Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Encore Influence website or the Encore Creator Discovery Engine (together, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

2. Description of Service

The Encore Creator Discovery Engine is an internal creator discovery and campaign research tool operated by Encore Influence. It supports creator research, relevance evaluation, content and category analysis, campaign suitability assessment and internal campaign planning.

The Service is intended primarily for Encore Influence’s internal campaign and creator marketing team. Access to non-public areas may be limited to authorized personnel.

3. YouTube API Services

The Service uses YouTube API Services. It currently uses the YouTube Data API v3 through API-key-authenticated, read-only requests for publicly available channel and video metadata.

By accessing or using functionality that relies on YouTube API Services, users also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Use of that functionality is also subject to the applicable YouTube API Services Terms of Service and Developer Policies. You may review the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Permitted Use

You may use the Service only for lawful business purposes, in accordance with these Terms, applicable law and any access restrictions communicated by Encore Influence.

You must not:

• Misuse, disrupt, damage or interfere with the Service or its supporting systems.
• Bypass or attempt to bypass access controls, security measures, rate limits or usage restrictions.
• Use unauthorized or unlawful automation, scraping or data collection methods.
• Use the Service to infringe, misappropriate or violate another person’s rights.
• Misrepresent the source, meaning or status of YouTube API Data or independently generated Encore Influence assessments.

5. YouTube Content and Data

Rights in YouTube content and API Data remain with YouTube and the applicable creators, licensors or other rights holders. Encore Influence does not claim ownership of YouTube content or API Data.

YouTube API Data may change, be corrected, be removed or become unavailable at any time. Public counts and other metadata may be delayed, hidden or incomplete. Users must not treat the Service as the authoritative source for the continuing availability or status of YouTube content.

6. No Affiliation or Endorsement

Encore Influence is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by YouTube or Google unless expressly stated otherwise. References and links to YouTube or Google identify third-party services and policies; they do not imply a partnership or endorsement.

7. Intellectual Property

Encore Influence and its licensors retain all rights in the Service’s software, design, branding, documentation and original content, excluding third-party content and data. Subject to these Terms, authorized users receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for its intended internal business purpose.

8. Availability and Changes

We may maintain, modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service, or change its features and access requirements. We will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary disruption, but we do not promise that the Service or third-party data will always be available, current or error-free.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Service provides research support and does not guarantee creator availability, campaign performance or a particular business result. Assessments require professional judgment and should be considered with the relevant campaign context.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties that cannot reasonably be given for an internal research tool or third-party data source. Encore Influence will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from use of or inability to use the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

10. Privacy

Our handling of information, including public YouTube API Data, is described in the Encore Influence Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, our practices, legal requirements or applicable platform policies. The revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
