5.6 Zero Tolerance for Objectionable Content and Abusive Behavior
There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You may not post, share, or transmit content that is harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit, discriminatory, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable, and you may not abuse, harass, or harm other users.

6. Privacy and Data Protection
Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy and consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your information as described.
Key highlights:

- Orbello does not sell personal information
- You can request account deletion at any time, subject to the current deletion workflow and the retention limits described in our Privacy Policy
7. Service Availability and Modifications
7.1 Service "As Is"
7.2 No Uptime Guarantee
We do not guarantee that the Service will be:
- Available at all times or without interruption
- Error-free or free from bugs or defects
- Compatible with all devices or platforms
- Accurate in all calendar calculations, time zones, or event reminders
7.3 Scheduled Maintenance
We may perform scheduled maintenance that temporarily makes the Service unavailable. We will attempt to provide advance notice when possible.
7.4 Service Changes
We reserve the right to:
- Modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time
- Change features, functionality, or appearance
- Impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts of the Service
We will provide reasonable notice of material changes when practicable.
7.5 Your Data Backup Responsibility
You are solely responsible for maintaining backup copies of your calendar events and data. We are not liable for any loss of data due to service interruptions, errors, or your account deletion.
7.6 Beta / Pre-Release Service, Usage Limits, and Fair Use
Orbello is currently offered as a beta / pre-release service. Features may be added, changed, limited, or removed as the Service evolves, and current functionality is not guaranteed to remain available.
During the beta period, some features (including, for example, availability signals, viewing mutual free/busy time across your connections, planning or coordination features, and other capabilities we may later designate as premium) may be offered free of charge and/or without usage limits.
This free or unlimited access is provided on a temporary, promotional basis. It is not a permanent entitlement, and you should not rely on it continuing after the beta period ends.
To keep Orbello sustainable and to continue offering a usable free tier, we may at any time introduce or adjust usage limits, rate limits, quotas, daily or monthly caps, or feature gates, and we may move some features into one or more paid plans. Where a change materially reduces a feature you actively use, we will provide reasonable advance notice when practicable, consistent with Sections 7.4 and 17.
Fair use: We may apply rate limiting, throttling, or temporary restrictions to protect the stability, security, and affordability of the Service and to prevent abuse, including limiting the number of connections, signals, planning or coordination features, invitations, searches, synced external calendars, or backend requests permitted per account over a given period. Mild Mode (the free tier) is subject to usage caps and feature limits that we may introduce or adjust with reasonable notice. Cap values may change without a new app version.
7.7 Advertising (Mild Mode)
Mild Mode is ad-supported. While you use Mild Mode, the Service may display advertisements, including third-party advertisements. Extra Spicy (the paid tier) does not display those ads.
Personalized advertising is optional. You may choose personalized ads or keep non-personalized ads. Declining personalization does not remove ads; only Extra Spicy removes Mild Mode ads. On iOS, personalized ads that use tracking also require your permission under Apple's App Tracking Transparency rules. On Android, you can also use your device advertising settings.
We do not use your calendar event titles, descriptions, locations, attendees, or similar event content for advertising or marketing.

10. Subscriptions, Billing, and Household Memberships
This section applies whenever Extra Spicy is offered for purchase in the App or on a store listing. The subscription title, length, price, and included benefits shown at the point of purchase control if they differ from this summary.
10.1 Service tiers
Orbello has two service tiers:
- Mild Mode — the free, ad-supported tier. Some features are limited, usage-capped, or not included. We may change those limits as described in Section 7.6.
- Extra Spicy — the paid software-as-a-service tier. Extra Spicy removes Mild Mode ads and includes the Extra Spicy features shown at the point of purchase (title, length, price, and benefits there control). We continue to operate, update, and support the Service during a paid period.
Not every seat option or platform is offered at all times. When Extra Spicy is available for purchase, it is sold as an auto-renewing subscription.
10.2 How you buy Extra Spicy
On iPhone and iPad, Extra Spicy is purchased only through Apple In-App Purchase. On Android, Extra Spicy is purchased only through Google Play Billing. We do not sell Extra Spicy through other in-app payment methods.
If we later offer Extra Spicy on the website, that purchase will be presented with its own price and terms at checkout. A subscription you already paid for should work on the devices where Orbello is available for your account, subject to platform and store rules.
10.3 Auto-renewal
Extra Spicy subscriptions automatically renew until you cancel.
Apple App Store. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the cost identified for that renewal. You can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID account settings after purchase (on iOS: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions).
Google Play. Payment will be charged to your Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews until you cancel. You can manage and cancel at any time in Google Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. After you cancel, you keep Extra Spicy until the end of the current period.
We do not currently offer a free trial. If a free trial or introductory offer is presented, its length, the price after the trial, and the conversion date will be shown before you start it. You will be charged unless you cancel before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.
10.4 Prices
Prices vary by storefront, currency, taxes, and any store offer. In the United States, Individual Extra Spicy is listed at $4.00 per month and $38.00 per year as of the Last Updated date above; the price shown at purchase is the price you pay. We may change prices for future periods. If the price of a subscription you already have will increase, we or the store will provide the notice required by law and by Apple or Google.
10.5 Seat options: Individual, Partner, and Family
Extra Spicy may be offered as:
- Individual — 1 Orbello account (the purchaser)
- Partner — 2 Orbello accounts total (the organizer plus 1 member)
- Family — 3 to 6 Orbello accounts (the organizer plus 2 to 5 members)
These are Orbello household memberships. They are not Apple Family Sharing, Google Play Family Library, or a shared login. Each member keeps their own Orbello account, calendar, connections, and private data. Membership shares Extra Spicy subscription access only. It does not create a social connection, share calendars, or give anyone access to another member's private content.
Partner and Family may not be available at launch. If an option is not shown in the App, it is not offered yet.
10.6 Organizer and members
The purchaser is the organizer and is solely responsible for all subscription fees. The organizer may invite members up to the seat cap, remove members, and cancel the subscription. Members may leave. Removed or departing members return to Mild Mode. Members are not entitled to a refund of the organizer's fees.
If the organizer cancels, Extra Spicy for the group continues until the end of the current paid period, then those accounts return to Mild Mode unless someone purchases Extra Spicy again.
If a member already has Extra Spicy on the same store account, Apple and Google upgrade, downgrade, and replacement rules apply so you are not billed twice for the same Extra Spicy access.
10.7 Cancel, restore, and refunds
Cancel through the store that charged you. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
- Apple: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or the subscription management link Apple shows at purchase
- Google: Google Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions
Restore Purchases is available in the App so you can recover Extra Spicy you already paid for on the same store account.
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their rules. Except where the law requires otherwise (including any EU or UK 14-day cooling-off right that still applies), charges are non-refundable, and you keep Extra Spicy until the end of the current period after you cancel.
10.8 Promotional access
We may grant Extra Spicy for a limited time through store offer codes or similar store-approved promotions. Promotional access is not a permanent entitlement, is not transferable except as the store allows, and ends when the stated period ends unless you then subscribe.
