The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2002 (ECTA) asks online sellers in South Africa to tell you who they are and how their sales work. This page gives you that information. The same words are used in all ASM documents: see "Words we use" at the end.
1. Who we are
Name
ASM (Anti Social Media)
What ASM is
An independent creative project: a clothing and art brand with digital wearables, a 3D web game (the Offline District) and a collector community
Legal status
ASM is run by its founder from South Africa. It is not a registered company at the time of writing, so it has no company registration number. If that changes, this page will show the new details.
Founder
The ASM founder, known publicly as TheOak (@TheOak_ASM on X)
ASM is an online-only project and has no shop or office that is open to the public. To send us a formal or legal notice, use the channels in section 2. If you need a physical address to serve legal papers, ask us through those channels and we'll give you one.
VAT
ASM is not registered for VAT at the time of writing, so no VAT is charged.
Industry bodies and codes of conduct
ASM isn't a member of any self-regulatory body and hasn't signed up to a code of conduct.

ASM staff will never ask for your wallet's secret key, seed or recovery phrase. Anyone who does is a scammer.
