When engaging our consulting services, you are responsible for providing accurate and complete information relevant to the scope of work. Delays or inaccuracies in the information you supply may affect the timeliness and quality of our deliverables.

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, icons, page layout, and underlying code — is the intellectual property of Ironbridens or its licensors. This content is protected under applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and international treaties.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content of this website for personal or internal business reference.

Consulting deliverables produced as part of a paid engagement become the intellectual property of the client upon full payment, unless otherwise specified in the service agreement.

6. Payment Terms

Fees for our consulting services are outlined in individual proposals or service agreements. All fees are quoted in New Taiwan Dollar (TWD) unless otherwise specified. Payment terms, including deposit requirements, installment schedules, and due dates, are detailed in each engagement's contract.

Late payments may be subject to a monthly interest charge as permitted under Taiwanese law. We reserve the right to suspend work on any engagement where payment is overdue by more than 30 days.

Refund eligibility depends on the stage of the engagement and is governed by the specific terms of the applicable service agreement. General website inquiries do not involve any financial obligation.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties acknowledge that confidential information may be shared during the course of an engagement. Each party agrees to hold such information in confidence and not to disclose it to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, except as required by law.

Confidentiality obligations survive the termination or expiration of any engagement and remain in effect for a period of two years following the conclusion of services, unless a different duration is specified in the service agreement.

8. Disclaimers

Our website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

The consulting advice and analysis we provide are based on our professional judgment and the information available at the time of the engagement. We do not warrant that our recommendations will produce specific business outcomes, financial results, or competitive advantages. All business decisions remain the sole responsibility of the client.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, or investment advice. Clients should consult appropriate professionals for decisions in those domains.

To the fullest extent permitted by Taiwanese law, Ironbridens shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website or services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability for any claims arising from or related to a specific consulting engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for that particular engagement. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ironbridens and its directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the website or services, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

11. Termination

We may restrict or terminate your access to our website at any time, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.

Either party may terminate a consulting engagement as specified in the applicable service agreement. Upon termination, all outstanding fees for work completed remain due and payable. Provisions regarding confidentiality, intellectual property, limitation of liability, and indemnification survive termination.

12. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from circumstances beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, pandemics, civil unrest, infrastructure failure, or interruptions to internet or telecommunications services. Affected timelines will be adjusted proportionally where possible.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
