Terms of Service

Last updated: June 7, 2026

These terms govern your use of Orbit. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. We've kept them concise — please read them.

1. About Orbit

Orbit is an app that helps people maintain long-distance friendships through mutual prompts and shared moments. Both you and a friend receive the same prompt at the same time; you each respond, then see each other's response.

2. Who can use Orbit

You must be at least 13 years old to use Orbit. By creating an account, you confirm that:

You're 13 or older
The information you provide is accurate
You'll keep your account secure (don't share your password)
You're not banned from using Orbit under previous violations

If you're under 18, you should review these terms with a parent or guardian.

3. Your account

You're responsible for everything that happens on your account. Keep your password secure and notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access at security@heyorbit.me.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms — see Section 8.

4. What you can post

You can share text, photos, audio, drawings, music links, and other content with your friends in Orbit. You're responsible for everything you post.

4.1 You agree NOT to post:

Illegal content of any kind
Content that sexualizes minors
Violent or graphic content
Harassment, hate speech, or threats
Spam or unsolicited promotion
Content that infringes someone else's intellectual property
Malware, phishing links, or anything designed to harm
Anyone else's personal information without permission
Content that impersonates another person

4.2 Reporting violations

If you see content that violates these terms, report it via the in-app report flow (when available) or email safety@heyorbit.me.

5. Your content, your ownership

You own everything you post on Orbit. By posting, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, and display your content — only as needed to operate the service (i.e., showing your responses to the friend in the prompt).

We will never use your content for advertising, sell it to third parties, or use it in marketing without explicit permission. When you delete content, we delete our copy too.

6. Our intellectual property

Orbit, including the app, website, logo, and prompts we curate, is owned by us. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the service.

7. Paid features (when available)

Orbit's core prompt-and-reveal mechanic will always be free. We may offer paid tiers ("Orbit Plus," "Orbit AI") with additional features. If you subscribe:

Subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel
You can cancel anytime via your App Store or Google Play account settings
Refunds are handled by Apple/Google per their policies — we don't issue direct refunds
If we change pricing, we'll notify you before the change applies to you

8. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you:

Violate these terms or our Privacy Policy
Use Orbit to harm others
Engage in illegal activity through the service
Repeatedly post content that violates Section 4

We'll try to give you notice when reasonable. You can delete your account at any time from within the app.

9. Service availability

We aim to keep Orbit available 24/7 but can't guarantee uninterrupted service. We may update, modify, or discontinue features at any time. If we shut down the service entirely, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice and a way to export your data.

10. Disclaimers

Orbit is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee:

That the service will be error-free or uninterrupted
That any specific content or feature will always be available
The accuracy of user-generated content
The behavior of friends you connect with on the platform

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Orbit is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of (a) $50 or (b) the amount you paid us in the past 12 months.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify us against any claims arising from your violation of these terms, your content, or your use of the service in ways that harm others.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by your local laws.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms over time. For significant changes, we'll notify you in-app and by email before they take effect. Your continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
