Welcome to asiaresearchpartners.com (referred to as the “Site”). Your use of this website, enrollment as a panel member, or participation in any surveys offered by Asia Research Partners LLP (ARP) constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Use and Membership (“Terms”). By agreeing to these Terms, you confirm that you have reviewed and understood our Privacy Policy, which outlines how ARP collects, utilizes, and safeguards your information. 

If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, we kindly ask that you refrain from using our Site.

We (ARP) reserve the right to revise these Terms and the Privacy Policy at any time. It is essential for you to periodically review them for any updates. Your continued use of our Site following any modifications signifies your acceptance of those changes. While you adhere to these Terms, you are granted permission to access and utilize our website. However, this permission is solely for your personal use and may not be shared with others.

Eligibility

Membership in any ARP panel is free and accessible solely to individuals (excluding businesses) aged 16 or above or meeting the minimum age specified by your locality. Certain panels may impose additional age or location prerequisites. If you are under 18 and receive benefits from an incentive program, they will be directed to your legal guardian. Each participant is restricted to a single account.

Association

To engage in our surveys, you must have access to your own computer and internet connection. It’s crucial to recognize that becoming a part of our panel or completing surveys on our behalf (or our clients’) does not establish an employer-employee, partnership, or agency affiliation. You’ll be performing survey tasks as an independent contractor, and any incentives earned serve as your sole compensation.

Registration & Passwords

Browsing the Site is possible without registration, but creating an account is necessary to engage in surveys. This involves completing an online registration form with your full name, address, email address, and other requested details. Accuracy of information is crucial, as incomplete data may result in the suspension of your account.

Upon registration, you’ll receive a unique username and password. It is imperative to safeguard your password’s confidentiality and refrain from sharing it with others. You are accountable for all activities on your account, whether authorized or not. While ARP assumes no liability for unauthorized usage unless attributable to them, they encourage immediate reporting of suspicious activities.

If you forget your password, a simple reset procedure is available through email.

By enrolling in ARP’s panels, you consent to receive survey invitations via email. The frequency of invitations is not guaranteed, and participation is entirely voluntary. Declining to participate in any survey will not result in penalization.
