Agreement to Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you," or "your") and Ironbooks Financial Ltd. ("Ironbooks," "we," "our," or "us"), a company incorporated in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada, with its principal place of business in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Ironbooks website (ironbooks.com), the Ironbooks software platform, dashboards, AI tools, and all related services (collectively, the "Services").
