ZATS – Zanzibar Technology Specialists

Terms of Membership

These terms apply to everyone who registers with ZATS.

1. What ZATS is

ZATS is a professional technology community for Zanzibar. Membership and verification are a community recognition based on the information and documents you provide. They are not a government licence, a statutory professional registration or an engineering licence, and must not be presented as one.

2. Eligibility and accurate information

You may register if you study, work or innovate in technology. You must give true, complete and current information and only upload documents that belong to you and are genuine. Submitting false or altered documents leads to rejection or suspension and may be reported to the relevant authorities.

3. Membership categories and verification

• Your membership category describes your declared professional status. ZATS reviewers may change it if your documents show a different category.
• Confirming your email address does not make you a verified member. Only authorised ZATS reviewers approve professional verification.
• ZATS may ask for more documents, reject an application or withdraw verification if information turns out to be inaccurate.

4. Your reference number and digital ID

Each member receives a unique ZATS reference number that is never reissued to anyone else. Your digital ID remains the property of ZATS, may only be used to show your own membership, and stops being valid when membership is suspended, expired, revoked or deactivated. Anyone can check a membership on the ZATS verification page.

5. Community conduct

• Be respectful and professional in discussions, messages, events and mentorship.
• No harassment, discrimination, spam, scams, impersonation or sharing of other people's personal information.
• Only post opportunities that are real and lawful. Opportunities posted by members are reviewed before they appear.
• Report content that breaks these rules. Moderators may hide content and suspend accounts.

6. Fees

Membership is currently free. If ZATS introduces membership plans or fees, they will be announced in advance and will not apply to you without your agreement.

7. Suspension and ending membership

ZATS may suspend or end a membership that breaks these terms. You may ask to close your account at any time from your dashboard settings.

8. Changes

ZATS may update these terms. Important changes are announced in the member dashboard before they take effect.
