These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of governmentgrant.com (the "Site"), operated by Information Services Inc. ("Information Services Inc.", "we", "our", or "us"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
Important: We are not the government and we cannot get you a grant
Please read this section carefully before relying on anything else on the Site.
GovernmentGrant.com is a private, independently-operated informational website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States government, the Government of Canada, or any federal, state, provincial, or local government agency. The use of the words "government" and "grant" in our domain name reflects the subject matter we write about; it does not signal any official status.
We do not award grants. We do not process grant applications. We do not submit grant applications on your behalf. We do not guarantee that any reader will receive a grant. We do not charge fees for information that is available for free from the government.
Official US federal grant information and applications are available for free at Grants.gov. Official Canadian federal grant information is available at Canada.ca. State, provincial, and local grants are administered by the respective government agencies.
If anyone — including a website that looks like ours, an email that appears to come from us, or a phone caller claiming to represent us — asks you to pay a fee, provide a Social Security Number or Social Insurance Number, provide bank account details, or send money in order to "secure", "release", or "guarantee" a grant, it is a scam. Do not respond. Report it to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov (US) or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at antifraudcentre.ca (Canada), and let us know at infoservicesinc@gmail.com.

You may use the Site for your own personal, non-commercial informational purposes. You agree not to:
Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law. Use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers other than standard search engine crawlers) to access the Site, except as permitted by our robots.txt file. Copy, redistribute, sell, or republish substantial portions of the content on the Site without our prior written permission.

Advertising
The Site is funded by display advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertisements served on the Site by Google or other ad networks are selected by those networks based on factors we do not control. The presence of an advertisement on the Site is not an endorsement by us of the advertiser, its products, or its services.
Be especially cautious of advertisements that promise guaranteed grant approval, charge fees to fill out grant applications, or ask for sensitive personal information up front. We are not responsible for the conduct of any advertiser. If you believe an advertiser is engaged in fraud or deceptive practices, report it to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at antifraudcentre.ca, and let us know so we can attempt to block the advertiser.
Third-party links and services
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including government grant portals and other informational resources. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, products, or services of any third party. Your interactions with any third-party website or service are governed by that party's own terms and policies. You access third-party sites at your own risk.

The Site and all content on it are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, and non-infringement.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses; that any grant program, eligibility criterion, deadline, dollar amount, or other information on the Site is accurate, current, or complete; that any reader who applies for a grant will receive a grant; or that the Site will meet your specific needs.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the disclaimers in this section apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Information Services Inc., its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, savings, data, business, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any content on it, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event will our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site exceed one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100).
These limitations apply whether the claim is based on contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Severability and entire agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
