Terms of Service

Last updated: 14 April 2026

1. The Service

VanRoutes ("we", "our", "the service") provides route checking and restriction information for drivers in the United Kingdom. The service is provided via vanroutes.com and related domains.

2. Planning Aid — Not Navigation

VanRoutes is a planning aid, not a substitute for driver judgement or road signage. Our restriction data is compiled from multiple sources including TfL, OpenStreetMap, and local authority records. While we strive for accuracy, data may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect.

You must always check physical road signage before proceeding. A "clear" result from VanRoutes does not guarantee the absence of restrictions. You drive at your own risk.

3. No Liability for Fines or Damage

VanRoutes accepts no liability for fines, penalties, vehicle damage, personal injury, or any other loss arising from reliance on information provided by the service. You are solely responsible for compliance with all road signs, traffic orders, and regulations.

4. Vehicle Data

Vehicle information is sourced from the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service and may be supplemented by third-party data. Vehicle dimensions shown are estimates and may not reflect modifications, roof racks, loads, or other alterations to your vehicle. Always verify dimensions before relying on them.

5. User Reports

Users may submit reports about missing or incorrect restrictions. By submitting a report, you grant VanRoutes a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use that information to improve the service.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) use the service for any unlawful purpose; (b) attempt to overload, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the service; (c) scrape or bulk-download data from the service; (d) misrepresent information submitted through the service.

7. Availability

We aim to keep the service available 24/7 but do not guarantee uptime. The service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or due to circumstances beyond our control.

8. Changes

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
