These Terms and Conditions constitute a legally binding agreement (“Agreement”) made between you (“you” or the “Customer(s)”) and Orbit, concerning your access to and use of our mobile application (the “Orbit App” or "App"). By accessing the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms and Conditions.
Additional terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the App from time to time are also part of these Terms and Conditions. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms and Conditions at any time and for any reason. We may notify you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms and Conditions, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms and Conditions to stay informed of updates.
By continuing to use the Application after the date such revised Terms are posted, you will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms and Conditions.
Service Registration
1. Customers can register for the service by creating an account on the Orbit App or via partners or agents (“Orbit Account”)
2. Customers must provide their first and last name, valid country of permanent residence, and a valid email address to register. Additionally, they can upload a profile photo and specify their travel preferences, which is optional.
3. Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions is required to register for the service.
4. Customers must be of legal age to form a binding contract in their jurisdiction.
5. After creating the Orbit Account, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided during registration. This email address will be used by Orbit for communication with the customer.
Service Purchase, Activation, and Usage
Orbit provides access to a digital platform that facilitates mobile connectivity (the "Service") The service is offered as an independent digital solution and does not constitute a traditional telecommunication service.
1. Customers can search, select, and purchase plan vouchers on the Orbit App or through partner services and dashboards. Availability may be restricted in some countries.
2. By purchasing a plan voucher, customers confirm they have an unlocked, eSIM-compatible device, which is necessary for using Orbit services.
3. Customers can choose the desired plan voucher from the available options. Orbit provides details on the main characteristics of each plan, including price, validity period, and country or region of use.
4. Before completing a purchase, customers will have the opportunity to review their order. Once verified, they can confirm the order and proceed to payment.
5. Plan vouchers can be transferred between users prior to being attached to a specific eSIM. Once attached to an eSIM, the plan voucher becomes non-transferable and is permanently linked to that eSIM.
6. Plan vouchers do not provide immediate access to mobile data. Instead, they represent a prepaid entitlement to access a specific data quota in a specific location. Orbit vouchers represent a stored value that can be redeemed over extended period of time for mobile data services provided by third-party network operators. A voucher must be attached to the Orbit eSIM on the customer’s device before activation and redemption can occur. Until activation, the voucher remains inactive and does not begin its validity period.
7. Customers must download the Orbit eSIM to their device to enable activation (if the eSIM is not already installed). The eSIM remains on the customer’s device even after a plan has been used or expired. Customers may remove the eSIM at any time, but Orbit recommends keeping it unless they no longer intend to use Orbit services. Installation requires a stable internet connection.
8. Validity periods:
- Plan vouchers remain valid for 180 days from the date of purchase. If a plan voucher is not activated within this period, it will expire and cannot be used.
- Active plans begin their validity period only upon activation. The standard validity period for an active plan is 30 days, but users can purchase extensions to extend the validity to 90 or 180 days.
9. Plan vouchers can be extended and topped up post-purchase.
- Extensions allow users to increase the validity period before activation.
- Top-ups allow users to add more data to an existing plan once it has been activated.
10. A plan voucher activates automatically (is redeemed) when the Orbit eSIM connects to a supported network in the designated country for the first time. Once activation occurs:
- The plan begins its validity period.
- Data can be used immediately.
- The validity period is based on the purchased plan (30, 90, or 180 days).
- If a customer travels to a different country before activation, the plan voucher remains inactive until they enter the designated country and connect.
11. Active data plans can be shared with multiple users. However, the original purchaser (plan owner) is solely responsible for how the plan is used by others. Orbit does not regulate individual usage once a plan is shared.
12. Plan allowances cannot be modified or customised once a plan voucher has been purchased, except through official top-ups and extensions.
13. If a plan voucher is purchased indirectly or provided by a third party, that third party retains ownership and full authority to manage the plan and customer access to it, subject to any agreement between the customer and the third party.
14. eSIM Reinstallation and Device Transfers
- The Orbit eSIM can be installed on a different device, but it must first be removed from the currently installed device before being reinstalled elsewhere.
- If an active plan is attached to the eSIM, the plan will transfer to the new device along with the eSIM, provided that the eSIM has been properly uninstalled from the previous device.
- If the user is unable to uninstall the eSIM (e.g., due to device loss or damage), attached active plans may not be transferable if they have already been activated.
- Orbit is not responsible for plans that become unusable due to the inability to uninstall and transfer the eSIM from a lost or inaccessible device.
Service Duration and Termination
1. The service will begin immediately after successfully downloading the eSIM and activating the associated data plan.
2. The service duration will be as specified in the terms of the purchased plan.
3. The service will end either upon full usage of the data plan or at the end of the plan’s duration, whichever occurs first.
4. Orbit may suspend the customer’s use of the service in the event of a breach of the customer obligations mentioned below, with or without prior notice, or for any other reason.
Service Engagement
1. The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Orbit will take reasonable steps to make the service available at all times, contingent upon our and/or our service providers’ ability to maintain network capacity and connection availability. However, since Orbit relies on technology and networks provided by its partners, Orbit cannot guarantee the network coverage, quality, or availability of the service.
2. Orbit partners with other entities to deliver the service. Customers agree to comply with the Terms and Conditions of our partners, which are available when purchasing the data plan.
3. Service availability depends on our partners’ ability to maintain network capacity and connection availability, for which no guarantees can be made.

Refund Policy
Generally, transactions are final and no refund will be issued, unless expressly provided otherwise in these Terms or required by law.
In certain and specific case where a refund may be issued, the user may be required to delete the eSIM from their device prior to the issuance of any refunds. The user must confirm that the eSIM has been permanently removed from their device and is no longer accessible or in use.
By requesting a refund, the user expressly warrants and agrees that:
- They will not attempt to reinstall, reuse, or reactivate the eSIM on the same or any other device if deletion is required as part of the refund process.
- They have not shared, transferred, sold, or otherwise allowed any other person to use the eSIM or any associated data plan after the refund request has been submitted.
- Any attempt to use the refunded eSIM or any associated plan after deletion (if required) may result in the cancellation of the refund and further action by Orbit, including but not limited to account suspension or restriction of future purchases.
Partial Refunds and Non-Recoverable Costs
Refunds, when granted, may be issued as full or partial refunds, depending on the specific circumstances. Certain costs associated with the provisioning, generation, and downloading of an eSIM are non-recoverable by Orbit, including but not limited to:
- eSIM profile provisioning costs
- Network setup and allocation fees
- Transaction and processing fees
As a result, Orbit reserves the right to deduct these non-recoverable costs from any refund issued, meaning that users may receive only a partial refund based on the circumstances of their request. The amount refunded will be determined at Orbit’s sole discretion, taking into account factors such as:
- Whether the eSIM profile was downloaded
- Whether the data plan was activated
- Any costs incurred by Orbit in processing and issuing the eSIM
Orbit reserves the right to determine when eSIM deletion is necessary before processing a refund. In cases where the user fails to comply with any required deletion, the refund may be denied or subject to further review.
Device Loss Policy
1. In the event of the Customer’s Device being stolen, destroyed, or lost, the Customer must deactivate their eSIM and inform Orbit immediately, as they will remain liable for any use of the Service.
2. If the Device is lost, Orbit does not provide refunds for the prepaid Service. However, if the Customer downloads the Orbit app on a new Device, they can continue to use the Service they have purchased from their account by requesting the transfer of unactivated plans to a new eSIM. Any activated plans cannot be transferred.
Liability Limitations
1. Orbit is not responsible for any losses, disruptions or detriments due to the service not being continuously available. Orbit does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the network services.
2. Orbit will not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses (whether foreseeable or not), including loss of profit or goodwill, loss of income, use of the services, business opportunities, or any special, punitive, or exemplary damages suffered by the customer for any reason, including but not limited to:
