You acknowledge that you have knowingly authorized this purchase and agree that all charges are valid and recognized by you.

4. User Activity Logging

GrantWatch logs user activity including login history, grant views, search activity, IP addresses, and timestamped interactions. These logs may be used in fraud prevention, customer support, or to provide evidence in billing disputes or chargebacks. These measures are designed to comply with payment network requirements, including Visa CE 3.0 and related fraud prevention protocols.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use GrantWatch.com solely for lawful purposes. Misuse of the website, including unauthorized distribution, scraping, or sharing of content, may result in account suspension or termination.

GrantWatch.com is intended for human users accessing via a standard web browser. Automated access, including scripts, bots, or data scraping tools, is prohibited. Users must avoid placing excessive demands on our infrastructure. We do not offer or authorize any API access to our data or platform.

Single-User subscriptions are for individual use only, to search for grants relevant to the subscriber's organization, business, or personal needs. Grant listings and data may not be copied, shared, distributed, or used for commercial purposes outside of internal use. Subscriptions may not be sold or transferred; however, GrantWatch will assist in reassigning accounts due to staff changes.

To protect our platform and users, GrantWatch employs trust and safety tools that may temporarily suspend accounts exhibiting unusual activity. Unauthorized data extraction and sharing login credentials are strictly prohibited.

Repeated misuse or failure to respond to inquiries may result in long-term suspension or permanent termination without refund. Users are encouraged to contact support for assistance with targeted grant searches.

6. Geographic Access Restrictions

Access to GrantWatch is intended solely for users located within the United States, its territories and possessions, Canada, and Israel. Users located outside of these jurisdictions may experience limited or no access to the Service. While the use of virtual private networks (VPNs) or similar technologies may enable continued access from restricted locations, such usage is at the user's sole discretion and risk.

Alternatively, users temporarily located outside of the aforementioned jurisdictions may request a temporary suspension of their subscription by contacting Customer Support at support@GrantWatch.com. Approval of such suspension requests shall be granted at the sole discretion of GrantWatch.

7. Permitted Use and Termination

GrantWatch, Inc. reserves the right to suspend or terminate user access to all or part of the service at its sole discretion for reasons including, but not limited to, misuse of data, use of multiple VPNs, unauthorized distribution, scraping, data extraction, or violation of account terms.

Users may appeal a termination by contacting support@GrantWatch.com to request a Verification of Acceptable Use form, which must be completed and returned within 7 days. Accounts found to be used for unauthorized grant distribution will be suspended indefinitely.

8. Fraud Prevention and Chargebacks

Submitting a false claim of fraud or initiating an illegitimate chargeback is a violation of these Terms. Any user found abusing the chargeback process may have their account permanently suspended, access revoked, and be reported to payment processors, fraud databases, and relevant authorities. GrantWatch reserves the right to provide access logs, transaction data, and these signed Terms in any dispute or chargeback case.

9. Review Archives Before Purchase

GrantWatch does not offer a traditional free trial. However, users may create a free account to explore certain areas of the platform at no cost. No credit card is required to create a free Member account. Free access (Member) is limited and does not include full platform functionality, access to complete grant listings, or access to premium features and tools. GrantWatch free 'Members' are also provided with access to a selection of expired grant listings in its Archives, allowing prospective users to evaluate the platform before purchasing a subscription (MemberPlus+).

To view the Archives, you must first register for a free membership. We strongly encourage you to explore the layout, format, and structure of our grant and funding opportunity listings through the Archives prior to making a purchase. This allows you to understand the value of the platform and determine whether it suits your needs.

10. Subscription Plans and Billing

Subscriptions must be paid in full before access is granted. GrantWatch.com offers multiple subscription plans that provide access to our database of grant listings and related resources. Available options include Weekly ($22 for 7 days), Monthly ($49 for 30 days), Quarterly ($100 for 90 days), and Annual ($249 for 365 days) subscriptions. All plans are billed in U.S. dollars.

Plans automatically renew unless canceled prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, you expressly authorize GrantWatch, Inc. to charge your selected payment method at the beginning of each subscription term. This recurring billing will continue unless and until you cancel or your subscription is otherwise suspended or terminated.

Your registered email address will serve as your username, and you will be prompted to create a password during checkout. Upon successful payment, your account will be upgraded to a MemberPlus+ account. If subscription details are not immediately visible, it is recommended that you log out and log back in to refresh your session. Should you believe that an incorrect email address was submitted during registration, you must promptly contact support@grantwatch.com for assistance.

11. Renewal Program

By submitting payment, you acknowledge and consent to GrantWatch, Inc. deducting funds from your selected payment method at the start of each subscription cycle, in accordance with your chosen plan. At checkout, you will be required to acknowledge that you understand and agree to this automatic renewal and recurring billing policy. This recurring billing continues until you cancel. To avoid charges for the next subscription period, you must cancel before your next renewal date. Cancellations made on or after the renewal date do not prevent the renewal charge and may not entitle you to a refund for that billing period.

The recurring nature of the billing is clearly disclosed prior to purchase, and confirmation is sent via email upon successful enrollment. You may manage or cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your MemberPlus+ account, selecting 'My Dashboard' and navigating to 'My Account Settings' and clicking "Click to Cancel My Plan." Alternatively, you can email support@grantwatch.com to request cancellation. Please consult the Cancellations Policy for further details.

In the event that a recurring payment cannot be processed, GrantWatch's payment processors, including Stripe and PayPal, will automatically retry the charge. These retry attempts may occur multiple times over a specified period in accordance with the payment processor's standard retry schedule.

If a payment is successfully processed during a retry attempt, this does not retroactively reset your subscription, and a late payment will not change your regular renewal schedule. Future billing dates will  remain as originally scheduled, and prior failed payments will not postpone or delay subsequent charges. Access to your account will be extended based on the date of the successful retry attempt.

A payment may fail for various reasons, including but not limited to insufficient funds, expired or invalid cards, or account restrictions or security blocks imposed by your financial institution. By completing a purchase and agreeing to the Terms of Service, you authorize these automated retry attempts as part of the recurring billing process.

If payment remains unsuccessful after all retry attempts have been exhausted, your account will be canceled until valid payment information is provided. You may update your payment method at any time through your MemberPlus+ account. Alternatively, you may stop the automatic retry attempts by canceling your GrantWatch subscription.

Payment Retries (Processing Policy). If a payment attempt fails, our payment processor may automatically retry the charge according to our processor's standard retry schedule. By completing a purchase or activating a subscription, you authorize these automated retry attempts. Our payment processor may retry the payment several times within a short period or over multiple days, depending on the reason for the failed charge.

If all retry attempts are unsuccessful, your access to the service may be paused or canceled until a valid payment method is provided. You may update your payment information at any time through your account settings.

12. Non-Tangible Goods and Digital Delivery

By purchasing a subscription, you are gaining access to a digital information service. No physical product will be shipped. Access is delivered immediately upon successful payment. Due to the nature of digital goods, refunds are limited and strictly governed by our Refund Policy.

Grant opportunities are continuously updated and added as they become available. Due to the dynamic nature of funding cycles, GrantWatch cannot guarantee the availability of specific grants at any time and is not responsible for refunds or exchanges based on the availability of grants.

13. Email Confirmations and Delivery

A confirmation email summarizing your subscription plan, terms, and refund policy will be sent upon registration. It is your responsibility to review and retain this email for your records.

Upon successful payment, you will receive a confirmation email at your registered address. If payment was made with PayPal, this confirmation email will be delivered to your PayPal email address. If not received, check your spam, junk, or promotions folders. It is your responsibility to ensure that GrantWatch emails are not blocked or filtered. Email confirmations serve as proof of service initiation.

14. Cancellations

To prevent charges for the subsequent billing cycle, cancellation must be completed before the renewal date of the next subscription term.

You may cancel your subscription at any time. When you cancel any complimentary tokens will be removed from your account. Purchased tokens will remain. The purchase of tokens is non-refundable as

After your subscription is canceled, you will continue to have access to your MemberPlus+ benefits until the end of your current subscription period. Your subscription will not renew unless you purchase a new subscription. Your subscription will not renew unless you purchase a new subscription using your existing email address.

To cancel your subscription, log into your MemberPlus+ account, select 'My Dashboard', navigate to 'My Account Settings', click "Click to Cancel My Plan," and confirm the cancellation. You may refresh the page to verify that your subscription has been cancelled.

Cancellation requests submitted by email to support@grantwatch.com must include the email associated and registered with the MemberPlus+ account. Such requests are not considered effective unless you receive confirmation or acknowledgement from our support team. We retain logs of all cancellation attempts for verification purposes.

No refunds will be provided for any unused portion of the subscription term. Please consult the Refund Policy for further details.

15. Refund Policy

Refunds are issued only under specific circumstances as outlined in our Refund Policy. It is your responsibility to read and understand the policy before subscribing.

Subscriptions are non-refundable except where otherwise required by law. GrantWatch is a digital platform providing immediate access to proprietary grant listings and tools; therefore, refunds will not be issued for partial use, missed cancellations, or user dissatisfaction unless a verifiable platform error has occurred.

An exception applies to Quarterly ($100.00) and Annual ($249.00) subscriptions. Users may be eligible for a partial refund provided if no grants have been viewed since the payment date, as verified by the user's 'My Grant Views' page. In such cases, a fee of $49.00 per month of service utilized will be deducted, and any remaining balance will be refunded to the original payment method. Any partial month during which the account is used shall be deemed a full month.

When eligible, legacy quarterly and annual subscriptions purchased prior to August 7, 2025, will be prorated and calculated at a deduction of $45.00 per month. Legacy weekly and monthly subscriptions are nonrefundable, as are the current weekly and monthly subscription plans.

To qualify for a prorated refund on quarterly or annual subscriptions, refund requests must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the recent payment date to support@GrantWatch.com. Requests submitted after 30 days will not be considered. Refund requests must include the user's full name, phone number, and the email address associated with the GrantWatch MemberPlus+ account.

By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions and submitting payment, you acknowledge and authorize enrollment in the Auto-Renew Program, allowing GrantWatch.com to charge your payment method automatically at the expiration of each subscription period until you cancel or disable auto-renewal.

GrantWatch treats all customers equally and does not make exceptions to this policy.
