Terms of Service

SaaS (Software as a Service)

Under the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement (“Agreement”), Routify agrees to provide you (“User”) access to its software platform, as described and accessible online at routify.ca , on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis. These Terms of Service—together with Routify’s Privacy Policy, any executed service agreements, and all referenced policies—form a legally binding contract between Routify and the User, subject to updates as needed.

Licensing Terms

2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Routify grants the User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use the Software as a Service via the internet. This license is provided solely for the User’s internal business operations and in compliance with this Agreement.

2.2 The User is prohibited from, either directly or indirectly: attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise uncover the source code or underlying structure, ideas, or algorithms of the software; modifying, translating, or creating derivative works based on the Software as a Service; transferring, leasing, renting, selling, sublicensing, assigning, or otherwise redistributing access rights to the software; removing or altering any proprietary notices; or publishing or sharing evaluations or benchmarks of the software without prior written consent from Routify.

Fees

3.1 In accordance with this Agreement and any applicable contract documentation, the User agrees to pay all fees due to Routify. All fees are non-refundable and non-cancelable. Routify reserves the right to restrict or suspend access to the Software as a Service and related support services at its reasonable discretion in the event of non-payment.

3.2 Routify reserves the right to modify its pricing at any time. Unless otherwise stated in a signed contract, all subscription fees for the Software as a Service are subject to an automatic 10% increase at the beginning of each renewal term. Users will receive notification at least 30 days prior to any such price adjustments. These changes will not affect current subscription pricing but will apply to renewals starting at least 30 days after notice is given.

3.2.1 For ongoing subscription terms, the number of licenses outlined in any signed agreement reflects the minimum contractual commitment. Routify reserves the right to invoice and charge based on actual usage, including the number of drivers, dispatchers, users, or subscriptions tied to your account.

3.3 By agreeing to these Terms of Service, the User acknowledges that the Software as a Service currently meets their business requirements. Any newly discovered needs or preferences do not constitute grounds for early termination or fee exemption. If additional features are required outside the existing scope of the software, the User may request a custom development contract from Routify, which may include applicable charges. Alternatively, the User may submit a feature request through the support system at no cost, with the understanding that Routify retains full discretion over whether and when to implement such features. The decision to accept or decline any feature requests does not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights

4.1 The User acknowledges that Routify retains full ownership of all copyrights, intellectual property rights, titles, and interests associated with the Software as a Service and the Routify website. This includes any updates, enhancements, modifications, or additions made to the software, regardless of the nature or origin of the changes.

4.1.1 Users may not assert ownership over, commercialize, or distribute any part of the Software as a Service—including new features, enhancements, or derivative works—regardless of whether such developments were created solely by Routify, in collaboration with the User, or based on the User’s input or request.

4.1.2 A violation of this clause may result in immediate termination of this Agreement without refund and may expose the User to additional legal actions, including injunctive relief and claims for financial damages.

Third-Party Software Rights and Use as SaaS

Routify does not authorize the use of third-party software in conjunction with its Software as a Service unless explicitly stated in the product documentation or formally requested in writing by the User and approved by Routify. The cost of the Software as a Service does not cover third-party tools or software unless clearly specified.

If third-party software is approved and integrated at the User’s request, the responsibility for its performance lies with the User and the third-party provider. The User acknowledges that Routify bears no responsibility or liability for the functionality, performance, or any business impact resulting from the integration of such third-party software.
