FAQ - OrbitU

FAQ's

Location & Accuracy

Why does it show "no network or phone off", or "location permissions/GPS off"?

Switching to a new phone, changing phones, or logging in to multiple devices can cause an error message to appear for the member.

Some phones will display a message saying the location needs to be set to 'always', or 'no network or phone off', or 'location permissions/GPS off' when it has been verified they are turned on. You may also see a message that 'battery saver' is on when it is not. When this happens, other Places members may not be able to see you on the map, but you will be able to see them on the map.

To fix this:

Log out of OrbitU on the new phone, or one you wish to use
Login to OrbitU on the other device where the account has also been used
Go to device Settings
Scroll to find the OrbitU app
On Android phones: tap on ‘Permissions’ setting, turn on ‘Location’
On iPhones/iPads: tap on 'Location' setting, tap on 'Always' in the Allow Location Access section. (note - iPads are not supported)
Log out of OrbitU on the device you do not wish to use any longer
Log back in to the Android device you wish to use with OrbitU
Once logged back into your primary phone, you may need to tap the 'Check In' button a few times to refresh your location.RELATED ARTICLES THAT MAY HELP:

How do I know if my Places member stopped sharing their location?
iOS 14 - the new Apple Update: Location Sharing Settings
How do I move to a new phone?
Why do I need to have OrbitU on only one device?

*NOTE: If you no longer have access to the other device you were once logged into, you can try changing the password on your account, log out of OrbitU, power off the phone for five minutes, then log back in and tap the 'Check In' button a few times to refresh your location.

I lost connection, how can I reconnect?

Connection is lost when a device is unable to communicate with the OrbitU server. It is also possible the device itself is not allowing OrbitU to update when running in the background, causing the app to lose connection.

The fastest way for you to regain connection is to refresh the app by logging out and logging back in again. If you are unsure on how to do so, please follow these steps on the device that has lost connection:

Tap on 'Settings' in the lower right corner
Scroll down and tap on 'Log Out'
Force close the app
Power off the phone for at least two minutes
Log back in with the same email/phone number and password
As long as an internet connection is present you will regain connection to OrbitU.

A Places Member stopped updating location. How do I fix this?

Go through this handy guide if a Places member has stopped updating their location.

NOTE: These steps apply to the person whose phone has stopped updating location, not your phone.

1. Check the basics

Don't worry! There are a few easy-to-fix reasons why you might not see a Places member's location:

They closed OrbitU as an active app on their phone. Ask them to open OrbitU.
They turned off their phone or the battery has run out or is below 20%
They are in an area where there is no, or very poor, network connection - two bars of signal strength or less - so OrbitU cannot find their location
Their phone is in Airplane mode
They are on a VPN or using a mobile hotspot

2. Check your Places member's phone settings

iOS location setting needs to be set to "Always". Using the setting "While in Use" will not allow the app to work correctly or maintain location accurately.
Low Power Mode on iOS: Low Power mode reduces or turns off background app refresh which will prevent OrbitU from running. When enabled, the battery icon at the top of your phone will appear yellow. Disable Low Power Mode to maintain your OrbitU connection.
Cellular Data - OrbitU must be allowed to use cellular data to function properly.
High Accuracy Mode needs to be on for Android devices.
Permissions setting on Android: turn on ‘Location’
Disable the App Optimization mode on Android for the OrbitU app. This needs to be done to allow OrbitU to run in the background and update regularly.

3. Make sure they are logged in as the correct person, not with your email or account info

Is your Places member logged into the OrbitU app with their mobile phone number? Make sure they are. If the member is logged into OrbitU with your phone number, then they are logged in as you. This will cause their location to update on your profile instead of theirs. Have the member log out of the app and log in with their phone number.
Is the member logged into more than one device? Some users have a second device with OrbitU on it. To be located correctly, a member should only be logged in to one device at a time. Otherwise, you may show as "stuck" at one location, or "bounce" between two locations. If you need to use OrbitU on another device, we recommend you create a separate account.

4. There are some 3rd-party apps that stop OrbitU from updating location

There are apps that stop applications from running in the background. These "App Killers" and "Task Managers" are usually advertised as battery-saving apps. If your Places member does have one, they will need to go into the "Task Manager" app and give OrbitU permission to run.

There are also anti-virus apps and parental control apps that prevent OrbitU from updating. If you have one or the other member has one, give permission for OrbitU to run.

5. Update OrbitU to the current version

Make sure the newest version of the OrbitU app is installed on each phone. You can see if there is a new version by searching for OrbitU in the app store. Our team works day and night to improve the app. Each update includes improvements!

6. Check this FAQ for tips on improving accuracy

What is real-time movement on the map?

Real-time movement is visible on the map when a member is moving.

You may be able to see another Places member moving in real-time if their device has a very strong and consistent connection to the internet while they are moving. Having drive detection turned on, for Better and Best members, will help in seeing real-time movement.

To see real-time movement:

The app gets a signal every two seconds while being viewed. If no one is watching, it will not get a signal that often. It may take up to ten seconds for movement to show on the map.
You need to start watching the member on the map after they have already started moving. If you start watching when they are stopped, it will never show movement. Close the app and try again once they are moving.
Real-time movement will show for only one hour in a rolling 3-hour window. This is done to conserve the battery life of the member who is driving. Pressing the refresh button will reset this process and will show about 25 more seconds of real-time movement. If both phones are plugged in, this will extend this time.
There is a 5-minute limit on watching real-time movement to prevent battery and data drain on the phone of the person who is moving. To restart this, close and reopen the app, or press the refresh button.
Real-time driving speed may only be shown when a member is driving, not while walking, running, or biking. A reliable actual speed may not always be available so real-time speed may not always be shown. In this case, a spinning purple Places may be shown instead of the actual speed. Take a look at the animation below to see this.

If you are not seeing real-time movement, here are some reasons why:

Real-time requires data service and may not function properly if the cell signal or GPS are low or interrupted. (e.g., less than two bars)
Real-time movement will not be shown if the member's battery is 20% or lower.
Real-time requires the app to be allowed to run in the background and without battery saver mode in use on the phone.
CDMA cell carriers (including Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular) do not always support internet while on a phone call. If your cell provider does not support internet while on a phone call, our system will not be able to update your movement, driving behaviors or detect a collision if you are on a phone call.
Check this FAQ that shows the phone settings needed for the best location accuracy and timeliness.

NOTE: Viewing a member's drive causes additional battery and data usage on their phone, and to a lesser extent, on your phone. We recommend not watching another member for too long a period so as not to drain their battery and increase their data usage.

If you see the real-time 'speed radius'. This will appear when the member's connection to OrbitU is strong and consistent.
If you see a loading spinner. This means that we are not able to detect that member's speed due to their phone not having a strong connection to the app at that moment.

How do I view History?

History is displayed on your Places member's profile. When you tap on a Places member's name or picture, you will see a quick view of their drive and location data.

To see a more detailed history for the most recent drive or trip, tap on the small purple map icon in the lower right corner of the map.

At the top of the 'Day Detail' screen, use the arrows to choose a specific date to view that day's drives or trips. Use the slider at the bottom of the screen to highlight specific locations and times during the drive or trip.
The purple dots along the path are locations where the device made a connection to OrbitU to report location.

Notes About History:

History is visible for two days on free plans. When you upgrade to Better Membership, you will immediately see 7 days of history. Better members will see 30 days of history . We do not store any history past 30 days.
If you were a former Better user who was automatically upgraded to a Best Membership, you will still have 30 days of history.
There is no way to delete any or all of a user's history other than deleting the user account.
You will be able to view history in a list form by logging in to your account on the website at https://orbitu.app
There is not a way to save or print the history list from the app or website. We suggest taking screenshots of the history to preserve them for other uses.

Why are we still showing at our old house after we moved?

Sometimes your device sees a WiFi signal that is associated with the wrong address. This often happens after you move to a new address or the WiFi router was moved to a new location. It can take up to a few weeks for iOS and Android to learn the new location. We know this can be disruptive, and our engineers are working on a solution to this problem.

There is a third-party tool that may help fix this. The tool is not made by OrbitU, so, unfortunately, we cannot provide support or assistance with it. The tool is an international database of WiFi router locations. You can update the address of your router by using this tool. Here is the website if you would like to try it: https://www.skyhookwireless.com/submit-access-point

Hopefully, this will work for you. The other thing to keep in mind: if you do not use this tool, or if it does not work right away, your router's address will eventually update to the new location. However, we do not know how long that might take. These WiFi addresses are all part of Apple and Google router databases that we cannot control.

How do I change the map views?

To switch the map image to the satellite view, simply zoom in on the map. It will return to street-view when you zoom back out.

To change the default map view setting:

Tap on the round map icon in the lower right corner of the map.
Tap on the first option to see the default hybrid map. This option will start with street view, then change to satellite as you zoom in.
Tap on the second option to default to only show the street view map.
Tap on the third option to default to only show the satellite map.

NOTE: To view the breadcrumb trail history of a Places member, read the "How Do I view History" in this FAQ section for more details.

Centering the Map

To center the map so it snaps back to the Places member's location, tap on the 'target' icon on the map. This will place the member's pin back to the center of the map.

Direction Cone

The purple cone moving around a person's avatar is called the "direction cone". When holding the phone up in front of you, it shows the direction you are facing at that moment, north/south/east/west. It does not show movement, only the direction you're facing. You do not have to be moving for this to show, it will show all the time, moving or not. This feature cannot be turned off. Note that this is only visible for yourself - you will not see the direction cone for other Places members.

Can I delete my history or driving events?

The only way to delete your history or driving events is to delete your OrbitU account.

This cannot be undone.

Important! If you have a OrbitU Membership subscription, you must cancel the subscription or you will continue to be billed, even if you delete your account and remove the OrbitU app from your device.

How do I cancel my Premium subscription?

Follow these steps to delete your account:

Tap on 'Settings' on the lower right corner
Tap on 'Account'
Tap on 'Delete Account'

Can someone locate me without me knowing it?

No, OrbitU is an opt-in app. For someone to find your location using OrbitU, you will need to give us your explicit permission by:

Installing the OrbitU app
Creating and logging into your account
Accepting an invitation to join a Places

As soon as you log out of OrbitU or turn off location permissions, your location will no longer update.

How do I stop sharing my location?

Turning off your location in one Places will not affect location sharing in your other Places. You can choose which Places you want to share your location in.

NOTE: Pressing the Check In button will update your location in every Places even if location sharing is turned off. If you press the SOS button, this will also turn location sharing back on for that Places.

To stop sharing your location:

Tap on 'Settings' in the lower right corner
In the Places Switcher at the top of the screen, select the Places you want to stop sharing location with
Tap on 'Location Sharing'
Tap the slider to turn off the setting - it will be gray/white when turned off
On the map, your location will show the message "Location Sharing Paused"

iOS 14 - the new Apple Update: Location Sharing Settings

iOS 14 is the latest and greatest software update for iPhones. If you have installed it or are about to, read below to see what you need to know about keeping your OrbitU location accuracy the best it can be with iOS 14.

This FAQ answers these questions:

What is different on iOS 14?
Why do I ‘Always’ need to share my location?
Why do I see a screen asking me to change my location settings to ‘While Using the App'?
Why do I see a screen asking me to change my location settings to ‘Always’?

What is different on the iOS 14 Apple update?

iOS has introduced a new location setting called 'Precise Location'. For OrbitU to provide the most accurate location, this setting should always be turned on.

On iOS devices, you currently have three options to share your precise location with an app: always, only when the app is in use or never. When you update to iOS 13, you will see an additional option called “allow once,” which lets an app access your device’s precise location information only once.

If you are using iOS 13, you will begin to receive notifications about when an app is using your precise location in the background and how many times an app has accessed that information. The notification will also include a map of the location data an app has received and an explanation of why the app uses that type of location information.

Why do I ‘Always’ need to share my location?

Set your location sharing permission to ‘Always’ to leverage our safety, coordination and history features reliably. On your iOS phone, Apple will prompt you to change to ‘While Using the App’ - make sure to keep selecting ‘Always’, to ensure all of our features keep working for you. To do so, go to your phone’s Settings, tap on ‘OrbitU’ in your list of apps, tap on ‘Location’, choose ‘Always’ under ‘Allow Location Access’.

When you have selected ‘Always’ on your phone, you can still stop sharing your location with specific Places. You can read how to do that here.

Why do I see a screen asking me to change my location settings to ‘While Using the App?

Apple is being transparent about which apps use your location. OrbitU requires you to share your location in order to leverage safety, coordination and history features reliably for you. Please make sure to keep selecting ‘Always’.

Why do I see a screen asking me to change my location settings to ‘Always’?

OrbitU requires you to share your location in order to leverage safety, coordination and history features reliably for you. Please make sure to keep selecting ‘Always’. * For more settings and steps to get the best location accuracy on your iPhone, take a look at our ”How do I Improve inaccurate location” FAQ.

Driving Safety

What is Free Crash Detection?

OrbitU is excited to announce that our Crash Detection feature is now available to our U.S.-based users for free.

Crash Detection by OrbitU senses when there has been a serious car accident, so loved ones can react more quickly during those first few critical moments following a car accident and save lives. Available for both iOS and Android devices, Crash Detection is now available for free to all OrbitU users.

Crash Detection is a driver safety service that recognizes when a user has been in an accident, either as a driver or passenger. The feature uses OrbitU patented technology to detect major collisions whenever the vehicle is moving over 25 mph by using the sensors in a user’s phone, including the accelerometer and GPS.

Immediately following a detected crash, OrbitU sends a push notification to the user in the vehicle. If help is needed or the user doesn’t respond within a five-minute grace period, all Places members and emergency contacts are notified via a text message with the user’s exact location. For more information about how Crash Detection works, see the FAQ in this section below.

To activate Free Crash Detection, tap on the 'Safety' tab at the bottom of the screen, then tap on Crash Detection and follow the steps.

Users can upgrade to the OrbitU Best or Better Membership to have a trained OrbitU live agent dispatch emergency responders to the exact location of an accident as part of the Crash Detection feature, in addition to notifying Places members and providing directions to the person in need. For more info on our plans, visit our Plans and Pricing section.

*Free Crash Detection and the Better and Best Memberships are only available in the U.S.

In order for OrbitU to detect a crash:

The vehicle needs to be moving at a sustained speed of least at 25 mph for at least 30 seconds before the collision
The vehicle needs to come to a sudden, complete stop after the collision
The phone needs to have more than 20% battery life and not be in power saving mode
The phone needs to have a cellular signal and OrbitU needs permission to use it
The phone's location permissions need to be set to allow location "Always" (not "While in Use")
If you're on a CDMA carrier (including Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular), cell data doesn't always work if you are on a phone call. If you’re on a phone call at the time of a car crash, the crash won’t be detected until after you hang up the phone. If you don’t end your phone call shortly after the crash, we won’t be able to detect it at all.
You need to be in an area with strong cell phone reception (e.g. crash detection does not work in a tunnel)

NOTE: Even if all the criteria above are met, OrbitU may not detect all major collisions due to network outages, algorithm error, availability of GPS location data, sensor error on the mobile device, and crash location outside of a wireless service coverage area among others. See the Terms of Use for complete details and limitations.

For best reliability:

Place your phone is in a secure position such as in your pocket, phone holder, or glove box
Have your phone with WiFi turned on
Make sure your phone is well charged
Use the latest version of the OrbitU app

What is crash detection?

OrbitU offers Crash Detection and emergency response for all members in a Better or Best Membership Places in the U.S.. When OrbitU detects that you have been in a serious collision (either as a passenger or as a driver), we'll contact you. If need be, we’ll also notify everyone in your Places as well as your emergency contacts if you've specified them in the app. We also dispatch 911 emergency services if needed, or when you are unable to respond. Crash Detection uses patented technology to detect major collisions. It relies on sensors in your phone to detect a significant impact whenever the vehicle is moving at least 25 mph. Therefore, it won’t detect fender-benders, being rear-ended, or other minor accidents. To get help with minor accidents, towing, jump starts, emergency weather advice, flat tires, lockouts, and running out of gas, your Places has access to 24/7 roadside assistance by tapping the 'Call Roadside Assistance' button in the 'Safety' tab. See "What is Drive Detection & Analysis?" in this section below.

In order for OrbitU to detect a crash:

The vehicle needs to be moving at a sustained speed of least at 25 mph for at least 30 seconds before the collision

My collision was not detected, why?

Crash Detection uses patented technology to detect major collisions. It relies on sensors in your phone to detect a significant impact whenever the vehicle is moving at least 25 mph. Therefore, it won’t detect fender-benders, being rear-ended, or other minor accidents. A collision can't be detected if location sharing isn't 'always' enabled, or when a user doesn't permit our app to utilize motion and fitness sensors (these permissions can be accessed in the ‘Settings’ area of your phone and might be named differently depending on your phone type). Please also make sure that all your Places members keep selecting ‘Always’ for location sharing in order to enable Crash Detection and protect your loved ones.

Crash Detection has not been tested on motorcycles, scooters, or three-wheel trikes. However, we’re always working to improve the reliability and the types of collisions that we can detect. *Crash Detection, emergency response, and roadside assistance are only available in the US For more settings and steps to get the best location accuracy on your phone, take a look at our ”How do I Improve inaccurate location?” FAQ. To get more information on the types of crashes we detect, please review our “What is Crash Detection?” question in this section above.

What is Drive Detection & Analysis?

Drive Detection analyzes phone location and activity to determine when each member is driving. During a drive, it detects potentially unsafe behaviors, such as phone usage, high speed, hard braking, and rapid acceleration. Driving information and events are then shared with the entire Places. Many families use this information to have conversations about safe driving and keep each other accountable for coming home safely.

Each member must enable Drive Detection on their account.
Drives must be at least 1/2 mile and over 15 mph, so some shorter drives may not be detected.
Drive Detection increases battery usage. Drive detection is automatically disabled when the battery is 20% or less.
Drive Detection requires the app to be allowed to run in the background and without battery saver mode in use on the phone.
Drive Detection requires data service and may not function properly if the cell signal or GPS are low or interrupted (e.g., less than two bars).
Crash Detection* requires Drive Detection to be enabled and a sustained speed of at least 25 mph for at least 30 seconds before the collision. Therefore, fender-benders, rear-end collisions and other minor accidents may not be detected. (See the Terms of Use for limitations of crash detection)
NOTE: If you're on a CDMA carrier (including Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular), cell data doesn't always work if you are on a phone call. If you’re on a phone call at the time of a car crash, the crash won’t be detected until after you hang up the phone. If you don’t end your phone call shortly after the crash, we won’t be able to detect it at all.
Drives showing as trips usually happen due to one of the issues listed above.*Crash Detection and roadside assistance are only available in the United States.

To turn on Drive Detection:

Tap on 'Settings' in the lower right corner
Tap on Drive Detection
Tap on the slider to activate
Do this on each member's device

Do I have to share my location in order for Crash Detection to work?

Yes. OrbitU needs your location sharing permission to be set to ‘Always’ in your phone’s Settings. As you should not open the app while you are driving, Crash Detection will not work with the setting ‘While Using the App’. If you want to know how to turn on your location setting as an iOS user, please watch this video on how to set the permission on iOS.

As an Android phone user, please also make sure that location sharing is always allowed and permission for physical activity sensors is turned on.

*Crash Detection, emergency response, and roadside assistance are only available in the US

Driving Alerts and Other Common Questions

Here are some common questions about Driving Alerts and Settings

To turn on Drive Detection:

Tap on 'Settings' in the lower right corner
Tap on 'Drive Detection'
Tap on the slider to activate
Do this on each member's device

How do I turn on/off driving Alerts?

Tap on 'Settings' in the lower right corner
Tap on 'Smart Notifications
Tap on 'Safe Drive Notifications'
Tap on the Places member for whom you want to turn alerts on or off
NOTE: This setting does not turn driving detection on or off for a member, only the alerts for that member.

What happens when I turn on/off Drive Detection?
Turning on Drive Detection will allow your device to detect your driving information and behavior. Drive Detection can also determine certain events such as phone usage, speed, hard-braking, and rapid acceleration.

NOTE: Drive Detection may increase battery drain. We are constantly improving the feature to keep the battery usage minimal.

How can I tell if Places members have Drive Detection turned on?
Tap on 'Safety' at the bottom of the screen. Tap on 'Crash Detection'. All Places members' Crash Detection Status will be shown.

Why does it say 'Drive Detection Off' for one of my Places Members?
Every Places member needs to turn on Drive Detection in order for the app to report their driving. To turn this on, each member needs to tap on 'Settings', and tap on 'Drive Detection' and turn the slider ON.

Can someone still receive driving Alerts about me if my Drive Detection is paused?
No. You must have Drive Detection ON if others want to receive alerts.
NOTE: Driving detection and behaviors will not be monitored if the device battery is 20% or less. At that point, the current drive will be shown as having ended.

Can I receive driving Alerts for my other Places Members when my Drive Detection is paused?
Yes. You will still receive alerts about other Places members when your Drive Detection is paused as long as you have the alerts for them turned ON.NOTE: Driving detection and behaviors will not be monitored if the device battery is about 20% or less. At that point, the current drive will be shown as having ended.

I live outside of the U.S. but my Places member lives in the U.S., will I be able to see their driving behavior? Will they be able to see mine?
Yes, you will be able to see their driving reports if they’ve enabled Drive Detection.

Can I delete my history or driving events?
At this time there is no way to delete your history—either all or part of it.
It is also not possible to delete one or all driving events.
NOTE: It is not possible to print or export driving history, behavior or records. We recommend taking screenshots of any data you wish to save outside of the app.

Why was I alerted for a false collision?

At OrbitU, your safety is our main priority. Our Crash Detection technology has analyzed thousands of crashes using phone sensor technology that has enabled us to create an algorithm that detects movement consistent with car crashes. At times, we might detect unusual movement that resembles car crash movement when you engage in activities such as skydiving or riding on a roller coaster, among others. In an effort to err on the side of caution, we’ll always choose to report events, even if they show borderline signs of being an actual crash, which might have only been caused by a dropped phone in a car or by a GPS anomaly.

In order to prevent false alerts for your Places and emergency contacts in these rare cases, you will be prompted to tell us if a false alarm has happened and if you are okay immediately after an event has been detected. Since our algorithm is always learning, the best way to help it get better is by letting us know what happened when we alerted your Places of a false collision. Please, make sure to complete the survey that we send you and to have your Drive Detection turned on in your Settings.

*Crash Detection, emergency response, and roadside assistance are only available in the U.S.

How are Driving Events tracked?

When subscribed to the Better or Best Membership, Driving Events can help families better understand their driving behaviors and take action to become better, safer drivers. Below is a list of the different events and how they're being tracked.

Hard Braking
Shown when the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop or hits the brakes aggressively. In terms of speed, this is roughly equal to braking hard enough to slow the vehicle by about 8 miles per hour or more in one second. Hard braking may be a sign of distracted driving or speeding.

Rapid Acceleration
Identifies a sudden burst of speed in a short amount of time, defined as an increase in speed of about 8 miles per hour or more in one second. Rapid acceleration can be a possible sign of reckless or distracted driving.

Phone Usage
The app determines phone usage by detecting movement of the phone including orientation change and locking or unlocking your phone while moving at a driving speed. It will not detect phone usage when the vehicle is stopped or if the phone is being used with a hands-free device. Many cars these days have hands-free Bluetooth capabilities that allow for both making and receiving calls without the driver removing their hands from the wheel or having to touch their phone at all due to steering wheel control buttons and voice-activated calling. Also, many cars will display and read out loud, incoming text messages. Because of these features, drivers are able to carry on phone conversations without being involved in what is commonly called "distracted driving", which involves the driver holding the phone in the hand, looking down at the phone to read texts, reply to texts, dial and answer a call.

For this reason, phone usage in the app is determined by handling and movement such as what would be caused by "distracted driving".

High Speed
High speed displays when the vehicle exceeds 80 mph. Over 80 mph is considered a high-risk speed. A high-speed is one that is measured for at least 30 seconds, so short bursts of speed may not be recorded in the app. At this time, the high-speed detection does not take into account the speed limit on the road that the vehicle is on at the time. We are working on providing this feature in a future update.

Top Speed
Top speed is reported at the end of a drive after all data is accumulated for the drive. At this time, we are not able to pinpoint the exact location where the highest speed was located on the map. We are working on providing this feature in a future update.

Battery Level
Driving detection and behaviors will not be monitored if the device battery is 20% or less.

What types of phone usage are being monitored?

When subscribed to the Better or Best Membership, a phone usage event will be detected if the phone is being used in a way that resembles distracted driving. This includes things such as texting, calling or using an app while driving. Using the phone during a drive but while the car is not moving, such as at a stop light, does not count as phone use.

The app determines phone usage by detecting movement of the phone.
The app does not detect an actual call or text, nor does it notice if the AUX cord is plugged in.

Many cars these days have hands-free Bluetooth capabilities that allow for both making and receiving calls without the driver removing their hands from the wheel, or having to touch their phone at all due to steering wheel control buttons and voice activated calling.

Also, many cars will display and read out loud, incoming text messages. Because of these features, drivers are able to carry on phone conversations without being involved in what is commonly called "distracted driving", which involves the driver holding the phone in the hand, looking down at the phone to read texts, reply to texts, dial and answer a call.

For this reason, phone use, in the app, is determined by movement such as what would be caused by distracted driving.

Why does the app show a really high speed that I now is incorrect?

OrbitU may occasionally display a very high speed that seems unreasonable for the conditions.

We consider the speed reported in the app to be reasonably accurate, but because of the sampling of location points, it may miss points in your trip.
This may cause the app to see a trip from point A to point B happen in a shorter period of time, thereby showing a higher speed than was actually driven.

This is not common and does not explain every high-speed event. Sometimes high speed is actually high speed.

We are always working to improve the accuracy of the app. Accuracy is determined in large part by the strength of the signal and data connection to the app. A weaker signal will produce less accurate results. We recommend always keeping Wifi turned on to increase accuracy, even when a connection to Wifi is not available.

What is the Weekly Family Driving Summary?

Located on each member’s profile is an option to view the Weekly Family Driving Summary.

This is a free feature that displays a week's worth of driving insights for everyone in your Places.

Instead of having to check each drive for events, we’ve made it incredibly easy to get a snapshot of top speed, phone usage, high speed, rapid acceleration and hard braking for each week for everyone in your Places.

For an explanation of these driving events, see the FAQ titled How are Driving Events Tracked? in this section above.

NOTE: Turning off 'Location Sharing' in the app will not prevent the Weekly Family Driving Summary from showing the member's driving history report for the week.

Can I change the unit from miles to kilometers?

There is not a feature in the app that will allow you to change the distance from kilometers to miles. Your phone will display miles or kilometers based on the phone language and region settings. Currently, only the US and UK display miles.

If your device is displaying something other than what is expected, check the language and region settings in your device.

Places - Private Maps

Can I accept an invite for someone else?

OrbitU is an opt-in app that values the security and privacy of our customers over anything else. Therefore, there is no way to remotely accept an invite for someone else.

The user that was invited must accept the invite on their own device by installing the app, creating an account, and give permission for others to locate them by joining a shared Places.

I created a Places and the app gave me an invite code - how does it work?

Invite codes make it easy to invite and connect with your closest friends and family members within the app.

When you create a Places, you are given a unique invite code for that specific Places. Be sure to only share the invite code with the people that you want to be a part of your private map and never share it publicly.

TIP! If you are currently with your family members, it may be easiest to show or tell them the code so they can type it into the app. They will be asked if they have a code right after creating their account or they can enter it in the 'Join a Places' option in the Places Switcher at the top of the map screen.

If you aren’t currently together, use your favorite messaging app to send your Places an invite code along with a special link that will direct your loved ones to the app store.

To send your invite code and special link:

Scroll to the bottom of your Places member list
Tap on 'Add a New Member'
Tap ‘Send Code’ to see a list of the messaging apps on your phone
Choose your preferred messaging app (text, email, Whatsapp, etc)
Select the contact(s) you want to invite
Send the pre-filled invite message to your contact(s)
Each person you invite will need to download the OrbitU app and create their own account NOTE: They need to use their own phone number, email address and password, not yours. Otherwise, you will both be located in the same place.

How can I add a new member to your Places:

To invite someone to join your Places:

Scroll to the bottom of your Places member list
Tap on 'Add a New Member'
Tap ‘Send Code’ to see a list of the messaging apps on your phone
Choose your preferred messaging app (text, email, Whatsapp, etc)
Select the contact(s) you want to invite
Send the pre-filled invite message to your contact(s)
Each person you invite will need to download the OrbitU app and create their own account NOTE: They need to use their own phone number, email address and password, not yours. Otherwise, you will both be located in the same place.

How do I join a Places?

Did you receive an invite code to join a Places?

This means someone you know invited you join them on OrbitU and be part of their private Places. What an honor! If you are a new OrbitU user you will be asked if you want to Join a Places and you'll be shown who's currently in it. Simply join by entering an Invite Code in the message, or by creating one of your very own. If you are an existing user, you can join a Places by tapping on the Places Switcher at the top of the screen and then tap on 'Join a Places'. Enter the code you received and you will be placed into your new Places.

What are Places?

Keep family and friends separate with Places.

Places are a way to stay connected to the most important people in your life by organizing them into private Places. We default to the Family Places, but you’ll want to create more for the other people in your life such as extended family, friends, babysitters and daycare, dog walkers, and your marathon pace team among others. There are many scenarios where Places organization comes in handy.

Keep everything in its place. Messaging, Location Sharing, and Check-Ins are all Places specific, so no one will see anything they don’t need to.

You're the boss. When you create a Places, you get to decide who is invited and who isn't. We know how important privacy is.

OrbitU paid plans cover the whole Places. Each OrbitU paid plan covers all members in your Places so everyone can enjoy the benefits of a OrbitU Membership!

To get started:

Tap on the 'Places switcher' at the top of the screen
Tap on 'Create a Places and name your new Places

How do I know if Places member stopped sharing their location?

Wondering if someone in your Places has turned off their Location sharing in their app settings? If they have, you will see a message below their name that says “Location Paused”. In order to see their location again, have them open the menu and enable location sharing with your Places.

To enable location sharing:

Tap on 'Settings'
Tap on the Places Switcher at the top of the screen and choose the Places to share location with
Tap on 'Location Sharing'
Tap on the slider to turn location sharing on

NOTE: It is not possible to prevent someone from turning off location sharing if they do not wish to be located. OrbitU is an opt-in service.

Turned off Location Services?

But what about when a Places member has turned off their Location Services?

If a Places Member has logged out or turned off location services in their phone settings, you will see that they have lost connection, showing a message such as 'Location/GPS turned off', 'No network or phone off', or 'GPS off' and may have a red exclamation '!' mark by their name.

NOTE: There are other reasons that this message and mark could be shown, such as losing connection due to poor signal, but logging out of the application or turning off location services on the device is one of the reasons.

When the Places Member logs back into the application or turns on location services, and has a strong signal, the message and "!" will no longer be shown by their name.

Can I be in two or more different Places?

Yes! You can join multiple, private Places called "Places" easily inside the OrbitU app.

You can either join a Places people to join it. Tap on the Places Switcher at the top of the screen and tap on 'Create Places' or 'Join a Places' and enter that Places invite code to join it.

How many Members can be in my Places?

Add all of your friends and family to your Places!

Please note that OrbitU runs most smoothly for Places with under 10 members. Remember, you can always add more Places.

NOTE: While there is a system limitation of 99 members in one Places, we recommend not adding more than 10 members to the same Places. By doing so the performance of the app will degrade. Location updates and overall performance will become slower, and other unexpected issues may occur.

Places, Alerts & Notifications

How do I edit a Place and Place Alerts?

When setting up Places, it is important that two or more Places do not overlap each other. If they do, it may appear that someone is in one Place when they may be in the other. If the radius of two or more Places overlap, touch each other, or are extremely close, you will receive inaccurate Place alerts.

Edit a Place and Alerts in the App:

You can edit the Place and the radius as long as you created it.

To edit a Place, follow these steps:

Tap on 'Places' at the bottom of your screen
Tap on the Place you want to edit
You can change the Place radius to a minimum of 250 feet or higher (see image #2)
You can move the map pin to adjust the location
Verify that two Places do not overlap or touch each other
Tap on 'Save'
You can turn on/off 'arrive' and 'leave' notifications by tapping on the bell to the right of the Place name in the list (see image #1)
TIP: You can edit Places in other Places by using the Places Switcher at the top of the screen

Edit a Place on the Website: www.orbitu.app

Login to https://orbitu.app/ with your OrbitU account credentials
Pick the Places using the drop down menu at the top left
Click "Places"
Click the Place you would like to edit
Click the pencil icon in the top right corner of that Place's box
Modify the address, radius, or name then click the "Save" button on the bottom to save
Verify that two Places do not overlap or touch each other

NOTE: Try to avoid making a Place radius overlap a street, or be very close to a street. If it does, members will receive a Place alert when another member simply drives past the Place radius. When this happens, it may appear that a member arrived at and left a Place quickly.

What are Places & how do I set them up?

Places are a great way to know when your loved ones are leaving work or just arrived at school. Places are areas you can define so you are alerted when a Places member enters or leaves a location. Some Places you might want to set up are work, home, and school. Free plans can set up two Places. To set up more Places, upgrade to our Better plan.

To set up Places, follow these steps:

Tap on the 'Places' button at the bottom of your screen
Tap on the '+ ADD' button near the top right of the list
Enter an address or location name directly in the box at the top. A list of suggestions will appear. Choose the one you want, or find the location on the map
To find the location in the map, tap on 'Locate on Map'
Move the map to center the pin on the location, to find the location on the map, then tap 'Next'
Choose a name for the location and tap on the + sign to add the Place
Tap on 'Turn on Notifications' to be notified when Places members arrive and leave the Place you created
Set the radius of the zone below the map. TIP! Smaller will be more accurate
Tap "Save" in the top right corner

TIP! Try not to overlap the street itself or have the Place radius close to the street. Doing this will show that you arrive and leave a Place simply by driving past it.

NOTE: When setting up Places, it is important that two or more Places do not overlap each other. If they do, it may appear that someone is in one Place when they may be in the other. If the radius of two or more Places overlap, touch each other, or are extremely close, you will receive inaccurate Place alerts.

Why did it say I arrived and left a Place quickly?

When you set up a Place, the radius may include a street or area you often drive right past instead of actually stopping at the Place itself.

For example, you may set up a school on Main Street as a Place. If the radius of the Place, the purple Places, goes over part of Main Street, then whenever you drive on Main Street past the school, the app will think you arrived at the Place and then think you left right away, when you actually just drove past it.

To prevent this from happening, try not to include the actual street in the radius of a Place, unless you do wish to be alerted when someone in your Places drives by it.

Can I have overlapping Places?

When setting up your Places, it’s important that you don’t have two or more Places overlapping each other. If they do, it may show that someone’s in one place when they’re actually at the other. If the radius of any two Places is extremely close or overlapping, overlapping Places will basically show as just one big Place.

That being said, you can edit the Place and the radius as long as you’re the one who created it.

Edit a Place:

You can edit the Place and the radius as long as you created it. To edit a Place, follow these steps:

Tap on the Places tab
Tap on the Place you want to edit
Use the slider under the map to change the radius from 250 feet to over 10,000 feet
Or, tap and hold on the map to move the pin around the radius Places
Verify that two Places do not overlap or touch each other
Tap on 'Save'

NOTE: The example below shows two common mistakes in making Places.

The two Places overlap. If you are at "Outback Steakhouse" in this far left side of the picture, Places members might get an alert saying you are at "Smiths", which is shown on the far right of the picture. This is because the two Places together cover this whole area.
The Places cover a street. This means that when you drive down the street called "W Sahara Ave" or "Durango Dr" on this map, your Places members will get an alert saying you arrived at one of these Places. Then, because you are just driving by, they will quickly receive an alert saying you left one of these Places. In reality, you do not arrive or leave, you just drove past. But because the Place includes the street, it will locate you there.

How do I turn off or change alert sounds on my Android phone?

On Android phones, you can now adjust which notification sounds you want to receive through the phone's settings, customize which sound is heard, or turn them off completely.

Follow these steps to change your notification and sounds:

Open your phone's settings
Tap on Apps
Find OrbitU
Tap on Notifications
Tap on Sound/App Provided Sound
Turn on or off sound notifications, or customize them to your liking

*On iPhones, it is not possible to change alert sounds. This is a feature the team is working on for a future release.

How can I delete a Place?

You can delete a Place as long as you created it or if you are an Admin in the Places.

To delete the Place, follow these steps:

Tap on 'Places' in the toolbar
Tap on the Place you want to delete
Tap on 'Delete Place' at the bottom of the screen
Tap on the Place you would like to delete
Tap 'Remove Place'

Can any phone, anywhere in the world, work with Places?

Places can be used anywhere in the world. For Place Alerts to work, the phone you are locating will need to be either an iPhone or Android device and have the OrbitU app installed, with an internet connection, data plan, and location sharing turned on. Keeping Wifi turned on will help improve location accuracy.

While some users were previously able to use iPads, iPods, tablets, Windows phones, and non-smartphones with our app, the latest version and technology is no longer compatible with these devices.

Device OS requirements:

Android 8 and up
Apple iOS 13 and up
Devices must have GPS, accelerometer, gravity sensor, and gyroscope to use the crash detection features.

How do I view History?

History is displayed on your Places member's profile. When you tap on a Places member's name or picture, you will see a quick view of their drive and location data. To see a more detailed history for the most recent drive or trip, tap on the small purple map icon in the lower right corner of the map. At the top of the 'Day Detail' screen, use the arrows to choose a specific date to view that day's drives or trips. Use the slider at the bottom of the screen to highlight specific locations and times during the drive or trip.

The purple dots along the path are locations where the device made a connection to OrbitU to report location.

Notes About History:

History is visible for two days on free plans. When you upgrade to Better Membership, you will immediately see 7 days of history. Best members will see 30 days of history. We do not store any history past 30 days.
If you were a former Free user who was automatically upgraded to a Better Membership, you will still have 30 days of history.
There is no way to delete any or all of a user's history other than deleting the user from the Places.
You will be able to view history in a list form by logging in to your account on the website at https://orbitu.app/
There is not a way to save or print the history list from the app or website. We suggest taking screenshots of the history to preserve them for other uses.

I purchased a Better / Best Membership plan. Why can't see the features and benefits in my membership?

We want you to have access to all the features and benefits you signed up for with your OrbitU Membership. There are a few reasons why you might not be seeing them.

One easy way to tell if the Places you are in right now has a Free, Better, or Best Membership is the star next to the name of the Places at the top of the screen.*

Tap on the Places switcher at the top of the screen.
Look for the Places that has a star next to the name of the Places.
If any of them have a membership, the name of the Places will show which membership plan it is subscribed to, for example "Better Membership", or "Best Membership"
Tap on the Places that has the membership plan to get into that Places and see the features.

If you do not see a Places with a star, but you know you purchased a membership plan, here are some reasons why:

Someone may have removed you from the Places.
You may have left the Places that has the membership plan. If so, ask a member of that Places to invite you back in.
You may be logging into a different account. Be sure to log into OrbitU with the same account you used to purchase the membership.

If you still need help, please contact our customer care team with a screenshot of the receipt for your membership purchase and we will be happy to get you connected to your membership plan again.

Note: Free, Better, and Best Memberships are currently only available in the U.S.

If no membership plan is listed, that means the Places is on the free plan.

If I have a OrbitU Membership for one Places, do I have it for all Places?

No, OrbitU Membership plans are Places specific. That means that once you upgrade to a membership plan, everybody in your Places gets to enjoy the benefits of that membership.

Also, if you have multiple Places that you want to upgrade, you’ll need to upgrade them separately.

Features

What is SOS?

All OrbitU users in the U.S. get our free SOS feature to alert your Places members and emergency contacts** when you’re feeling unsafe and need help. You can access the SOS feature by tapping on the SOS button above the menu of Places members. If you haven’t yet set a PIN for SOS, you will be prompted to complete an onboarding flow including providing a PIN to cancel an SOS. If you have set your PIN, you will be taken to a screen with a button: “Tap to send SOS”. You can press and hold this button when you feel unsafe, are about to enter a dangerous situation, or need help. When you release the button, a countdown of 10 seconds will start and an option to enter your pin will appear. If you no longer wish to send an SOS alert to your Places or emergency contacts, you can enter your PIN during the countdown to cancel the alert. Otherwise, once the countdown completes, OrbitU will notify your Places members and emergency contacts. They will receive a text and notification in the OrbitU app alerting them that you have triggered the SOS with a prompt to view your location through the app.

Even after the countdown, you have 20 minutes to open the SOS screen and enter your PIN to cancel the SOS alert before it resets. Canceling the alarm within 20 minutes will contact your Places members and emergency contacts via text and a OrbitU app notification letting them know that you are safe.

**Emergency contacts are people you would like OrbitU to contact if we detect an emergency. In order to add emergency contacts, go to the 'Safety' tab in the OrbitU app and tap on the 'Emergency Contacts' widget. Emergency contacts will not join your Places and won’t see your location unless you send an SOS. The people you designate need to accept your invitation to be an emergency contact for your Places in order to receive SOS phone calls and texts from OrbitU.

What is SOS with 24/7 Emergency Dispatch?

OrbitU's Better and Best members get all the features that come with SOS; in addition to a 24/7 Emergency Dispatch service that will be initiated once the SOS alert countdown has completed. This means that when the countdown is completed, in addition to your Places members and emergency contacts being alerted, our 24/7 Emergency Dispatch center will be notified. Rather than you having to call for help, our emergency dispatchers will call you to understand your situation and contact the appropriate authorities—such as the police or ambulance—to come and help you. They will also contact your Places members and emergency contacts by phone until someone has answered and been made aware of the situation to let them know that emergency services have been dispatched to your location.

Like with the free version of SOS, you have 20 minutes after the countdown completes to launch the SOS screen and enter your PIN to cancel the SOS alert before it resets.

If you do cancel the SOS alert during this 20 minute time period, your Places members and emergency contacts will be contacted over text and a OrbitU app notification that your SOS alert has been canceled. We will also request the appropriate authorities to cancel emergency dispatch.

For SOS I forgot my PIN, how do I change it?

To change your PIN for the SOS feature, go to 'SOS Pin Code' under 'Settings'.

Your PIN can only be changed by you and is only accessible by you. We are not able to see your PIN or change it for you.

What are Crime Reports?

The crime and offender reports feature is available in the U.S. with a OrbitU Membership.

To see the crime and offender reports:

Tap on 'Safety' at the bottom of the screen

At the top of the page, choose to view either recent 'Crimes' or 'Offenders'

Move the map to see crimes in another area and tap 'Redo Search In This Area'

Notes:

Some cities may not have crime stats available.
Crime and offender stats are not reported in real time.
Reports are added daily when they are received from the reporting agency.

What is the Check In Button?

Check In allows you to send your location instantly to every member of your Places with just the touch of a button.

To send a "Check In":

U.S. users: Tap on the 'Check In' button on the map screen
Choose a nearby place or current location that is listed
If the recommended location is not exact, enter info in the box 'Name Your Current Location'
When you check in, the members in the Places will receive a message of your location

How can I delete messages?

Deleting a message is easy.

On iOS/Apple devices:
To delete a message thread, swipe it left and press Delete
To delete a specific message inside a thread, tap and hold the message you want to delete and press Delete
On Android devices:
To delete a message thread or a specific message, tap and hold the thread or message and press Delete

8. Features of the Service

The Service includes a number of features which may or may not be available to you depending on which features you elect and, where required, pay or subscribe to use. Some of the Service features require Mobile Software to be installed on the devices that the features apply to.

A. Location Information and Driving Event Features.

Certain features of the Service are designed to collect and share location information about you and other individuals who use the Service, and to detect and monitor driving behaviors. In order for you to access and use these features, the Service collects location, sensory and motion data from your mobile device in order to share location information, calculate and detect driving behavior and driving events (such as speeding, hard braking, distracted driving, collisions, precise location history and movements of a motor vehicle), provide emergency response services, compile reports, and otherwise provide or facilitate the features and functionality of the Service. This data is collected when you are in a moving vehicle, even if you are not the driver. If you do not have permission from the driver to collect this information, please be sure to deactivate the location services, driver behavior and reporting and crash detection features. By using the location services, driver behavior and detection features in a motor vehicle, you represent and warrant that you are the driver, or that you have the consent of the driver, for Company to collect and use location, movement and driving behavior information from your device to provide the Services, and for other purposes as described in our Privacy Policy.

To work properly, these features require the corresponding Mobile Software to be installed on the device for which location and movement data will be provided, and require access to location, sensory and motion data from the smartphone or mobile device. These features may not work properly if the corresponding device permissions and settings allowing access to location, sensory and motion data are not properly configured or enabled. In addition, the features may not work for a variety of reasons, such as if the device that the Mobile Software is installed on is not powered on and connected to the wireless service provider’s network (e.g., it will not work if the phone is connected to a wi-fi network), if location services are turned off, if the Service is not being used or is blocked on the device, if you are making a phone call through the device, and for other reasons.

9. Additional Policies and Information About the Service and Service Features

This section contains additional policies and information about the Service and Service features including geographic coverage information, billing policies, and pricing and payment terms.

A. Geographic Coverage.

B. Billing Policies.

If you elect to use Subscription Features, you agree to the pricing and payment terms and that we may update them from time to time. Company may add new features for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in our sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in this Agreement.

By providing a credit card number or other payment method with advance authorization features (e.g., some PayPal accounts, or in-app payments such as from third parties like Apple or Google), you authorize Company to continue charging the payment method for all charges due Company until your account is settled and your subscription is terminated by either you or Company. Company reserves the right to limit the number of accounts that may be charged to a credit card or other payment or identification method per unique user.

ii. Payment methods.

Company accepts credit and debit cards issued through VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Company also accepts in-app payments such as from third parties like Apple or Google. Company requires that you provide the security code for your debit or credit card to help protect against the unauthorized use of your card by other persons. The security code is an individual three- or four-digit number specific to your card that may be printed on the face of your card above the embossed account number (if American Express), or on the back of your card, on the signature panel (if Visa, or MasterCard). In the event that Company is unable to charge the card you have provided (e.g., expired credit card), Company will send you a notice to update your card information. You will have a fourteen (14)-day grace period to update your billing information. If the account is not updated within the fourteen (14)-day grace period, Company will terminate your subscription.

iii. Pricing Changes

Prices for Subscription Features may change from time to time, in Company’s sole discretion. If they do, and you currently have Subscription Features, Company will provide you with notice of the change through the Service or in email to you, at Company’s option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Subscription Features after price changes become effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. If you do not agree to the new prices, please follow the instructions in the “Closing Your Account” section below. You (and not Company) are responsible for any charges or fees payable to third parties in connection with the Service, such as ambulances and other emergency responders.

D. No Refunds.

You may cancel your account at any time; however, there are no refunds for any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else. Upon cancelling any Subscription Features, your subscription will be valid until your paid period is completed.

E. Payment Information; Taxes.

All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current.

You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions.

17. Governing Law and Arbitration

A. Governing Law.

You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Company, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below.

B. Arbitration.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY. In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Company claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement of Use, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by the Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Services (“JAMS”) under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Tarrant County, Texas, unless you and Company agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to protect any of Company’s proprietary interests. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
