This Billing Agreement is a binding contract between You and the Common Grant Application ("CGA"), which is a project of Oceanpeak, Inc. ("Oceanpeak"). For purposes of this Billing Agreement, CGA and Oceanpeak are used interchangeably. Read the terms and conditions of this Billing Agreement carefully before accessing or using the CGA website ("website") located at www.commongrantapplication.com (including any successor sites).

Grantmakers will not be charged to to open or setup an account and enter information about their organization or programs. Grantmakers will pay a monthly subscription fee.

3. Billing plans

Each grantmaker is assigned a billing plan upon their registration and initial login. Your billing plan was automatically set to an agreed upon plan at the time your account migrated from another service provider or organization, or to the billing plan in effect the first time you logged into your account.

4. Grantmaker subscription charges

Grantmakers will pay a monthly subscription fee. The monthly subscription fee will start being charged when the grantmaker starts accepting applications for consideration. Grantmaker subscription fees are charged in advance for the upcoming month of service. Each billing cycle runs from the 1st of the month to the end of the month (either the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st, depending on the month). If the grantmaker starts accepting applications for consideration on the 1st of the month, the first charge will consist of one full month. Otherwise the first charge will consist of the pro-rated amount of the month the grantmaker joined plus the charge for the next full month. Subsequent charges will be made one full month at a time. The pro-rated month's charge is calculated by dividing the subscription fee monthly rate by the number of days in the month, and then multiplying this by the number of days left in the month. For example, if the monthly subscription fee is $60 and the grantmaker starts accepting applications on the 10th of a month that is 30 days long, the pro-rated subscription charge will be $60, divided by 30, then multiplied by 20 days, for a total of $40.

5. Refunds and proration

Grantmaker monthly subscription fees are charged in advance for upcoming month of service and are not refundable or prorated if a grantmaker decides to discontinue use of the service. To avoid being charged the subscription fee for an upcoming month, the grantmaker must request closing of the account no later than the end of the month.
