Terms of Service & Client-Side Agent Agreement
Effective Date: October 3, 2026 • Jurisdiction: European Union / International • Version 1.3
Summary of Key Provisions
By registering, accessing, or utilizing the Pinsonar platform, you agree to these Terms. Please pay special attention to the following core tenets:
- Client-Side Agent Execution: You authorize the platform's distributed agent subsystem to collect publicly accessible geo-intelligence and mapping snippets on your behalf from your authenticated client sessions.
- Public B2B Data Only: The service indexes publicly available commercial listings (companies, addresses, public reviews, local rankings). No personal consumer data or private data is targeted.
- Fair Use & Quotas: Strict scan cooldowns and quota rules are enforced to protect upstream services and guarantee platform stability. Circumventing limits via multi-accounting is prohibited.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement entered into between you ("User", "You", or "Customer") and Pinsonar ("Company", "We", "Us", or "Our"), governing your access to and use of the Pinsonar B2B Geo-Analytics platform, website, APIs, client-side agents, and related software services (collectively, the "Service").
By clicking "Sign Up", creating an account, or otherwise using the Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease accessing or using the Service.
2. Description of the Service
Pinsonar is an analytical B2B SaaS platform designed for local SEO intelligence, spatial ranking auditing, competitor benchmarking, and geographic business directory analysis across major mapping and directory providers (including Yandex Maps, Google Maps, and 2GIS).
The platform provides automated ranking grids, radius visibility audits, rating trend tracking, multi-branch CRM integration, and conflict reconciliation for corporate and enterprise marketing teams.
3. Client-Side Agent & Automated Data Collection Agreement
Explicit Authorization & Agency Mandate
When you initiate an audit, scan, or background analytics task, you explicitly designate Pinsonar and its distributed client-side agent subsystem to act as your technical agent to automate the retrieval, extraction, and parsing of publicly accessible business listings and SERP ranking positions from mapping providers on your behalf.
You acknowledge and affirm that:
- All automated data collection performed via your sessions targets solely publicly indexed business listings and commercial directories that are openly available to the general public without authentication walls.
- You shall not use the Service to target, collect, or scrape non-public personal information, private user profiles, protected payment credentials, or personal communication data.
- Automated retrieval is executed within ethical bounds, respecting fair delays, rate limits, and non-disruptive query frequencies.
4. User Registration, Authentication & Security
To access analytical features, you must register for an account using a valid email address and secure credentials. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information.
- Maintain the strict confidentiality of your password, authentication tokens (JWT), and API keys.
- Promptly notify Pinsonar if you suspect any unauthorized access or security breach involving your account.
You are solely responsible for all activities and data operations conducted through your account credentials.
5. Fair Use Policy, Quotas & Anti-Abuse
To prevent abuse, resource exhaustion, and upstream disruption, Pinsonar enforces algorithmic usage limits and strict Fair-Use policies:
6. Third-Party Mapping Services & Disclaimers
Pinsonar processes data originating from independent third-party platforms (such as Yandex LLC, Google LLC, and 2GIS LLC). Pinsonar is an independent SaaS provider and is not affiliated, sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with Yandex, Google, or 2GIS.
Third-party mapping engines frequently adjust their ranking algorithms, interface structures, and geographic indexing. Pinsonar makes no guarantee of uninterrupted availability, positional immutability, or identical results across divergent physical locations.
7. Intellectual Property & Data Rights
Platform IP: The Pinsonar software, user interfaces, ranking algorithms, database schemas, documentation, and visual designs are the exclusive property of Pinsonar and its licensors, protected by international copyright and intellectual property laws.
Client Analytics: You retain ownership of your proprietary campaign definitions, keyword lists, and customized analytical reports generated through the platform. You grant Pinsonar a non-exclusive license to process such data to deliver the contracted services.
8. Subscription Tiers & Billing
Pinsonar offers both Free evaluation tiers and Paid (PRO / Enterprise) subscription plans. Paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis. Fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable mandatory consumer laws.
