User Agreement

IronNexus is a software platform intended to assist companies and users with the organization, communication, storage, viewing, markup, tracking, scheduling, and management of project information relating to structural steel projects.

IronNexus is a software tool only.

IronNexus does not provide engineering, architectural, detailing, fabrication, erection, construction, safety, inspection, code-compliance, legal, accounting, or other professional services.

Use of IronNexus does not replace the professional judgment, review, verification, or responsibilities of the parties involved in a project.

You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying information before relying upon it for detailing, purchasing, fabrication, shipping, erection, construction, or any other purpose.

This includes, without limitation:

• drawings and drawing revisions;
• dimensions;
• quantities;
• material sizes and grades;
• piece marks and assembly information;
• bills of material and cut lists;
• nesting and material optimization information;
• fabrication and erection information;
• schedules and delivery dates;
• project statuses;
• markups, comments, stamps and signatures;
• uploaded files and documents; and
• information generated, calculated, imported, displayed or organized by IronNexus.

Software errors, incorrect source data, import errors, user errors, data-conversion errors, system failures or other issues may result in incorrect information.

You agree that information produced or displayed by IronNexus must be independently reviewed when its accuracy could affect fabrication, purchasing, erection, construction, safety, cost, schedule, contractual obligations, or other material project decisions.

You understand and accept the risks associated with using software in connection with construction and structural steel operations.

You assume responsibility for decisions made using information accessed, entered, imported, calculated, generated, displayed or stored through IronNexus.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate quality-control, checking and verification procedures within your organization.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activity occurring through your account.

You may not share an individual user account with unauthorized persons or attempt to circumvent user, seat, subscription, permission or security restrictions.

Your organization is responsible for determining which individuals are authorized to access its projects and information.

You retain ownership of project files, drawings, models, documents, photographs, information and other content that you or your organization upload to IronNexus ("Customer Data").

You grant IronNexus the limited right to host, process, transmit, reproduce and display Customer Data as necessary to operate and provide the Service.

You represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary to upload and use Customer Data within IronNexus.

IronNexus and its software, source code, object code, interfaces, designs, workflows, graphics, logos, database structures, algorithms, functionality, documentation and other proprietary technology are owned by or licensed to IronNexus and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except for the limited right to use the Service under this Agreement, no ownership rights are transferred to you.

You may not, except where applicable law expressly provides otherwise:

• copy or reproduce IronNexus software or proprietary functionality;
• modify or create unauthorized derivative works of IronNexus;
• reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to discover source code or proprietary methods;
• scrape, extract or systematically reproduce proprietary portions of the Service;
• bypass or attempt to bypass security or access controls;
• use IronNexus to build or assist in building a substantially competing product through unauthorized copying of proprietary software or content;
• sell, sublicense or provide unauthorized access to the Service; or
• remove proprietary notices or branding.

IronNexus will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the availability and security of the Service, but continuous or error-free operation is not guaranteed.

Service interruptions may result from maintenance, software defects, internet outages, infrastructure providers, third-party services, cyber incidents, force majeure events, or circumstances outside IronNexus's reasonable control.

Users should maintain appropriate records and backups of business-critical information in accordance with their own risk-management requirements.

IronNexus may depend upon third-party infrastructure and services for hosting, payment processing, authentication, communications, storage, or other functionality.

IronNexus is not responsible for failures or interruptions caused solely by third-party systems outside its reasonable control.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IRONNEXUS IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

IRONNEXUS DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AVAILABILITY AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION TO THE EXTENT SUCH WARRANTIES MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IRONNEXUS AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST PRODUCTION, LOST BUSINESS, PROJECT DELAYS, REWORK, MATERIAL LOSS, FABRICATION ERRORS, ERECTION ERRORS OR LOSS OF DATA ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO USE OF THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IRONNEXUS'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY THE CUSTOMER TO IRONNEXUS DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Nothing in this Agreement limits liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

To the extent permitted by law, you and your organization agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless IronNexus and its owners, officers, employees and affiliates from third-party claims arising from your misuse of the Service, violation of this Agreement, violation of another party's rights, unauthorized Customer Data, or decisions made based upon information that your organization was responsible for reviewing or verifying.

You agree not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to IronNexus, another customer's information, administrative functions, servers, databases or other restricted systems.

Suspected unauthorized access or security vulnerabilities should be reported promptly to IronNexus.

IronNexus may suspend or terminate access for nonpayment, security threats, illegal activity, violation of this Agreement, abuse of the Service, attempts to circumvent account restrictions, or conduct that materially threatens IronNexus or its customers.

IronNexus may improve, modify or discontinue features as the Service evolves.

This Agreement may also be updated from time to time.

When a material change requires renewed acceptance, users may be required to accept the updated Agreement before continuing to use IronNexus.

By selecting "I Accept," you agree that your electronic acceptance has the same effect as a handwritten signature to the extent permitted by applicable law.

IronNexus may maintain records identifying the accepted Agreement version, user, company, date and time of acceptance.
