Terms of Service & Sale
Last updated: 2026
These Terms of Service & Sale ("Terms") govern your access to and use of The Influist, including the website, reports, PDFs, report pages, data outputs, written analysis, and related services we provide (collectively, the "Service").
The Service is operated by Alt Signal, LLC d/b/a The Influist ("The Influist," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing the Service, purchasing, unlocking, downloading, receiving, or using a report, or clicking to obtain a report, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service or purchase, access, or use any report.
If you use the Service on behalf of a company, agency, brand, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. In that case, "you" includes both you individually and the organization you represent.
1. Who we are
The Influist is a cultural-intelligence and market-research service operated by Alt Signal, LLC.
Contact: hello@theinfluist.com
2. What the Service provides
The Influist produces reports that estimate cultural affinity, reach, and audience adjacency between a seed set of brands, creators, people, or other cultural entities and other public figures, creators, brands, publications, places, organizations, and entities.
Reports are based on entity-to-entity co-occurrence patterns and related analytical outputs. All figures are directional estimates, not precise measurements.
Reports are not surveys, audience panels, follower counts, consumer reports, lead lists, contact lists, or guarantees of audience size, consumer behavior, business performance, or individual intent.
Written analysis, category names, cluster names, and interpretive summaries may be generated or assisted by automated systems and may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, misclassifications, or mischaracterizations.
You are responsible for independently reviewing and verifying any information before relying on it.
3. Orders, pricing, payment, and taxes
Reports are offered at the price shown at the point of purchase, plus any applicable taxes or fees.
By submitting an order, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your selected payment method for the amount shown at checkout.
Prices may change at any time. Price changes will not affect orders already completed.
You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or other governmental charges that apply to your purchase, except for taxes based on our income.
We may refuse, cancel, or limit any order at our discretion, including where we suspect fraud, abuse, unauthorized use, or violation of these Terms.
4. Digital delivery and refunds
Reports are digital products made available electronically.
Because reports are delivered, generated, unlocked, downloaded, or otherwise made accessible shortly after purchase, all sales are final and non-refundable once a report has been unlocked, generated, delivered, downloaded, or accessed, except where required by law.
If a report fails to deliver because of a technical fault on our side, contact us at hello@theinfluist.com. At our discretion, we may restore access, regenerate the report, provide a replacement, or refund the affected order.
We do not provide refunds because you disagree with a report's analysis, rankings, estimates, recommendations, category names, cluster names, methodology, or usefulness for your particular business purpose.
5. License to use reports
Subject to your payment and compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use purchased reports for your own internal business purposes.
Reports are licensed, not sold.
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, your license does not allow you to resell, redistribute, publish, syndicate, sublicense, commercially exploit, or publicly post any report or substantial portion of a report.
6. Restrictions
You may not, directly or indirectly:
- resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish, upload, post, or publicly share any report or substantial extract from a report;
- share access credentials, magic links, private report links, or purchased PDFs outside your organization;
- remove, obscure, or alter any attribution, watermark, copyright notice, license notice, or "licensed to" label;
- scrape, crawl, harvest, download in bulk, or systematically extract data from the Service;
- use the Service or reports to build, train, evaluate, benchmark, or improve any machine-learning model, AI system, database, recommendation engine, audience graph, or competing or substantially similar product;
- reverse engineer, decompile, copy, or attempt to derive the underlying methodology, ranking logic, data structure, source data, prompts, models, or systems used by the Service;
- use the Service in a way that violates any applicable law, regulation, third-party right, platform rule, or contractual obligation;
- use any report to harass, stalk, defame, threaten, discriminate against, or otherwise harm any person or entity;
- use any report as a factor in determining a person's eligibility for employment, credit, insurance, housing, education, benefits, or any other regulated eligibility purpose;
- use any report for unlawful spam, unsolicited outreach, unlawful profiling, or unlawful data enrichment; or
- attempt to interfere with, disrupt, compromise, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or related systems.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, reports, report structure, report design, written analysis, rankings, clusters, compilations, arrangement of data, software, interfaces, branding, trade dress, methodology, and all related materials are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property and other laws.
Except for the limited license expressly granted in these Terms, we reserve all rights in and to the Service and reports.
Third-party names, marks, logos, profile links, likenesses, and references appearing in reports belong to their respective owners. Their inclusion is factual, nominative, and analytical. It does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, authorization, affiliation, participation, or approval by those people, brands, organizations, or rights holders.
You may not use our name, marks, branding, or report excerpts in public marketing, press, investor materials, case studies, or promotional materials without our prior written permission.
8. Estimates, automated analysis, and no reliance
Reports are analytical outputs based on co-occurrence patterns, modeling, and automated or semi-automated interpretation.
All affinity, reach, rank, cluster, category, and recommendation outputs are estimates. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, biased by available data, misclassified, or unsuitable for your intended use.
The inclusion of any person, creator, brand, publication, place, organization, or entity in a report does not mean that they:
- know about The Influist;
- know about you;
- follow, purchase from, endorse, or have a relationship with any seed brand;
- are available, reachable, interested, reputable, brand-safe, or appropriate for your campaign;
- have consented to be contacted by you; or
- endorse, sponsor, approve of, or are affiliated with The Influist or any customer.
You are solely responsible for how you interpret, verify, use, distribute internally, operationalize, or act on any report.
9. No guaranteed outcomes
We do not guarantee that any report will produce or improve any business, marketing, sales, partnership, creator, media, investment, strategic, or operational outcome.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not guarantee:
- campaign performance;
- brand lift;
- sales lift;
- conversion lift;
- customer acquisition;
- audience growth;
- media efficiency;
- creator response rates;
- partnership success;
- suitability of any person or entity;
- brand safety;
- reputational safety;
- legal compliance of your use case;
- accuracy or completeness of any third-party information; or
- usefulness for any particular business decision.
You are solely responsible for your decisions, campaigns, outreach, investments, partnerships, positioning, research conclusions, and other actions based on or related to a report.
10. Not professional advice
The Service and reports are provided for general informational, cultural-intelligence, and market-research purposes only.
Reports do not constitute legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, employment, compliance, marketing, advertising, public-relations, brand-safety, or other professional advice.
You should consult qualified professionals before making decisions that require professional judgment.
11. Not a consumer report
The Influist is not a consumer reporting agency.
Reports are not "consumer reports" under the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA") or similar laws.
You agree not to use the Service or any report, in whole or in part, as a factor in establishing any individual's eligibility for employment, credit, insurance, housing, education, benefits, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA or analogous laws.
You also agree not to use the Service or any report to make adverse, discriminatory, consequential, or eligibility-related decisions about any individual.

- all consequences of your outreach, partnerships, campaigns, publications, or business decisions.
Any outreach, contact, campaign, partnership, or other activity you conduct using or inspired by a report is your sole responsibility.
13. Third-party links and information
The Service and reports may contain links to third-party websites, social profiles, publications, platforms, or other resources.
We do not control and are not responsible for third-party websites, content, data, availability, accuracy, policies, or practices.
Links and references are provided for convenience and analysis only and do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or approval.
14. No warranties
The Service and all reports are provided "as is" and "as available."
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, availability, security, and freedom from errors or interruptions.
We do not warrant that the Service or any report will meet your requirements, be accurate or complete, be uninterrupted or error-free, remain available, or be suitable for any particular use.
You use the Service and reports at your own risk.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Alt Signal, LLC d/b/a The Influist and its owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, service providers, licensors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, enhanced, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, reputation, data, or use, arising out of or relating to the Service, any report, or these Terms.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service, any report, or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid for the specific report giving rise to the claim.
The limitations above apply whether the claim is based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
16. No indemnity from us
We do not provide any indemnity, defense, or hold-harmless obligation to you, your organization, your clients, your customers, your partners, or any third party.
You are responsible for your use of the Service and reports, including any claims, disputes, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from your use, interpretation, distribution, outreach, campaigns, decisions, or other activities.
17. Your indemnification of us
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Alt Signal, LLC d/b/a The Influist and its owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, service providers, licensors, and affiliates from and against any claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to:

We reserve the right to control the defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
18. Suspension and termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service or any report at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk for us or others, misused the Service, shared access improperly, attempted to scrape or reverse engineer the Service, or used reports for prohibited purposes.
Upon termination, your right to access and use the Service and reports will end immediately.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections relating to intellectual property, restrictions, disclaimers, no warranties, limitation of liability, no indemnity from us, your indemnification of us, governing law, and dispute venue.
19. Changes to the Service or Terms
We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or limit the Service, reports, features, pricing, availability, or content at any time.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
Your continued access to or use of the Service or reports after updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
20. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
You agree that the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or any report, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
You and we each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
21. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and any checkout terms presented at purchase, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and reports.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, restructuring, or by operation of law.
No person or entity other than you and us has any right to enforce these Terms, except that our owners, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, service providers, licensors, and affiliates are intended beneficiaries of the protections, disclaimers, limitations, and indemnities in these Terms.
