    What's the difference between "grundet" and "på grund af" ?

      Nothing in essence, both can be used, and "på grund af" is most often used. You most encounter "grundet" in official writing.

            ... Just thinking aloud . Does the origin for this phrase come from on grounds of / on what grounds etc ?

            Yep. Meaning "on the basis/foundation of [reason]".

              Could you also say 'Det er ikke for dig'?

              No. The sentence is correct, but implies something different.

                    sounds like: "it is not on the grounds of your action"?

                    Shouldn't "It is not on account of you" also be accepted?

                    Shouldn't "it is not your fault" also be accepted? I reported it anyway.

                      I don't think so, exactly. "It is not your fault" is for negative things, whereas "It is not because of you" could be almost anything.
