Iron.io Terms of Service

As a user of Iron.io, you agree to the following terms and conditions and any policies or amendments that may be presented to you from time to time (collectively, the "Terms").

  • 1. Use of Iron.io Services

    Iron.io, Inc. ("Iron.io") provides cloud application services to you in the form of IronMQ, IronWorker, IronCache, and other services that may from time to time be offered, provided that you are of legal age and standing to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction.

    In order to access Iron.io services, you may be required to provide current and accurate identification, including a valid email address, and other information as part of the registration process or use of Iron.io services.

    You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account and password, and are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. Iron.io cannot and will not be liable for your failure to comply with this security obligation.

  • 2. Appropriate Conduct

    You agree that you are responsible for the conduct of the message, task, and other service activity ("Service Activity") that you manage, run, and/or operate through or via the use of Iron.io services and such conduct shall be only for purposes that are legal, proper and in accordance with the provisions of the Iron.io Applicable Use Policy, which is included here by reference.

    You agree to immediately discontinue any use of Iron.io Services that violates the Acceptable Use Policy. Iron.io reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to take actions necessary to discontinue, disable, or otherwise take-down any use of Iron.io Services that do not adhere to the Application Use Policy. You further acknowledge that you are solely responsible for maintaining and backing up any data, code, or applications that Iron.io Services may access or interact with.

    You agree that you will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts Iron.io Services or servers or networks connected to Iron.io Services and that you will access Iron.io Services only through the interfaces and commands generally made available by Iron.io Services unless otherwise provided for under a separate agreement.

    Users outside of the United States agree to comply with their own local rules regarding online conduct, including laws regulating the export of data to and from the United States or your country of residence.

  • 3. Billing Policies

    • A valid credit card is required for paying accounts (and may be required for additional free monthly resources).
    • Billing will be on a monthly basis and is non-refundable, unless otherwise noted on the Pricing policies for Iron.io Services.
    • Monthly-based subscriptions will be billed at the end of the month.
      • Any upgrade or downgrade in plan level will be charged at the new rate in the month in which the change is made. Certain discounts may be applied if a plan is selected after the beginning of the month for that month to accommodate partial resource usage.
      • Resource usage above plan amounts will be factored into the most current plan at the time of billing. (By way of explanation, any resource amounts over plan under a previous plan will be wrapped into the resource amounts under the new plan in the month the change is made.)
      • Resource usage that extends beyond the plan amount will be billed at "pay as you go rates" on a usage-based basis. Additional resource rates are listed on the Pricing page for each service. Note that you can limit service usage to a plan amount on a service-by-service basis via settings in the Plans section of your Account page.
      • Downgrading a subscription plan may cause the loss of features or diminished capacity of your account. Iron.io does not accept any liability for such loss.
    • Usage-based plans, if offered, will be billed by resource usage as applicable for each Service. Charges are solely based on Iron.io's measurements of your usage, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
    • All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes.
    • Any outstanding balance becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of the Terms for any reason. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). You are responsible for paying all reasonable expenses and attorneys fees Iron.io incurs collecting late amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) you waive all claims relating to charges unless claimed within 60 days after the charge (this does not affect your credit card issuer rights) and (2) refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Iron.io and shall be in the form of credit for Iron.io Services.
    • Iron.io may change its fees and payment policies for the Services at any time. In the event such changes might have a monetary effect on paying customers, Iron.io will notify affected customers at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the billing cycle in which such change will take effect. Changes to the fees or payment policies will be posted on the website for Iron.io Services.
