Welcome to InfluentialSearch.com (“Website”), which is owned, operated, and controlled by Influential Search LLC (“Influential Search,” “We,” or “Us”).
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the use of the Website and any associated online products, platforms, applications, software, or services, (collectively, “Services”), by you or any entity you represent (“You” and “Your”). In some instances, both these Terms and separate terms issued and/or offered by Influential Search setting forth additional conditions may apply to specific Services offered (“Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.
By visiting the Website or otherwise using the Services in any manner, You acknowledge, accept, and agree to be bound by these Terms, including the binding arbitration terms in Section 13, and any applicable Additional Terms. You also acknowledge, agree, and consent to our data practices with respect to personal information obtained through the Website or Services as more fully described in our Privacy Policy.
By visiting the Website or otherwise using the Services, You represent and warrant that You, or any entity You own or control, or, if You are authorized to act on behalf of an entity, the entity that owns or controls You, are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (including without limitation, the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, or other applicable government authority, and not located in any country to which the United States has embargoed goods or has otherwise applied any sanctions.
Please read these terms carefully before visiting the Website or otherwise using the Services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between You and Influential Search and affect Your legal rights, responsibilities and obligations, and limit Influential Search’s liability to You. They further require You to indemnify Influential Search and agree to settle certain disputes through individual arbitration. These Terms do not affect Your mandatory statutory rights under applicable laws, to the extent that such rights apply to You and cannot be limited or excluded. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Influential Search reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change these Terms or Additional Terms at any time without notice.

Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party. If you have a dispute, first contact Influential Search here: hello@influentialsearch.com and send a written description of your claim, so that Influential Search can attempt to resolve it with You. If Influential Search does not satisfactorily resolve Your claim within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving written notice to Influential Search of your claim, then you may pursue the claim in arbitration. Neither You nor Influential Search may initiate arbitration without first following the informal dispute resolution procedure provided in this paragraph and thereafter, if the dispute is still not resolved, the party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other written notice of the intent to file for arbitration. If You are sending a written notice of your intent to file for arbitration to Influential Search, please send such notice via U.S. mail to Influential Search, ℅ United States Corporation Agents, Inc.,101 N. Brand Blvd. 11th Floor Glendale, CA 91203. If Influential Search is sending You a written notice of our intent to file for arbitration, we will send it to the last known address of record we have on file for You.
YOU AND Influential Search AGREE TO ARBITRATE – RATHER THAN LITIGATE– any and all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and Influential Search, including any parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, or agents of Influential Search, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional tort) or other legal or equitable theory (collectively “Disputes”) that arise out of or in any way relate to these Terms, any of the Services provided hereunder or any other services or products that Influential Search may offer or provide to You in connection with these Terms (including without limitation amounts that Influential Search charges You for services or products provided, any alleged breach related to the collection, retention or disclosure of your personal information, and any alleged violation of our Privacy Policy. The term “Dispute” means any and all past, present or future disputes, claims or controversies between You and Influential Search, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence or any other intentional tort) or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes, without limitation, any such disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to the validity, enforceability, interpretation and/or scope of this dispute resolution agreement, provided, however, that the term “Dispute” does not include any such disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to the validity, enforceability, interpretation and/or scope of the Class Action, Class Action Arbitration and Collective Arbitration Waivers set forth in Section 9.2 below, or whether claims to resolve any Disputes must proceed solely on an individual basis, all of which shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by an arbitrator. With that sole exception which shall be broadly construed, the term “Dispute” shall be given the broadest possible meaning. You and Influential Search also agree to arbitrate any and all Disputes that arise out of or relate in any way to any services or products provided to You by Influential Search under any other agreement. Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, You and Influential Search may bring appropriate Disputes against each other in small claims court, if the Dispute falls within the small claims court’s jurisdiction.
Class or Collective Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Collective Arbitration Waiver
You agree that all Disputes between you and Influential Search will be arbitrated individually, and that there will be no class, collective, coordinated representative, or consolidated actions in arbitration (“Class or Collective Arbitration” as more fully defined below). You further agree that any action or agreement by You to bring claims or to participate in any claims related to a Dispute in a Class or Collective Arbitration is contrary to these Terms. A Class or Collective Arbitration shall include, but is not limited to, any claim (i) to resolve a Dispute involving two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration filed by or on behalf of one or more claimants; (ii) which involves common questions of law or fact; (iii) which involves an agreement to cooperate or coordinate the arbitration demands being asserted against the same defendant(s); and (iv) is initiated at or near the same time. You agree that this Class Action Waiver and Collective Arbitration Waiver shall be binding in any arbitral proceeding. No arbitrator shall have the authority to consolidate, join, or allow the coordination of more than one (1) person’s claims or to preside over a class, collective, mass, or representative proceeding in any form. No arbitrator shall have the authority to determine the enforceability of this Section. If you or Influential Search brings a claim in small claims court, the Class Action Waiver will apply, and neither of us can bring a claim on a class or representative basis. Furthermore, neither you nor Influential Search may participate in a class or representative action as a class member if the class action asserts Disputes that would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if they were directly asserted by you or Influential Search. Both parties agree that this Class Action Waiver is an essential part of this arbitration agreement and that if this Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable by any court, then the entire arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 13 will not apply to any Disputes between you and Influential Search except for the provisions of Section 13 waiving the right to a jury trial. This Class Action and Collective Arbitration Waiver may not be severed from our arbitration agreement.
Arbitrator Authority
The arbitration between you and Influential Search will be binding. In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury. Instead, our disputes will be resolved by an arbitrator, whose authority is governed by these Terms. You and Influential Search agree that an arbitrator may only award such relief as a court of competent jurisdiction could award, limited to the same extent as a court would limit relief pursuant to these Terms. An arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs if a court would be authorized to do so and may issue injunctive or declaratory relief if that relief is required or authorized by the applicable law, but that injunctive or declaratory relief may not extend beyond you and your dealings with Influential Search. Review of arbitration decisions in the courts is very limited.
Binding Arbitration
Arbitration Procedures. You and Influential Search agree that these Terms and the Services Influential Search provides to you affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, and not state arbitration laws, applies for all Disputes. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA’s rules are available on its website at adr.orgor by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the claim asserted in arbitration is for less than $75,000, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. If the claim asserted is for $75,000 or more, the Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If there is a conflict between the AAA’s rules and this dispute resolution agreement, this dispute resolution agreement shall control. To initiate arbitration, You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing Your claims to Influential Search at hello@influentialsearch.com or via U.S. mail to Influential Search, ℅ United States Corporation Agents, Inc., 101 N. Brand Blvd. 11th Floor, Glendale, CA 91203 . You must also comply with the AAA’s rules regarding initiation of arbitration.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, You and Influential Search expressly and knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This means that a Judge rather than a Jury will decide disputes between You and Influential Search if, for any reason, the arbitration agreement is not enforced. The Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
