Programs shall be developed and overseen by the board or appointed committees.

Governance. The corporate legal entity of TAS is governed through a Board of Directors (“Board”) who oversee the operations, management, and strategic direction of the organization.
The Board will be composed of individuals with diverse expertise and backgrounds to reflect the diversity of our membership and the communities we serve. The Board’s composition, terms of service, roles, and responsibilities shall be defined through a separate policy.

Non-Discrimination. TAS is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community. TAS ensures that educational and employment decisions are based on individuals’ abilities and qualifications. Consistent with this principle and applicable laws, TAS does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by applicable law.

Conflict of Interest. Every director, officer, committee member, and staff of TAS has a duty to be free from the influence of any conflicting interest when representing TAS in negotiations or when making recommendations with respect to dealings with third parties. They are expected to deal with TAS in good faith and with undivided loyalty. The details of how potential conflicts of interest should be handled will be outlined in TAS’s Conflict of Interest Policy.

Indemnification. The users and members agree to indemnify and hold harmless TAS, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and permitted successors and assigns against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, punitive damages, expenses, reasonable legal fees and costs of any kind or amount whatsoever, which result from the negligence of or breach of this TOS by the user or member, or its respective successors-in-interest, representative and assigns that occurs in connection with this TOS. This clause shall remain in full force and effect even after termination of the Agreement.

Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this TOS to the contrary, TAS including without limitation to, its affiliates, associates, representatives, contractors, employees, shall not be held liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, remote, loss of profits or revenues, loss of good will speculative or similar damages whether incurred directly or indirectly, in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the use of Site or Services. TAS is merely acting as a medium for connection between the relevant parties. For avoidance of doubt, TAS does not guarantee that the users and/or members shall successfully establish a business or obtain any specific level of investment or financial success as a result of the Services or use of Site. Furthermore, the users and members expressly agree and acknowledge through this TOS that starting a new business and securing investment involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Therefore, users and member agree to assume full responsibility for any losses or liabilities that may arise as a result of pursuing these activities and agrees not to hold the TAS responsible for any unsuccessful business ventures or unsecured investments.
