Legal

Terms of Service

Effective Date: [DATE OF LAUNCH]  ·  Last Updated: [DATE OF LAUNCH]

Welcome to Pinfluence. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Pinfluence LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Pinfluence,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and they govern your access to and use of the Services.

  • The pinfluencing.com website and any of its subdomains

  • The Pinfluence Discover application (app.pinfluencing.com)

  • The Pinfluence Intel application (intel.pinfluencing.com)

  • All Pinfluence memberships, including The Huddle and The Inner Huddle

  • Any other products, courses, tools, or services offered under the Pinfluence brand (collectively, the “Services”)

By accessing or using any of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Services.

1. Independence from Pinterest, Inc.

Pinfluence is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Pinterest, Inc. We are an independent business. “Pinterest®” is a registered trademark of Pinterest, Inc., and is used here only for descriptive and nominative-fair-use purposes. We do not represent Pinterest, Inc., and Pinterest, Inc. does not represent us.

2. Eligibility

To use the Services, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction)

  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract

  • Not be prohibited from using the Services under applicable law

  • Provide accurate registration information and keep it current

If you’re using the Services on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Your account

You’re responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials

  • All activity that happens under your account, whether or not you authorized it

  • Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access

We may suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you’ve violated these Terms, used the Services in a way that creates legal exposure or operational burden for us, or otherwise engaged in conduct we determine in our reasonable discretion is harmful to other users or to us.

4. Subscriptions, billing, and renewals

4.1 Plan selection and pricing

Pinfluence offers tiered subscription plans. The current plans, prices, and entitlements are described on our Pricing page and incorporated into these Terms by reference. Prices may change for new customers at any time, but founding rates lock in for life as long as your subscription remains continuous (see Section 4.4).

4.2 Payment processing

All payments are processed through ThriveCart, which uses Stripe and/or PayPal as the underlying payment processor. Your payment information is collected and stored by these third-party processors, not by us. By completing a purchase, you authorize us (through ThriveCart) to charge your selected payment method for the amounts due.

4.3 Automatic renewal (California Automatic Renewal Law compliance)

Annual and monthly subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the then-current price.

For California residents, in accordance with the California Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17600 et seq.):

  • We provide clear and conspicuous disclosure of the auto-renewal terms before you complete your purchase

  • We send an acknowledgment email after each purchase confirming the subscription, the renewal date, and how to cancel

  • We send a renewal reminder email between 15 and 45 days before each annual renewal

  • You can cancel your subscription at any time through your account dashboard or by emailing info@pinfluencing.com

4.4 Lifetime founding rate lock

If you join during a publicly announced founding pricing window, your founding rate is locked for the life of your continuous subscription. If you cancel and rejoin later, you’ll pay the then-current standard rate. We are not obligated to honor an old founding rate on a rejoined account.

4.5 Refunds

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, summarized here:

  • Annual plans: 30-day money-back guarantee from the date of initial purchase or renewal

  • Monthly plans: No refund window. Cancel anytime to stop future billing.

  • One-time digital products (mini-courses, template packs): 7-day refund window if unused

To request a refund, email info@pinfluencing.com within the applicable window.

4.6 Failed payments

If your payment method fails, we may retry the charge and notify you. If we can’t successfully process payment within a reasonable period, we may suspend or downgrade your account.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Services in violation of any applicable law or regulation

  • Use the Services to violate the rights of any third party (including intellectual property rights)

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code from the Services

  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Services in ways that exceed what’s authorized by your subscription plan

  • Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit Pinfluence data, content, or features without our written permission

  • Use the Services to harass, harm, or impersonate others

  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems or networks without prior written authorization

  • Interfere with other users’ use of the Services

  • Use the Services to create a competing product

Violations may result in immediate suspension or termination, with no refund.

6. Service-specific terms

The Services include products with distinct functions. Service-specific terms apply in addition to these Master Terms:

  • Pinfluence Discover Terms (governs the Discover keyword research application)

  • Pinfluence Intel Terms (governs the Intel analytics preservation application)

These are linked from your account dashboard within each application. In case of conflict between the Master Terms and a Service-specific term, the Service-specific term controls for that Service only.

7. Intellectual property

7.1 Our IP

Pinfluence, including all software, designs, mascots (Pinguino), brand marks, written content, course materials, templates, research, and proprietary data, is owned by Pinfluence LLC or our licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal or business use, subject to these Terms.

You may not copy, redistribute, resell, or republish any Pinfluence content, courses, templates, or proprietary data without our written permission, except as expressly permitted by your subscription plan.

7.2 Your content

You retain ownership of any content you upload to the Services (CSV files, account data, tracked lists, etc.). By uploading content, you grant Pinfluence a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, store, process, analyze, and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you.

You also grant us a license to use anonymized and aggregated versions of your uploaded data for research, product improvement, and published research articles, provided that no individual user, account, or pin can be identified from the published research. See our Privacy Policy for more.

7.3 Third-party content

Pinterest and other third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Our use of these marks is descriptive and does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

8. Pinterest data and public information

Pinfluence Discover aggregates publicly available Pinterest data through automated public-data collection. We do not access Pinterest user accounts, use Pinterest’s authorized API, or use any authenticated method to retrieve data. Our position on automated collection of publicly accessible web data is consistent with established legal precedent, including hiQ Labs, Inc. v. LinkedIn Corp., 9th Circuit (2019).

Pinfluence Intel relies on manual CSV uploads that users export from their own Pinterest analytics dashboards. Pinfluence Intel does not access Pinterest accounts directly, does not authenticate against Pinterest APIs, and does not collect data that Pinterest has not authorized the user to download.

If a Pinterest user or rightsholder has a concern about a specific piece of public Pinterest data used by Pinfluence, contact us at info@pinfluencing.com. We will review and respond.

9. Affiliate program

If you participate in the Pinfluence Affiliate Program, you also agree to the rules at Affiliate Program. Affiliates are responsible for FTC-compliant disclosure of affiliate relationships on all promotional content.

10. Disclaimers

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or trade practice.

We do not guarantee specific results. Pinterest performance, traffic, revenue, or any other outcome depends on factors outside our control (Pinterest’s algorithm, your niche, content quality, competition, seasonality, market conditions). Results vary.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. The Services may be down for maintenance, updates, or causes outside our reasonable control.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pinfluence’s total cumulative liability arising out of or related to your use of the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $100.

In no event will Pinfluence be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages (including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill), even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limitations, in which case they apply only to the extent permitted.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pinfluence LLC, its officers, members, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third-party rights, or (d) any content you upload or submit.

13. Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account dashboard or by emailing info@pinfluencing.com. Cancellation stops future billing but does not entitle you to a refund except as expressly provided in our Refund Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms or if continued provision of the Services becomes impractical for us. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, dispute resolution) will survive.

Upon termination:

  • Your access to the paid Services ends immediately

  • Your uploaded data is retained for 12 months after cancellation, then auto-deleted (you may request immediate deletion at any time)

  • Stolen pin monitoring stops immediately

  • MCP access tokens are revoked

14. Modifications to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify active subscribers by email and post the updated Terms with a new “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

16. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Service-specific Terms, and any plan-level addenda) constitute the entire agreement between you and Pinfluence regarding the Services.

  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.

  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.

  • Assignment. You can’t assign these Terms without our written consent. We can assign these Terms to a successor entity or affiliate.

  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control.

  • Notices. Notices to us go to info@pinfluencing.com. Notices to you go to the email associated with your account.
