Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service form an agreement between you and Transit Satellite LLC, operator of TransitSatellite. By accessing or using transitsatellite.com, creating an account, saving items, or purchasing TransitSatellite Pro, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

You can also review our Trust & Data Accuracy page for more information about data limitations, preview features, visually simplified views, and independent-platform disclosures.

2. The TransitSatellite service

TransitSatellite provides educational and informational tools for exploring satellites, calculated orbital positions, trajectories, visibility estimates, predicted passes, Solar System views, Library stories, saved-item tools, and related space content. Features may be added, changed, limited, or removed as the service develops.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must provide accurate information, protect your login credentials, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity performed through your account. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must approve your use of paid services.

4. Free features and TransitSatellite Pro

Core tracking, Solar System, Library, and educational features may be offered without charge. TransitSatellite Pro provides additional features such as 24-hour trajectory forecasting, timeline controls, forecast playback, expanded saved-item tools, and early access to selected new tools. Pro features may evolve, and Early Access features may be experimental, changed, or later made available more broadly.

5. Subscriptions, renewals and cancellation

6. Refunds

Except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise, subscription charges are nonrefundable and partial billing periods are not prorated. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us promptly so it can be reviewed.

7. Orbital, Solar System and prediction limitations

8. Location features

Location-based results depend on the location and accuracy provided by your device. You control whether to grant location permission. You are responsible for checking local conditions and remaining aware of your surroundings while observing the sky.

9. Affiliate links and gear

Some Gear, Library, or resource links may be affiliate links. TransitSatellite may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. Product information is provided for convenience and may change. The applicable merchant or seller is responsible for product descriptions, availability, pricing, fulfillment, returns, and warranties. A listing or link is not a guarantee that a product is appropriate for your needs.

As an Amazon Associate, TransitSatellite earns from qualifying purchases when Amazon affiliate links are used.

10. Acceptable use

You may not:

• Use the service in violation of law or another person's rights.
• Attempt to bypass account, subscription, or security controls.
• Interfere with or overload the service or its providers.
• Introduce malware or use automated access that harms the service.
• Misrepresent TransitSatellite data as guaranteed or official telemetry.
• Resell or commercially exploit the service without written permission.

11. Intellectual property

TransitSatellite's original software, design, branding, text, and other original content are owned by Transit Satellite LLC or used with permission and are protected by applicable law. Third-party names, trademarks, imagery, and data remain the property of their respective owners. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you.

12. Third-party services

TransitSatellite relies on and may link to third-party services, data sources, affiliate providers, payment providers, analytics providers, and websites. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their availability, content, security, policies, or actions. Your use of them may be governed by separate terms.

13. Availability and Early Access

The service is provided on an evolving basis and may experience outages, errors, or interruptions. Early Access features may be unfinished and may change substantially. We do not promise that every feature will remain available or operate without error.

14. Independence and third-party references

TransitSatellite is an independent educational and tracking platform. TransitSatellite is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by NASA, NOAA, SpaceX, ESA, CelesTrak, or any government agency unless specifically stated. References to public agencies, companies, missions, data providers, or historical programs are used for identification, education, attribution, and context.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the service or others, address fraud or security risks, comply with law, respond to nonpayment, or enforce these Terms. You may stop using the service at any time and may request account deletion by contacting us.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TransitSatellite is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty that cannot legally be excluded.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Transit Satellite LLC, TransitSatellite, and their owners, operators, contractors, or service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost data, loss of use, or damages arising from reliance on orbital, Solar System, visibility, mission, product, or educational information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, total liability for claims relating to the service will not exceed the amount you paid to TransitSatellite during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

18. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute that is not otherwise resolved will be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Florida, except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms as the service changes. Updated Terms will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after updated Terms take effect means you accept them, except where additional notice or consent is required by law.
