Orbit messages because you invited it into a private thread. Frequency depends on what you ask it to do. Reply STOP to turn off every Orbit message, HELP for help, or START to resume.
These SMS & Messaging Terms apply to the Orbit Private Beta messaging program (the “Program”), operated by Kaustubh Bhal, a sole proprietor doing business as Orbit, and supplement the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. “Messages” includes SMS, MMS, RCS, iMessage, or another supported phone-messaging channel.
1. How you opt in
You opt in by using an Orbit invitation to initiate a message to Orbit’s dedicated number and then accepting the current Terms of Service, SMS & Messaging Terms, and Privacy Policy during setup. Do not start setup using a phone number you do not own or control.
Your consent is voluntary and is not a condition of purchasing any property, goods, or services. The private beta is currently free.
2. What we send
Program messages may include:
- conversational replies to your requests;
- one-time setup and sign-in links;
- reminders, task updates, and results you requested;
- approval requests and receipts for actions;
- alerts from connected services that match your notification settings;
- requests and replies sent through mutual Orbit connections you accepted; and
- important service, security, consent, and account notices.
Orbit does not currently send promotional or third-party marketing broadcasts through your assistant thread. If that changes, we will obtain any separate consent required by law.
3. Message frequency
Message frequency varies. It depends on how often you message Orbit, the reminders and background work you create, events from services you connect, requests from Orbit users you mutually connect with, your approval activity, and your proactive-notification settings. Several messages may be sent while completing one request. You can reduce proactive messages in the portal without turning off conversational replies.
4. Opt out and resume
You may also reply QUIT, END, REVOKE, OPT OUT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE as a standalone command, or send another clear request such as “stop texting me.” Orbit processes the request before AI inference or connected tools and sends one confirmation. After that, it blocks conversational replies, reminders, task results, approval requests, and proactive alerts.
Reply START, UNSTOP, or RESUME as a standalone command to turn messages back on. Opting out of messages does not delete your Orbit account or imported data. You can still use the account portal to export or delete data. If an account administrator separately suspended beta access, START will not override that suspension.
A phrase such as “cancel my 9 p.m. report” is treated as a task request, not a Program opt-out. A standalone CANCEL is treated as an opt-out.
5. Help
Reply HELP or INFO for a description of the Program, opt-out instructions, and support contact. You can also email support@heyorbit.dev. Privacy questions can be sent to privacy@heyorbit.dev.
6. Charges, carriers, and delivery
Message and data rates may apply under your wireless plan. Your carrier may impose message, data, roaming, or other charges. Message delivery is subject to your device, connectivity, carrier, Apple or other platform services, and our messaging provider. Delivery may be delayed or fail, and carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Orbit currently uses a dedicated messaging number for the private beta. Save the Orbit contact card delivered during setup and use that thread for future requests. If Orbit ever needs to change its sending number, we will identify the new number and explain the transition before asking you to continue there.
7. Number changes and reassignment
If you stop using or lose control of the phone number connected to Orbit, opt out before the number is reassigned and contact us. You may not use another person’s number without permission. We may suspend messaging if we reasonably believe a number has been reassigned or compromised.
8. Privacy and security
We use messaging data to provide and secure the Program as described in the Privacy Policy. Consent records are not sold or shared with third parties for their own marketing. Messaging channels are not appropriate for passwords, authentication codes, payment-card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive secrets.
9. No emergencies
Do not use Orbit for emergencies or situations requiring guaranteed or immediate delivery. Call the appropriate emergency service instead.
10. Changes and termination
We may change or end the Program during the private beta. We will post updated terms and provide additional notice or obtain renewed consent where required. You may withdraw messaging consent at any time using the commands above.
