TERMS

Terms of the road

Last updated November 11, 2026

Route 8080 (route8080.com) is run by [your legal name or company], in [city, province], Canada (“we”). By buying gas or using the site you agree to these terms. They’re short on purpose. Questions: road@route8080.com.

What you’re buying

• Gas buys time on a roadside sign: $1 a month, from $3. A month is 30 days. Prices are in US dollars. You rent a spot; you don’t own the mile.
• Every purchase is a one-time payment. There’s no subscription, nothing renews, and nothing to cancel.
• Your sign stays lit while its tank has gas. When the gas runs out, the sign goes dark and the mile goes back to Vacancy for anyone to rent. We email you before that happens.
• Anyone can add gas to a lit sign (“Fill their tank”). Gas added by someone else is a gift to that sign; it doesn’t give them any control over it.

Approval

A human checks every new sign against the road rules. When you pay, we only hold the amount on your card. We take the payment when we approve the sign. If we don’t approve it, or don’t get to it before the hold expires, we release the hold and you aren’t charged. We can refuse any sign, and we don’t have to say more than a short reason.

Your content

• You’re responsible for what your sign says and links to, and you confirm you have the right to use its name and logo.
• You let us show your sign’s name, pitch, logo and link on Route 8080, on its share image and badge, and in posts about the road (for example a weekly “road report” on social media).
• We can fix obvious typos, and we can take a sign down if it breaks the rules or its link stops working. Refunds are covered in the refund policy.

What we don’t promise

We work to keep the road up and fast, but we can’t promise any number of visitors, clicks or sales, or that the site will never be down. The counts on the road (drivers, honks, drive-bys) are real, but they’re estimates, not audited figures.

Limits

As far as the law allows, our total responsibility to you for anything to do with Route 8080 is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem. We aren’t responsible for indirect losses, such as lost profits.

Changes

We may update these terms. If we change something important, we’ll post it here with a new date. Gas you already bought keeps the terms it was bought under.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of [province] and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.

Still to fill: your legal name or company, city and province. Still open: whether you must charge sales tax (GST/HST); once your accountant answers, say “prices include any taxes we must charge” or add tax at checkout. Have an accountant or lawyer glance at the limits section if you can.
