Acceptance

Information, not advice

Everything on this site — including material about funding, programmes, sponsorship, and taxes — is general information. It is not legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice. For decisions that matter, speak to your own advisors.

Documents and filings

Reports and financial statements are posted here for convenience. If a posted copy ever differs from an official signed document or a filing with an authority, the official document prevails.

Copyright and marks

Site content is © CFIR unless noted otherwise, and may be used for personal, non-commercial purposes. Research publications carry the licence indicated on the document. The Foundation’s name and marks may be used only with written permission.

Links to other sites

Links to third-party sites — including yedi.ca and government registries — are provided for convenience. They are not an endorsement, and the Foundation is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other sites.

No warranty

The site is provided as is. We make reasonable efforts to keep it accurate and available, and give no guarantee of either; to the extent permitted by law, the Foundation is not liable for damages arising from use of the site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, and the courts of Ontario have jurisdiction.
