Terms of use

You can read, share and link to the pages of this website freely. Please do not:

• try to break into the website, other people’s accounts or our systems, or overload them on purpose;
• send spam, viruses or anything unlawful through our forms;
• pretend to be someone else, or apply on someone’s behalf without their permission;
• copy large parts of the website to republish them as your own.

When you fill in a form, apply, upload a document or message us, please make sure what you send is true and that you have the right to share it. Do not send other people’s personal details unless they agreed. Do not upload passwords, bank card numbers or copies of identity documents unless a form clearly asks for them.

You keep the rights to your ideas and documents. You allow SIA to store and use them only to consider and support your application or request. We publish nothing of yours without asking you first.

If you create a My SIA account, keep your password to yourself and tell us straight away if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for what is done with it. We may pause or close an account that is used to break these terms, and we will tell you why.

You can delete your account at any time from its settings. See the privacy policy for what happens to your information.

Applying does not guarantee a place, a grant or an investment. Places are limited and the SIA team decides using the criteria published with each call. Any fee is shown on the application before you submit it. Information on the website about dates, places and support can change; the confirmation you receive from the team is what counts.

Thank you for supporting SIA. You pay through your own bank, mobile wallet or a payment page; SIA never sees your card details or passwords. Please check the amount and the account details before you pay. If you made a mistake, contact us as soon as possible.

Answers from the Ask assistant are written by artificial intelligence, using only the pages of this website. They can be incomplete or wrong. Before you act on something important, such as a deadline, a fee or whether you qualify, check it on the page the answer links to or with the team. Do not type personal details into the assistant.

The SIA name and logo belong to SIA. You may use them to link to us or to report accurately on our work. To use them in any other way, for example on a partner’s materials, ask us first; see SIA Brand Assets.

Text, photos and figures on this website belong to SIA or to the people who allowed us to use them. You may quote short parts with a credit and a link. Photos of people may not be reused without their consent.

We link to other websites, such as WhatsApp, partner organisations and payment services. We are not responsible for their content or how they handle your information; read their own terms and privacy policies.

We work hard to keep the website accurate and available, but we cannot promise it will always be error-free or online. As far as the law allows, SIA is not responsible for loss caused by relying on the website or by it being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits responsibilities that the law does not allow us to limit.
