Welcome to Ft Asia Economy—the platform that doesn’t pander. We cut through the fluff to bring you straight-shooting economic insights, from Horizon Headlines to trade agreement impact and everything in between. But before you consume or contribute, we need to make a few things explicit. These Terms of Service are blunt, practical, and binding. Use our site? You’re agreeing to them. No exceptions, no excuses.
No-Nonsense Principles
We aren’t your typical newsreel. Founded by Syldric Zephorin, Ft Asia Economy was built to deliver unflinching coverage of Asian financial systems, market analysis, and global economic forecasts that matter. This isn’t entertainment. It’s essential. We expect straightforward, mature engagement. And our Terms of Service exist to protect the integrity of that mission.
Who’s Allowed In
This site’s not for trolls, plagiarists, or armchair economists looking to stir up drama. You want in? Use this platform respectfully and lawfully. Site access can be revoked at any time—no warning, no second chances. We operate out of 4961 Todds Lane, San Antonio, Texas 78231, and we hold our operations to high standards. If you can’t conduct yourself with basic decency, you’re out.
1. Content Ownership: Ours and (Sometimes) Yours
We produce in-house content—editorials, models, analysis, and original reports like monetary policy shifts and deep dives. It’s ours. Do not copy, reproduce, or redistribute it without explicit consent. Violate that, and we’ll come after you. Contribute content to Ft Asia Economy? You retain ownership, but you license it to us royalty-free, worldwide, forever. We publish it, edit it, feature it—you can’t undo that once it’s live.
2. Acceptable Use: Don’t Wreck the Platform
No bots. No scraping data. No false identities. No misinformation. Don’t misuse the social sentiment tracker or inject spin into our analytical tools. Don’t harass, bully, or disrupt discussions. We won’t tolerate sabotage or shady behavior. Actions have consequences here—and we enforce them.
3. Privacy Isn’t Optional—It’s Policy
Your personal data isn’t a bargaining chip. We treat it as confidential. See our full Privacy Policy for unambiguous info on data handling. Use our services? You accept the terms. Want out? Don’t visit the site. Simple.
4. Yes, There Are Cookies. No, We’re Not Sneaky About It.
We use cookies. They optimize your experience and tell us what’s working on our site. Read the Cookie Policy if you’re curious. Don’t approve of it? Disable cookies in your browser. We won’t sugarcoat it—your visit may suffer.
5. No Guarantees. Just Real Data.
Everything we publish—from future-state forecasts to audience metrics—is based on vetted research, but it doesn’t constitute financial advice. Use your head and do your due diligence. We’re not liable for poor investment decisions or misinterpretations.
6. Community Standards: Cut the Nonsense
We won’t host hostile exchanges, conspiracy-laced rants, or manipulative comments. Take that junk elsewhere. See our Commitment to Fair and Positive Interaction. Break the code? You’ll lose access permanently.
7. We Update. You Stay Informed.
This isn’t a static platform. Our Terms of Service change when our operations do. When updates occur, they’re effective immediately—no prior notice required. Bookmark this page. Revisit it. Stay alert. Continued use signals agreement with the latest version.
8. We Link Strategically, Not Randomly
We may guide you to external sources. Those are not endorsements. They don’t follow our standards, and we aren’t responsible for their failures. Want curated connections instead? Check out sections like Guided By Passion and Ideas Stage. We only link where it matters.
9. Contribute? Be Ready to Be Evaluated Hard
If you’re submitting content to Ft Asia Economy, expect scrutiny. We take editorial integrity seriously. Articles pass through an uncompromising vetting process. Contributing to our We Build Tomorrow initiative or Digital Empathy Network? Show your work. We’ll ask questions—and reject content that doesn’t meet the mark.
10. Legal Jurisdiction: Texas Rules Apply
All Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA. Any litigation arising out of your interaction with Ft Asia Economy will be heard in San Antonio courts. You waive any objections to venue or jurisdiction. You enter this contract willingly or not at all.
11. Support Exists—Use It Responsibly
Need help? Contact us with real questions and relevant issues. Spam or rage emails go in the trash. Our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Call us at +1 210-478-5852 or email [email protected]. For faster answers, you can also use the Support Connect portal.
Final Word: Respect the Work, Respect the People
At Ft Asia Economy, we exist to inform with precision, not entertain with noise. From headline overviews to detailed reports on regional policy shifts, we operate with zero-tolerance for disinformation and distraction. Engage wisely. Use this platform as intended. And if all that sounds fair, welcome aboard.
