Exactly what this is — and isn't.

The 1967 Outer Space Treaty (Art. II), ratified by the United States and most spacefaring nations, prohibits national appropriation of celestial bodies. There is currently no sovereign government, court, or land registry with jurisdiction to grant or enforce private title to land on the Moon, Mars, or any other celestial body. Spaceclaims does not, and cannot, convey legal ownership, title, or any presently-enforceable property right.
A claim-documentation and registry service: the preparation, notarization support, public publication, opposition-period adjudication, and continuous-possession recordkeeping of a good-faith homestead claim to a defined parcel, together with a collectible certificate. It is a record of your claim and intent — not a title.
Spaceclaims is modeled on historical frameworks (homesteading, mining claims, possessory and usucapião doctrines) in which documented good-faith possession was sometimes later recognized by a governing authority that emerged afterward. We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any government, court, treaty body, or other authority will ever recognize your claim, in whole or in part. Future legal regimes are unknown and may reject all private claims.
Your payment is not an investment of money in a common enterprise and is not made with any expectation of profit from our efforts. Spaceclaims makes no representation regarding resale value, appreciation, return on investment, yield, or any financial gain. Do not purchase a Spaceclaims claim as a financial investment or as a source of profit. Any value the claim may hold is personal, collectible, or speculative, and may be zero.
The Spaceclaims claim is not offered or sold as a security, investment contract, or financial instrument, and is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities regulator, the Brazilian CVM, or any other authority. It is structured to fall outside the definition of a security.
Any right to assign, gift, or bequeath a claim is the transfer of a personal claim record, not a guaranteed liquidity event or financial return. Spaceclaims does not operate a securities exchange and does not guarantee any resale price.
Your claim file includes a good-faith pledge to develop and "work" your parcel within the stated horizon if and when commercial transit to the body becomes available. This pledge is evidence of your intent to possess as owner. Spaceclaims does not promise that such transit will ever exist, does not enforce the pledge as a debt, and does not collect future development costs from you.
Counter-claims and disputes are resolved within the Spaceclaims registry on a published, objective rule of priority by date of properly-filed claim. The Claim Defense Desk prepares a formal opposition response and a Declaration of Priority that the claimant signs and notarizes; it is not legal advice or legal representation, and Spaceclaims is not a law firm and does not practice law. Nothing is filed in any court.
No Spaceclaims claim asserts national sovereignty over any celestial body. All claims are private, good-faith homestead claims made in acknowledged compliance with the Outer Space Treaty.
Nothing provided by Spaceclaims is legal, tax, or financial advice. Consult your own qualified advisors.
By purchasing, you confirm that you have read and understood this disclaimer, that you are not purchasing as a financial investment, and that you understand no legal title is conveyed and future recognition is not guaranteed.
Spaceclaims — the homestead claim registry for the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This page is a plain-English disclaimer and will be supplemented by full terms of service before public launch.
No conveyance of legal title. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty (Art. II) bars national appropriation of celestial bodies, and no sovereign, court, or land registry currently has jurisdiction to grant or enforce private title to land on the Moon, Mars, or any celestial body. Spaceclaims does not and cannot convey legal ownership or any presently-enforceable property right.
What you purchase. A claim-documentation and registry service — the preparation, notarization support, public publication, opposition-period adjudication, and continuous-possession recordkeeping of a good-faith homestead claim — together with a collectible certificate. It is a record of your claim and intent, not a title.
Not an investment; not a security. Your payment is not an investment of money in a common enterprise and carries no expectation of profit from our efforts. We make no representation as to resale value, appreciation, or return. The claim is not offered as a security and is not registered with the SEC, any state regulator, the Brazilian CVM, or any other authority.
No guarantee of recognition; no sovereignty; not legal advice. We model the process on frameworks in which documented good-faith possession was sometimes later recognized, but we do not guarantee any authority will ever recognize your claim. No Spaceclaims claim asserts national sovereignty. Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice.
