However, any additional costs resulting from the choice of a particular delivery method other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by the Owner, will not be reimbursed.

Such reimbursement shall be made without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 14 days from the day on which the Owner is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from the contract or the actual return of the product, whichever occurs later. Unless otherwise agreed with the User, reimbursements will be made using the same means of payment as used to process the initial transaction. In any event, the User shall not incur any costs or fees as a result of such reimbursement.

…on the purchase of services

Where a User exercises the right of regret after having requested that the service be performed before the regret period expires, the User shall pay to the Owner an amount which is in proportion to the part of the service provided.

Guarantees

Legal guarantee of conformity for Digital Products under EU law

Under EU law, for a minimum period of 2 years from delivery or, in case of Digital Products supplied continuously for more than 2 years for the entire supply period, traders guarantee conformity of the Digital Products they provide to Consumers.

Where Users qualify as European Consumers, the legal guarantee of conformity applies to the Digital Products available on this Application in accordance with the laws of the country of their habitual residence.

National laws of such country may grant Users broader rights.

Legal guarantee of conformity for services for Consumers in Brazil

The legal guarantee applicable to services sold by this Application complies with the following terms, according to the Consumer Protection Code:

non-durable services shall have a thirty-day (30 day) guarantee; and
durable services shall have a ninety-day (90 day) guarantee.

The warranty period starts from the end of the performance of services.

The warranty is not applicable in cases of service misuse, natural events or if it has been subjected to any maintenance other than that provided by this Application.
The warranty may be claimed through the contact channels provided by this Application. If applicable, the Owner shall bear the costs of shipping any goods for technical assessment. The Owner, at its own discretion, may also offer a contractual warranty in addition to the legal warranty.
The regulations applicable to contractual warranties can be found in the specifications provided by this Application.
If no such information is provided, only the statutory provisions shall apply.

Liability and indemnification

Unless otherwise explicitly stated or agreed with Users, the Owner’s liability for damages in connection with the execution of the Agreement shall be excluded, limited and/or reduced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

The User agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners and employees harmless from and against any claim or demand ⁠— including but not limited to lawyer's fees and costs ⁠— made by any third party due to or in relation with any culpable violation of these Terms, third-party rights or statutory provisions connected to the use of the Service by the User or its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners and employees to the extent allowed by applicable law.

Limitation of liability

Unless otherwise explicitly stated and without prejudice to mandatory law, Users shall have no right to claim damages against the Owner (or any natural or legal person acting on its behalf).

This does not apply to damages to life, health or physical integrity, damages resulting from the breach of material contractual obligations such as any obligation strictly necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract, and/or damages resulting from intent or gross negligence, as long as this Application has been appropriately and correctly used by the User.

Unless damages have been caused by way of intent or gross negligence, or they affect life, health or physical integrity, the Owner shall only be liable to the extent of typical and foreseeable damages at the moment the contract was entered into.

In particular, within the limits stated above, the Owner shall not be liable for:

damages or losses resulting from interruptions or malfunctions of this Application due to acts of force majeure, or unforeseen and unforeseeable events and, in any case, independent of the will and beyond the control of the Owner, such as, but not limited to, failures or disruptions of telephone or electrical lines, the Internet and / or other means of transmission, unavailability of websites, strikes, natural disasters, viruses and cyber attacks, interruptions in the delivery of products, third-party services or applications;

any loss of business opportunities and any other loss, even indirect, that may be incurred by the User (such as, but not limited to, trading losses, loss of revenue, income, profits or anticipated savings, loss of contracts or business relationships, loss of reputation or goodwill, etc.);

any losses that are not the direct consequence of a breach of the Terms by the Owner;

any damage, prejudice or loss occurring due to viruses or other malware contained in or connected to files available for download from the internet or via this Application. Users are responsible for implementing sufficient security measures – such as anti-viruses and firewalls to prevent any such infection or attack and for securing backup copies of all data or information exchanged via or uploaded to this Application.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, condition, warranty, right or remedy which the User may have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any similar state and territory legislation and which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified (non-excludable right). To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability to the User, including liability for a breach of a non-excludable right and liability which is not otherwise excluded under these Terms, is limited, at the Owner’s sole discretion, to the re-performance of the services or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

US Users

Disclaimer of Warranties

This Application is provided strictly on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Use of the Service is at Users’ own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Owner expressly disclaims all conditions, representations, and warranties — whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of third-party rights. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by the User from the Owner or through the Service will create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Owner, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees do not warrant that the content is accurate, reliable or correct; that the Service will meet Users’ requirements; that the Service will be available at any particular time or location, uninterrupted or secure; that any defects or errors will be corrected; or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Any content downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the Service is downloaded at Users' own risk and Users shall be solely responsible for any damage to Users’ computer system or mobile device or loss of data that results from such download or Users’ use of the Service.

The Owner does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised or offered by a third party through the Service or any hyperlinked website or service, and the Owner shall not be a party to or in any way monitor any transaction between Users and third-party providers of products or services.

The Service may become inaccessible or it may not function properly with Users’ web browser, mobile device, and/or operating system. The owner cannot be held liable for any perceived or actual damages arising from Service content, operation, or use of this Service.

Federal law, some states, and other jurisdictions, do not allow the exclusion and limitations of certain implied warranties. The above exclusions may not apply to Users. This Agreement gives Users specific legal rights, and Users may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers and exclusions under this agreement shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Limitations of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Owner, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees be liable for:

any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the Service; and
any damage, loss or injury resulting from hacking, tampering or other unauthorized access or use of the Service or User account or the information contained therein;
any errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content;
personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from User access to or use of the Service;
any unauthorized access to or use of the Owner’s secure servers and/or any and all personal information stored therein;
any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Service;
any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Service;
any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Service; and/or
the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any User or third party.

In no event shall the Owner, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees be liable for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs in an amount exceeding the amount paid by User to the Owner hereunder in the preceding 12 months, or the period of duration of this agreement between the Owner and User, whichever is shorter.

This limitation of liability section shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if the User has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, therefore the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to the User. The terms give User specific legal rights, and User may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under the terms shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Indemnification

The User agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Owner and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees harmless from and against any and all claims or demands, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, arising from

User’s use of and access to the Service, including any data or content transmitted or received by User;
User’s violation of these terms, including, but not limited to, User’s breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in these terms;
User’s violation of any third-party rights, including, but not limited to, any right of privacy or intellectual property rights;
User’s violation of any statutory law, rule, or regulation;
any content that is submitted from User’s account, including third party access with User’s unique username, password or other security measure, if applicable, including, but not limited to, misleading, false, or inaccurate information;
User’s willfull misconduct; or
statutory provision by User or its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees to the extent allowed by applicable law.

Service interruption

To ensure the best possible service level, the Owner reserves the right to interrupt the Service for maintenance, system updates or any other changes, informing the Users appropriately.

Within the limits of law, the Owner may also decide to suspend or discontinue the Service altogether. If the Service is discontinued, the Owner will cooperate with Users to enable them to withdraw personal data or information and will respect Users' rights relating to continued product use and/or compensation, as provided for by applicable law.

Additionally, the Service might not be available due to reasons outside the Owner’s reasonable control, such as “force majeure” events (infrastructural breakdowns or blackouts etc.).

Changes to these Terms

The Owner reserves the right to amend or otherwise modify these Terms at any time. In such cases, the Owner will appropriately inform the User of these changes.

Such changes will only affect the relationship with the User from the date communicated to Users onwards.

The continued use of the Service will signify the User’s acceptance of the revised Terms. If Users do not wish to be bound by the changes, they must stop using the Service and may terminate the Agreement.

The applicable previous version will govern the relationship prior to the User's acceptance. The User can obtain any previous version from the Owner.

If legally required, the Owner will notify Users in advance of when the modified Terms will take effect.

The Owner will appropriately inform the User of upcoming changes 14 days before they come into effect.

The Owner will inform the User of such changes by sending an email.

Should Consumers in France not accept the modified Terms, they shall have the right to terminate the Agreement without any penalty nor right to claim compensation up to four months following the day on which the modified Terms have become effective.

Assignment of contract

The Owner reserves the right to transfer, assign, dispose of by novation, or subcontract any or all rights or obligations under these Terms, taking the User’s legitimate interests into account. Provisions regarding changes of these Terms will apply accordingly.

Severability

Should any provision of these Terms be deemed or become invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

US Users

Any such invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted, construed and reformed to the extent reasonably required to render it valid, enforceable and consistent with its original intent. These Terms constitute the entire Agreement between Users and the Owner with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other communications, including but not limited to all prior agreements, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. These Terms will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

EU Users

Should any provision of these Terms be or be deemed void, invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall do their best to find, in an amicable way, an agreement on valid and enforceable provisions thereby substituting the void, invalid or unenforceable parts.
In case of failure to do so, the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions, if so permitted or stated under the applicable law.

Without prejudice to the above, the nullity, invalidity or impossibility to enforce a particular provision of these Terms shall not nullify the entire Agreement, unless the severed provisions are essential to the Agreement, or of such importance that the parties would not have entered into the contract if they had known that the provision would not be valid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would translate into an unacceptable hardship on any of the parties.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of the place where the Owner is based, as disclosed in the relevant section of this document, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
