Scope and acceptance
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the use of the AstroStackerPro application and of the website astrostackerpro.com, provided by Stefano Monticciolo, an independent developer based in Italy (the “Provider”).
By downloading, installing or using the app, or by browsing the website, you accept these Terms in full. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app or the website.
The processing of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.
Description of the service
AstroStackerPro is a mobile application for astrophotography that lets you capture and process astronomical images directly on your own device.
The app runs entirely on-device: it requires no account, it does not need a connection to the Provider’s servers for its processing features, and it does not transmit your images outside your device.
License of use
The Provider grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the app on devices you own or control, within the limits allowed by the terms of the distribution store.
Except where expressly permitted by applicable law, you may not: decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer the app; resell, sublicense or distribute the app; remove or alter copyright notices or trademarks.
Permitted use
You agree to use the app and the website in compliance with the law and with these Terms. In particular, it is prohibited to:
- use the service for unlawful purposes or in ways that harm the rights of third parties;
- attempt to compromise the security, integrity or availability of the website or the app;
- access or attempt to access components or data not intended for you;
- use automated systems to overload the website’s infrastructure.
User content
Photographs, processed results and any other content you create with the app remain your exclusive property. The Provider acquires no rights over such content and, never receiving it, holds no copy of it.
You are solely responsible for the content you produce and for how you use it, including compliance with third-party rights and with the rules applicable in the places where you shoot.
Intellectual property
The app, the website, the “AstroStackerPro” name, the logo, the texts, the graphics and the software belong to the Provider or to its respective licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property right to you.
Free of charge and beta phase
As of the last update date, AstroStackerPro is offered free of charge and includes no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
The app may be distributed as a beta or preview release: during this phase it may contain errors, incomplete features or behavior that changes between versions. The Provider may modify, suspend or discontinue the service, in whole or in part, even without notice. Any future paid offering will be announced in advance and will not apply retroactively.
Disclaimer of warranties
The app and the website are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Provider does not warrant that the service will be free of errors or interruptions, nor that processing results will meet any specific expectation of yours.
The mandatory legal guarantees granted to consumers under Italian and European law remain unaffected.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the Provider is not liable for indirect damages, loss of data or images, loss of profit or business interruption arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the app or the website.
You are advised to back up your images regularly: since the data resides on your device, its preservation is under your exclusive control.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor the mandatory rights granted to consumers.
Changes to the terms
The Provider may update these Terms, for example to reflect changes to the service or new legal obligations. The updated version is published on this page together with its last-update date.
Continued use of the app or the website after publication constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Italian law. For users acting as consumers, the courts of their place of residence or elected domicile remain competent, if located within Italy, and any more favorable rules of their own legal system apply.

These Terms are drafted in Italian, which is the authoritative language. Translations into other languages are provided for convenience only; in case of discrepancy the Italian version prevails.
