Last updated: May 09, 2026

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are NY2C Corp ("we," "us," or "our"), a company registered in the State of New York, USA, with offices at 430 East 86 Street, New York, NY 10018. Our mailing address is 67-53 Clyde Street, Forest Hills, NY 11375.

We operate the website james.ny2c.com (the "Site") and the related AI-powered NYC concierge service known as James (collectively, the "Services"). You can contact us by phone at 646-345-9699 or by email at Jamesd@ny2c.com.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and NY2C Corp concerning your access to and use of the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Services and must discontinue use immediately.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects when changes were made. Your continued use of the Services after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 13 years of age. All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian to use the Services.

Our Services

The Services provide an AI-powered conversational concierge focused on New York City — including recommendations and information about food, events, neighborhoods, attractions, transit, and trip planning. The AI service is powered by Anthropic's Claude large language model.

Information provided through the Services is for general informational purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency, or suitability of any information, recommendation, or itinerary generated by the Services. Hours, prices, availability, and conditions change frequently — please verify critical details with the relevant venue or operator before relying on them.

The Services are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation. Users who access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Services and all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics on the Services (collectively, the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks"), are owned or controlled by NY2C Corp or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws of the United States, international copyright laws, and international conventions.

Except as expressly provided in these Terms, no part of the Services and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our prior written permission.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services and to download or print a copy of any portion of the Content to which you have properly gained access, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a "Dispute"), the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other.

Binding Arbitration

If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration shall be conducted in New York County, Manhattan, New York, by a single arbitrator. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

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.

Time Limitation

Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your Contributions; (2) your use of the Services; (3) your breach of these Terms; (4) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms; (5) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (6) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services.
