Electronic Signature and Consent Agreement
1. Scope of Consent
By using any electronic system operated by or on behalf of Ironborne Industries LLC ("Ironborne," "we," "us," or "our"), a Texas limited liability company and subsidiary of Wyoming Holding LLC, you agree to the following:
- Receiving documents electronically. All documents related to your relationship with Ironborne -- including Operating Agreements, Non-Disclosure Agreements, safety waivers, tax documents, distribution notices, employment agreements, and policy updates -- may be delivered to you through electronic means.
- Signing documents electronically. You consent to applying your electronic signature to documents presented through our platform, with the same legal effect as a handwritten signature on paper.
- Conducting transactions electronically. Business transactions, approvals, acknowledgments, and authorizations may be completed through electronic processes.
- Receiving legally binding notices via electronic means. Formal notices -- including legal notices, policy changes, and compliance communications -- may be sent to your email address on file and are considered received upon delivery.
2. Definitions
"Electronic Signature" means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record. This includes, but is not limited to, typed names in signature fields, click-to-sign actions, checkbox acknowledgments, and email confirmations.
"Electronic Record" means any record created, stored, generated, received, or communicated by electronic means, including documents in PDF format, web-based forms, database entries, and email correspondence.
"Parties" means all individuals and entities interacting with Ironborne Industries LLC through electronic means, including but not limited to: investors, workers, administrators, contractors, and the Managing Principal of Ironborne Industries LLC.
"Platform" means any website, portal, application, or electronic system operated by or on behalf of Ironborne Industries for the purpose of document delivery, signature collection, or transaction processing.
3. Consent to Electronic Signatures
You agree that your electronic signature carries the same legal weight and enforceability as a wet-ink signature on a physical document. Federal law (the E-SIGN Act) and Texas law (the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act) both confirm that a signature cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is in electronic form.
Types of Electronic Signatures
Ironborne Industries uses the following methods to collect electronic signatures:
| Method | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Typed Name | You type your full legal name into a designated signature field on a document |
| Click-to-Sign | You click a clearly labeled "Sign" or "I Agree" button after reviewing document contents |
| Checkbox Acknowledgment | You check a box next to a statement confirming you have read and agree to terms |
| Email Confirmation | You reply to an email with explicit language confirming your agreement (e.g., "I agree to the terms") |
Each of these methods creates a legally binding agreement. Our system logs the date, time, IP address, and method of each electronic signature for verification and audit purposes.
4. Consent to Electronic Delivery
You agree that Ironborne Industries may deliver all documents to you electronically. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Operating Agreement and any amendments or restated versions
- Non-Disclosure, Non-Compete, and Non-Circumvention Agreement
- Safety waivers and medical disclosure forms
- NFC Timekeeping and Access Control Consent
- Employee confidentiality agreements
- Investor K-1 tax documents and annual tax reporting
- Monthly and quarterly distribution statements
- Notices of 5x auto-exit trigger and related calculations

- Any other document related to your relationship with Ironborne Industries
Electronic delivery may occur via email, through our web portal, or through a third-party document management platform authorized by Ironborne Industries.
5. Hardware and Software Requirements
To access, review, sign, and retain electronic documents delivered by Ironborne Industries, you need the following:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Internet Access | A device with a stable internet connection (computer, tablet, or smartphone) |
| Web Browser | A current version or one prior version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge |
| A valid, actively monitored email address | |
| PDF Viewer | Software capable of opening and displaying PDF files (e.g., Adobe Reader, browser built-in viewer) |
| Storage | Sufficient local or cloud storage to download and retain copies of all documents you sign or receive |
If your hardware or software does not meet these requirements, you may not be able to access electronic documents. Contact legal@ironborne.us if you need assistance or alternative arrangements.
6. Right to Paper Copies
You have the right to receive a paper copy of any document that we deliver to you electronically. To request a paper copy:
- Send a written request to legal@ironborne.us identifying the specific document(s) you need.
- We will prepare and mail paper copies to your address on file within 15 business days of receiving your request.
- There is no fee for paper copies. We cover printing and postage costs.
Requesting paper copies does not revoke your consent to electronic delivery. Future documents will continue to be delivered electronically unless you formally withdraw your e-sign consent under Section 7.
7. Right to Withdraw Consent
You may withdraw your consent to electronic signatures and electronic delivery at any time. To withdraw, send a written notice to legal@ironborne.us stating that you wish to revoke your e-sign consent.
Effects of Withdrawal
- Prior signatures remain valid. Withdrawing your consent does not retroactively affect the legal validity or enforceability of any document you previously signed electronically.
- Portal access may be limited. Certain features of our electronic portal require e-sign consent to function. Withdrawal may result in reduced access to the platform.
- Paper processes substituted. After withdrawal, all documents will be delivered and signed via paper. This may result in processing delays.
Role-Specific Impacts
- Workers: Because NFC timekeeping and certain employment processes operate electronically, withdrawal may require alternative work arrangements. We will discuss options with you and make reasonable accommodations where possible.
- Investors: All investment documents, K-1 forms, distribution statements, and notices will be mailed to your physical address. Delivery timelines will be longer than electronic delivery.
8. Updating Your Contact Information
You are responsible for keeping your email address and contact information current with Ironborne Industries. If your email address changes:
- Notify us within 5 business days of the change by emailing legal@ironborne.us from either your old or new email address.
- Include your full name, your old email address, and your new email address.
- Until we receive and process your update, documents sent to your last known email address are considered delivered.
If you fail to maintain a current email address on file, you may miss time-sensitive documents, notices, or deadlines. Ironborne Industries is not responsible for delays or consequences resulting from an outdated email address.
9. Federal and State Compliance
This Electronic Signature and Consent Agreement complies with the following laws and regulations:
Federal E-SIGN Act
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. 7001-7006) establishes that electronic signatures and electronic records may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because they are in electronic form. This consent is provided in accordance with E-SIGN's requirements for consumer consent to electronic records.
Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA)
Texas Business and Commerce Code, Chapter 322 adopts the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Under Texas UETA, if a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies that requirement. If a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies that requirement. This agreement operates within the framework established by Texas UETA.
Securities Regulations
For investors receiving securities offering materials, subscription agreements, and ongoing investment communications: electronic delivery of these documents complies with SEC Rule 17a-4 record retention requirements and applicable securities regulations governing electronic delivery of offering materials and investor communications.
Employment Regulations
For workers receiving employment-related documents electronically: this consent complies with U.S. Department of Labor electronic disclosure safe harbor provisions, including requirements for voluntary and informed consent, ability to access documents, and right to request paper copies.
10. Record Retention

We strongly recommend that you download and save copies of every document you sign or receive electronically. While we maintain our own records, having your own copies protects you in the event of any dispute or system interruption.
11. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Electronic Signature and Consent Agreement -- including disputes about the validity, enforceability, or formation of any electronically signed document -- will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in El Paso County, Texas, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to prevent irreparable harm.
