You are responsible for your own communications and for any consequences arising out of them. The Communities are intended to allow users to send and receive messages and material that are legal, proper and related to the particular Community, and you agree that you shall use them only for this purpose.

We do not guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any communications posted in the Communities or endorse any opinions expressed in the Communities. You should take all due care in relying on material posted in the Communities, as this is done at your own risk.

Accordingly, it is our policy to respond to a notice of alleged infringement that complies with copyright law, and in particular, the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Responses may include removing or disabling access to content or material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating the right to access and use the Website. Misrepresenting that a work is infringing may likewise be subject to legal penalties. It is our policy to document all notices of alleged infringement upon which we decide to take action.

You must be aged 18 (or the legal age of majority) or over to place an order via the Website. By placing an order through the Website, you represent that you are at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority) and that the person to whom any product will be delivered is also 18 years old (or the legal age of majority). We reserve the right to request any buyer to provide written proof of age in any form. At the time of delivery, any shipment containing a product may require further the signature of an adult possessing valid picture identification issued by a government agency proving that he or she is at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority).

If you place an order using the Website, we will acknowledge your order by e-mail. Your order is an offer by you to purchase the product(s) ordered from us. If we do not have the product(s) in stock we will let you know and give you an estimated date on which such product(s) will be delivered to you.

Following our confirmation that the product(s) ordered is in stock and provision of an estimated delivery date, we will take payment from you (using the payment information provided when you placed your order) in respect of the product(s) ordered and will send you a confirmation (by e-mail) of dispatch of the product(s). That confirmation of dispatch constitutes our acceptance of your offer and the formation of a contract between you and us for the sale of those product(s) under these Terms & Conditions.

We will take reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website. We will retain details of your order and the terms under which it is placed. However, we do not generally make this accessible after the contract is concluded. You are therefore advised to retain a copy of your order details and the Terms & Conditions for your records.

6.2 - Lunar Missions Club

  2. the opportunity to participate in project reviews, investigations and voting to help inform key project decisions;

6.3 - Memory Box Vouchers

We may make digital vouchers available for purchase via the Website entitling purchasers to secure their own, personal, reserved space in the Lunar Mission One private archive ("Memory Box Vouchers"). Purchasers will be able to put into this archive either digital data, a strand of hair, or a combination of both (depending on the space reserved). Further details are available in the relevant product description. The digital vouchers shall be delivered by e-mail to the address specified in the order.

You may cancel your order for a Memory Box Voucher for any reason in accordance with Section 6.8 below. However, this is your sole right to cancel such an order. Once the fourteen (14) day cancellation period has expired, Memory Box Voucher purchases shall become final and non-refundable.

6.4 - Prices

The prices payable for products are shown on the Website. We may make an additional charge for delivery costs and this will be shown separately in the checkout section of the Website, before you submit your payment information.

All product prices on the Website are inclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes. On the product pages of the Website, the product prices are exclusive of any delivery charges, which are added, inclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes, in the shopping basket and check out section of the Website.

Any applicable discounts or promotional prices will be noted at the time of purchase on the checkout page for your order.

6.5 - Non-acceptance of Orders

We can refuse to accept or fulfil any order in our absolute discretion, including, without limitation, if:

  1. there is a pricing or description error when the order is placed which is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised as a mispricing;
  2. your payment is refused;
  3. we do not have sufficient stock to deliver the product you have ordered;
  4. we do not deliver to the area in which your delivery address is located; and/or
  5. it is not possible or practical for us to deliver to, or we have any other concerns with, the delivery address that you have given us.

6.6 - Payment

We accept payment by PayPal or Stripe. In respect of all orders, payment of the full purchase price for the product(s) ordered must be made when the order is placed and we will not dispatch the product(s) ordered until we have received such payment in full.

All payment transactions may be subject to validation checks and authorisation by the relevant card and service providers and/or by us (and we may use third party service providers to carry out such authorisation), which we will do in accordance with the Privacy Policy. If your card issuer/payment service provider refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-acceptance of orders made by you.

If for any reason any payment is refused after we have dispatched any product we will have the right to request the payment from you or recover the relevant product(s) from you. We may charge you for our costs in recovering the product(s) or seeking further payment.

Full ownership and title in any product ordered from us will not pass to you until we have both received payment of the full purchase price for such product and delivered it to you.

6.7 - Delivery

We endeavour to process and dispatch physical products to ensure that any orders placed are delivered in accordance with the table below. Although our delivery partners may deliver on Saturdays, you should ignore weekends and public/bank holidays when calculating the estimated delivery date.

Delivery Type Estimated Delivery Time
UK Delivery 14 days or less
Rest of World Delivery 2 to 4 weeks


Once you have submitted an order, you may not be able to change the delivery address. If you would like to discuss a change to the delivery address after you have submitted an order, please contact us as soon as possible through your account via our online message centre or using the information available in the 'About Us' section above or on our Website.

The estimated delivery date of a product is based on whether the product is in stock and on the delivery address you have provided to us and is subject to receipt by us from you of payment for the product. Although we endeavour to deliver products on the estimated delivery date, that date is indicative only and we cannot guarantee that the delivery will take place on that date, although delivery of any product will take place within thirty (30) days of the date on which we received payment from you for such product (unless agreed otherwise with you).

You must inform us, by contacting us through your account via our online message centre or using the information available in the 'About Us' section above or on our Website by the date on which we agree an estimated delivery date with you, if there are any special circumstances which might be relevant to your delivery, including, without limitation, factors relating to access: to your delivery address (e.g. low bridges, narrow lanes etc.,); and/or to the premises at your delivery address.

You may be liable to pay us extra delivery charges if:

  1. we are unable to complete a delivery because an appropriate person is not present at the delivery address on the date of delivery to accept the product;
  2. you attempt to change the delivery address after the product has been dispatched to you; and/or
  3. you fail to notify us of special circumstances which are relevant to your delivery.

Once we have delivered any product to you, risk in that product passes to you; and you are responsible for its insurance and security.

6.8 - Changing Your Mind

You may cancel your order for any product for any reason at any time from the date on which you placed the order up to fourteen (14) days from the day after you received such product (or from the date of ordering in the case of Memory Box Vouchers and other services) by notifying us in writing as set out in Section 6.10 below.

If you cancel your order in this way we will, as soon as possible and, in any event, within:

      1. fourteen (14) days of such cancellation (in the case of Memory Box Vouchers or other services); or
      2. fourteen (14) days of receiving the returned physical products or evidence that the products have been sent,

         

    1. refund any sums paid to us by you, and any provider of credit facilities, in respect of the purchase price and any charges for delivering the product to you;
    2. you must return the product to us at your cost, and we request that you follow our returns policy, as set out in Section 6.10 below. If you fail to return the product to us and we have to arrange for it to be collected, you will be charged for the cost of collection; and
    3. you are under a duty to take reasonable care of the product until it is returned to us.

If you want to cancel before your product has been delivered please contact us through your account via our online message centre, or using the information in the 'About Us' section above or on our Website, although, if your order has already been processed for delivery we may not be able to prevent the product being delivered to you.

If you want to exercise your right to cancel after you have received the product from us, we request that you do not use the product and that any packaging which is still on the product is not removed or, to the extent that such packaging has been removed but is still in your possession, that you return the product with such packaging.

6.9 - Faulty or Incorrect Items

We request that you inspect any product delivered to you within a reasonable period of receiving it. If a product you have received from us was damaged when delivered please notify us and return the product to us (at our cost) by post in accordance with Section 6.10.

All products returned to us are checked by our Returns Department and, if you are entitled to a refund, then we will refund the price of your item and original delivery costs.

If we discover that a product you have returned to us on the basis that it was damaged or faulty is not in fact damaged or faulty, we may return it to you and cancel any refund that you have requested, or if we have already refunded you, we may recharge you for the product and the original delivery costs, using the payment information provided to us when you placed your order; and charge you for the costs of returning the product to us and of redelivering the product to you.

If a product you have received from us is not the product which you ordered, please notify us and return the product to us by post within fourteen (14) days of receipt, and

  1. we will deliver the product which you ordered, if possible; or
  2. if it is not possible to deliver the product which you ordered, we will refund the purchase price and any delivery costs.

In relation to all returns, we request that you follow our returns policy, as set out in Section 6.10 below.

6.10 - Returns Policy

If you want to return a product, please contact us through your account via our online message centre and we will, where you are entitled to return the product, give you a returns number which we request that you use when you return the product to, and in all correspondence with, us (otherwise our response may take longer). We will also send you a freepost address sticker if the product is reported as defective.

Please ensure that all products packaged for return are clearly labelled with your name, postal address and order number and that, if you post a product to us, you obtain a proof of posting receipt. You must ensure that products you wish to return are adequately packaged to protect them from being soiled or damaged whilst being returned to us. Please ensure that you keep the original packaging in which the products are delivered in case you wish to make a return. Any product you accept and then return is your responsibility until it reaches our warehouse. Please therefore ensure that you send your product back to us using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the goods.

Where you have purchased a number of products as part of a special multi-buy discount offer and you subsequently wish to return one of the special offer products, if one or more of the special offer products has already been dispatched, we will ask you to return to us all products forming part of this special offer in order to receive a refund.

Please note that we can only consider refunding the postage costs for returning a product where we sent you the wrong product, the product is damaged or faulty, or where you are returning a substitute product which you do not want to keep. In all other circumstances you will be responsible for the cost of returning the product.

6.11 - Refunds

We will make any refunds due to you in accordance with these Terms & Conditions using the same method of payment as you used when placing your order. Please note that we cannot influence any part of a refund after we have submitted the request to a bank and that banks can take a period of time to process such a refund.

 

7 - Risks and challenges

7.1 - Project Risks

Lunar Mission One is an exciting and ambitious project. Owing to the nature of its size, scale and complexity (not to mention all of the unknowns of space and lunar exploration which we hope to learn about on the way) Lunar Mission One is a large and complicated project.

By purchasing any Lunar Mission One product, you agree to accept the risks as we’ve defined them below, and any other risks, even if they are not explicitly stated here.

7.2 - Engineering and Team

Lunar Mission One is a unique project with many contingent parts including design, engineering, mission control, science and education. Currently, the sales of Lunar Mission One products is to raise the funds to deliver the set up stage. We already have a team of experts who have shown a desire to become involved in this project and are expected to come on-board. That said, building, launching and landing a spacecraft is difficult and there are lots of uncertainties involved, including the procurement processes necessary for the set up phase, all of which needs to be done before the technology is developed and none of which at this stage is guaranteed. We are constantly iterating our mission concepts and any CGI videos we publish are only a projection of what we anticipate. As a result, the end spacecraft may differ from current predictions. We’re always ready to make modifications to improve astronomy, education and the ability to drill and leave the archives on the moon.

7.3 - Launch & Operations

To get Lunar Mission One into space will require a rocket launch. However, as is true for any launch and subsequent space operations, it opens up a few challenges:

Rockets and lunar landings can fail, resulting in loss or degradation of service. We will endeavour to provide fall-back solutions including an insurance-backed repeat launch and even a guarantee of a repeat lunar mission if the public’s funding from memory boxes is sufficient.

The launch and operation, including communication of a spacecraft and lunar lander is technically complex and involves many risks beyond our control. We are not responsible for any failure to perform all or part of the Lunar Mission One project if such failure is caused by third parties and what the lawyers like to call “force majeure” - events or conditions beyond our reasonable control such as explosion, acts of nature, war, civil disturbances, acts of civil or military authorities, legal or regulatory changes, asteroid impacts, alien interference, cosmic events, intergalactic battle or other causes beyond our control.

7.4 - Private Archive

Managing and uploading thousands of messages, videos, music and DNA and selfies is no easy task. We will be building a web-based platform to handle all of the content uploading and loading onto the archive. The commercial terms of the private archive will be set following extensive research and development, as well as a market analysis, which we expect to complete at later stages of the overall project. All those who purchase a digital memory box voucher to entitle them a space in the private archive will be kept up to date with this platform as it develops but of course, customers will be responsible for the integrity of their own content prior to uploading. We expect to provide privacy options for making content available on the Internet, if the contributors so wish, in which case we reserve the right to prevent any private archive contributor, including any backer to this project, from uploading any explicit, offensive, degrading or copyright infringing content into the private archive.

 

8 - Liability

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limit our liability for:

  1. death or personal injury caused by negligence;
  2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
