2. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective date” above indicates when these Terms were last updated. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.

3. Privacy

Your use of the Site and Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy. Please review the Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, and share information.

4. Services; informational purposes only

Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes. While we aim to provide helpful information about grant writing and related topics, the Site does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. You should consult qualified professionals for advice specific to your situation.

5. No guarantee of outcomes

Grant funding decisions are made by third-party funders. We do not guarantee that any grant application, proposal, or related work will result in funding or any particular outcome.

6. Client engagements; separate agreement

If you purchase services from us, the scope, fees, deliverables, and terms of that engagement will be governed by a separate written agreement (for example, a proposal, statement of work, or client services agreement). If there is a conflict between that agreement and these Terms, the engagement agreement controls for the services you purchased.

7. Intellectual property

Our content

The Site and Services, including text, graphics, logos, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for your personal or internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, perform, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise exploit any part of the Site or Services except as expressly permitted by us in writing.

10. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RIS TO THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

13. Governing law; venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we choose to discontinue the Site or Services. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including Intellectual property, Disclaimers, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, and Governing law).

15. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and any referenced policies (including the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and Services, except for any separate written engagement agreement.
  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
