Terms of Use

1. Who this is between

1.1 Us

Influensia is operated by [COMPANY NAME] OÜ, a private limited company registered in Estonia under registry code [REGISTRY CODE], with its registered office at [STREET ADDRESS], Tallinn, Estonia and VAT number [VAT NUMBER]. In these Terms we, us and Influensia mean that company. Our designated contact point for every purpose in these Terms, including legal notices, reports of illegal content and data protection requests, is [email protected].

1.2 You

You means the person or company using Influensia. Where you act for a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind it, and these Terms bind that company as well as you personally in that capacity. A buyer is a workspace that purchases placements; a seller is a workspace that offers them. A workspace is one or the other, fixed when it is created, and both are members.

1.3 What makes up the agreement

These Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy and the Privacy Policy together form the agreement between us. Where they conflict, these Terms govern, except on questions of personal data, where the Privacy Policy governs. Any separate written agreement we sign with you overrides all of them for the matters it covers.

1.4 Accepting it

You accept this agreement by creating an account, by using the API or the MCP server with a key issued to you, or by funding an order, whichever happens first. If you do not accept it, do not use Influensia.

2. What we do, and do not do

2.1 We are an intermediary

Influensia introduces buyers to sellers, carries the order through its stages, holds the price until the work is done, and pays it out. We are not a party to the contract between a buyer and a seller. That contract is formed between them, on the terms of the listing plus the brief, and we are not liable for either side performing it.

2.2 What we are not

• Not a publisher. We do not own, control or edit the websites and channels on which placements appear. Sellers decide what they publish.
• Not an agency or a consultancy. We do not advise you on marketing, search engine optimisation, or which placements to buy. Rankings, scores, recommendations and assistant output are conveniences, not advice.
• Not a lawyer, accountant or tax adviser. Nothing on Influensia is legal, accounting or tax advice.
• Not a bank, an escrow agent in the regulated sense, or a payment institution. Money moves through Stripe, as section 5 sets out. We never take deposits and we hold no client money account.

2.3 How supply is ordered

What you see is mostly what you asked for. Listings are narrowed by the filters you set and ordered by the sort you pick. Where you have not picked one, the defaults are: markets newest first, listings inside a market by domain rating, and the domain registry newest first. Search puts matches that begin with your term ahead of matches that merely contain it. There is no hidden quality score, and a seller dispute history does not move anything up or down.

You cannot pay us money for a better position, and we do not sell advertising slots in results. There is one exception and it is visible: a seller may spend earned platform credits on a market boost, which puts one of its markets into a small, capped set of featured slots at the top of the markets list for a limited period. Boosted markets always carry a label saying so, and credits cannot be bought for money.

3. Accounts, teams and agents

3.1 Who may register

You must be at least 18 and have capacity to contract. Influensia is a service for business users, and by registering you confirm you are acting for purposes relating to your trade, business, craft or profession. You must not be subject to sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United Nations, the United Kingdom or the United States, nor located in a territory subject to comprehensive EU sanctions, and you must not use Influensia on behalf of anyone who is.

If, despite the above, mandatory consumer protection law applies to you, nothing in this agreement removes or limits the rights that law gives you. Where a clause here conflicts with such a right, the right wins and the rest of the agreement stands.

3.2 Your details must be true

Registration, workspace, billing, payout, verification and tax details must be accurate and kept up to date. We may verify them, including through domain control checks, company registry lookups and identity checks run by our payment provider, and we may restrict an account whose details cannot be verified or turn out to be false.

3.3 Security

Keep your credentials secret, enable two factor authentication, and tell us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised. You are responsible for everything done through your account until you tell us.

3.4 Teams and guests

You may invite colleagues and grant access to specific projects, campaigns and orders. Anything they do is treated as done by you, you are responsible for their compliance with this agreement, and removing someone is your job, not ours. If you invite a client or a contractor, you confirm you may share with them the information their access exposes.

3.5 API keys, MCP and AI agents

Influensia exposes a REST API and an MCP server so that software, including autonomous AI agents, can act for you. This is a real capability with real consequences, so the rule is unambiguous:

Anything done with your API key is your act. That includes creating and cancelling orders, setting briefs, moving a placement through its stages, changing whether escrow releases automatically, spending credits, and any other capability we expose to keys now or in future. An agent acting on a key you issued binds you exactly as your own click would, whether or not it behaved as you intended and whether or not you were watching. Some actions deliberately require a person in a browser instead, and we may move actions into or out of that category at any time. Issue keys narrowly, rotate them, and revoke them the moment they are no longer needed.

We may rate limit, throttle, version, deprecate or change any endpoint or tool. Where we remove or make a breaking change to a documented endpoint or MCP tool, we will give reasonable notice by email and in the developer documentation where it is practicable to do so, but we do not guarantee backward compatibility.

4. Listings and verification

4.1 What a seller promises by listing

By listing a website, a domain or a social channel, a seller warrants that it owns or is authorised to sell placements on that property, that the listing description, pricing, content requirements and link terms are accurate, that it can lawfully publish the placements it offers, and that publishing them will not breach any agreement it has with a third party, including the terms of the platform hosting a channel.

4.2 Verification is a check, not a guarantee

We verify control of a domain by a DNS record, and control of a social channel by a code placed in the profile. Company verification checks a registry entry and, where relevant, a VAT number. A verified badge means a specific check passed at a specific time. It is not a warranty of quality, solvency, honesty, or of future conduct, and it does not transfer any part of the seller obligations to us.

4.3 Third party metrics

Domain and channel metrics shown on Influensia, including authority and traffic estimates, originate with third parties such as SEO data providers and social platforms, or with the seller. They are estimates, they are frequently stale, providers disagree with one another by design, and we never present one provider figure as another. We provide them as they reach us, without any warranty of accuracy, and you must not treat them as verified fact. Where a seller connects its own data provider account, its use of that provider remains governed by its agreement with that provider.

4.4 Link and indexation checks

After a placement goes live we check that the link exists and matches the agreed terms, and we may check whether the page appears in search results. Link checks decide escrow release, as section 5 sets out. Indexation checks are advisory only. A page we have not seen in results is recorded as not seen, which is not a finding that the page is unindexed, and it never determines payment.

5. Orders, escrow and money

5.1 Forming an order

A buyer selects listings, supplies a brief, and confirms. The commercial terms of each item, including price, content requirements, whether the link is followed, whether a sponsorship label is applied, and how long the placement must remain in place, are fixed from the listing at the moment the order is created. Later edits by the seller to its listing do not change an order already created.

5.2 Our fee

We charge sellers a commission on each released item. The rate that applies to an order is fixed when the order is created and is shown before payment. Changing our standard rate, or agreeing a different rate with a particular market, never alters an order that already exists. Fees are exclusive of VAT, which we add where we are required to.

5.3 Escrow

Payment is taken when the order is funded and held until release. It is held by our payment provider, Stripe, in accounts Stripe controls. It is not a deposit with us, it is not held in trust, it earns no interest for you, and we do not lend it or use it as working capital. Card processing, payment authentication and payouts are performed by Stripe under its own agreements with you, and by using Influensia for payments you also accept those agreements. If Stripe declines, freezes, reverses or delays a payment or a payout, our ability to act is limited to what Stripe permits.

5.4 Delivery and release

Escrow for an item is released when either of the following happens:

• The buyer approves it. Approval is final and cannot be withdrawn, so check the placement before you approve.
• Automatic release. Where automatic release is switched on for the order, escrow for an item releases once the placement has been live and has passed a link check for the published waiting period, currently seven days, provided the buyer has not raised a dispute. The period and the current state are shown on the order. A buyer can switch automatic release off for an order at any time before it fires.

Release is per item. Nothing about one item in an order releases, refunds or cancels another. We may suspend release across the platform, or on an individual order, where we suspect fraud, a chargeback, sanctions exposure or a breach of this agreement.

5.5 Cancellation and refunds

Before work starts on an item, the parties may cancel it and the buyer is refunded. Once work has started, cancellation needs the agreement of both, or a decision from us under section 6. Refunds return to the original payment method. Where a placement was delivered as ordered, there is no refund because you later changed your mind, and there is no refund for the outcomes described in section 8.

5.6 Chargebacks

Raise a dispute with us before you raise one with your bank. Initiating a chargeback for an order that is in dispute or that was delivered as agreed is a breach of this agreement. We will provide our records to the card scheme, and we may suspend the account and set off the disputed amount, the scheme fees and our reasonable costs against anything we hold for you.

5.7 Seller payouts

Sellers are paid through a Stripe connected account and must complete Stripe onboarding, including identity and, where applicable, business verification, before any payout can be made. Payouts are the item price less our fee, and reach you on the schedule Stripe applies to your account and country. We may withhold a payout while an order is disputed, while a chargeback is open, where the placement has been removed in breach of the agreed duration, where we are required to by law, or where we reasonably suspect fraud or breach.

5.8 Tax

Prices are exclusive of VAT and other taxes unless stated otherwise. Each member is responsible for its own tax position, including income tax, VAT registration, invoicing and reporting in its own country. We issue invoices for our fees and for payments processed. As an operator of a digital platform we may be obliged to collect information about sellers and report it annually to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (Maksu- ja Tolliamet), which may exchange it with tax authorities elsewhere in the European Union. You agree to provide the information required for that purpose, and we may restrict an account that does not.

6. Disputes between members

6.1 Raise it on the platform

If a placement is not delivered, is not what was ordered, or is removed early, raise a dispute on the order before escrow releases. Both sides should first try to settle it in the order thread, because most of these are misunderstandings about a brief.

6.2 What we decide, and what we do not

Where the parties cannot agree, we will review the order, the brief, the agreed link terms and the verification evidence, and decide how the money we hold is allocated between them. We aim to do this within three working days of having what we need, which is a target and not a promise.

Our decision settles the escrow, not the underlying argument. We are not an arbitral tribunal, we are not a court, and we are not acting as anyone advocate. Our determination binds us and decides where the funds we hold go. It does not decide the rights of the buyer and the seller against each other, and it does not prevent either of them from pursuing the other elsewhere. We are not liable for the outcome of that argument, nor for how we allocate escrow, provided we acted in good faith.

6.3 Evidence

We may take into account automated link checks, screenshots, archived copies, message history and delivery records. Members must supply the evidence they hold. Failing to respond within a reasonable time counts against the party that stayed silent.

7. Content and rights

7.1 Your content stays yours

You keep ownership of everything you upload, write or publish on Influensia, including briefs, drafts, articles, posts, comments, messages and listings. You grant us a worldwide, non exclusive, royalty free licence to host, store, copy, adapt for formatting and display it, for as long as needed to operate the platform, provide support, keep records of what was agreed, and comply with law. For content you publish into public areas such as the community feed and public articles, that licence also covers showing it to others in and outside the app, including in search results and previews.

7.2 Commissioned content

Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, when escrow for an item is released the seller assigns to the buyer, to the fullest extent the law allows, all rights in the content specifically created for that item, subject to the seller keeping the right to publish and keep it published on the agreed property. The seller warrants that the content is original, is not published elsewhere, is not generated in a way that infringes a third party right, does not defame anyone, and is clear of any third party claim.

7.3 What buyers warrant

A buyer warrants that its brief, anchor text, target page, brand assets and any material it supplies are lawful, accurate and not misleading, that it owns or is licensed to use every trade mark and copyright work in them, and that the destination page complies with applicable advertising, consumer protection and sector rules.

7.4 Our material

The platform, its software, design, documentation and the Influensia name and marks are ours or our licensors. You get a limited, revocable, non transferable right to use the platform under this agreement, and nothing more. Do not copy, scrape, resell, frame or reverse engineer it, and do not use our marks without written permission. If you send us suggestions, we may use them freely and without owing you anything.

7.5 Illegal or infringing content

Anyone can report content on Influensia through the report control in the interface, or by writing to [email protected]. A useful report explains why the content is unlawful or breaks our rules, points to exactly where it is, and gives us a way to reach you. We review reports, we act where the report is made out, and we tell both the reporter and the affected member what we decided and why. If we remove something of yours, you can contest it by replying to that notice. We terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe.

8. Search engines and results

This section is short, blunt and central to the bargain. If you are buying placements to move search rankings, read it twice.

8.1 We promise no outcome

We do not promise, and nothing on Influensia should be read as promising, that a placement will improve your rankings, that it will be indexed, that it will be counted by any search engine, that it will send traffic, leads or revenue, or that any metric will move in any direction. You buy a placement on a page. You do not buy a result.

8.2 Search engine policies are your risk

Search engines set their own rules about links that are paid for, and those rules change without warning and are enforced at their sole discretion. A search engine may ignore a link, devalue it, treat a placement as a policy violation, apply a manual action, or remove a page or a whole site from its results. That can happen to a buyer, to a seller, or to both, and it can happen long after a placement was delivered exactly as ordered.

You accept that risk. It is your responsibility, not ours, to decide whether a given placement is compatible with the policies of the search engines you care about. We are not liable for any loss of ranking, traffic, revenue, goodwill or business arising from the action or inaction of any search engine or social platform, and such an action is not a defect in the placement and is not a ground for refund.

8.3 Disclosure is not optional

Advertising, consumer protection and media law in many countries require paid editorial content and paid endorsements to be identifiable as advertising. Those obligations sit with the buyer and the seller.

The commercial terms of a listing never override the law. Influensia lets a listing specify whether a link is followed and whether a sponsorship label is applied. Those settings describe what the parties agreed to sell and buy. They are not, and cannot be, permission to omit a disclosure that law requires. Where disclosure is required, the seller must publish it and the buyer must not ask for its removal, whatever the listing says. Neither party may rely on this agreement, or on the other party, as a defence to a regulator.

8.4 How long a placement lasts

A placement is sold either as permanent or for a stated number of months, and the term is recorded on the order. Permanent means the seller undertakes not to remove it, which is a promise by the seller and not by us. We cannot compel a seller to keep a page online, and we cannot restore a site that goes offline, is sold, or is abandoned. Where a seller removes a placement in breach of the agreed term, that is a dispute under section 6, and the remedy is against the seller. Once a stated term ends, no obligation to keep the placement live continues, and its removal after that point is not a breach.

9. Credits and plans

9.1 Credits are not money

Credits earned through quests and activity are a platform loyalty balance. They have no cash value. They are not money, not electronic money, not a payment instrument, not a security, and not property. They cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn, exchanged for cash, or transferred out of Influensia, and the only transfer between members is a tip to the author of a post or comment. They expire or are forfeited when your account closes, and we owe you nothing for a balance that lapses.

We may change the quest catalogue, the rates, the caps and what credits redeem for at any time, and we may withhold, reverse or cancel credits obtained through error, abuse, duplicate accounts, self dealing or any attempt to game the mechanics.

9.2 Plans and subscriptions

Some features require a paid plan. Plans renew automatically for the same period until cancelled, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Except where law requires otherwise, fees already paid are not refundable, including for a period you did not use. We may change plan pricing and what each plan includes on notice under section 11, and a price change never applies to a period already paid for.

10. Acceptable use

The Acceptable Use Policy is part of this agreement and sets out in detail what may not be sold, bought, published or done on Influensia. Two rules are stated here because they are commercial rather than editorial.

10.1 Do not take the deal off the platform

Where you find a counterparty through Influensia, you must transact with them through Influensia. Soliciting or accepting payment outside the platform for a placement introduced through it, in order to avoid our fee, is a material breach. It also strips both sides of escrow, verification and dispute handling, which is usually discovered when it is too late to help. Where we find it, we may terminate the accounts involved, withhold amounts we hold, and charge the fee that would have been payable.

10.2 Do not manipulate the marketplace

No fake accounts, no fake reviews, no bought or spoofed metrics, no self dealing between workspaces you control to inflate a record, and no misrepresenting the nature, traffic or audience of a property.

11. Changes

11.1 The platform will keep changing

Influensia is under active development and we intend to keep it that way. We may add, alter, redesign, reprice, limit, suspend or withdraw any feature, integration, interface, limit or piece of content at any time, for any reason, including where the change is not to your advantage. Features marked beta, preview or experimental may change or disappear without notice and carry no assurances at all. We are not obliged to keep any particular feature available, and we are not liable for changing or removing one.

11.2 We may change these Terms and the platform rules

We may amend these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Privacy Policy and any rule, limit or policy published on Influensia, to reflect new features, new law, new risks, changed costs, or a better way of saying the same thing. When we do, we publish the new version with a new version number and effective date.

11.3 Notice

For changes that materially affect you, we give at least 15 days notice by email and in the app before they take effect, and longer where you reasonably need more time to make technical changes to comply. We may make a change immediately, without that notice period, where it is required by law or by a regulator, where it addresses a security, fraud, malware or privacy risk, where it fixes an obvious error, or where it only adds a feature or is otherwise purely to your benefit.

11.4 Your options

If you do not accept a change, you may close your account before it takes effect, and we will settle anything we hold for you under this agreement. Continuing to use Influensia after the effective date means you accept the new version. You may also tell us in writing that you waive the notice period, in which case the change applies to you immediately.

11.5 Changes do not reach backwards

A change to these Terms or to our pricing never alters an order that already exists. The fee rate, the content requirements and the link terms are fixed on each order when it is created, and they stay as they were until that order is finished. Whatever we change in future, the deal you already funded is the deal you already funded.

12. Warranties and liability

12.1 The service is provided as it is

To the fullest extent the law allows, Influensia is provided as is and as available, and we exclude every implied warranty, condition and term, including any as to merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that any data, metric, score, estimate, check or AI generated output is accurate, complete or current. We do not warrant or endorse any member, listing, website, channel or placement.

12.2 AI features

The assistant, recommendations, imports and other AI assisted features generate output using automated systems, including third party models. When you use them you are interacting with an AI system, not a person. Output can be wrong, incomplete, outdated or fabricated while sounding confident. Check anything that matters before acting on it, and never rely on it as legal, tax, financial or professional advice. You are responsible for what you do with the output and for what your own agents do with your API keys.

12.3 What we are not liable for

Subject to clause 12.5, we are not liable for:

• the acts, omissions, insolvency, honesty or performance of any other member, including a seller who does not deliver and a buyer who does not pay;
• any decision, policy, penalty, devaluation or removal by a search engine, social platform, hosting provider, domain registrar or advertising network;
• content published, altered or removed by a seller, or a website or channel that goes offline, changes hands or is abandoned;
• the accuracy of third party metrics, registry data, indexation signals or any estimate shown on the platform;
• acts or failures of our payment provider, including declines, holds, reversals, delays and account closures;
• loss caused by your own breach of this agreement, by your instructions, or by anything done with your credentials or API keys.

12.4 Exclusions and cap

Subject to clause 12.5, we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, anticipated savings, goodwill or reputation, for loss of or damage to data, for loss of search rankings, visibility or traffic, for business interruption, or for any indirect or consequential loss, in each case whether or not we were told it was possible.

Subject to clause 12.5, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or connected with this agreement, whether in contract, tort including negligence, or otherwise, is limited in aggregate to the greater of the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and 500 euro.

12.5 What we never exclude

Nothing in this agreement limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for intentional breach or gross negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. This clause overrides everything else in section 12.

12.6 Time limit

To the extent the law allows, any claim against us must be brought within twelve months of the date you became aware, or ought reasonably to have become aware, of the facts giving rise to it. After that the claim is barred.

12.7 You cover claims caused by you

You will indemnify us against all losses, liabilities, damages, fines and reasonable costs including legal fees that we incur from a third party claim arising out of your content, your placements, your brief, your use of the platform, your breach of this agreement or of any law, your tax position, or the acts of anyone using your account or keys. We will tell you about such a claim, let you take conduct of the defence where it is reasonable to do so, and not settle it without your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

12.8 Circumstances outside our control

Neither of us is liable for failing to perform because of something beyond reasonable control, including outages of infrastructure, hosting or payment providers, cyber attack, failure of public networks, act of a public authority, war, civil unrest, natural disaster and epidemic. Payment obligations already due are not excused.

13. Complaints and notices

13.1 Complain to us first

If you have a complaint about Influensia, including about a restriction on your account, a delisting, a decision on escrow, or our fees, write to [email protected] with the account, the order or listing concerned, and what you want us to do. We will look at it properly, reply within a reasonable time, and give you the outcome and the reasons in writing. We handle complaints in the order they arrive, and we do not charge for this.

We are a small company and are not obliged to run a formal internal complaint handling system or to name mediators in advance. We are nevertheless willing to attempt in good faith to settle a business dispute through mediation before either of us goes to court, and we will agree a mediator with you if you propose one.

13.2 Restriction, suspension and termination

We may restrict what your account can do, suspend it, or terminate it, where you breach this agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy, where we are required to by law, where your account is being used fraudulently or to harm others, where verification fails, or where continuing would expose us or our members to legal or security risk. We may also apply automatic limits, such as capping repeated automated checks, to protect the platform and its costs.

Where we restrict or suspend your account, we will give you the reasons on a durable medium, at the latest when the measure takes effect, unless the law prevents us or we are responding to an imminent risk of harm. Where we terminate your account outright, we will give you at least 30 days notice with reasons, unless you have repeatedly breached the agreement, unless we are required to act sooner by law, or unless there is an imminent risk of harm to us, to other members or to third parties. You may respond to any of these decisions by replying to the notice.

13.3 Closing your account

You may close your account in settings, once nothing is left hanging. We refuse closure while escrow is held on an order you are buying or selling, while a payout is on its way to you, or while you are the only owner of a workspace that has other members. Those are settled first, because closing over the top of them would strand someone else's money or leave a workspace nobody can administer.

Closing erases you, not the record. Your name, email address, profile and every means of signing in are destroyed, your public posts and comments are withdrawn, your articles are unpublished, your markets are archived and your credits are forfeited. Orders, order items, payments, payouts, refunds and invoices are kept, with your identity removed from them. We are required to keep those for seven years, and the people you traded with need the record of what they bought. Reviews you left stay as well, anonymised, so a seller does not lose their rating history because a buyer left.

Sections 5.6, 6.2, 7.1, 7.4, 8, 12, 13 and 14 survive, together with any clause which by its nature should. Retention periods are in the Privacy Policy.

13.4 Notices

We give you notice by email to your registered address, or in the app. You give us notice at [email protected], and for formal legal notice also in writing to the registered office in clause 1.1. Notice by email is treated as received on the next working day.

14. General, law and venue

14.1 Data protection

How we handle personal data as controller is set out in the Privacy Policy. Where you upload personal data about your own staff, clients or contacts, you are the controller of it, we process it for you in order to provide the platform, and we will enter into a data processing agreement with you on request.

14.2 Confidentiality

Each of us will keep confidential the non public information the other shares, use it only for this agreement, and protect it as carefully as its own. This does not cover information that is already public, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law or a court.

14.3 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer this agreement without our written consent. We may assign or transfer it, in whole or in part, to a group company or in connection with a merger, financing, reorganisation or sale of the business or its assets, provided your rights under it are not materially reduced.

14.4 The usual machinery

• Entire agreement. This agreement is the whole agreement between us on its subject and replaces anything said or written before. Neither of us relies on any statement not set out in it, though nothing excludes liability for fraud.
• Severability. If a clause is unenforceable, it is modified to the least extent needed to make it enforceable, or if that is impossible it is severed, and the rest stands.
• No waiver. Not enforcing something once does not waive it.
• No partnership. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, franchise or employment relationship, and neither of us may bind the other.
• Third parties. Nobody other than you and us has rights under this agreement.
• Language. This agreement is written in English. If we publish a translation and it conflicts, the English version governs.

14.5 Governing law and jurisdiction

This agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of it or its subject matter, including non contractual ones, is governed by Estonian law, excluding its conflict of laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts of Estonia have exclusive jurisdiction, and the venue is Harju County Court (Harju Maakohus), Tallinn, Estonia. Either of us may still seek urgent injunctive relief in any court with jurisdiction. Where mandatory law gives you the right to sue or be sued in the courts of your own country, that right is unaffected.
