Terms of Service

IMPORTANT GRANT SERVICES INFORMATION: Please note that all grant services are nonrefundable after the initial meeting. The time required for grant services can vary based on completion needs. If you do not have all the necessary information for me to begin searching for grants, I will allow you time to provide that information in a timely manner. 

If you are inquiring about specific grant application requirements, please be aware that this process may take longer to complete, depending on grant(s) availability. If you do not update me with the necessary information within a six-month period, your grant service will be closed, and no refund will be issued. 

If you have any concerns, please send me an email, and I will respond as soon as possible.

Please note that Grandiose Grant Services acts only as an independent contractor and does not work full-time for your business or organization. We only find, write, and apply for grant opportunities. We are not responsible for providing you with a copy of the submission and answers; for providing follow-up emails to grantors, or for any disagreements that may arise from our work. If you advance to additional phases of the grant application process, please inform us, and we can assist with completing any additional applications. We provide basic grant-writing services. If you need in-depth, comprehensive grant writing, we are not a match for your business or organization. There will be an additional fee per grant application for any special request services not included in the service descriptions. Once services begin, there are no refunds, no matter what.

Refund Policy for Grant Writing Services and All Other Services

If Mariah Welford chooses to terminate the service contract before the service is complete, a partial refund will be issued. The amount of the refund will depend on the type of service provided.

If Mariah Welford cancels the service contract. The refund for our grant writing services is calculated by subtracting the initial meeting fee of $76 and the total cost of any completed grants (ranging from 1 to 10 grants, totaling between $108 and $998) along with any applicable discounts for package deals from the total service cost.

Example:  

If a client schedules two business grants costing $198 and then Mariah Welford cancels the service for unreconcilable reasons, the client will receive a refund of $22. This is calculated as follows:  

$198 (total cost) - $108 (cost of grants) - $76 (initial meeting fee) = $22.

For all other services, the refund will deduct the initial meeting fee of $76 and account for the time spent on the project at an hourly rate from the total service cost.


Partial Refunds:  

Partial refunds are only issued if Mariah Welford cancels the service contract. All other cancellations are nonrefundable. By purchasing any of Grandiose Grant Services' services, you agree to these terms and waive any right to pursue legal action against Mariah Welford and/or Grandiose Grant Services, LLC.
