Hello, all, first post and I'm a student.

Thanks in advance.

Clearance Delivery:
"VFR On-Top, Cleared direct (Intersection) via radar vectors. If not VFR by 4,000, maintain 4,000 and report to departure. Departure on xxx.x...."

No departure instructions received from tower with take-off clearance.

Contacted departure once clear of the airport and climbing. Received positive radar contact but no vector. VFR conditions all the way up.

Are we cleared to turn direct to our point? And can we climb past 4,000 to a VFR cruise altitude without requesting if from ATC?
