Who we are
These terms are between you and Ironfang Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales (No. 12764014), C/O Burton Varley Ltd, The Counting House, 24 Richmond Road, Bowdon, Altrincham, WA14 2TT, England ("Ironfang", "we", "us"). By using this website or any Ironfang product, including Ironfang Render and Ironfang Finance (together, the "Services"), you agree to these terms.
Accounts
Your account
You need an account to use Ironfang Render or Ironfang Finance. You must provide a valid email address, keep your API keys secret, and you are responsible for all activity under your keys. We may suspend accounts that breach these terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.
Ironfang Finance eligibility
Ironfang Finance is for business use, including use by sole traders. Paid subscriptions are initially available to businesses established in the United Kingdom or European Union, where we can lawfully provide the service and process payment. By subscribing, you confirm that you are acting for a business and are authorised to accept these terms on its behalf. We may require evidence of your business status, establishment and tax details before accepting a subscription. Availability does not mean support for every country's invoice format, tax regime or submission network. Check the supported formats and rulesets before use.
VAT numbers and business verification
UK businesses do not need a VAT number to subscribe. EU businesses can use automatic checkout after their VAT number and business details have been verified. EU businesses without a VAT number can request a review in the billing portal before payment. Acceptance depends on confirming business status and the applicable tax treatment.
Plans, quotas and payment
Billing and price changes
- Plans are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically until cancelled.
- Prices may change; we will give existing subscribers at least 30 days' notice before a price change affects them.
Ironfang Render quotas
- Ironfang Render plans have a hard render quota. When it is exhausted, the API stops serving renders until the quota resets or you upgrade. We do not bill overage.
Ironfang Finance allowances
- Ironfang Finance Free includes 250 validations per UTC calendar month. Paid document plans are Build (£29 / 5,000 operations), Pro (£99 / 25,000 operations) and Platform (£299 / 100,000 operations) per month, with validation and generation. Paid allowances follow the subscription period shown in your dashboard.
- Ironfang Finance uses a hard operation allowance with no automatic overage. One completed validation counts even if it finds invoice errors; one successful generation counts once. Unfinished work reserves allowance. Retrying the same operation using its idempotency key, downloading a report or producing a PDF for that operation adds no usage. At the cap, new work waits for available allowance, renewal or an upgrade.
- Ironfang Finance preview accounts moved to Free on 14 September 2026, with 250 fresh validations until 1 October 2026, followed by 250 each UTC calendar month. Earlier preview usage is not deducted from that allowance or charged retrospectively. Account-based generation requires an explicit paid subscription. There is no automatic paid trial or conversion from Free.
Tax, plan changes and payment
- Ironfang Finance prices are in GBP and include applicable tax. Stripe displays the tax breakdown and amount due before you confirm. You must provide accurate business and billing details, including a tax ID where applicable. Your bank or card provider may apply its own currency conversion or fees.
- Ironfang Finance upgrades are invoiced immediately with proration; downgrades and normal cancellation take effect at the end of the current period. Changing a paid plan does not reset usage in that period. Payment failure may suspend new operations; saved results remain accessible within their retention period.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details. Ironfang Finance subscriptions, payment details and invoice history are managed separately from other Ironfang products through Ironfang Finance billing in the portal.
Your content
Content you submit for rendering
You retain all rights to content you submit for rendering and to the output. You grant us the limited licence needed to process, cache and deliver renders. You are responsible for having the rights to any URL or HTML you submit.
Ironfang Finance documents
For Ironfang Finance, you retain your rights in submitted invoices and generated documents. You grant us the limited licence needed to validate, generate, store and deliver the documents and results you request. You are responsible for the accuracy of invoice information, your right to submit it, and any disclosures or permissions required for personal data it contains. Data handling is described in our Privacy Policy.
What a validation result means
Ironfang Finance checks documents against the selected, supported ruleset. A passing result is not tax or legal advice and does not establish compliance with every rule that may apply to your business. Document validation or generation does not itself submit an invoice to a tax authority or deliver it through Peppol. You remain responsible for review, record keeping and any required submission or delivery.
Availability
We publish live service status and work to maintain high availability. Unless agreed separately in writing, the Services are provided "as is" without a guaranteed service level. We may perform maintenance with reasonable notice where practical.
Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. Otherwise, our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the amount you paid us in that period, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits or data.
Cancellation and termination
You can cancel at any time from your dashboard; your plan runs to the end of the paid period. See our Refunds & Cancellation policy for refund terms. We may terminate accounts for material breach of these terms.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For material changes we will email account holders at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use after that date is acceptance.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law gives you additional rights.
