Terms of Use

Last updated: November 1, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to the UpOrbit website and web app at uporbit.app and the UpOrbit Chrome extension (together, "UpOrbit" or the "Service"). By using UpOrbit you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2. Who can use UpOrbit

You must be at least 13 years old to use UpOrbit. If you're under 18, use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. You must be 18 or older to create an account or use cloud sync, because synced data can include health information.

3. What UpOrbit is — and isn't

UpOrbit is a free productivity tool (focus timers, tasks, routines, brain dump notes and wellness check-ins) plus educational articles about ADHD. It is not a medical device, a diagnostic or screening tool, or a healthcare service, and nothing on UpOrbit is medical, psychological or psychiatric advice. Articles, product recommendations and in-app check-ins are for general information and personal organization only. Don't start, stop or change any medication, supplement or treatment based on UpOrbit; talk to a licensed healthcare provider. Check-ins are not monitored by anyone.

If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US) or your local emergency number.

4. Accounts and cloud sync

• Accounts are optional. Without one, your data stays in your browser or extension, and you are responsible for backing it up (Settings → Export). If you clear your browser data or lose your device, we can't recover it.
• If you create an account, give a valid email address, keep your password secure, and tell us through the contact form if you think your account has been compromised. You're responsible for activity under your account.
• Cloud sync is turned on only after you consent. It stores a copy of your app data, including wellness and medication check-ins, with our hosting provider as described in our privacy policies. Sync is offered as a convenience: it may be delayed or unavailable, and when two devices disagree the more recent copy may replace the older one. Keep your own exports of anything important.
• You can delete your cloud data and account at any time in Settings → Delete my cloud data, or through the contact form.
• We may limit how much data an account can store, and we may change or end the sync feature. If we end it, we'll give reasonable notice where we can so you can export your data.

5. Your content

You own what you enter into UpOrbit. You give us only the permission needed to store, sync and display it to you when you use cloud sync. You're responsible for your content and for keeping copies of anything important.

6. Acceptable use

Don't misuse the Service. In particular, don't:

• break the law or infringe others' rights while using UpOrbit;
• try to access other people's accounts or data, or probe, scan or test the Service's security without permission;
• overload, disrupt or reverse-engineer the Service or its cloud functions, or use automated means to create accounts or send requests;
• upload malware or use cloud storage for anything other than your own UpOrbit data; or
• copy or republish our articles at scale without permission.

7. Product recommendations and affiliate links

Some pages recommend third-party products and contain affiliate links. If you buy through them, UpOrbit may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. No company pays to be included or ranked. UpOrbit makes the UpOrbit app and Chrome extension, so where we list them alongside other tools, keep in mind they are our own products. Prices, availability and features may change. Purchases are governed by the seller's terms, and we don't guarantee any product will work for you.

8. Third-party services

UpOrbit uses third-party services such as Netlify (hosting, accounts, storage), Google (analytics, fonts and the optional Save to Google Docs feature) and Microsoft Clarity (analytics). Your use of those services is also subject to their terms. We're not responsible for third-party websites we link to.

9. Intellectual property

UpOrbit's name, logo, design, software and original content belong to UpOrbit and are protected by law. You may share links to our articles and quote short excerpts with attribution. Product names and trademarks of other companies belong to their owners and are used only to identify those products.

10. Suspension and termination

You can stop using UpOrbit at any time and delete your cloud data and account in the app. We may suspend or close an account, or remove stored data, if it's used in violation of these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Where reasonable, we'll tell you first. We may change, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 3, 11, 12, 13 and 15) will survive.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We don't warrant that the Service, reminders, notifications or sync will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free or secure, or that content is complete or current. Don't rely on UpOrbit reminders for anything where a missed reminder could cause harm, such as time-critical medication.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UPORBIT AND ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS AND CONTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (ZERO FOR THE FREE SERVICE) OR (B) US$50. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your rights under applicable consumer protection or privacy laws.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless UpOrbit and its owners, operators and contributors from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms or of others' rights.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We'll change the date above. If a change is material, we'll give notice on the site or in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using UpOrbit after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree, stop using the Service and delete your data.

15. Governing law and general terms

These Terms are governed by applicable law in the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and nothing in them limits rights you have under the consumer protection laws of the place where you live. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver. These Terms and our privacy policies are the entire agreement between you and UpOrbit about the Service, and you may not transfer them without our consent.
