Terms & Conditions

1. Eligibility Requirements

To be considered for the Grant, applicants must:

• Own or lead a female-led business or business concept
• Have a business that is under 5 years old (or not yet started)
• Have earned less than $50,000 in business revenue in each of the current and prior year
• Be at least 18 years of age and legally able to enter into this agreement
• Complete the application fully and honestly; any false or misleading information is grounds for disqualification, or forfeiture of funds if discovered after selection
• Not be a current employee, contractor, or immediate family member of Brillionaires, LLC or the Woodson Center
• Agree to these Terms & Conditions in full

Selection is at the sole discretion of The Brillionaire and Brillionaires, LLC. Submitting an application does not guarantee selection. There is no cost to apply.

2. Initial Baseline Assessment

If selected, you agree to complete an initial baseline assessment before receiving any grant funds or beginning mentorship. This assessment captures your starting point so progress can be honestly measured over the 5-month program.

You agree to complete a follow-up assessment at the end of the program using the same measures.

3. Ongoing Program Obligations

As a condition of receiving and keeping your grant funds, you agree to:

• Follow The Brillionaire on YouTube (and any other platform specified at program kickoff)
• Promote enrollment into The Brillionaire's current program or campaign, as directed
• Share the business opportunity (this Grant, or your participation in it) on your own social media or community channels at least once per month
• Complete monthly deliverables showing how grant funds were spent that month
• Complete assigned tasks given by your mentor during mentorship sessions, on the timeline given
• Be available to attend, at a minimum monthly and maximum biweekly, virtual Zoom group calls, and be willing to meet 1:1 where necessary. Failure to attend virtual sessions will result in termination from the program

Failure to meet these obligations may result in delayed, reduced, or forfeited remaining grant payments, at the sole discretion of Brillionaires, LLC.

4. Use of Grant Funds

Grant funds must be used toward launching or growing an AI-related business — tools, training, equipment, marketing, or other direct business expenses. Funds may not be used for non-business personal expenses. Monthly deliverables are how fund use is verified.

5. Payment & Forfeiture Terms

At acceptance, each recipient chooses one of the following, which is final once selected:

• The full $5,000 paid at the end of the 5-month program, or
• $1,000 paid monthly for 5 months

For monthly-payout recipients, if a given month's deliverables or assigned tasks are not completed, that month's payment may be withheld until submitted, or forfeited if not submitted within 10 business days of the due date.

Two consecutive months of non-compliance may result in removal from the program and forfeiture of all remaining unpaid funds.

6. Tax Responsibility

Grant funds may be considered taxable income. Recipients are solely responsible for determining and meeting any tax obligations related to funds received, and should consult a tax professional. Brillionaires, LLC and/or The Woodson Center may issue applicable tax forms (e.g., 1099) as required by law.

7. Media & Story Release

I grant The Brillionaire and Brillionaires, LLC, The Woodson Center and its affiliates permission to use my name, story, photo, video, and testimonial in marketing materials related to this Grant and related programs, both during and after the program period, without additional compensation.

8. Relationship Clarification

Participation in this Grant does not create an employment relationship between the recipient and Brillionaires, LLC or the Woodson Center. Recipients are not agents, employees, or contractors of either organization.

9. No Guarantee of Outcome

Brillionaires, LLC makes no guarantee that participation in this program will result in business success, profit, or any specific outcome. Mentorship and funding are provided in good faith; results depend significantly on the recipient's own effort and circumstances.

10. Confidentiality

Recipients agree to keep any proprietary materials, strategies, or internal program content shared during mentorship confidential, and not to repurpose or resell them outside the program.

11. Release of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, recipients release Brillionaires, LLC, The Brillionaire, and the Woodson Center from liability for any loss, damage, or harm arising from participation in the program.

12. Data Sharing Disclosure

Baseline and follow-up assessment data, along with monthly deliverable content, may be shared with the Woodson Center and program funders for reporting and impact-tracking purposes.

13. Not a Loan

Grant funds are not a loan and do not need to be repaid, except in cases of fraud, material misrepresentation in the application, or a clear, willful breach of these terms.

14. Governing Law & Disputes

This agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any dispute will first be addressed through good-faith direct communication between the parties before any further action is taken.

15. Acknowledgment

By submitting an application, I confirm that I have read and agree to these Terms & Conditions in full, and that I understand grant funds and continued participation are conditioned on meeting the obligations described above.
