In these Terms, “you” and “your” mean anyone who accesses or uses our website or digital services. “TAU,” “TAU Guyana,” “Texila Guyana,” “Texila American University,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Texila American University Guyana.

By using this website, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

1. Who Operates This Website?

The website tau.edu.gy is operated by Texila American University Ltd. (RTL-0022-00-11), trading as Texila American University Guyana, located at Lot 2442, Plantation Providence, East Bank Demerara, Guyana.

Website information may be updated from time to time.

2. How May You Use the Website?

You may use the website for lawful personal, educational, informational and application-related purposes.

You must not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to TAU systems or accounts
• Introduce malware or other harmful technology
• Use the website for fraudulent or unlawful purposes
• Send spam through TAU systems
• Scrape or bulk-collect website or user information without authorisation
• Copy substantial website content for unauthorised commercial use
• Misuse TAU trademarks, logos or other intellectual property

If you create or use a TAU account, you are responsible for:

• Keeping your login credentials secure
• Providing accurate and current information
• Preventing unauthorised use of your account
• Reporting suspected unauthorised access

If you suspect unauthorised access, contact [email protected]

4. Applications and Admission

Applications must be submitted through an authorised TAU process.

Submitting an application does not guarantee admission. Admission remains subject to applicable academic, eligibility, documentation and University requirements.

Applicants and students may also receive specific documents such as:

• Admission Letters
• Enrolment Agreements
• Statements of Fees
• Student Handbooks
• Academic policies

Where a specific University document, including a Statement of Fees, Student Handbook, academic policy, enrollment document, or any other applicable university policy or agreement, governs a particular academic, enrollment, fee, payment, or student-related matter and conflicts with these general website terms, the provisions of that specific University document shall prevail with respect to that matter, to the extent of the conflict and subject to applicable law.

Accreditation does not by itself guarantee eligibility for licensing examinations, residency or a licence to practise. See our Accreditation & Regulatory Disclosure.

5. Fees and Payments

Application, admission, tuition and other fees are governed by the applicable Statement of Fees, University policies and student documentation.

Payments should only be made through bank details or payment channels officially authorised by TAU.

For further information, please read our Payment & Refund Policy.

6. Website Information

TAU makes reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current.

However, programmes, fees, academic requirements, schedules and University policies may change.

Where website information differs from an official University document issued to you, the provisions of that specific university document shall prevail in relation to that matter, to the extent of the conflict and subject to applicable law.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.

These links are provided for convenience and do not necessarily mean that TAU endorses the third-party website or its content.

Third-party websites may have their own terms and privacy practices.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, content on tau.edu.gy, including text, photographs, graphics, logos, videos, design and other material, is owned by or licensed to Texila American University.

You may use website content for legitimate personal and informational purposes.

You may not reproduce, sell, republish or commercially exploit TAU content or branding without appropriate permission.

9. User Content and LMS Use

If you submit content through a TAU portal, Learning Management System, form, forum or other digital service, you remain responsible for that content.

TAU may review or remove content where reasonably necessary to:

• Protect users or University systems
• Maintain academic and community standards
• Investigate misuse
• Enforce University policies
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations

Personal information contained in such content will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

10. Website Availability and Security

We use reasonable measures intended to protect our website and digital services.

However, no internet service can be guaranteed to operate without interruption, error or security risk.

TAU may update, restrict, suspend or discontinue website functions where reasonably necessary.

11. Disclaimer

The website is provided “as is” and “as available” for general informational purposes. While we work to keep the website accurate and available, we do not guarantee that it will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, or free from errors or viruses.

Information on the website does not constitute academic, immigration, financial, or medical advice. Nothing on the website guarantees admission, a licensing examination result, a residency placement, or a licence to practise. See our Accreditation & Regulatory Disclosure.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, TAU is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss of data, income, profit or opportunity, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website.

This does not limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be limited under the laws of Guyana. Claims about your enrolment, fees or studies are governed by your Enrolment Agreement, Statement of Fees and University policies.

13. Indemnity

You agree to compensate TAU for any loss, claim, damage or cost, including reasonable legal fees, that results from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the website or University systems, or any content you submit.

14. Events Beyond Our Control

We are not responsible for any delay or failure to provide the website or our digital services caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, epidemics, government action, power or internet failures, or cyber-attacks.

15. Governing Law and Courts

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana. The courts of Guyana have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the website. This does not remove any mandatory consumer rights you may have under the laws of the country where you live.

16. General

• Whole agreement: these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and the documents they refer to, are the whole agreement between you and TAU about your use of the website.
• Severability: if a court finds any part of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the Terms remain in force.
• No waiver: if we do not enforce any part of these Terms straight away, we can still enforce it later.
• Transfer: we may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another TAU entity. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.

17. Changes to These Terms

TAU may update these Terms to reflect changes to its services, policies, technology, security practices or applicable requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.

Where a material change significantly affects registered users, TAU may provide additional notice through an appropriate University communication channel.
