Welcome to New York Curated. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of our website newyorkcurated.com (the “Service”), which is operated by New York Curated LLC (“we”, “our”, or “us”), a New York limited liability company.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on the Service—including our visual design, typography, color palettes, navigation architecture, component layouts, animations, interactive states, copywriting, databases, and proprietary code—is owned by New York Curated LLC or used with express permission. The overall look and feel, UX/UI flows, curated collections, and methodology behind how we present information form part of our protected intellectual property.

You are expressly prohibited from copying, reproducing, distributing, mirroring, or creating derivative works that draw from our website design, layout, data structure, collection of curated listings, or our software, including React components, styling systems, and content schemas, without prior written consent.

Some images on the Website may not be owned by us and may belong to third parties. If you believe an image is used inappropriately, please contact us for removal and we will promptly address the concern.

We maintain version-controlled design documentation, prototypes, editorial style guides, and code repositories that evidence our original creation, authorship, and ownership of the New York Curated experience.

3. Limited License Grant

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license allows you to browse the site, read articles, and save links for your own informational purposes.

This license does not confer any ownership or intellectual property rights. You may not reproduce, publish, modify, translate, distribute, transmit, display, perform, license, or otherwise exploit any portion of the Service, nor may you prepare derivative works, training data sets, or design systems based on our materials without written authorization.

Any permissions granted to you automatically terminate if you breach these Terms, after which you must immediately stop using and destroy any materials derived from the Service.

5. Monitoring, Enforcement & DMCA Compliance

We actively monitor public channels, analytics signals, and technical access patterns to detect unauthorized copying, scraping, automated access, or other suspicious activities that may impact our infrastructure, design, or codebase. By using the Service you consent to our monitoring practices, which we implement in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

We reserve the right to enforce our intellectual property rights through any lawful means, including seeking injunctive relief, specific performance, monetary damages, disgorgement of profits, and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and costs. We may immediately suspend or terminate offending accounts and pursue further remedies if we determine that our IP is being infringed or misused.

We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

Any transactions or interactions with third-party sites are at your own risk.

7. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The content on this Website is provided for informational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that all information is up to date or error-free.

Addresses and locations listed on the Website were collected from publicly available information, and despite our best efforts, may be inaccurate.

We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or inconveniences resulting from reliance on the Website’s content.

Listings, recommendations, and reviews are subjective opinions and should not be considered professional advice.

8. Privacy Policy & Data Collection

We collect and store only the name and email address of users who voluntarily provide this information through forms or subscriptions.

This information is used solely for communication purposes, including newsletters, updates, or responding to inquiries.

We do not sell, trade, or share user data with third parties except as required by law.

Users may request deletion of their personal data by contacting us at help@newyorkcurated.com.

When we receive a verified deletion request, we permanently erase the associated data from our systems and backups within a reasonable timeframe. We follow GDPR-compliant practices to ensure that personal information is removed securely and irreversibly, and we provide confirmation once the process is complete.

We use standard security measures to protect user data, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We also use a first-party `visitor_id` cookie to understand anonymous traffic patterns, including unique and returning visitors. The cookie is secure, same-site, and only used for internal analytics—it does not track users across other sites.
