Sometimes an order cannot be processed for the following reasons:

• You did not follow instructions and press the very last button 'RETURN TO MERCHANT BUTTON' at Paypal
• We need further details from you if this happens- in fact we will need you to supply all details of your order as we wont have got it. (e.g. address incomplete)
• The gift pack contains material that is threatening or offensive
• Payment was declined (you will receive an email at the time of ordering to state payment result)

Personalised Certificates - our policy on acceptable content?
Content of a threatening or offensive nature are not accepted and is against the law to be printed. If the message you want displayed on the certificate is of a "risky" nature, we do provide blank certificates for you to complete yourself.

We cannot offer refunds on blank certificates if they have been written, printed or marked in any way which makes them un-resellable. Back to top

Can I buy / own a star?
Stars are not physicaly for sale as they don't belong to any governing body to claim "tenancy" against. Therefore it is not possible to "own" a star as a matter of property.

Naming a star is therefore a novelty gift idea that holds no legal posession rights.
The star named will, most importantly, be a fond a unique gift to treasure as a memory of the special message or occasion for which the gift was given. Your Star will be a real star, unique to you in our deed data base and your on-line message will be eternal. For more information please refer to the section 'Is My Star Real?'.

Will my star name be officially recognised?
Official names for celestial objects are assigned by the International Astronomical Union. The I.A.U. does not offer a star naming service. Astronomers refer to the stars by their star catalogue number or co-ordinates. Companies offering a star-naming service, like ourselves, will keep their own record of your naming of a star, no other person registering through the same company will be issued with the same number. However, other companies might sell the same star number registration.

We believe in providing you with all the information to make your own decision - we make the naming as special as possible so the receiver will be able to treasure the thought. Back to top

Can I view the Wish Upon A Star register of stars online?

Yes, provided you have at the minimum placed your stars name in the message box on your order form. Even if you choose not to do this and cannot view your star on our data base, your star is still allocated and unique to you .
