3.2 Registration Obligations
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are responsible for safeguarding the password and any other credentials used to access your account.
3.3 Account Security
You must immediately notify Ironborne at legal@ironborne.us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized that activity.
We reserve the right to disable any account at any time if, in our sole judgment, you have violated any provision of these Terms or if your account poses a security risk.
4. Investor-Specific Terms
The following terms apply specifically to users with Investor accounts, in addition to all other provisions of these Terms.
4.1 Accredited Investor Representations
By creating an Investor account and accessing investment-related materials, you represent and warrant that you are an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. You agree to provide documentation supporting your accredited status upon request and to promptly notify Ironborne if your accredited investor status changes.
4.2 Securities Exemption Disclosures
Any investment interests offered through the Ironborne platform are offered in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, specifically Regulation D, Rule 506(b) and/or Rule 506(c), as applicable. These offerings:
- Are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or any state securities regulatory authority.
- Do not constitute a public offering of securities.
- Are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale as set forth in the applicable offering documents.
- Have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any state securities commission, nor has any such authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of any offering materials.
4.3 Auto-Exit Mechanism
You acknowledge and agree that certain investment structures offered by Ironborne may include an automatic exit mechanism triggered upon achievement of a 5x return multiple on your original capital contribution (the "5x Auto-Exit"). The specific terms, calculation methodology, and timeline for any auto-exit mechanism are governed by the applicable operating agreement, subscription agreement, or offering memorandum executed in connection with your investment. Nothing in these Terms modifies or supersedes those documents.
4.4 Non-Disclosure Requirement
Access to detailed production data, financial projections, operational processes, and proprietary business information through the Investor Portal requires execution of a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement ("NDA"). Until the NDA is fully executed, your access may be limited to summary-level information. You agree to abide by the terms of any NDA executed in connection with your investment.
4.5 No Guarantee of Returns
Important: All investments carry risk, including the risk of total loss of capital. Past production data, revenue figures, and projected returns displayed on the Investor Portal are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee, promise, or prediction of future results. Projections are forward-looking statements subject to significant uncertainty. You should not invest any funds that you cannot afford to lose entirely.
5. Worker-Specific Terms
The following terms apply specifically to users with Worker accounts, in addition to all other provisions of these Terms.
5.1 Employment Relationship
Your engagement with Ironborne Industries LLC is at-will, meaning either party may terminate the relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment contract for a definite term. The specific terms of your engagement are governed by your employment agreement or contractor agreement, as applicable.
5.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Compliance
You acknowledge that foundry and iron extraction operations involve inherently hazardous conditions. You agree to comply with all PPE requirements, safety protocols, and operational procedures established by Ironborne and applicable regulatory authorities, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Failure to comply with safety requirements may result in immediate removal from the worksite and termination of your engagement.
5.3 NFC Timekeeping Consent
Ironborne uses NFC (Near Field Communication) keychain lanyards for employee time tracking and facility access. As a condition of your engagement, you consent to the use of NFC-based timekeeping, which records check-in and check-out timestamps and your proximity to NFC readers located within the facility. This data is used for payroll processing, attendance tracking, safety compliance, and emergency roll call purposes.
For additional details regarding how NFC proximity data is collected, used, and retained, see our Privacy Policy and Biometric Information Privacy Policy.
5.4 Medical Implant Disclosure
Due to the presence of high-powered electromagnetic equipment on-site, you are required to disclose any medical implants, devices, or conditions that may be affected by electromagnetic fields. This includes, but is not limited to, cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, insulin pumps, cochlear implants, and metallic orthopedic implants. Failure to disclose relevant medical information may result in serious injury and will be considered a material breach of your employment terms.
5.5 OSHA Compliance
Ironborne is committed to providing a safe and healthful workplace in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) and applicable Texas state occupational safety requirements. You agree to participate in all required safety training, report unsafe conditions promptly, and cooperate fully with any safety investigations or audits.
