Terms of Use

TavaSIS — tavasis.com · Operated by ZYT Pte. Ltd.

Last updated: June 2026 · Governed by the laws of Singapore

1. About These Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the TavaSIS platform (“Platform”), operated by ZYT Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore (“ZYT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By creating an account or accessing the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

These Terms apply to all users of the Platform, including tourism businesses (“Clients”), sustainability consultants and consulting firms (“Consultants”), and any other authorised users.

2. What TavaSIS Does

TavaSIS is a certification workflow management platform that helps tourism businesses and their consultants manage the documentation and evidence process for GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) sustainability certification.

Important limitation: TavaSIS is a workflow and documentation management tool. It does not certify tourism businesses. Certification is conducted exclusively by GSTC-accredited Certification Bodies (“CBs”), which are independent of ZYT and TavaSIS. The Platform helps organise and structure documentation; whether that documentation meets a CB's assessment requirements is determined solely by the CB through their independent audit process. TavaSIS does not guarantee certification outcomes.

3. Accounts and Access

3.1 Account types

The Platform supports the following account roles:

  • Client accounts — tourism businesses who own and manage their certification projects on the Platform. Clients are the primary users of TavaSIS: they complete performance indicators, attach evidence, and track progress through the certification workflow. Clients may work independently or with the support of an external Consultant.
  • Consultant / Firm accounts — sustainability consulting firms and their team members who support Client tourism businesses through the certification process. Consultants access Client projects by invitation, providing guidance, reviewing evidence, and signing off on completed work. Consultants do not own Client projects; their access is granted by and subject to the Client relationship.
  • Administrator accounts — ZYT staff managing the Platform.

3.2 Account responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must not share your account with others or allow unauthorised access. You must notify us immediately at service@tavasis.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

3.3 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the authority to bind your organisation (if registering on behalf of a business) to use the Platform.

3.4 Free tier

A free tier covering the Readiness Stage is available to tourism businesses without a subscription. Features available under the free tier are limited and described on the Platform. ZYT reserves the right to modify or discontinue the free tier at any time with reasonable notice.

4. Consultant and Client Relationships

4.1 Independent relationship

The relationship between a Consultant and their Client is independent of ZYT. ZYT is not a party to any consulting engagement, certification process, or professional service agreement between a Consultant and a Client. Consultants are independent practitioners and not employees or agents of ZYT.

4.2 Consultant representations

By using the Platform as a Consultant, you represent that you have the necessary qualifications, expertise, and authorisations to provide sustainability consulting services to your Clients and to use the Platform for that purpose.
