These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the ORBAT platform and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by ORBAT HQ PTY LTD ("ORBAT," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Acceptance and agreement
1.1 How you accept these Terms
You accept these Terms by: (a) clicking an "I agree," "Accept," or similar button when creating an account or placing an order; (b) using the Service in any way; or (c) authorizing any user under your account to use the Service.
1.2 Authority to bind your organization
The Service is designed for business use. By accepting these Terms, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you have the legal authority to bind the organization on whose behalf you are accepting these Terms (the "Customer"); and (c) these Terms constitute a binding legal obligation of that organization. If you do not have such authority, you must not use the Service.
1.3 The subscribing organization is the Customer
These Terms apply to the organization that subscribes to the Service, not to individual authorized users. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all users under its account comply with these Terms.
2. Service description
2.1 What ORBAT does
ORBAT is a Continuous Cyber Supply Chain Intelligence (CSCI) SaaS platform. The Service autonomously discovers, crawls, scores, and maps third-party supplier relationships and sub-processors, giving organizations a real-time view of their cyber supply chain exposure.
2.2 Public sources only
ORBAT's intelligence engine operates exclusively on publicly available web content — including sub-processor disclosure pages, privacy policies, data processing agreements, job listings, press releases, and DNS records. ORBAT does not access, process, or store your confidential data or your suppliers' confidential data. The Service does not conduct any unauthorized access to computer systems.
2.3 Inferred relationships — not verified facts
All relationships discovered by the Service are inferred from publicly available evidence and assigned a confidence score. Discovered relationships are not verified facts. They represent ORBAT's probabilistic assessment based on available public evidence at the time of the crawl. Confidence scores are indicative, not definitive. Customers are responsible for independently validating any discovered relationship before relying on it for business decisions, regulatory submissions, or legal purposes.
2.4 "Claimed by vendor" attributes
Where the Service displays attributes derived from a vendor's own published materials (such as security certifications, compliance attestations, or sub-processor lists), those attributes are labeled "Claimed by vendor — not independently verified by ORBAT." ORBAT makes no representation as to the accuracy, completeness, or currency of vendor-claimed attributes.
2.5 Service modifications
ORBAT reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes that reduce functionality.
3. Subscription plans, pricing, and billing
3.1 Available plans
ORBAT offers the following subscription plans:
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price (billed annually) |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $59/month | $49/month |
| Professional | $179/month | $149/month |
| Enterprise | Custom — annual contract | Custom — annual contract |
Plan features, supplier limits, chain depth limits, and user seat limits are as described on the pricing page at orbathq.com/pricing and may be updated from time to time with notice per Section 3.7.
3.2 Free trial
ORBAT offers a 14-day free trial on Starter and Professional plans. No credit card is required to start a trial. Trial accounts are subject to the following limitations: (a) export functionality is disabled; (b) Incident Mode is disabled; (c) the Risk Alert Center is disabled; and (d) supply chain graph nodes beyond the first tier are visible but obfuscated — supplier names, domains, and evidence sources for second-tier nodes and beyond are hidden. Trial access is provided once per organization. ORBAT reserves the right to deny trial access to organizations that have previously held a trial under a different account or domain.
3.3 Trial to paid conversion
At day 12 of the trial, ORBAT will send a reminder email with a link to enter payment details. If payment details are not entered by the end of the 14-day trial period, the account will enter a read-only state: existing graph data remains accessible, but new crawls are paused and exports are disabled. Trial account data is retained for 30 days after trial expiry, after which it is permanently deleted.
3.4 Auto-renewal
Monthly and annual subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. By providing payment details, you authorize ORBAT to charge the applicable subscription fee to your payment method on a recurring basis.
3.5 Cancellation and refund policy
Monthly plans: You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No prorated refund is issued for the unused portion of the current billing period. Access continues until the end of the period.
Annual plans: You may cancel an annual plan for a prorated refund within 30 days of the subscription start date or annual renewal date. After 30 days, annual plans are non-refundable and run to the end of the contracted term. Where ORBAT materially reduces the functionality of the Service, a prorated refund may be available at ORBAT's discretion.
Enterprise contracts: Cancellation terms are defined in the applicable Master Services Agreement (MSA).
On cancellation or termination: your data remains accessible for export for 30 days following the end of your access period, after which it is permanently deleted.
3.6 Payment processing
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. ORBAT does not store payment card numbers. By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and authorize Stripe to process payments on behalf of ORBAT.
3.7 Price changes
ORBAT will provide at least 30 days' notice before implementing price increases. Notice will be given by email to the account owner. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
3.8 Taxes
Subscription fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, or duties, including sales tax and value added tax (VAT). You are responsible for paying all such taxes associated with your subscription.
4. Acceptable use
4.1 Authorized users only
You may only permit employees, contractors, and agents of the Customer who have agreed to maintain confidentiality obligations consistent with these Terms to access the Service ("Authorized Users"). You are responsible for all actions taken under your account by Authorized Users.
4.2 Prohibited uses
You must not, and must not permit any Authorized User to:
(a) Resell or redistribute intelligence output. Resell, sublicense, or redistribute any intelligence data, discovered relationships, confidence scores, or evidence sources produced by the Service to any third party, whether for commercial gain or otherwise, without ORBAT's prior written consent.
(b) Abuse the Service infrastructure. Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Service by automated means beyond normal product use; reverse engineer or attempt to extract the underlying crawl algorithms or confidence scoring model; circumvent rate limits, access controls, or tenant isolation measures; or use the Service to probe, attack, or test vulnerabilities in ORBAT's infrastructure.
(c) Use for illegal purposes. Use the Service for any purpose that violates applicable law, including but not limited to: unauthorized surveillance, discrimination based on protected characteristics, harassment, anti-competitive intelligence gathering in violation of applicable competition law, or any activity that violates another party's intellectual property or privacy rights.
(d) Submit unlawful data. Upload supplier lists or other data to the Service that you do not have the lawful right to process. By uploading data to ORBAT, you represent that you have obtained all necessary consents and have a lawful basis for processing that data.
(e) Misrepresent discovered intelligence. Present discovered relationships or confidence scores as verified facts, legal opinions, or independent security assessments without clearly attributing them as inferred intelligence from ORBAT with the applicable confidence score.
4.3 Compliance with applicable law
You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including data protection laws, sector-specific regulations (such as DORA, NIS2, HIPAA, and CMMC), and export control laws.
5. Data and privacy
5.1 What ORBAT processes
In providing the Service, ORBAT processes the following data on your behalf:
- Account data: organization name, user names, work email addresses, and password hashes (never in plaintext).
- Supplier data: organization names and domains submitted by you via CSV upload or manual entry.
- Discovered intelligence: supplier relationships, sub-processor relationships, confidence scores, and evidence source URLs derived from publicly available web content.
- Crawl log data: URLs attempted, HTTP status codes, parse results, error reasons, and timestamps — maintained for audit and SOC2 compliance purposes.
- Usage data: feature usage events, session timestamps, and IP addresses.
5.2 What ORBAT does not process
ORBAT does not process: (a) payment card numbers (processed directly by Stripe); (b) personal data of your suppliers' employees; (c) health data, financial account data, or government identification numbers; (d) personal data of your own customers; or (e) any data from systems that ORBAT does not have lawful authority to access.
5.3 Tenant isolation
All Customer data is processed and stored in a dedicated tenant-isolated environment. ORBAT's data architecture enforces four independent layers of tenant isolation: API gateway-level JWT validation, application-level tenant context enforcement, PostgreSQL row-level security on all tenant-scoped tables, and storage-layer path isolation. No other ORBAT customer can access your data.
5.4 Global vendor graph
Where you have opted in to the Global Vendor Graph contribution feature (enabled by default, opt-out available in account settings), ORBAT may incorporate anonymized vendor-to-sub-processor relationship data discovered from vendors' own public websites into ORBAT's shared Global Vendor Graph. The following applies:
- Never contributed: the fact that your organization uses a particular vendor; any data that identifies your organization; your supplier list; any customer-specific configuration.
- May be contributed: vendor-to-sub-processor relationships extracted from the vendor's own public website (e.g., their sub-processor disclosure page), without any association with your tenancy.
- Opt-out is available at any time in account settings without affecting service quality.
5.5 Data retention
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Trial account data | 30 days after trial expiry |
| Active subscription data | Duration of subscription + 30 days after termination |
| Billing records | 7 years (legal and accounting requirement) |
| Security and audit logs | 12 months |
| Backup snapshots | 30-day rolling window |
Customers may export their data at any time while the account is active. ORBAT will provide a 30-day post-termination export window before final deletion.
5.6 Data processing agreement (DPA)
A standard Data Processing Agreement is available on request at privacy@orbathq.com and is included by default in all Enterprise MSAs. The DPA governs ORBAT's processing of personal data on your behalf in accordance with applicable data protection law, including GDPR.
5.7 Privacy policy
ORBAT's Privacy Policy at orbathq.com/legal/privacy-policy describes how ORBAT collects and uses personal data of account users and website visitors. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
6. Intellectual property
6.1 ORBAT intellectual property
ORBAT owns all right, title, and interest in and to: the ORBAT platform, software, algorithms, confidence scoring models, brand, trademarks, and documentation. These Terms do not transfer any ORBAT intellectual property to you. Your right to use the Service is a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for the duration of your subscription.
6.2 Customer data ownership
You retain all ownership of: (a) your supplier lists and configurations submitted to ORBAT; and (b) any data you upload or create within the Service. ORBAT does not claim ownership of your data.
6.3 Discovered intelligence — license to Customer
Intelligence output produced by the Service (discovered relationships, confidence scores, and evidence sources) is licensed to you for internal business use only during the term of your subscription. You may not: resell, sublicense, or commercially distribute discovered intelligence to third parties; or use it to build a competing product or service.
6.4 Feedback
If you provide ORBAT with feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant ORBAT a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback to improve the Service without obligation to you.
6.5 Aggregated and anonymized data
Subject to Section 5.4, you grant ORBAT the right to use aggregated, anonymized discovery data (vendor-to-sub-processor relationships derived from public sources, with no customer identification) to maintain and improve the Global Vendor Graph. This right survives termination with respect to data already incorporated into the Global Vendor Graph in anonymized form.
7. Confidentiality
7.1 Mutual obligations
Each party agrees to: (a) keep the other party's Confidential Information strictly confidential; (b) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the disclosing party's prior written consent; and (c) use Confidential Information only for the purposes of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under these Terms.

10.4 Exclusion of consequential damages
