Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and Routeur (“Routeur,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the website at routeur.app, its subdomains, and any content, features, or services we make available through it (together, the “Site”), including the private beta waitlist described in Section 11.

By accessing or using the Site, or by submitting your email address to the waitlist, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes it.

2. Definitions

• “Terminal” means the Routeur trading terminal for prediction markets that we are developing, including any conditional-order, order-routing, replay, sandbox, data, or API functionality described or depicted on the Site.
• “Venue” means any prediction market, exchange, designated contract market, broker, or other trading platform operated by a third party, whether or not it is named, depicted, or alluded to on the Site.
• “Illustrative Content” has the meaning given in Section 6.
• “Private Beta” means any limited, invitation-only access to the Terminal that we may offer in the future, in our sole discretion, under separate terms.

3. What the Site Is, and Is Not

The Site is a marketing and informational website. Its only interactive feature is a form for joining the Private Beta waitlist.

The Terminal is not available through the Site and is not open for use. As of the date above, Routeur does not offer, operate, or provide any trading, order placement, order routing, order execution, account, custody, funding, or market-data service to any person through the Site or otherwise. The Site does not connect to any Venue, does not hold or access any Venue account, and cannot place, route, hold, or execute any order.

Nothing on the Site creates an account, a customer relationship, a brokerage or agency relationship, a fiduciary duty, or any obligation on Routeur to provide the Terminal to you at any time.

4. No Offer, Solicitation, or Advice

Nothing on the Site is, or should be read as:

• an offer to buy or sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, any contract, security, swap, commodity interest, event contract, binary option, token, or other instrument;
• an offer or solicitation to open an account with, trade on, or use any Venue;
• a recommendation, endorsement, or rating of any Venue, contract, market, event, strategy, or trade;
• investment, financial, trading, legal, tax, or accounting advice, or a substitute for advice from a qualified professional; or
• an offer of securities or an invitation to invest in Routeur.

Trading in prediction markets and event contracts involves substantial risk, including the risk of losing the entire amount placed. You are solely responsible for any decision to trade on any Venue, and for evaluating whether such trading is lawful and suitable for you.

5. No Affiliation With Any Venue

Routeur is an independent company. Routeur is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, partnered with, licensed by, or otherwise connected to any Venue, including Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood, Crypto.com, Novig, or any other prediction market or exchange, unless we expressly state otherwise in a signed written agreement.

Where the Site names, depicts, or alludes to a Venue, it does so solely to identify the third-party markets that a product such as the Terminal is intended to connect to. Any such reference is nominative and descriptive. It does not indicate, and you should not infer, that:

• any Venue has approved, reviewed, integrated with, or agreed to work with Routeur or the Terminal;
• Routeur has, or has been granted, any right to access, connect to, trade on, or redistribute data from any Venue; or
• any Venue offers, supports, or permits any feature described on the Site.

Venue names, logos, and marks are the trademarks of their respective owners. Where marks appear on the Site they are deliberately obscured and are not used as an indication of source, sponsorship, or affiliation. Generic labels such as “Venue A” and “Venue B” refer to hypothetical venues, not to any particular company.

Each Venue’s own terms of service, rulebook, and applicable law govern any access to that Venue. Nothing on the Site authorizes you to use any Venue in a manner its terms do not permit.

6. Illustrative Content and Simulated Data

All product depictions on the Site are illustrative mock-ups of a product under development (“Illustrative Content”). Illustrative Content includes, without limitation, every screen, panel, chart, order ticket, order book, price, quotation, spread, fill, position, balance, profit-or-loss figure, timestamp, latency figure, market question, contract name, settlement rule, rulebook excerpt, notice, log line, and animation shown on the Site.

Illustrative Content is fabricated for demonstration. It is not, and does not reflect:

• real, live, delayed, or historical quotations, order books, trades, or prices from any Venue;
• any actual contract listed on any Venue, or any Venue’s actual rules, fees, or settlement terms;
• the actual performance, latency, fill quality, or results of the Terminal, of Routeur, or of any user; or
• any trade, position, or outcome that has occurred or will occur.

Numbers are chosen to make the interface legible. Any resemblance between Illustrative Content and a real contract, price, or event is coincidental. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those depicted.

7. No Live or Historical Market Data

The Site does not display, distribute, redistribute, republish, or provide access to any market data, quotation, order-book, trade, or settlement information originating from any Venue, whether live, delayed, or historical. The Site does not query any Venue. Any figure on the Site that resembles market data is Illustrative Content under Section 6.

Descriptions on the Site of recorded order books, replay, or historical depth describe intended functionality of the Terminal. They are not an offer to supply, license, or redistribute any Venue’s data, and any such functionality, if offered in the future, will be subject to separate terms and to any rights, licenses, and consents that may be required.

8. Forward-Looking Statements

Statements on the Site about the Terminal and its features, including conditional orders, order routing, best-price selection, split fills, contract matching, replay and sandbox functionality, latency, APIs, venue coverage, and timing, describe what we intend or hope to build. They are forward-looking, are not commitments, and are subject to change or withdrawal without notice.

Whether, when, where, to whom, and in what form any such feature becomes available depends on factors outside our control, including regulatory approvals and registrations, Venue permissions and agreements, technical feasibility, and law. Some described features may never be offered. Nothing on the Site guarantees the availability, timing, functionality, performance, or lawfulness of any feature in any jurisdiction.

Latency figures on the Site (including any statement of “sub-50ms”) are design targets or illustrations, not measured or guaranteed performance.

9. Regulatory Status and Jurisdictions

As of the date above, Routeur is not registered with, licensed by, or a member of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Futures Association, FINRA, or any other financial regulator or self-regulatory organization, in any capacity, including as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, broker-dealer, designated contract market, swap execution facility, derivatives clearing organization, investment adviser, or commodity trading advisor. We will not offer any regulated activity unless and until any registration, license, or exemption that the law requires is in place.

Prediction markets and event contracts are regulated differently in different places and are restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions. The Site is not directed to any person in a jurisdiction where its content would be unlawful, and it is not an offer to make any product available in any jurisdiction. Access to any Venue is subject to that Venue’s eligibility rules and to the laws that apply to you. You are responsible for determining whether any activity is lawful where you are.

10. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) to use the Site or join the waitlist. You may not use the Site if you are prohibited from doing so under applicable law, including sanctions and export-control laws, or if you have previously been barred from using it by Routeur.

11. The Private Beta Waitlist

Submitting your email address adds you to a waitlist to be considered for the Private Beta. Joining the waitlist does not entitle you to anything. In particular:

• We may offer the Private Beta to some, all, or none of the people on the waitlist, in any order, at any time or never, in our sole discretion.
• Any access to the Private Beta or the Terminal will be governed by separate terms and, where the law requires, separate eligibility checks, disclosures, and agreements. Those separate terms will control over these Terms for that access.
• The waitlist is not a pre-order, reservation, deposit, subscription, membership, account, or investment, and no payment is requested or accepted.
• We may modify, suspend, or end the waitlist or the Private Beta at any time without liability to you.

You must submit only an email address that you own or are authorized to use. Submitting someone else’s address without their consent is prohibited.

12. Communications

By joining the waitlist you consent to receive emails from us about the Private Beta and related product updates. You can withdraw that consent at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism in any email we send or by writing to info@routeur.app. Withdrawing consent removes you from the waitlist. We do not sell or rent waitlist addresses.

13. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to or help anyone else to:

• use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms;
• submit false, misleading, or unauthorized information, including email addresses you do not control;
• use bots, scripts, scrapers, or other automated means to access the Site, submit forms, or collect content, other than search engines complying with our robots directives;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site, bypass rate limits or security controls, or interfere with the Site’s operation or infrastructure;
• copy, frame, mirror, or republish Illustrative Content or other Site content in a way that presents it as real market data, real performance, or as endorsed by any Venue;
• state or imply that Routeur is affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any Venue, or that the Terminal is available, when it is not; or
• remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice, or any disclaimer, on the Site.

We may investigate suspected violations and may restrict or terminate access to the Site, remove you from the waitlist, and take other lawful action.

14. Intellectual Property

The Site and all of its content, including text, copy, design, graphics, illustrations, animations, code, Illustrative Content, and the Routeur name, logo, and marks, are owned by Routeur or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited permission below, no right, title, or interest in the Site or its content is transferred to you.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to access and view the Site for your personal, non-commercial information. All other rights are reserved.

Third-party names and marks referenced on the Site belong to their respective owners, are used only to identify those third parties, and imply no relationship with Routeur (see Section 5).

15. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Site or the Terminal, you grant Routeur a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and commercialize that feedback for any purpose, without obligation or attribution to you. Do not send feedback that you consider confidential or proprietary.

16. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site is hosted and operated with the help of third-party providers, and may link to third-party websites, including Venues. We do not control third-party services or websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, terms, or practices. A link is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party service or website, including any Venue, is at your own risk and subject to that third party’s terms.

17. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information the Site collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. It forms part of these Terms.

18. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROUTEUR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, ROUTEUR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE; THAT THE TERMINAL OR ANY FEATURE WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE, OR WILL PERFORM AS DESCRIBED; THAT ANY ILLUSTRATIVE CONTENT REFLECTS ANY REAL MARKET, PRICE, OR RESULT; OR THAT TRADING ON ANY VENUE IS LAWFUL OR SUITABLE FOR YOU. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NOT RELIED ON ANY STATEMENT ON THE SITE IN MAKING ANY TRADING, INVESTMENT, OR FINANCIAL DECISION.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

19. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROUTEUR AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OPPORTUNITY, OR GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES ON ANY VENUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, ITS CONTENT, THE WAITLIST, OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROUTEUR’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, ITS CONTENT, THE WAITLIST, OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

These limitations apply to the fullest extent the law allows and do not exclude liability that cannot be excluded by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is prohibited.

20. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Routeur and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or of any third party’s rights (including a Venue’s terms), or any information you submit.

21. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States.

Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and you and Routeur consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at info@routeur.app and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND ROUTEUR EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or to stop unauthorized use of the Site.

22. Changes to the Site and These Terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time without notice or liability. We may also revise these Terms. When we do, we will post the revised Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Material changes take effect when posted, unless we say otherwise. Your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised Terms.

23. General Terms

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Routeur regarding the Site and supersede any prior understandings about it. They do not govern the Private Beta or the Terminal, which will have their own terms.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
• No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the indemnified parties in Section 20, these Terms confer no rights on any third party. In particular, no Venue is a party to or beneficiary of these Terms.
• Survival. Sections 4 through 9 and 14 through 23 survive any termination of these Terms or of your use of the Site.
• Headings. Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.

24. Contact

Questions about these Terms, notices of claimed infringement, and requests to correct any statement on the Site can be sent to info@routeur.app. If you represent a Venue and believe any content on the Site misdescribes your platform or implies a relationship that does not exist, please write to us at that address and we will review it promptly.
