Terms of Service

1. AI Output Disclaimer

GrantEngine uses artificial intelligence to assist with drafting grant applications. All AI-generated content is provided as suggestions only. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all content before submitting it to any funding organization.

GrantEngine does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or success of any application. AI-generated text may contain errors, omissions, or content that does not reflect your organization accurately. You must treat all AI output as a starting draft that requires your professional judgment and review.

2. Funder Compliance

You are solely responsible for complying with all requirements set by funding organizations, including any restrictions on the use of AI-assisted applications. Some funders (for example, NIH under NOT-OD-25-132) impose specific rules regarding AI-generated content in applications.

GrantEngine provides tools to assist the application process but does not represent or warrant that AI-generated content meets the specific requirements of any funder. It is your responsibility to verify compliance with each funder's policies before submitting.

3. No Guarantee of Results

Purchase of an application through GrantEngine does not guarantee grant approval. Grant decisions are made solely by the funding organization. GrantEngine has no influence over or insight into funder decision-making processes.

4. Liability Cap

GrantEngine's total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the platform is limited to the amount you paid for the specific application in question. Under no circumstances shall our liability exceed the per-application fee paid. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

5. Refund Policy

GrantEngine does not offer cash refunds. If a technical failure on GrantEngine's part prevents the completion of a purchased application, a platform credit will be issued for use on a future application.

No credits or refunds will be provided for grant rejection, user error, or dissatisfaction with AI-generated suggestions.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Palavir and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of AI-generated content in grant applications, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any funder requirements.

7. Data Use

GrantEngine does not use your application content to train AI models. Your data is stored securely and used only to provide the service. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

8. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of all content you provide to GrantEngine, including your organization profile, application inputs, and any edits you make to generated content. AI-generated suggestions become your property upon generation.

The GrantEngine platform, including its design, code, scoring algorithms, and branding, remains the property of Palavir.

9. Account Termination

Palavir reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for misuse of the platform, violation of these Terms, or any activity that we reasonably believe is harmful to the platform or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the platform ceases immediately.

10. Modifications to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of GrantEngine after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
