Content Disclaimer & UGC Liability Policy

1. General Disclaimer

Grants USA, operated by Astra Agency ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), provides the Service and all associated content — including AI-generated text, grant opportunity listings, eligibility analysis, and educational resources — for informational and assistive purposes only.

Nothing on the Grants USA platform constitutes legal, financial, tax, regulatory, or professional advice. Grants USA is a technology platform, not a licensed grant writing firm, law firm, or financial advisory service. You should always consult appropriately qualified professionals before making decisions based on information provided through the Service.

2. No Guarantee of Grant Awards

Grants USA does not guarantee, represent, or warrant that using our platform will result in any grant award, funding approval, or positive outcome from any funder. Funding decisions are made exclusively by grantmaking organizations and are outside our control. We make no claims about historical success rates that apply to any specific user's situation.

Any statistics or metrics referenced on the platform (e.g., "faster submissions," "grants discovered") reflect platform-level data or estimates and do not constitute a guarantee of individual results.

3. Accuracy of Grant Opportunity Data

Grant opportunity data displayed on the platform is sourced from publicly available databases including Grants.gov, federal agency websites, and foundation directories. While we strive to keep listings accurate and current, Grants USA does not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any grant listing. Always verify grant details directly with the awarding organization before investing time in an application.

4. User-Generated Content (UGC) Policy

Users may input, upload, create, or share content through the Service, including organization information, grant responses, documents, and communications ("User Content"). With respect to User Content:

• Ownership: You retain full ownership of your User Content. By submitting content to the platform, you grant Grants USA a limited license to store and process it solely to deliver the Service.
• Responsibility: You are solely responsible for all User Content you create or submit, including its accuracy, legality, and compliance with funder requirements. Grants USA is not liable for errors, omissions, or misrepresentations in your User Content.
• No Endorsement: Grants USA does not review, endorse, or validate User Content. The presence of any content on the platform does not constitute our approval of that content.
• Prohibited Content: You may not submit User Content that is false, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, threatening, infringing on third-party intellectual property, or in violation of any applicable law.
• Section 230 Notice: To the extent applicable, Grants USA asserts protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230) for third-party content processed through our platform.

5. Third-Party Links and Resources

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, including government grant portals, funder websites, and external resources. These links are provided for convenience only. Grants USA has no control over the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites and is not responsible for any harm or damages resulting from your use of such sites.

6. Testimonials and Results

Testimonials displayed on the Grants USA platform reflect the individual experiences of users and do not constitute a guarantee of similar results. Individual outcomes vary based on organization type, grant competitiveness, proposal quality, and many other factors beyond our control.

In compliance with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), testimonials represent honest user experiences. We do not fabricate or materially alter testimonials.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Grants USA, Astra Agency, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:
