Terms of Use

Who this is for

sySTEMary is a grant strategy and funding operations practice. This site and its free tools are written for nonprofits, schools, research institutions, community organizations, and the people who write grants for them. These terms apply to anyone who uses the site, the tools, or the content on it.

What the free tools do and do not do

The free tools are the Funder Match Tool, Funder Prioritization Engine, Outcome Clarity Tool, and Annual Report Source Pack Builder. They use AI to turn what you enter into a draft analysis, ranking, model, or source pack. They send your entries to Anthropic through a Cloudflare Worker, as the Privacy Policy describes.

Tool output is a draft starting point based only on what you provide. It can be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. It is not a verified evaluation, an eligibility determination, or a prediction of whether a funder will award a grant. Funders make their own decisions under their own rules, and no tool or consultant can guarantee an award.

The Annual Report Source Pack Builder reads public web pages and does not verify what they say.

Nothing on this site is legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice.

Your responsibilities

When you use the tools and the contact form, you agree to:

• Check tool output against the funder's official guidelines before you rely on it or submit anything
• Enter only information you have the right to share, and keep personal details about individual people out of the tools
• Provide web addresses to the Annual Report Source Pack Builder only for public pages you are permitted to use
• Use the tools one request at a time, without automated scripts, and without trying to get around limits on use
• Use the contact form only to reach me, and not for spam or automated submissions

You are responsible for decisions you make and applications you submit based on tool output.

What you can do

• Use the tools and their output for your own organization's planning, grant writing, and decision making
• Share output with colleagues, board members, funders, and advisors
• Link to this site from your own professional materials

You keep ownership of what you enter. You may use the output without attribution.

What you may not do

Without written permission, you may not:

• Reproduce, copy, or republish the tool prompts, methodology, or written content from this site
• Sell or license any part of the tools or frameworks under your own name or brand
• Repackage a tool, output structure, or framework from this site as your own product
• Use the sySTEMary name or brand in a commercial product or service
• Scrape or systematically collect content from this site for training, resale, or redistribution
• Try to extract the instructions behind a tool, or use a tool to generate content unrelated to funding and program planning

Ownership and intellectual property

Consulting services

Using the free tools does not create a consulting or client relationship. Consulting engagements are covered by a separate written scope and agreement. Descriptions of services and past work on this site summarize that work and are not a promise of a particular result.

Availability

The tools are free and provided as they are. I may change, limit, pause, or remove a tool at any time. Tools marked "Coming soon" are not available yet and may change before release.

Disclaimer and limits on liability

The site and tools are provided without warranties of any kind, including any warranty that output is accurate, complete, or suitable for a particular purpose. To the extent the law allows, sySTEMary and Mary Debus are not liable for losses or decisions that result from using the site or relying on tool output, including missed funding or rejected applications.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms as the site and tools change. The effective date at the top shows the most recent version. Continuing to use the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
