Terms of use.

The rules for using Orbit, in plain English.

What Orbit is

Orbit is a media player for Fire TV, Android TV and Google TV, made by its founder, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom who trades as Orbit ("we" or "us"). Orbit is being set up as a company; when it is, we'll name the company, its registered address and its VAT number here. You can reach us at support@orbit-iptv.com. It plays M3U playlists and Xtream Codes services that you add yourself. These terms are the agreement between you and us when you use Orbit or create an Orbit account.

Your account

  • You need to be 18 or over to create an Orbit account. Orbit is for your own personal, non-commercial use; others in your household can watch on your TVs.
  • Keep your password and sign-in codes to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account, and you can unlink a TV at any time from your account page.
  • Please give us an email address that works, so we can reach you about your account and payments.

Your content

Orbit doesn't provide, host, sell or link to any channels, films or series. Everything you watch comes from services you choose. You're responsible for making sure you have the right to watch what you play, and for following the terms of those services and the law where you live.

Subscriptions and the free trial

  • Orbit costs £1.19 a month, £2.99 every 3 months or £7.99 a year, including VAT where it applies. Every plan includes every feature. Payments are handled by Stripe.
  • When you sign up you can try Orbit free for 12 hours, starting when you link your first TV. There's one free trial per account and per TV.
  • Plans renew automatically at the end of each period, at the price you agreed, until you cancel. You can cancel any time from your account page, and Orbit stays on until the end of the period you've paid for.
  • If we change the price of your plan, we'll email you at least 30 days before your first renewal at the new price. If you don't want to carry on, cancel before then and you won't be charged the new price.

Cancelling and refunds

  • Changed your mind? Full refund within 14 days. If you ask within 14 days of the first payment on your Orbit account, we'll refund that payment in full, even though you've been able to use Orbit in the meantime. Your plan then ends straight away.
  • After 14 days, you can cancel at any time from your account page (Manage subscription). Cancelling stops future payments, and Orbit stays on until the end of the period you've already paid for. We don't refund part-used periods.
  • The 14-day refund applies to the first payment on an account, not to later renewals or to a new plan started after an earlier one ended.
  • If something's wrong, for example you were charged twice, charged after cancelling, or Orbit doesn't work as described, tell us and we'll put it right, including a refund where that's fair. This is on top of the 14-day refund.
  • To ask for a refund, contact us through the Support page using the email address on your Orbit account. Refunds go back to the card or payment method you paid with, usually within 5 to 10 working days, depending on your bank.
  • Nothing here takes away rights you have under consumer law where you live.

Referring friends

  • Every Orbit account has its own referral link, on your account page and in Settings › Account on your TV.
  • Your friend gets 2 weeks free. When someone creates a new Orbit account through your link and subscribes, their first plan starts with a 2-week free trial. They add a card when they subscribe and are first charged 14 days later; if they cancel before then, they pay nothing. This is for new accounts that have never had a paid Orbit plan.
  • You get 2 weeks free. Once your friend’s first payment has gone through and 14 days have passed without it being refunded, you earn 2 weeks free. If you pay for Orbit, your next payment moves 2 weeks later. If you don’t (for example you’re on the free trial or have free access), you get 2 weeks of free access, added after any free time you already have. We’ll email you when it happens.
  • You can earn rewards for up to 5 friends in total.
  • A referral doesn’t count if you refer yourself, if your friend pays with your card, or if their first payment is refunded or never made. Free weeks have no cash value and can’t be swapped or passed on.
  • We may cancel rewards gained by misusing the scheme, for example with fake accounts. We may change or end the scheme, but you keep any rewards you’ve already earned.

Special offers

From time to time we run offers through a link, such as a free first month for readers of a website. An offer link gives a new subscriber’s first plan a free trial of the length shown with the offer. You add a card when you subscribe and are first charged when the trial ends; if you cancel before then, you pay nothing. Offers are for accounts that have never had a paid Orbit plan, one per account, and only until the end date shown. They can’t be combined with a friend’s referral trial (you get whichever is longer) and have no cash value.

Using Orbit

Please don't use Orbit to break the law, to share access to services you don't have the right to share, to misuse free trials, offers or referrals (for example with fake accounts), to interfere with our servers, or to copy, resell or reverse engineer the app beyond what the law allows. Open-source parts of Orbit are covered by their own licences, listed on the open-source licences page, and nothing in these terms limits what those licences let you do; for example, you may modify and rebuild the FFmpeg part, and reverse engineer Orbit to debug such changes, as its licence (the LGPL) allows.

Orbit, its name and logo belong to us. Fire TV is a trademark of Amazon, and Android TV and Google TV are trademarks of Google; other product names are trademarks of their owners and are mentioned only to describe what works with Orbit. Orbit isn't made, endorsed or sponsored by any of them.

Updates, availability and liability

  • We work to keep Orbit reliable and update it regularly, but we can't guarantee it will play every stream or work with every service, since those are outside our control. We aren't responsible for the services you add: their content, availability or whether you're allowed to use them.
  • Some updates are needed to keep Orbit working or secure. If your TV is on a version that's too old, Orbit may ask you to update before you can carry on watching. Updating is free.
  • If we break these terms, we're responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of that. We're not responsible for loss or damage that isn't foreseeable, or for business losses, since Orbit is for personal use.
  • If faulty Orbit software damages your device or other digital content because we didn't use reasonable care and skill, we'll either repair the damage or pay you compensation.
  • We don't exclude or limit our responsibility where it would be unlawful to do so, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for your legal rights as a consumer, such as Orbit being as described and of satisfactory quality.

Ending your account

  • You can delete your account at any time on your account page. This cancels any subscription straight away; the 14-day refund above still applies to a first payment.
  • We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, for example through fraud or misuse of free trials. We'll tell you why, unless the law stops us. If we close your account and it wasn't because you broke these terms, we'll refund any time you've paid for and not used.
  • If we ever stop offering Orbit, we'll tell you at least 30 days before and refund any time you've paid for and not used.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when Orbit or the law changes. If a change affects you in a way that matters, we'll email you at least 30 days before it applies. If you don't agree, you can cancel before then, and we'll refund any time you've paid for and not used. Older versions are available on request.

The law

If something goes wrong, please contact us first at support@orbit-iptv.com and we'll try to put it right. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and you can bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring a claim in your local courts. If you live elsewhere in the UK or EU, you keep the protections of your local consumer law and can bring a claim where you live.
