Terms of Service

Last updated 12 November 2026

Who we are

Light Years (lightyrs.pages.dev) is run by Hakimuddin Vohra, an individual in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. You can reach us at vhakimuddin@gmail.com. By using the site or buying from it, you agree to these terms.

What the site does

You enter a name and a date of birth. The site finds a real star whose distance in light-years is close to your age, and draws a card about it. All of this happens in your browser.

The free version gives you an on-screen card in two styles, a 1080 by 1350 pixel image with a small “lightyears” mark, and a share link.

What you buy for $9

One payment of US $9 (shown at checkout in your currency, with any tax added) buys a licence key that unlocks print files in your browser:

• A4 and A3 images at 300 dpi and a 4 by 5 image, as PNG files
• A4 and A3 PDF files
• no mark, all four styles, and a short line of your own on the card

It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Nothing physical is shipped: you download the files and print them wherever you like.

The key arrives by email straight after payment. You paste it into the site to unlock. One key can be activated on up to 10 browsers or devices. With it, you can make cards for as many names and dates as you like.

Payment

Checkout is run by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record. Dodo Payments sells the product to you, charges your card, handles sales tax or VAT and sends your receipt. Their buyer terms apply to the payment as well as ours.

How you can use the files

You can print, frame, gift and share your cards for personal use. Please don’t resell the files, or sell prints made from them, without our written permission.

The star data comes from the HYG Database by David Nash, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. The licence on the data is not changed by these terms.

Accuracy

The stars are real and the maths is exact, but catalogue distances are estimates that are often a few percent out. The card says how many months before or after your birth the light left the star. The card is a keepsake, not a scientific measurement. No star is named after you or sold to you.

Refunds

See our refund policy.

Our responsibility

We provide the site as it is and work to keep it running, but we can’t promise it will always be available or free of errors. As far as the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us. This does not affect any rights you have under consumer law where you live.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Changes do not affect a purchase you have already made.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Vadodara, Gujarat have jurisdiction, unless the consumer law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim there.
