You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site. If you create an account or submit information, you agree to provide accurate details and to keep your login credentials secure.

3) Email subscriptions

If you sign up for emails, you will receive messages such as a welcome email and periodic updates (typically weekly; frequency may vary). You can opt out anytime via the unsubscribe link in each email or by contacting us. Opting out may not affect essential service messages (e.g., account or legal notices).

We are an independent publisher and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for third‑party organizers, venues, ticketing providers, or platforms referenced in Listings. Third‑party names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

6) Accuracy, estimates, and disclaimers

Listings may change or be incorrect. Any attendance, popularity, or capacity figures are estimates or third‑party reports and are provided "as is." The Site and content are provided without warranties of any kind, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness, and non‑infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We own or license the Site’s design, text, and compilation of content. You may view and share links for personal, non‑commercial use. Any other use (copying, republishing, or creating derivative works) requires our written permission, unless permitted by law.

8) User submissions

If you submit content (e.g., corrections or suggestions), you grant us a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free license to use, display, and distribute it in connection with operating and improving the Site. You represent you have the rights to submit it.

9) DMCA / copyright complaints

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice to contact@domain.com including: your contact info, identification of the work, the URL, a good‑faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act.

10) Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hobbynox Circle will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Site or third‑party services.

These Terms are governed by New York law, excluding conflict of law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us to try to resolve the dispute informally. Any legal action must be brought in state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to that venue and jurisdiction.

12) Changes and termination

We may update these Terms by posting a new effective date. We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms or if necessary to protect the Site.
