Terms of Use

EcoQuant is a free tool, provided as is. Here is what that means, in plain terms.

This is an English translation provided for convenience; in case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.

Last updated: November 5, 2026

1. Purpose

These terms govern the use of the “EcoQuant” browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Brave) and of this website, published by Damien Pino, an independent developer (see the legal notice). By installing or using the extension, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, simply uninstall the extension.

2. Free of charge and license

The extension is completely free: no account, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no advertising. Its source code is published on GitHub under the MIT license: you may freely use, copy, modify and redistribute it, provided that you retain the copyright notice and the license text.

Copyright (c) 2026 Damien Pino. The software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied (excerpt from the MIT license).

3. Provided “as is”

The extension is a personal project, developed and maintained on a volunteer basis. It is provided as is, with no guarantee of continuous operation, freedom from errors, accuracy of data or fitness for a particular purpose. It may evolve, be modified or cease to be maintained at any time, without notice.

4. No investment advice

Risk warning. Trading currencies (forex), indices, commodities, CFDs and cryptocurrencies carries a high risk of capital loss, which may exceed your initial stake when leverage is used. Only trade money you can afford to lose.

EcoQuant is an information and organization tool. Neither the extension, nor the calendar, nor the “better / worse than expected” indications, nor the position size calculator constitute investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell, or an inducement to trade. The calculator's results are indicative only: the pip or point value, contract size and lot step depend on your broker and must be checked with them. You remain solely responsible for your trading decisions.

5. Reliability of alerts

The extension does its best to warn you in time, but an alert may be late, incomplete or missed, in particular if:

  • the browser is closed, or the computer is asleep or offline (alerts only work while the browser is open, even minimized);
  • notifications are blocked by the operating system (“Do Not Disturb” mode, Windows / macOS settings);
  • data from third-party providers is late, wrong, changed or unavailable (rescheduled times, an announcement added or canceled, a figure published late);
  • Investing.com rejects or blocks requests (anti-bot protection): the extension then switches to Forex Factory, which does not provide the actual figure and only covers the current week;
  • a provider changes the format of its data, which may make the extension temporarily inoperative.

Do not rely exclusively on the extension for important decisions: check the calendar against an official source.

6. Third-party data and non-affiliation

The economic calendar comes from Investing.com and Forex Factory (public feed nfs.faireconomy.media); exchange rates come from the European Central Bank via api.frankfurter.dev. This data belongs to its respective owners and is retrieved directly by your browser. It is displayed for information purposes, with no guarantee of accuracy or availability.

EcoQuant is neither affiliated with, partnered with, nor endorsed by Investing.com, Forex Factory (Fair Economy, Inc.), Frankfurter or the ECB. It is your responsibility to comply with the terms of use of these services. Chrome is a trademark of Google LLC, Edge of Microsoft Corporation, and Brave of Brave Software, Inc.; the extension is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by these companies.

7. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, the publisher shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damage (including financial loss, loss of opportunity or loss of profit) resulting from the use of or inability to use the extension, a missed or late alert, or inaccurate data. Nothing in these terms excludes any liability that cannot legally be excluded.

8. Personal data

The extension does not collect any personal data and sends nothing to its publisher. Everything is explained in the privacy policy.

9. Changes

These terms may be updated, for example when a feature is added. The date of the last update appears at the top of the page. Continuing to use the extension after a change constitutes acceptance of the new version. These terms are governed by French law.
