FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I deliver my telescope in person?

Yes, in-person handover on La Palma is possible — please coordinate timing in advance. Alternatively, shipping to our address is possible; we'll share it after contract signing.

What happens if my telescope develops a fault?

We notify you immediately. Repairs and return shipping are your responsibility. The hosting contract is suspended during documented downtime — we don't charge for periods when your device is non-functional (proof required).

Which telescope models are accepted?

We currently accept ZWO SeeStar S30 and S50, and other compact all-in-one smart telescopes (Unistellar, Vaonis, comparable). Conventional mounts with external laptops, Dobsonians, or larger instruments are not possible without prior discussion.

Is the device insured?

No. Hosting does not include insurance for your telescope. We recommend a portable-equipment or valuables policy that covers devices abroad. We are liable for negligence by third parties up to the replacement value; damage from force majeure (storm, earthquake, wildfire) is excluded.

Can I cancel early?

Termination is possible with three months' notice to the end of the 12-month minimum term. Without timely termination, the contract extends monthly, up to a further 6 months — cancellable during that extension too, with three months' notice to month-end. Within the minimum term, only in the event of a total loss of your device or closure of the site. Prepayments already made are refunded pro-rata for unused months.
