1 What a grant is

A grant is working capital that Global Ecommerce Arbitrage Store (GEAS) places in your account so you can trade at a scale your own balance would not reach. It's funded from platform revenue and grows as the business grows. You don't buy a grant and you don't deposit anything to receive one.

It isn't a gift either. Every grant carries conditions, a countdown, and an expiry date. Meet the conditions and you keep the profit. Miss them and you don't. The principal • the capital GEAS put in • always returns to GEAS at expiry.

Pre-Grants

Issued instantly, no review. You self-manage, and profit unlocks only if you keep enough active team members through the countdown.

Post-Grants

Reviewed before anything is issued. Capital is sized to your Managed Merchant Network, and approval makes you a Brand Ambassador.

GEAS decides how many grants go out each cycle and can close a cycle at any time.

2 Terms used here

Active team member
A KYC-verified direct referral who has funded their store (deposited) and is actively trading • holding an active AI Bot or following a pilot with at least one settled trade in the 30 days before your countdown ends.
Inactive team member
An active member who later drops below the activity threshold set by GEAS • for example, by withdrawing their funds below that threshold. They stop counting toward your grant the moment this happens.
Managed Merchant Network (MMN)
The active stores under you that GEAS counts when sizing a Post-Grant.
Countdown / expiry
The fixed period a grant runs for, shown on your tier. Expiry is the day it ends.
Grant principal / grant profit
The principal is the capital GEAS put in; it returns to GEAS at expiry, always. The profit is what you earned trading with it, subject to the release rules below.

3 How team members count

Team members are the engine of the program, so the counting rules are strict and designed to stop the grant being gamed. Two rules matter most:

🔒
One member, one grant, forever. Once a team member has been counted toward the eligibility of any grant, they can never be counted toward another • whether that grant is still running or has already expired. Committed members are permanently tied to the grant that used them.
📉
Going inactive removes them from your count. A member only counts while they stay active. If an active member later drops below the admin-set threshold (for instance, by withdrawing their funds under it), they're subtracted from the total that made you eligible. Your live team count on the dashboard reflects this in real time, next to your countdown • so you always see exactly where you stand.

Because of this, reaching the requirement once isn't the whole story: you need enough members to stay active through the countdown. Building a real, engaged network • not a one-off spike • is what keeps a grant alive.

4 Pre-Grants

Instant, with no review queue. The moment you apply and consent, the capital is in your account.

  • Use the capital for AI Bots, manual trading, and Copy Pilots on the GEAS platform • nothing outside it.
  • Profit stays locked inside the grant while it runs. You can't move it to your main wallet before expiry.
  • To keep the grant running, you must reach • and hold • the number of active team members shown on your tier before the countdown ends.
  • If your active count falls short at any point through the window, you lose eligibility to withdraw profit and face forfeiture at expiry.
  • Meet it, and at expiry the profit is released to your main wallet while the principal returns to GEAS.
⚠️
If you don't hold the requirement in time, the grant closes, the principal returns to GEAS, and the locked profit is forfeited. A member already committed to another grant does not count again here.

5 Post-Grants

Every application is reviewed, and nothing is disbursed until the GEAS team approves it.

  • Apply within 7 days of activating your AI tool • later applications aren't considered.
  • How much capital you get depends on the size of your MMN and the tools you're running, as set out in the tier table.
  • Capital is for inventory turnover only and stays inside the GEAS ecosystem for a 60-day seasoning period; you can't withdraw the principal during it, and it returns to GEAS at the end.
  • Profit becomes withdrawable once the expiry window closes, not before.
  • Tiers don't stack • qualifying for a higher tier means building a new merchant network in a new sector. A retired network won't count again.

6 If your Post-Grant is approved

You take on the role of GEAS Brand Ambassador for the life of the grant. Four things come with it:

  • Show up publicly. Live AMAs, video conferences, stakeholder briefings. Text-only posting doesn't satisfy this.
  • Document the work. Upload clear video of inventory arriving, being stocked, and being deployed • this is how GEAS audits the grant.
  • Report on time. Accurate submissions, on schedule, for as long as the grant runs.
  • Consent to use. Uploading lets GEAS store that footage and use it in program reporting and marketing. Don't upload footage of anyone who hasn't agreed to appear; you can withdraw consent for future marketing use via support, though GEAS keeps the audit copies.
🎯
Performance bonuses, paid on thresholds actually reached: the $5,000 tier pays a $500 bonus and the $20,000 tier pays $2,000 • both withdrawable immediately. Profit you earn trading grant capital is yours (subject to the release timing above); the principal never is.

7 Losing a grant

GEAS can suspend or cancel a grant, reclaim the capital, and restrict future eligibility if you:

  • miss the 7-day application window;
  • move grant principal out during the seasoning period;
  • miss reporting, documentation, or visibility obligations;
  • reuse a retired network to claim a new tier;
  • misrepresent your team, your network, or your trading activity.

You'll get written notice and 7 days to correct the problem first • unless the breach involves moving funds or false information, in which case the grant is cancelled immediately.

8 General & legal

  • Eligibility. You need an active AI Bot on the platform. GEAS can change eligibility requirements.
  • No guarantee. Grant capital trades in the same market as any other capital and can lose money. Nothing here promises profit, and nothing here is financial, tax, or legal advice • your decisions are your own.
  • One commitment per resource. A team member or a merchant store counts toward a single grant at a time.
  • Changes. GEAS can revise tiers, requirements, windows, and bonuses. Changes are posted on the platform and apply to grants issued after that date. Grants already running keep the terms they started under.
  • Liability. GEAS isn't liable for indirect or consequential loss. Where liability can't be excluded by law, it's capped at the value of the grant.
  • Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, with disputes under the exclusive jurisdiction of the UAE courts. Where your country of residence gives you rights that can't be signed away, those rights still stand.
