1. Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Miller Lillie ("Orbit," "we," "us") governing your use of the Orbit iPhone app and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use Orbit. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.
3. What Orbit does
Orbit helps you set daily limits and schedules for selected apps on your iPhone using Apple's Screen Time technologies (Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity), and to share accountability with a small group you choose (an "Orbit"). Orbit operates in individual mode — you manage limits on your own device. It is not a parental-control, employee-monitoring, or device-management product.
4. Your account
You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for activity under it. Sign in is provided through Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In. Notify us at support@joinorbit.so if you believe your account has been compromised.
5. Accountability groups and your conduct
Orbit is a social accountability product. When you join an Orbit, certain information about your goals and activity is shared with that Orbit's members, as described in the Privacy Policy. You agree to use Orbits respectfully. You will not use the Service to:
- harass, bully, threaten, or abuse other members;
- post unlawful, hateful, harassing, or sexually explicit content, or content that infringes others' rights;
- impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation;
- attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you're not authorized to access, or to disrupt or reverse-engineer the Service except as permitted by law.
We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
6. Your content
You retain ownership of the content you create (messages, photos, goal names, contract text). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely to operate and provide the Service — for example, delivering your messages to the members of your Orbit. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content already shared with other members and for residual backup copies kept for a limited time. You're responsible for the content you post and confirm you have the rights to share it.
7. Important limitations — please read
- Orbit is a behavioral aid, not a guarantee. Enforcement of limits depends on Apple's Screen Time system and on iOS functioning as designed. Limits can be bypassed (for example, by overriding within the app, by turning off Orbit's Screen Time access in iOS Settings, or through OS-level behavior outside our control). We do not warrant that limits will be perfectly or continuously enforced.
- Orbit is not health, medical, or professional advice and is not a treatment for any condition, including problematic technology use. If you need help, consult a qualified professional.
- Accuracy. Usage figures and statuses are derived from Apple's frameworks and may be approximate or delayed.
8. Third-party services
The Service relies on Apple and Google Firebase. Your use of those underlying platforms is also subject to their respective terms. We're not responsible for third-party services we don't control.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service or its users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content license for already-shared content, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law) will survive.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT LIMITS WILL BE ENFORCED WITHOUT FAILURE.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Miller Lillie WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12. Changes to the Service or Terms
We may modify the Service or these Terms. For material changes to the Terms, we'll update the "Last updated" date and provide reasonable notice. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
13. Apple App Store — additional terms
These additional terms apply because you obtained Orbit through the Apple App Store:
- Scope of license. The license granted to you for Orbit is a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
- These Terms are between you and Miller Lillie only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, or consumer-protection claims.
- Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any third-party intellectual-property infringement claim relating to the app.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for disputes is the state and federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, except where prohibited by applicable law.
