Legal

Terms of Service

The terms that govern your use of the Routeplane gateway, self-hosted or managed.

Draft — this is a baseline template, not legal advice. Review with qualified legal counsel before relying on it. Bracketed values such as [Legal entity name] and [jurisdiction] are placeholders that must be completed for your entity and venue.

Effective date: 2026-07-10. Applies to the Routeplane gateway, the managed service, and the open-source (Apache-2.0) core.

Acceptance

By accessing or using Routeplane — the hosted gateway, the managed service, or the open-source core — you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and any organization you represent. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

The service

Routeplane is a neutral, multi-provider, OpenAI-compatible AI gateway. It routes your requests to the LLM providers you choose, with sovereign data-residency routing, deterministic PII/secret redaction, and a tamper-evident audit ledger. It is offered both as a managed service and as an open-source core you can self-host. The managed service is currently in private beta and is provided “as is” while it matures.

Your provider keys, spend, and compliance

Routeplane does not resell model capacity. You supply your own provider API keys, you are responsible for the spend incurred against them, and you are responsible for complying with each provider’s terms of service and acceptable-use policy for the traffic you route through Routeplane. You are likewise responsible for the lawfulness of the data you send and for obtaining any consents your use requires.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use Routeplane to break the law, to infringe others’ rights, to attempt to circumvent a provider’s controls, to route data you are not permitted to process, or to attack, overload, or reverse-engineer the service beyond what the open-source license permits. We may suspend access that puts the service, other users, or a provider relationship at risk.

Open-source core

The Routeplane core is licensed under Apache-2.0. Your use of that code is governed by the license text, not by these Terms; nothing here narrows the rights the license grants you. Enterprise features distributed separately may carry their own terms.

No warranty

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any provider you route to will perform as you expect.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Routeplane and [Legal entity name] will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or provider charges, arising from your use of the service. Our aggregate liability is limited as set out in your agreement with us (or, absent one, to the amount you paid us for the service in the three months before the claim).

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction — e.g. India], and disputes are subject to the courts of that venue, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
