Applicants to the Bell Fund will be asked to include Bell Fund SID-codes for Shareholders and Key Creatives (Producers, Directors, Writers) in applications submitted to the Bell Fund (“Application”).
Accuracy of Information. You represent and warrant that your information is accurate and will be kept up to date by you. You can modify your own self-identification information at any time.

Bell Fund staff may access, review and internally share your information if it is relevant to the analysis of an Application or for the Purposes defined above.
In some exceptional cases, the Bell Fund may cross-validate its data with other organizations who are directly associated with an Application (e.g., the Indigenous Screen Office) to confirm the presence of individuals in both databases.
Review. The Bell Fund staff may contact you to request further information regarding your self-identification. This may include requests for additional explanation or to provide documentation for review and validation.
Retention Period. All registered users will receive a notice every seven (7) years following their registration to the Portal to validate their account. If an account is not validated within the time period requested, account data will be deleted if it is not tied to an active Application.

To the full extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Bell Fund or its directors, officers, employees, contractors or agents be liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, including without limitation any costs, damages or expenses in relation to this agreement and/or the provision of the Portal or the failure to provide the Portal.
