Code of Conduct

Code Of Conduct

UMAX is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all participants, regardless of their gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion (or lack thereof), or other protected category. Both the company and the people we represent — our employees, startups, directors, sponsors, speakers, attendees — must hold themselves to the highest standards as members of the UMAX community.
We recognize that each of us is an ambassador for UMAX and reflects the organization and its values in our actions. As part of the UMAX global community, we must always act justly and respectfully. Those who do not abide by this Code of Conduct may be removed from the community and/or organization. All employees, directors, outsource supporters, participants, guests, and team members of UMAX are required to abide by this code of conduct. We will enforce this code throughout any activity, gatherings and workshops regulated by UMAX.

Our reputation as a company that our community can trust is our most valuable asset, and it is up to all of us to make sure that we continually earn that trust.

Privacy Policy
