Orbit is an independent, open-source web browser. These terms outline your rights, the open-source software license, and the shared boundaries of using Orbit.
By downloading, installing, compiling, accessing, or using the Orbit web browser application (available on Android, macOS, and other supported platforms) or using this website (orbitbrowser.com), you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.
If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use Orbit. Because Orbit is open source, you also maintain the rights granted to you under the applicable open-source software license.
Orbit is developed in the open. The source code is publicly accessible on GitHub under standard open-source licensing.
You have the legal right to inspect every line of source code, verify cryptographic build hashes, compile your own builds, report vulnerabilities, and fork the repository according to the project license.
When redistributing modified or unmodified versions of the code, you must retain original copyright notices, license texts, and disclaimer of warranties as required by the license.
Orbit is designed as a neutral gateway to the World Wide Web. We expect users to respect applicable laws and community safety.
You may use Orbit for personal, educational, research, and commercial web browsing, provided such use complies with applicable international, federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
You agree not to use Orbit or its associated website infrastructure to distribute malicious software (viruses, trojans, ransomware), conduct denial-of-service attacks, disrupt GitHub repository resources, or violate the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party.
You agree not to exploit security vulnerabilities in the Orbit website or binaries. Vulnerability disclosures should be submitted responsibly through the project’s GitHub Security Advisory channel.
Orbit functions as a user agent that renders external web pages. It is critical to recognize the boundary between the browser and third-party websites.
When you visit a website using Orbit, that website is operated independently. Orbit has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, cookies, transactions, or security practices of external sites.
Orbit lets you pick your default search engine (DuckDuckGo, Brave, Google, Startpage, or custom). Your search queries and IP address are received directly by the provider you select, subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.
Standard open-source warranty terms apply to ensure sustainable independent development.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ORBIT AND ITS WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ORBIT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE CREATORS, DEVELOPERS, OR CONTRIBUTORS OF ORBIT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. When updates are published, the “Effective Date” at the top of this document will be revised. Continued use of Orbit following the posting of updated terms constitutes your acceptance of the revisions.
