DeutschTerms of use
Exo-View (exo-view.com) is run by Daniel Noam Tuby (imtuby.com), in Israel (“we”). By using it you agree to these terms; if you do not, please do not use it. How we handle your data is on the privacy page.
The service
Exo-View is a free, interactive atlas of the galaxy, the solar system and the countries of Earth. We may change, pause or end any part of it, including accounts and saved indexes, at any time.
Accounts
- You must be 13 or over to have an account. Where the law sets a higher age for agreeing to these terms on your own, a parent must agree for you.
- An account is for one person. You are responsible for what is done with it, so keep your email and Google account secure.
- You can delete your account at any time (see the privacy page). We may suspend or delete an account that breaks these terms.
Using it fairly
Do not try to get into other people's accounts or into our systems; do not overload or disrupt the site; do not use the sign-in form to send emails to people who did not ask for them, or sign in by automated means; and do not use Exo-View to break the law.
The figures and the maps
- We work to make Exo-View accurate, but we do not guarantee it. Country figures come from the sources named beside them and run one or more years behind; distances and positions in space are measured or worked out, and what is drawn rather than measured is marked as such.
- Rankings and indexes reflect the weights you choose. They are not professional, financial or political advice.
- Borders and country names follow the data sources, with one exception: Exo-View draws Israel whole, and does not list the World Bank's “West Bank and Gaza” separately. Israel's figures remain the World Bank's own.
Content and licences
The site's design, code and text belong to Daniel Noam Tuby. Data from others keeps its own licence, named where it appears: among them World Bank Open Data (CC BY 4.0), Natural Earth (public domain), the HYG star database (CC BY-SA 4.0) and the IANA time zone list (public domain), from which each country's zone for the clock is taken. The photographs and article extracts on a city's or an airport's plate come from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, each under the licence and with the author shown beside it. The Space Station's place is worked out from orbital elements published by NORAD; its 3D model, and those of the probes and telescopes and of the satellites, were made for Exo-View. The places of the satellites that are up and working come from NORAD orbital elements distributed by CelesTrak, with the owner and the launch date from its satellite catalogue (SATCAT). The probes and telescopes' places come from NASA/JPL Horizons (public domain) and from NORAD orbital elements distributed by CelesTrak, taken ahead of time and shipped with the site. The country flags are from the country-flag-icons set (MIT). The typefaces, Barlow, Chakra Petch, IBM Plex Mono, IBM Plex Sans Hebrew and Rubik, are under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and are served from this site. The indexes you save are yours; you allow us to store them and show them to you. Anyone you send a link to an index can see it.
No warranty, and limits on liability
Exo-View is free and provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we give no warranties and are not liable for any loss arising from using the site or relying on it, including the loss of saved indexes. The Space Station's position, and the times and heights of its passes, and the places, distances and speeds shown for probes, telescopes and satellites, are worked out for interest and are approximate; do not rely on them for navigation, safety or any decision that matters. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law does not allow to be limited.
Changes
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will say so on the site before it takes effect; using Exo-View after that means you accept it. The date at the top is the last change.
Law and courts
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, and the competent courts in Israel have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about them. This does not take away any protection that the law of the country where you live gives you and that cannot be waived.
