Summary of service

Big Bang Registry is a service where we provide online tools ressembling maps which represent the temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background and additional related educational material. Visitors of the website (you) may choose to donate money to BBR which we will use at our sole discretion. Note that BBR is not a charitable organisation. Depending on the size of the donation, we may send gifts ("packages") to the person making the donation. These packages should not be considered as purchased, and are rather an expression of thanks in return for your support. The contents of these packages are outlined on the 'www.bigbangregistry.com/packages2.php' webpage. We reserve the right to modify the content of these packages at any time, including after a donation has been made. But we're not mean people, so we won't screw you over and any changes we make will probably be improvements. No returns will be processed and we do not provide warranty of any kind. Big Bang Registry will not be held liable in any way for any damages that may occur in relation with the services provided on the Big Bang Registry website.
