Terms of Use

Last updated: October 31, 2026

These terms apply to your use of ThistleOrbit at thistleorbit.com (the “Site”). By using the Site you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Educational information only

The tools, guides and other content are provided for general educational purposes. Tool results are estimates or screening aids based on published guidance and the information you enter. Nothing on the Site is medical, legal or insurance advice, and using the Site does not create a doctor–patient or other professional relationship. Please read our Medical Disclaimer.

2. No government affiliation

ThistleOrbit is an independent website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of any government agency.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to disrupt it, access it by automated means that place an unreasonable load on it, copy substantial parts of its content for republication, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

4. Intellectual property

The Site’s text, design, logo, code and tools are owned by ThistleOrbit and protected by copyright and other laws. You may print or share links to pages for personal, non-commercial use. Government and professional publications we cite remain the property of their sources.

5. Accuracy and changes

We work to keep figures accurate and current, but rules change and errors can happen. We may update, change or remove any content or calculator at any time without notice. If you find an error, please tell us.

6. Third-party links and advertising

The Site links to third-party websites and displays advertising served by third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, products or practices. An advertisement is not an endorsement.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, and ThistleOrbit is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Site or its content. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where ThistleOrbit is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless the law of your place of residence requires otherwise.

9. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The “Last updated” date shows the latest version. Continued use of the Site means you accept the revised terms.
