Terms of Use

IronLock · Last updated September 17, 2026

1. What this service does

IronLock lets a business owner authorize a one-time, read-only transfer of standard accounting reports from their QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop company to the Springdale Industries acquisitions team. It is provided by Springdale Industries LLC (“Springdale Industries”, “we”) for use by businesses we are already in discussions with. It is not a general-purpose product, and there is no account to create, subscription to buy, or fee to pay.

Shield Technology Partners, LLC is an affiliate of Springdale Industries LLC, which operates this service.

2. Who may use it

By connecting a QuickBooks company, you confirm that you are authorized to share that company financial information with us. If you are not, do not connect. Connect only the company you intend to share; QuickBooks Online lets you choose which company to authorize, and QuickBooks Desktop connects the company file that is open when you complete setup.

By connecting, you also confirm that you are authorized to disclose the information contained in the reports, including any personal information relating to your customers, vendors, or employees, and that such disclosure is consistent with your own privacy notices and applicable law.

3. Read-only access

The service reads reports. It cannot create, modify, or delete anything in your QuickBooks company. Neither QuickBooks Online nor the QuickBooks Web Connector offers a view-only permission level, so their authorization screens will describe broader access than the service uses; the read-only limitation is enforced by how the software is built, and is described in our Privacy Notice.

4. Duration of access

Access is intended to last only as long as the transfer takes. The authorization is revoked automatically once your reports are delivered, and in all cases the connection and stored report are removed no later than 7 days after the transfer. You may disconnect at any time from within QuickBooks or, for QuickBooks Desktop, from the QuickBooks Web Connector.

5. Confidentiality

Springdale Industries treats the information you share through this service as confidential and uses it solely to evaluate a potential transaction with your business, subject to any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement between us. The service providers named in our Privacy Notice process your information only to operate the service.

6. Accuracy

The service transfers reports as QuickBooks produces them. It does not audit, verify, adjust, or interpret your financial records, and the transfer is not an accounting, tax, valuation, or assurance service. You remain responsible for the accuracy of your own books.

7. Availability

The service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, and may be unavailable, interrupted, or discontinued at any time. If a transfer fails, nothing is lost on your side; you can simply use your link again. For QuickBooks Desktop, the transfer requires QuickBooks to remain open with the correct company file on the computer where you completed setup until we confirm delivery; if it is closed, we will let the person who sent you the link know so you can try again.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Springdale Industries is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of this service. Nothing in these terms limits either party obligations under a confidentiality agreement between us.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. The version in effect is the one published here at the time you authorize a connection, with the date shown above.
