We use this statement in two contexts: The first as defined in the American Heritage Dictionary. The quality of being novel: 1) something new and unusual and 2) a small mass-produced article. Well, dedicating a Star definitely falls into these categories.The second context is on the recommendation from our legal team from when this all began. Classifying the naming/dedicating Star as a novelty gift helps to avoid any frivolous lawsuits. You should know that this does not diminish the value of naming a Star that you purchase in any way. Every Star is recorded and registered in the Buy A Shining Star registration database and every owner’s information is listed with that registration.
If it’s expensive, not everyone will be able to dedicate a star, which would take all the fun and romance out of it. After all, this is an exciting adventure and we wish to share this with as many people who would like to share it with us.
The Star gift packages come with the name printed on the Star Certificate. The name you specify in the checkout process will be imprinted on the Star Certificate. Each Star Certificate is unique and no Star with the same coordinates will be sold twice. Providing the necessary information insures that the Star holder is listed on file in the Buy A Shining Star database.
No Star is sold twice. The Stars have been carefully mapped out and a database is held of all Star registrations.
