Terms of Use

Important terms, limitations, and disclaimers for using PermitPath.

Last Updated: October 3, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PermitPath mobile application and related services (collectively, "the App"). PermitPath is owned solely by STL Apps LLC. In these Terms, "we," "us," and "our" mean STL Apps LLC, and "PermitPath" refers to the App and related services operated by STL Apps LLC. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.

These Terms are provided for general informational purposes and do not constitute legal advice. Your use of the App does not create any attorney–client relationship between you and STL Apps LLC. If you have questions about your legal rights or obligations, you should consult with a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.

Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle information, including optional accounts, location, maps, and subscriptions.

Read this before you navigate. PermitPath is a software tool. It is not your permit, not an official route, and not a government service. A route in the App can be wrong even when the App calls it official, imported, or from TxPROS. The App can glitch. You must compare the route on the screen to your official permit before you start navigation, and you must not follow the App where they do not match. You use the App at your own risk.

Ownership

STL Apps LLC is the sole owner of PermitPath, including the App, the website at permitpathnav.com, the PermitPath name and branding, and all associated software, content, features, and intellectual property, except for third-party materials licensed to STL Apps LLC. No other person or entity has any ownership interest in PermitPath.

1. Acceptance of Terms

Your use of the App constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to these Terms, including any additional terms and policies referenced in or incorporated by these Terms (such as our Privacy Policy). If you use the App on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity, and "you" includes both you as an individual and that entity.

2. License to Use

Subject to your ongoing compliance with these Terms, STL Apps LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on a compatible mobile device that you own or control for your own internal business or personal use. We reserve all rights in and to the App not expressly granted to you under these Terms.

3. Accounts, Free Tier, and Access

You may use core features of the App—including map browsing, route planning within free-tier limits, turn-by-turn navigation, local saved routes, and in-app purchases—without creating a PermitPath account. Creating an account is optional and available for users who want account-related features (such as profile support or account management).

The free tier allows limited route planning (for example, up to four middle waypoints in addition to start and end, as shown in the App). A paid subscription may unlock higher limits and additional paid features as described in the App at the time of purchase. Free-tier limits and paid benefits may change; the App displays the current offer.

If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity under your account. You may delete your account from Settings in the App when signed in. Deleting your PermitPath account does not automatically cancel an Apple or Google subscription; you must manage billing through your store account settings.

4. PermitPath Is Only a Tool

PermitPath is a routing and navigation tool owned by STL Apps LLC. It is not a permit, a permit office, a government agency, a state transportation department, or TxPROS. STL Apps LLC does not issue, approve, amend, or guarantee any oversize, overweight, or other permit, and it does not decide which roads you are legally allowed to use.

Nothing in the App is an official route. That includes every line on the map, every turn instruction, every spoken prompt, every distance, every pin, and every label. Words such as "official," "official route," "official permit route," "permitted route," "imported," "TxPROS," or any similar wording mean only that the App tried to read or draw a path from a file, code, or data source you or a third party provided. Those words do not mean the State, a permit office, or STL Apps LLC has certified that the path on your screen is legal, complete, current, or the same as your permit.

An import from a PDF, a photo, a barcode, a QR code, a state file, or a system such as TxPROS can miss a road, add a road, put a turn in the wrong place, drop part of the route, or read the document wrong. A route you build yourself in the App is also only a drawing in the software. Editing pins, splicing a line, or letting the App rebuild any part of a path can change it. What you see after any of that is still the App's output, not the official permit.

5. The App Can Be Wrong

The App is software. It can glitch, crash, freeze, lag, point the wrong way, speak the wrong turn, skip a turn, stay silent, lose GPS, follow the wrong road, show you on the route when you are not, or draw a line that does not match the permit. Maps, GPS, phones, trucks, and third-party data can all be wrong. A previous trip that looked right does not mean the next one is right.

You accept that these failures can happen and that STL Apps LLC does not promise to detect or warn you about every one of them. If the App does anything you do not trust, stop using it for that trip.

6. You Must Check the Official Permit Before Navigation

Before you start navigation, you must compare the entire route in the App with the official permit for that move. The official permit is the permit issued for your load by the government authority that issued it, as shown on the permit document or in that authority's own system. The App is not that document and is not that system.

You must check the roads, the direction of travel, the turns, the restrictions, and any condition written on the permit. If the App does not match the official permit, you must not follow the App. You must keep the official permit with you and keep checking it during the trip. Signs, flaggers, closures, and officers control the road even when the App says otherwise.

YOU MUST NOT START NAVIGATION, AND YOU MUST NOT FOLLOW A ROUTE IN THE APP, UNTIL YOU HAVE PERSONALLY CHECKED IT AGAINST THE OFFICIAL PERMIT. IF YOU DO NOT CHECK, YOU ARE CHOOSING TO DRIVE WITHOUT THAT COMPARISON, AT YOUR OWN RISK.

7. User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for how you use the App and for verifying all routes, permits, regulations, road conditions, restrictions, and legal requirements before and during travel. The App is a routing tool and is not a substitute for your professional judgment or for reviewing official permit documents, traffic control devices, and applicable laws.

You agree that you will:

  • Comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and permit conditions in every jurisdiction where you operate
  • Obey all posted traffic signs, road closures, weight limits, height restrictions, and other road rules
  • Use the App in a manner that is safe and does not distract you while operating a vehicle
  • Stop using the App immediately if a suggested route appears unsafe, illegal, or inconsistent with your permits

8. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the App for any unlawful or prohibited purpose, or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the App or interfere with others' use of the App. Without limitation, you agree not to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except as expressly permitted by law
  • Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the App
  • Use the App to develop a competing product or service, or to copy any features, functions, or graphics
  • Use the App in any way that violates the rights of PermitPath or any third party, including intellectual property rights

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STL APPS LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

  • The App will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted
  • Any routes, maps, or navigation data provided by the App will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your specific load, permits, or vehicle, including a route described as official or imported from a permit or from TxPROS
  • The App will match your official permit
  • Defects, glitches, or errors in the App will be corrected

10. Assumption of Risk

You know that driving, and especially moving an oversize or overweight load, can cause crashes, injury, death, fines, permit violations, delays, and property damage. You know the App can contribute to those outcomes if it is wrong or if you follow it without checking the official permit. You voluntarily assume all of that risk when you download, open, plan with, or navigate with the App.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STL APPS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, DEVELOPERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we are not liable for any damages, losses, or claims arising out of or related to:

  • Incorrect routing, wrong directions, skipped or wrong turn callouts, a pointer aimed the wrong way, or any other navigation error or glitch
  • A route, including one labeled official or imported from a permit, PDF, QR code, barcode, or TxPROS, that does not match the official permit
  • Accidents, collisions, vehicle damage, cargo damage, personal injury, or death
  • Permit violations, regulatory violations, fines, or penalties
  • Delays, missed deliveries, lost revenue, or other business impacts
  • Your decision to follow the App without comparing it to the official permit, or to keep following it after it does not match

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Where the law allows a claim to proceed, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid STL Apps LLC, if any, for the App in the twelve (12) months before the claim. If you paid nothing, that cap is zero.

12. Release

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release and discharge STL Apps LLC and its members, managers, developers, employees, agents, and affiliates from every claim, demand, and cause of action arising out of your use of the App, a route shown in the App, navigation, a glitch, or a difference between the App and your official permit. This includes claims for injury, death, property damage, fines, and lost business, whether or not we were told they might happen.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you also agree not to sue STL Apps LLC or those people for those claims. If a court finds that a particular claim cannot legally be released, the rest of this section still applies, and any remaining claim is limited by the section above.

Some states do not allow a release of certain harm, including in some cases gross negligence or intentional misconduct. This section applies to the fullest extent the law of your state allows, and no further.

13. Routing Accuracy Disclaimer

The App is a planning tool and should be used as one of several resources when planning and executing oversize and permit-based routes. Routes, waypoints, and navigation instructions may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated, and may not reflect current road conditions, closures, detours, construction, height or weight restrictions, or permit requirements. A label that a route is official does not change this section.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ALL ROUTES, PERMITS, RESTRICTIONS, AND ROAD CONDITIONS BEFORE AND DURING TRAVEL. YOU MUST NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE APP WHEN SAFETY, LEGAL COMPLIANCE, OR PERMIT COMPLIANCE ARE AT STAKE.

14. Third-Party Services

The App may use or rely on third-party services, including mapping and directions providers (such as Mapbox), optional account/backend providers (such as Supabase), app stores, and operating system services. We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or performance. Your use of third-party services may be subject to the separate terms and privacy policies of those third parties.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless STL Apps LLC and its members, developers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use or misuse of the App
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or permit requirement
  • Any routing errors, navigation errors, glitches, accidents, or incidents involving your vehicle, load, or permits, including your failure to compare the App to the official permit before or during navigation

16. Intellectual Property

The App and all associated content, features, functionality, trademarks, service marks, and logos are owned solely by STL Apps LLC, or are licensed to STL Apps LLC, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works based on the App except as expressly permitted by these Terms or with our prior written consent. STL Apps LLC is the sole owner of PermitPath. No other person or entity has any ownership interest in the App or these materials.

17. Changes to the App and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time, with or without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws that apply in the jurisdiction where STL Apps LLC is organized or primarily operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the App will be brought exclusively in the courts located in that jurisdiction, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

19. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.

20. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

Certain features of the App may be offered as in-app purchases or auto-renewing subscriptions (for example, a monthly subscription). Prices, length of subscription, free-tier limits, and available products are displayed within the App and may vary by region, currency, or platform. All purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), and your billing relationship is primarily with those platforms.

By starting a subscription, you authorize Apple or Google to charge the subscription fee (and any applicable taxes) to the payment method associated with your account, in accordance with their terms. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID or Google account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings.

We do not control, and are not responsible for, how Apple or Google handles billing, refunds, or disputes. Any refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple or Google, and will be handled under their respective policies and applicable law.

Links to our Privacy Policy and these Terms are available in the App (including on the subscription screen and in Settings).
