1. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
This Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) by and between Meg Bouvier Medical Writing LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company doing business as “Bouvier Grant Group” (“we”, “us”, “our” or “BGG”) and you (“you” or “your”) governs your use of the www.bouviergrant.com website and other BGG owned or controlled websites (collectively, “BGG Websites”) together with all information, content, products, materials and services made available to you through the same by us and/or third parties via the BGG Websites (which together with the BGG Websites shall be collectively referred to as the “Services”).
By using or otherwise accessing the Services, or any component thereof, in any manner whatsoever, you agree to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not access, or use the Services in any manner.
When we refer to the “use” of the Services in this Agreement, we mean any actual or attempted access or use of the Services, including, without limitation, any transmission, exchange of information or communication associated with the Services. These terms and conditions, together with any other terms of use applicable to other BGG Websites, as specifically noted on such sites, and any other policies, rules and provisions which are described, linked or otherwise referred to and form a part of this Agreement, including, without limitation our Privacy Policy at https://bouviergrant.com/privacy-policy/, constitute the entire agreement between you and us, superseding any and all prior or inconsistent understandings, representations, or agreements, regarding the Services.
Furthermore, by using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that all sales made through the BGG Websites or in connection with the Services are final. We do not offer refunds, exchanges, or cancellations for any purchases. This no-refund policy is an integral part of our agreement with you and applies to all transactions.
2. MEMBERSHIP USAGE
Your individual membership is intended for use by a single learner to support grant application preparation and submission.
Sharing login information among multiple individuals is strictly prohibited. If multiple learners (applicants or administrators) require access, each must obtain a separate membership. Each individual membership grants access to virtual courses, Bootcamps, and live Q&A sessions, and is billed separately.
We may add, delete, or modify any of our Services at any time in our sole discretion. We may similarly change this Agreement at any time and we will notify you of any changes (e.g., we will post a revised Agreement or Privacy Statement with a new effective date, or otherwise give notice of new terms). Changes will take effect once we notify you (“effective date”). You can always obtain a current copy of this Agreement at any time on the www.bouviergrant.com website. Your use of the Services after the effective date shall constitute your acceptance of such changes. If any new products or services become available from BGG, they will be considered a part of the Services and your use of them will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless we notify you that different terms and conditions apply. You must also comply with any terms that apply to third-party content, material, information, software, or other services which are made available via BGG Websites.

We make no representation that your use of the Interactive Services will comply with applicable laws or that they were designed to comply with the applicable laws. Additionally, we do not represent, warrant, or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, quality, or reliability of any of the Content posted, displayed, linked to, or otherwise transmitted via any Interactive Services. We also do not endorse any opinions expressed in or through any Interactive Services. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content.

· Content that is or may be in violation of this Agreement.
· Content that could reasonably be construed as a violation of federal, state, local or international law, including those prohibiting anti-competitive activities or unfair trade practices. For example, participants should not discuss detailed salary, wage, or benefit pay by a company or industry, since such a discussion might fall outside of the FTC/Dept. of Justice safe harbor provisions for sharing of salary, wage, and benefits information.
· Content that infringes any other person or entity’s copyright, trademark, service mark, trade dress or privacy-related rights.
· Content that is unprofessional or is harmful to the image of others.

6. SHOPPING
BGG makes no representations or warranties regarding the results any user of Services will achieve, and all users of such Services recognize and agree it shall be entirely up to such users to decide the extent to which they will follow any advice or rely on any materials provided by BGG, that BGG cannot predict or guarantee whether use of Services will, for instance, result in a user of the Services receiving any funding or entering into any agreements, and you hereby release BGG and its agents, employees, members, officers, contractors and representatives from any and all claims you may at any time have in connection with or as a result of your using Services or your following any advice or materials provided by BGG or otherwise in connection with the Services.

All sales are final. Once a purchase is made, we do not offer refunds, exchanges, or cancellations for any reason. By making a purchase, you acknowledge and agree that you have carefully considered the service or product and accept this no-refund policy.
Chargeback Disputes: In the event that you initiate a chargeback dispute with your credit card issuer or financial institution regarding any payment made to BGG under the terms of this Agreement, BGG reserves the right to immediately terminate all services provided under this Agreement without prior notice. Such termination shall not relieve you of any outstanding payment obligations or other liabilities incurred prior to the termination date. BGG may, at its sole discretion, reinstate services upon successful resolution of the dispute in BGG’s favor and payment of any associated fees or charges.
We have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for Services you may obtain from or through other websites or web pages, even if you were directed or linked to such a site or page through the BGG Website.
Our creation or transmission of an order confirmation does not signify acceptance of your order, nor constitute a binding confirmation of an offer to sell any Service and, unless otherwise set forth in a written agreement between you and BGG, we reserve the right to accept or decline your order for any reason up until the time the Service is actually delivered to you. Unless set forth otherwise in any written agreement between you and BGG, we reserve the right at any time, without prior notice, to limit or reduce the quantity you ordered of any Service and we will notify you if we do so. Services are offered for sale or license only to end user customers or as personal gifts to end user customers and not for resale or licensing. We do not knowingly accept orders from dealers, exporters, wholesalers, distributors, resellers, or other similar persons or companies via the BGG Websites, and reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or seek the return of any Services that are purchased or licensed in violation of the foregoing restrictions.

If an order consists of multiple items, they may be shipped separately depending on availability.
7. US TRADE SANCTIONS COMPLIANCE
BGG must comply with international trade sanctions imposed by the U.S. government. These sanctions prohibit BGG from providing certain products and services to individuals or organizations located in designated countries, or to a person or organization that is designated on a U.S. government-maintained list. For this reason, individuals who (1) are on any such list or who work for a company that is on such a list, or (2) are affiliated with, or are employed by organizations that are affiliated with, governments of those countries that are subject to sanctions, or (3) are residents of or are ordinarily residents of countries where U.S. sanctions prohibit BGG from providing certain products or services, will not be able to take advantage of the prohibited products or services. Further, individuals in certain countries may be subject to additional screening and, in some cases, may be prohibited from using certain products and services as a result of such US government sanctions. Please note, however, that U.S. government sanctions laws change from time to time, and BGG reserves the right to immediately implement any changes or additions to these restrictions as appropriate.
