Please read these Terms of Use carefully before accessing or using Grantd Academy. These Grantd Academy Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and Grantd Equity Inc. (“Grantd,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of Grantd Academy, including the website at which it is hosted (the “Site”) and all courses, training materials, assessments, certification programs, and other content made available through the Site (collectively, the “Content”). By accessing or using the Site or the Content, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Site or the Content.
Relationship to Other Agreements. These Terms govern only your use of Grantd Academy. They do not apply to, and do not modify, any separate agreement between you (or your employer or firm) and Grantd governing access to the core Grantd platform, including any master subscription agreement, order form, or terms of service (the “Platform Agreement”). If you enroll in the Grantd Equity Certified Advisor (GECA) program, your participation is also governed by the separate GECA Certification Agreement, which supplements and does not replace these Terms. If these Terms conflict with the Platform Agreement regarding use of the core Grantd platform, the Platform Agreement controls; if these Terms conflict with the GECA Certification Agreement regarding the GECA program specifically, the GECA Certification Agreement controls.
Grantd Academy is Grantd's online learning platform, providing self-paced courses and training materials on equity compensation concepts and use of the Grantd platform, and includes the GECA certification program described in Section 6. All Content is provided solely for educational and informational purposes. Nothing in the Content constitutes financial, investment, tax, legal, or other professional advice, and Grantd is not acting as your (or your clients') financial advisor, broker-dealer, or fiduciary by making the Content available.
Access to the Academy is currently available to individuals with an active Grantd customer license. Grantd may in the future make the Academy available to additional categories of users, including through an employer or organization, subject to Section 3 or a separate written agreement. To access the Content, you must register for an account (“Account”). You are responsible for all activity under your Account, for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, and for promptly notifying Grantd at academy@grantdequity.com of any unauthorized use of your Account. You will not share your Account credentials with any other person. Grantd may suspend or terminate your Account if information you provide is or becomes inaccurate, false, or misleading.
If your access to the Academy is provided through an employer or other organization, that organization may have visibility into your course enrollment, progress, and completion status, and your access may be limited to the duration of your relationship with that organization. Grantd has not yet launched a full enterprise offering for the Academy, including any white-labeled version of the Academy, and any such offering will be subject to additional security, compliance, and contractual terms to be agreed separately between Grantd and the applicable organization. Nothing in these Terms commits Grantd to any particular enterprise feature set or timeline.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Grantd grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Content for your own professional development and internal business purposes. You will not: (a) share your Account or login credentials; (b) copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform or display, or resell any Content; (c) modify or create derivative works based on the Content; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Site; (e) use automated means, including bots or scrapers, to access the Site; (f) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any access or security measure; (g) use the Content to develop, train, or improve any product or service that competes with Grantd; or (h) use the Academy for any unlawful purpose.
All Content, including text, video, graphics, course design, assessments, and the GECA program materials, is owned by or licensed to Grantd and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. No rights are granted to you except the limited license in Section 4. If you submit suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Academy (“Feedback”), you grant Grantd an unrestricted, perpetual, royalty-free right to use that Feedback for any purpose without compensation or attribution to you.
6.1 GECA Program. Grantd Academy includes the Grantd Equity Certified Advisor (“GECA”) program, consisting of a structured learning path, assessments, and a final certification exam. Enrollment in the GECA program requires acceptance of the separate GECA Certification Agreement, which governs use of the GECA name and designation, certification maintenance, and related terms.
6.2 Continuing Education Credit. Grantd may seek approval from third-party accrediting or standard-setting bodies, including CFP Board, for select courses to qualify for continuing education (“CE”) credit. Any statement that a course has been accepted for CE credit applies only to that specific course, for the period Grantd's accreditation for that course remains active, and does not constitute an endorsement by any accrediting body of the Academy, the GECA program, or Grantd generally. You are responsible for independently confirming the current CE-eligible status of any course before relying on it to satisfy your own continuing education requirements.
6.3 Exam and Assessment Integrity. You will not: (a) copy, record, photograph, or otherwise reproduce any assessment or exam question; (b) share exam or assessment content, or your login credentials, with any other person; (c) receive or provide unauthorized assistance during an assessment; or (d) misrepresent your identity or completion status. You will not self-report course completions to any third party, including any accrediting body; completion and credit reporting will be handled by Grantd.
6.4 Records. Grantd will retain enrollment, progress, assessment, and certification records for the period required to support certification administration and any applicable continuing education reporting obligations, which may exceed the general data retention periods described in Grantd's Privacy Policy.
The Academy is not currently monetized. Grantd reserves the right to introduce fees for certain courses, features, or certification programs in the future, in which case pricing, billing terms, and any refund policy will be presented to you before you incur any charge. Except as otherwise stated at the time of purchase, fees are non-refundable.
If you submit content through the Academy, such as discussion posts or assignments (“User Content”), you grant Grantd a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display that User Content in connection with operating the Academy. You represent that you have the necessary rights to submit your User Content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.
The Academy may be hosted on or integrate with third-party platforms, such as a third-party learning management system. Grantd is not responsible for the availability or performance of, and does not endorse, any third-party service, and your use of any such service may be subject to its own terms.
You acknowledge that: (a) the Content is educational in nature and does not replace your own professional judgment, licensing obligations, or your firm's policies; (b) your use of the Content does not create any advisory, fiduciary, or other relationship between Grantd and you, or between Grantd and any client or customer you advise; and (c) Grantd owes no duty of care to, and assumes no liability to, any third party, including your clients or their equity holders, arising from your use of the Content or your reliance on any certification or CE credit associated with the Academy. You remain solely responsible for compliance with all laws, licensing requirements, and fiduciary or suitability obligations applicable to your professional practice.
THE SITE AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. GRANTD DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. NO CERTIFICATION, CREDENTIAL, OR COMPLETION OF ANY COURSE GUARANTEES ANY PROFESSIONAL, FINANCIAL, OR EMPLOYMENT OUTCOME.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GRANTD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY. GRANTD'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR THE CONTENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO GRANTD FOR ACCESS TO THE ACADEMY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000).
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grantd and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any third-party claim, liability, damage, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Site or Content; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or third-party right; or (d) any advice or service you provide to your own clients or customers.
These Terms remain in effect while you use the Academy. Grantd may suspend or terminate your access to the Academy at any time, with or without cause or notice. Upon termination, your license to use the Content ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 5, 6.4, 10 through 13, and 16 through 18, will survive.
Grantd may modify these Terms or the Academy at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use of the Academy after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Your use of the Academy is also governed by Grantd's Privacy Policy, available at https://www.grantdequity.com/privacy-policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and, if applicable, the GECA Certification Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Grantd regarding the Academy. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Grantd's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. You may not assign these Terms; Grantd may assign these Terms without restriction. Notices to Grantd should be sent to the email address below. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and Grantd.
