The editorial content published on NIGHTGUIDE is intended for informational, cultural, and commentary purposes. We strive for accuracy but make no warranties — express or implied — regarding the completeness, timeliness, or accuracy of reported facts, quoted materials, release information, or third-party statements. Readers should verify critical details directly with official sources when making decisions based on published coverage. NIGHTGUIDE shall not be held liable for any inconvenience, loss, or damage arising from reliance on editorial content.

All original editorial content, design, logos, branding, typography, and features of NIGHTGUIDE.NYC are the exclusive intellectual property of NIGHTGUIDE and its contributors, protected under applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce, republish, scrape, redistribute, or use any portion of our content or branding for commercial purposes without prior written consent. Personal, non-commercial sharing of individual articles is permitted provided proper attribution ("via NIGHTGUIDE.NYC") is included and a link back to the original is maintained.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, publisher pages, brand sites, streaming services, ticketing platforms, and other external services not owned or controlled by NIGHTGUIDE. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party services. We strongly advise reviewing the Terms and Privacy Policy of every third-party site you visit. NIGHTGUIDE shall not be liable for any damages or losses arising from your use of any linked third-party service.

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your access to the Service at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, NIGHTGUIDE, or third parties, or for any other reason. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, and limitations of liability — shall survive.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered users by email. Your continued use of the Service after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.
