Community Terms of Use
These Terms and Conditions apply to Tech in Asia’s (“TIA”) website located at techinasia.com and all associated websites linked to techinasia.com (collectively the “Sites”). The Sites are owned and operated by TIA.
By accessing and using any part of the Sites including any services provided thereunder (the“Services”), you unconditionally agree and accept to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published (the“Operating Rules and Policies”) from time to time on the Sites by TIA, each of which is incorporated by reference and each of which may be amended and varied from time to time without notice to you. It is your responsibility to check these Terms and Conditions and the Operating Rules and Policies periodically for changes. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions and the Operating Rules and Policies, please do not access the Sites or use any of the Services provided thereunder.
TIA is committed to protecting your privacy. By submitting any personal data for use of the Services, you agree to the TIA Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms and Conditions.
Certain of the Services offered on the Sites may require you to register for an account (“Account”). You agree to provide complete, accurate and current information of yourself when registering for an Account. You agree that you shall not when registering for an Account:
- select or use as a username a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person;
- use as a username, a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without proper authorisation; or
- use as a username, a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene.
You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the information you hold for your Account, including your username, password, details of your payment method associated with your Account and all other activity that occurs under your Account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your Account or any other breach of security.
Each registration for an Account (whether a paid or free subscription) is for a single user only. You are not allowed to share your Account registration login credentials or give your Account login credentials to anyone else. We may cancel or suspend your access to your Account and the Services if you share your Account login credentials to anyone.
You can delete your own Account, as long as you do not have an ongoing subscription to any of the Services. When you delete your Account, the Account will be disabled immediately. You will not be able to log in or access the content, invoices, or payment history associated with your Account. All data will be permanently removed from our system within [90 days]. To delete your Account, please contact success@techinasia.com from the email address associated with your Account with the subject title "Please delete my Tech in Asia Account". (Note: including the associated email address in the message body of an email request sent from a different email address will not suffice for the purposes of deleting your Account.)
You agree to pay TIA any and all fees applicable to your subscription to any of the Services (“Fees”) and any other applicable fees charged by TIA from time to time in connection with the provision or use of the Services.
We reserve the right to change our Fees (including adding new Fees) from time to time, which shall be stated on the Site and which shall be binding on you if you continue to maintain or use the Services after the effective date for imposing the revised Fees.
You may cancel your subscription at any time. For a cancellation to be effective for your next subscription cycle, it must be received at least 7 days prior to the end of your next billing date, otherwise, we may not be able to stop your next payment from being deducted. To cancel a subscription, please contact subscription@techinasia.com from the email address associated with your Account with the subject line "Cancel Subscription" and include your full name in the body of your email. Following any cancellation, you will continue to have access to your subscription through the end of your current prepaid billing period.
If you opt-out of receiving any newsletters or other email communications associated with your subscription, we will not refund any subsequent subscription fees charged unless you have also canceled your subscription in line with Clause 4.3 above. Opting out of receiving newsletters or any other email communication otherwise related to your subscription does not constitute the cancellation of your subscription.
The Fees (including the fee for your subscription to the Services and any other fees) charged by TIA shall be payable in advance and are strictly non-refundable.
You acknowledge that Stripe Payments Singapore Pte Ltd (“Stripe”) will be used by TIA as the payments gateway to receive Fees for the use of Services. TIA exercises no authority or control over Stripe, and is not responsible for error by Stripe. In addition to these terms, you agree to comply with the User Agreement governing your use of Stripe’s services which are governed by the Stripe Checkout User Terms of Service.
For Singapore subscribers, Tech in Asia Pte Ltd will bear the GST charge on subscriptions. A Singapore subscription will be defined where payment is made through a Singapore issued credit card or a Singapore bank account.
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “Content” includes, without limitation, information, data, text, artworks, photographs, videos, audio clips, music, written posts, articles, comments, reviews, logos, trademarks, software, scripts, graphics, designs, user interfaces, visual interfaces and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on the Sites or through the Services. Content shall also include all User Content (as defined below).
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “User Content” shall include all Content added, created, uploaded, submitted, distributed, or posted to the Sites through the Services by users of the Sites and Services, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted.
You agree not to scrape, frame or display the Content on another website, app, blog, product or service, unless expressly permitted by TIA. The scraping, framing or in-line linking to the Services or any Content and/or the use of webcrawler, spidering or other automated means to access, copy, index, process and/or store any Content made available on or through the Services other than as expressly authorized by us is prohibited.
You further agree to abide by exclusionary protocols (e.g., Automated Content Access Protocol (ACAP), Robots.txt, etc.) that may be used in connection with the Services. You may not access parts of the Services to which you are not authorized, or attempt to circumvent any restrictions imposed on your use or access of the Services.
You agree not to rearrange or modify the Content available through our Service. You agree not to create any derivative work based on or containing the Content to modify the Content available through our Service.
You agree, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TIA, our affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees, licensors, and agents from and against any and all complaints, charges, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including lawyers’ fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) the content, including but not limited to infringement or defamation claims related to the content published on Glasswall; or (b) your breach of these terms of use or any applicable law or regulation.
You agree that Glasswall requires a free and unhindered flow of information for it to be successful. As such, you acknowledge that TIA will not remove user-posted content unless legally mandated by a Singapore Court order.
However, in line with Glasswall’s objective to encourage the free flow of information, we believe that litigation to resolve disagreements on Glasswall discourages and has a chilling effect on a free exchange of ideas. As subscribers to our platform, you agree that the reason we are able to provide you valuable insight into market sentiment is precisely because of our principles and policies that uphold these values of free speech. As such, should any dispute involving Glasswall arise, it will be resolved first through mediation at the Singapore Mediation Centre (“SMC”).
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms of use (including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination) and any dispute relating to content on Glasswall must first be submitted for mediation in accordance with SMC’s Mediation Procedure (“Mediation”) in force for the time being.
Every party to the Mediation must be represented by senior executive personnel, of at least the seniority of a Head of Department or its equivalent, with authority to negotiate and settle the dispute.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Mediator(s) will be appointed by SMC. The Mediation will take place in Singapore in the English language and the parties agree to be bound by any settlement agreement reached.
If parties are unable to reach an agreement to resolve any dispute after completing the Mediation process, the dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause.
- The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore.
- The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator.
- The language of the arbitration shall be English.
- These terms of use are governed by the laws of Singapore.
Given the unhindered flow of information on Glasswall, you agree that you have the responsibility to conduct thorough due diligence on the information obtained through it. You agree to critically assess and verify the content before making any decisions based on such information.
When submitting a review on Glasswall, whether anonymously or through your TIA registered account, you shall refrain from posting untrue content. You also agree that all information shared in a review is based on your personal experiences. You also commit to following our review guidelines.
We reserve the right, to the fullest extent permitted by the law, to take appropriate action in our sole discretion against you if you violate these terms of use, including but not limited to publishing in full any letters of demand received.
