Terms of Use
Planckstar, operated by Aster Solutions LLC Last updated: 19 August 2026
1. Who we are
Planckstar is a spatial workspace for plans and note-taking. You place milestones in three dimensions and keep notes, checklists, links, images, vectors, documents and 3D models inside them. A collection of milestones is called a cluster.
Planckstar is operated by Aster Solutions LLC ("we", "us"), a limited liability company registered in New Mexico, United States.

2. Accepting these terms
By creating an account or using Planckstar you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you may only use Planckstar with the involvement of a parent or guardian. If you are in the EU or UK, the minimum age is 16 unless your country sets it lower.
3. Your account
You are responsible for your account credentials and for everything done through your account. Tell us promptly at support@planckstar.com if you believe someone else has access or that your credentials have been compromised.
Accounts are personal. Do not share credentials or let others use your account.
4. Subscription, trial and billing
Planckstar costs $3.99 USD per month.
- New accounts start a 7-day free trial.
- A payment card is required to begin the trial. You are not charged during the trial.
- Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the first charge occurs on day 8 and monthly thereafter.
- Cancel at any time from the billing portal in your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for.
Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.
Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law, but if you were charged unexpectedly, write to support@planckstar.com within 14 days and we will consider a refund in good faith.
If you are a consumer in the EU or UK you may have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days; nothing here removes that right.
Price changes. We may change the price with at least 30 days' notice by email. The new price applies from your next renewal. If you don't want to continue, cancel before then.
Failed payments. If a charge fails we may retry and may suspend access until payment succeeds. Content is not deleted during a short suspension — see section 10.
5. Your content
You own what you make. Clusters, milestones, notes, checklists and files you upload remain yours. We claim no ownership.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit and display your content solely in order to operate and provide the service. When you publish a cluster, that licence extends to displaying it publicly and to producing thumbnails, previews and cached copies. The licence ends when you delete the content, except for backup copies which expire on our normal backup cycle.
This licence exists so we can run the product. It does not permit us to sell your content, use it for advertising, or train machine-learning models on it.
You are responsible for your content, including having the rights to any files, images or models you upload.
6. Publishing clusters
Clusters are private by default.
When you publish one:
- We create a snapshot. Later edits to your working cluster do not change the published version until you publish again.
- The snapshot gets a public address at
/c/<slug>. Anyone with the link can view it; no account is required. - It appears on the public discovery globe, pinned to a city. When you publish, we suggest a city from the coarse location headers your connection already carries. We do not store your IP address alongside your cluster — only the city name and approximate coordinates. You can change the city; once a cluster is public the pin may be changed once per day.
- Other users can star it.
- Files inside a published cluster are copied to a public address at
assets.planckstar.comand served from there. Those addresses are stable and do not expire, so anyone who has one can open the file directly until the cluster is unpublished or deleted. - We list published clusters in our sitemap, so search engines are actively told they exist. They may index it, and third parties may cache or archive it.
Publishing is effectively irreversible in practice. You can unpublish, and we will delete the cluster, its snapshot and its published files from both of our storage providers and remove it from the globe — but we cannot retrieve copies others have already made, cached or archived, and a file address that circulated while the cluster was public may have been saved by anyone who saw it. Do not publish anything you would be harmed by having permanently public.
7. Acceptable use
Your use of Planckstar is governed by the Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
In short: don't publish content that is illegal, sexual involving minors, harassing, hateful, threatening, deceptive, infringing, or malicious; don't attack or abuse the infrastructure.
8. Reports and enforcement
Signed-in users can report a published cluster. We review reports and may, at our discretion:
- Remove or unpublish a cluster;
- Restrict or suspend an account;
- Terminate an account and refuse further service.
For serious or repeated violations we may act immediately and without notice. Otherwise we will make a reasonable effort to tell you what happened and why, and you may respond at support@planckstar.com.
We are not obliged to monitor content, and we do not promise to review every report within any particular time.
Reporting in bad faith — mass-reporting, retaliation, or knowingly false reports — is itself a violation and can lead to account limitations.
9. Copyright complaints
If you believe content on Planckstar infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent with:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the work you say is infringed;
- The address (
/c/<slug>) of the material you want removed; - Your contact details;
- A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on their behalf.
Designated agent for copyright notices
Copyright Agent, Aster Solutions LLC 8206 Louisiana Blvd NE, Ste A #6371, Albuquerque, NM 87113, United States copyright@planckstar.com +1 972 638 0856
Registered with the United States Copyright Office, registration number DMCA-1078832.
We will remove or disable material in appropriate cases and will terminate repeat infringers.
Counter-notice. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice with the same contact details, identification of the material, and a statement under penalty of perjury that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district.
10. Deletion, suspension and data retention
You may delete individual milestones, clusters, or your whole account at any time.
We may suspend or terminate your account for violation of these Terms, for non-payment, or if required by law.
When an account is deleted or terminated:
- Your clusters, uploaded files and published snapshots are deleted from active systems within 30 days.
- Backups are overwritten on our normal cycle.
- Reports filed about your content are retained, along with the associated account identifiers, so that a record of enforcement survives. Deleting an account does not erase reports made about it.
If your subscription lapses or you cancel, your content remains for 90 days, after which we may delete it. We will email the address on your account before we do. Export what you need before then — you can export any cluster as a zip at any time, including after your subscription has lapsed.
11. Service availability
Planckstar is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will never be lost.
We may change, suspend or discontinue features at any time. If we discontinue the service entirely, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email so you can export your work.
Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose. A cloud service is not a backup.
12. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We are not responsible for content published by other users, or for anything you rely on from a published cluster.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill.
- Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $50 USD.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they apply only as far as the law permits. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
14. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify Aster Solutions LLC against claims, damages and reasonable legal costs arising from your content, your use of the service, or your violation of these Terms.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' notice by email or in-app before they take effect. Continuing to use Planckstar after that means you accept the new Terms. If you don't, cancel before they take effect.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws in your country of residence.
17. General
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms; we may transfer them to a successor in a merger or sale of the business.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy, are the entire agreement between us.
