Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Grantio service (the “Service”). The Service is provided by Grantio, Inc. (“Grantio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a company based in the United States. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

Effective as of Apr 15, 2026

Arbitration notice for U.S. residents

Except for certain disputes described in Section 18, you agree that disputes between you and Grantio will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration rather than in court, and you waive any right to participate in a class action. Please read Section 18 carefully.

1. The Service

The Service includes our websites, hosted software, APIs, integrations we make available, and related support and documentation, as updated from time to time. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service; where material, we will provide notice as described in these Terms or in-product.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You may not create an account or access the Service using bots or other automated means except as we expressly permit (for example, documented APIs).

If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes you and that organization. Your organization’s administrator may control access to workspaces, data, and features in line with its subscription or settings.

You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@grantio.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, Grantio grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service during your subscription or trial, solely for your internal business or professional purposes and in accordance with our documentation.

Except as allowed by applicable law, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service or reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except to the extent restrictions are prohibited by law.

4. Acceptable use

You will use the Service only in compliance with applicable law and these Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, you will not, and will not encourage or assist anyone else to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of export, sanctions, or anti-corruption laws.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service, underlying networks, or security (including by transmitting malware, overloading infrastructure, or probing or scanning without authorization).
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or non-public areas or data (including personal data of others without a lawful basis).
  • Circumvent technological measures we or our providers use to protect the Service or data.
  • Upload or share content that is fraudulent, defamatory, harassing, hateful, violent, obscene, or that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
  • Use the Service to send unsolicited bulk communications in violation of anti-spam laws.

We may investigate suspected violations and cooperate with law enforcement. We may remove or disable access to content we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful, without prior notice where reasonably necessary.

5. Your content

You may submit content to the Service (for example: grant opportunities, applications, documents, notes, and reporting artifacts) (“Your Content”). You retain ownership of Your Content. You grant Grantio a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and create reasonable technical copies of Your Content solely to provide, secure, and improve the Service and as described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit Your Content and to grant the license above, and that Your Content and your use of the Service do not violate law or third-party rights. You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of Your Content and for compliance with obligations you owe to third parties (including funders and employers).

6. Grantio intellectual property

The Service, including software, visual design, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by Grantio or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you. You may not remove or alter proprietary notices on the Service.

7. Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Service (“Feedback”), you grant Grantio an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use Feedback for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you, subject to our Privacy Policy where Feedback contains personal data.

8. Copyright policy

We respect intellectual property rights. Our Copyright & DMCA policy describes how to submit DMCA notices, identifies our designated agent, and explains our repeat infringer approach. Notices must comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

9. Privacy and data processing

Our collection and use of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. When you use the Service on behalf of an organization, our Data Processing Addendum may apply to our processing of personal data on your organization’s behalf.

10. Third party services and links

The Service may integrate with or link to third-party services, sites, or data sources. Third parties are governed by their own terms and policies. Grantio does not control and is not responsible for third-party services or content. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk.

11. Third party funding opportunity data

The Service may include a grants database that references opportunities, awards, and related information from third party sources (for example, public funders and portals). We provide these listings to help you discover and organize opportunities.

  • Source of truth. The official funder posting is the source of truth. Eligibility, deadlines, and terms may change without notice.
  • No endorsement. Listings do not imply endorsement by any third party funder, government, or portal.
  • Restricted sources policy. Some sources may be treated as “restricted sources,” in which case we display link-only or limited factual metadata and direct you to the source for full details. We may update how we ingest, store, or display source data to comply with applicable terms, licenses, and laws.
  • Attribution. Where practical, we may display a small “Source” attribution on listings and detail pages and link you to the official record.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or to protect the Service, users, or third parties. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution) survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GRANTIO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY LISTING OR RECOMMENDATION IS COMPLETE OR ACCURATE, OR THAT APPLYING FOR ANY OPPORTUNITY WILL RESULT IN FUNDING.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GRANTIO AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF GRANTIO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GRANTIO’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO GRANTIO FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100) IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO GRANTIO IN THAT PERIOD. THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS DOES NOT ENLARGE THIS CAP.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, Grantio’s liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grantio and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or law, or (c) your violation of third-party rights.

16. Export and sanctions

You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or person subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions or export restrictions, and that you will comply with applicable U.S. export laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Service.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, by email or in-product notice). The updated Terms will apply prospectively. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service. Continued use after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance.

18. Governing law; arbitration; class action waiver

18.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would require application of another jurisdiction’s laws. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions below.

18.2 Mandatory arbitration

Except as set forth in Section 18.4, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Section 18. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org. A party who intends to arbitrate must submit a written demand to the AAA and notify the other party as specified in the AAA rules.

Arbitration will be conducted in English. Unless you and Grantio agree otherwise, arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you reside. If you are outside the United States, arbitration may be conducted remotely or in Delaware as the AAA rules and arbitrator allow.

Payment of filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA rules; we will not seek to recover those fees from you unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous.

18.3 Class action waiver

YOU AND GRANTIO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Grantio agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 18’s arbitration provisions may be void (except Section 18.1).

18.4 Exceptions

Either party may seek relief in small claims court for disputes within that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property or confidentiality rights (without limiting the arbitrator’s authority to award damages for intellectual property claims where applicable).

18.5 Court jurisdiction

If a Dispute is not subject to arbitration under this Section 18, or if the arbitration agreement is held not to apply, you and Grantio consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue there, except that Grantio may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with policies referenced herein (including the Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the DPA), constitute the entire agreement between you and Grantio regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on the same subject. Our Service & subscription terms page summarizes how paid access relates to these documents and does not replace the Terms. If you have a separate signed agreement with Grantio for the Service, that agreement controls to the extent it conflicts with these Terms.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Grantio’s prior written consent. Grantio may assign these Terms without restriction.
  • Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
  • No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of future enforcement.
  • Notices to you. We may provide notices by email, in-product messaging, or by posting on the Service.
