Terms of service

Version: 2026-10-08-v1. Effective 8 October 2026. Operator: Amply LLC, 1110 N Virgil Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90029.

1. What you are agreeing to

GrantTune helps research teams organize scientific literature, explore research questions, review model answers and draft grant material. These terms govern your use of the service. “We,” “us” and “GrantTune” mean the operator named above. “You” means the person accepting these terms and, only when that person has authority to bind it, the organization identified during acceptance.

You agree by taking the explicit acceptance action shown by the service. Signing in with Google or email authenticates you; it does not by itself grant new training rights. The Training contribution agreement governs scientist corrections. The Privacy notice explains information handling and is provided for acknowledgment, not as a blanket consent to all processing.

2. Accounts and workspaces

Use your own account, protect your sign-in credentials, and tell us about suspected unauthorized use. You must be at least 18 and able to enter this agreement. If acting for an institution, ensure you have the authority required for your actions and contributions.

Workspace access requires verified membership. Admins manage workspace details, membership and invitations; Members can perform the scientific work available to them. An Admin's invitation gives access, not ownership of other people's material or authority to license it. Your institution may impose additional requirements.

Saved workspace records are shared with authorized members of that workspace and accessible to GrantTune personnel who need them to operate or support the service. Do not assume a saved draft or review is visible only to you. Membership removal ends future access but does not automatically erase shared records or research history.

3. Your content and our service license

You keep the rights you or your institution hold in the material you submit. You give GrantTune a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, copy, process and display that material as needed to provide the service you request, support your workspace, secure the service, and maintain appropriate histories and backups. We may allow service providers to perform these activities for us subject to suitable restrictions. This license lasts while those purposes require the material, subject to the Privacy notice and applicable law.

The separate Training contribution agreement covers all scientist corrections saved in the service, including corrected answers, scientific annotations, feedback and explanations, with the associated context needed to understand them. Ordinary draft uploads, paper uploads and generation requests are not automatically licensed for shared-model training merely because they are saved. Third-party sources still require their own use basis.

Submit only material you have authority to share and process for the intended purpose. Access to an article or a grant document does not necessarily include rights to train on it. Permission for your own correction does not license third-party text embedded in it.

4. Contributions to model improvement

The standard service includes learning from all scientist corrections. You must accept the Training contribution agreement to use the service. Corrections qualify when saved, without a separate training opt-in or a requirement that they first receive scientific approval. We may use them to improve models serving other customers and future paid GrantTune services. There is no contribution quota, and licensing does not guarantee use.

The contribution license permits ongoing future training and survives account closure. There is no contractual self-service training opt-out or withdrawal right. We may agree to a lab-specific exception in writing, at our discretion; a request alone does not change permission. Mandatory legal rights and remedies remain unaffected.

Contractual permission, scientific approval, dataset assignment and operational authorization to run training are separate. A permission grant does not cause an automatic training run or guarantee that we will use a contribution.

5. Appropriate use

Do not submit patient-identifying information, human-subject records, credentials, or sensitive personal information. Do not submit unpublished or restricted research unless you have the approvals needed for the relevant workspace sharing and processing. Material subject to incompatible confidentiality, sponsor, peer-review, journal or institutional duties must not be contributed for model improvement.

Do not use GrantTune to fabricate evidence, conceal research misconduct, infringe others' rights, evade access controls, interfere with the service or conduct unlawful activities. Follow the rules of the funder, institution and journal relevant to your work, including any requirements to disclose AI assistance.

6. Generated answers and outputs

Generated answers can contain false claims, invented citations, unsupported interpretations or unsuitable experimental suggestions. You are responsible for checking the sources and scientific meaning, distinguishing hypotheses from findings, and reviewing any material before using or submitting it. GrantTune does not provide medical advice or guarantee scientific correctness, novelty or funding.

As between you and GrantTune, we assign to you any rights we hold in outputs generated specifically in response to your requests, to the extent transferable under applicable law. This does not transfer rights in our software, model weights or third-party material. Outputs may resemble other users' outputs, and we cannot guarantee that an output is copyrightable, exclusive or free of third-party rights. The contribution license applies when you save a scientist correction to an output through the review features.

7. Confidentiality and service providers

We will use nonpublic workspace content for the purposes described in these agreements, restrict operational access to people and providers who need it, and require appropriate confidentiality protections. We will not publish your nonpublic source text or use it in marketing without separate permission. Authorized workspace members can still copy or export shared records; choose collaborators carefully.

We may disclose information when legally required, to address security incidents or to protect legal rights, with notice where lawful and practicable. The Privacy notice describes providers and processing. These terms do not create attorney-client privilege or make the service suitable for regulated clinical data. Contribution-specific limits remain in the Training contribution agreement.

8. Availability, fees and ending access

The service is experimental. Features, models and availability may change; interruptions and discontinuation are possible. We may suspend access to address misuse, security risks or legal requirements, and will explain the reason where practicable. You may stop using the service and request account closure at any time.

These terms do not establish a paid subscription. Any future fees, renewal or cancellation terms will be presented before you purchase. Account closure does not itself remove shared research records or previously trained model influence; see the Privacy notice and Training contribution agreement. Ask us about available exports before closing access.

9. Warranties and responsibility

To the extent allowed by law, the experimental service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or noninfringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or preservation of every record. Keep appropriate copies of important work.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude, or overrides our express confidentiality and information-handling commitments. To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable under these terms for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages or lost profits. GrantTune’s aggregate liability arising from the service is limited to the greater of

Terms of service

10. Changes and disputes

We will identify new versions and notify you of material changes before they take effect. We will obtain fresh agreement before materially expanding training rights or other data uses where required. New terms will not silently broaden permissions for previously collected material.

Contact us first so we can try to resolve concerns. California law governs these terms, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Except where mandatory law requires otherwise, disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and the parties consent to those courts. Mandatory local rights remain unaffected. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. These terms and the accepted Training contribution agreement form the agreement on their subjects; the contribution agreement controls conflicts about contribution use.
