Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the Satellite Tracker mobile application (the "App"), operated by HauteKit ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing or using the App you accept these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

The service

The App lets you track satellites in real time — the ISS, Starlink and thousands more — on map, radar and 3D globe views, locate them in the night sky with AR, and get pass predictions and reminders. Features may change over time as the App is updated, and some features require a paid subscription.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use the App. By using the App you confirm that you meet this requirement.

License to use the App

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse engineer the App except where the law forbids such a restriction.

Purchases and subscriptions

Paid features are sold through the Apple App Store. Payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds are handled by Apple under the terms shown to you at the time of purchase; we do not receive or store your payment details. Current plans and billing rules are described on our Subscription & Billing page.

Your content

You keep all rights to your saved or manually set location, your favorite satellites and collections, and the observation records you mark. Your content is processed and stored on your device. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use the material you import, and for what you create and share with it.

Data sources and third-party content

Orbit data (TLE) is provided by CelesTrak, launch schedules by Launch Library (The Space Devs), and crew information by a public dataset; star catalogs, satellite models and imagery remain the property of their respective owners and are used with attribution.

Third-party data is provided as is. We do not guarantee its availability, completeness or accuracy, and we are not responsible for content provided by third parties.

Positions are predictions

Satellite positions, pass times and brightness shown in the App are computed predictions and may deviate from reality. Actual visibility depends on weather, lighting and terrain.

The App is provided for reference and education. Do not rely on it for navigation or other safety-critical decisions.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the App. In particular, you will not:

• create or distribute unlawful, infringing, or harmful content with it;
• attempt to disrupt the service or its underlying infrastructure;
• access the service by automated means other than through the App itself;
• misrepresent the App or its output as an official product of any third party.

Intellectual property

The App itself — its design, code, branding and documentation — is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. These terms do not transfer any of those rights to you.

Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end access to the service for users who breach these terms, without affecting any other rights we have.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages — such as lost data, lost profits, or interrupted use — arising from your use of the App. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Indemnification

If your misuse of the App or your violation of these terms leads to a claim against us from someone else, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, including legal fees.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always available on this page. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the new terms.
