1. About Orbit

Orbit Event Hub is a platform that helps users discover, create, organise, and attend social events. Orbit provides the technology platform. Unless clearly stated otherwise, Orbit is not the organiser, host, venue, transport provider, insurer, employer, charity, healthcare provider, or safeguarding authority for events listed by users.

2. Your account

• You must provide accurate information when creating or using an account.
• You are responsible for keeping your login details secure.
• You must not allow another person to use your account.

• Orbit may restrict, suspend, or remove accounts where these terms, the Community Rules, or the law are breached.

3. Age restriction

• You must be 18 or over to become a member of Orbit.
• Under-18s must not create accounts or communicate directly through Orbit.
• Parents, guardians, or responsible adults may book suitable child-friendly events for children where the event allows this.
• The adult account holder remains responsible for the child before, during, and after the event.

4. Events and hosts

• Event hosts are responsible for the accuracy, safety, legality, and delivery of their event.
• Hosts must provide clear information about date, time, location, price, accessibility, cancellation terms, age suitability, and any important risks.
• Hosts must comply with applicable laws, venue requirements, insurance requirements, licences, safeguarding duties, and health and safety obligations.
• Orbit may remove or restrict events that appear unsafe, misleading, unlawful, abusive, or unsuitable for the platform.

5. Attendees

• You are responsible for deciding whether an event is suitable for you.
• You must follow venue rules, host instructions, local laws, and reasonable safety requirements.
• You must behave respectfully towards hosts, attendees, venues, staff, and the public.
• You attend events at your own discretion and should take normal personal safety precautions.

6. Payments, bookings, refunds, and cancellations

• Some events or features may require payment.
• Prices, fees, refund rules, and cancellation terms should be shown before booking where applicable.
• Payment processing may be handled by third-party payment providers.
• Hosts are responsible for honouring their stated event terms unless Orbit clearly states otherwise.
• Orbit may refuse, cancel, or reverse bookings where fraud, abuse, error, chargeback risk, or breach of terms is suspected.

7. User content

You remain responsible for content you upload or post, including event listings, images, videos, messages, reviews, comments, reports, and profile information.

• You must own or have permission to use any content you upload.
• You must not upload unlawful, abusive, misleading, hateful, explicit, exploitative, infringing, or unsafe content.
• You grant Orbit permission to display and use your content as needed to operate, promote, moderate, and improve the platform.
• Orbit may remove or restrict content at its discretion where it may breach these terms, the Community Rules, or the law.

8. Messaging and communication

• You must use Orbit messaging responsibly and respectfully.
• You must not harass, threaten, pressure, exploit, spam, or abuse other users.
• You must not attempt to obtain personal details from other users unfairly or for unsafe purposes.
• Orbit may review reports, restrict messaging, or take enforcement action where misuse is suspected.

9. Safety, safeguarding, and emergencies

Orbit is not an emergency service and does not guarantee user identity, event safety, host suitability, attendee behaviour, or venue conditions. If there is an immediate risk to life, safety, or welfare, contact the emergency services first.

• Users and hosts must report serious safety concerns to the appropriate authorities where necessary.
• Hosts running child-friendly, vulnerable-person, support, health-related, or community-care events must ensure they meet any applicable safeguarding, insurance, qualification, or legal duties.
• Orbit may cooperate with law enforcement, regulators, safeguarding bodies, or payment providers where legally required or where necessary to protect users.

10. No professional advice

Information on Orbit is provided for general event and community purposes only. Orbit does not provide medical, legal, financial, therapeutic, safeguarding, or professional advice. Users should seek qualified professional support where needed.

11. Platform availability

Orbit aims to provide a reliable service, but we do not guarantee that the platform will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We may update, suspend, restrict, or withdraw parts of the platform where needed.

12. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so. Subject to that, Orbit is not responsible for losses caused by user behaviour, host actions, event cancellation, venue issues, third-party services, incorrect listings, personal disputes, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

13. Third-party services

Orbit may link to or integrate with third-party services such as payment processors, email providers, venues, maps, analytics, hosting providers, or external websites. These services may have their own terms and privacy policies.

14. Privacy

How Orbit collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy. By using Orbit, you acknowledge that your personal data will be handled in accordance with that policy.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Legal Terms from time to time. Where changes are important, we may notify users through the platform or by email. Continued use of Orbit after changes are made means you accept the updated terms.
