Please note that these terms are subject to change at any time without prior notice.

Service Nature and Information Use Clause

NY Minute Dating, operated by Pro Singles Events USA LLC, is an events-based company specializing in organizing social gatherings for singles. We emphasize that our services do not include matchmaking or dating profile management. Our primary function is to provide a venue and opportunity for singles to meet and interact in a safe and organized setting.

Participants acknowledge that:

  1. Nature of Service: NY Minute Dating is not a matchmaking service. We do not conduct interviews, nor do we analyze or consider participants' likes, dislikes, wants, or needs in the context of romantic matchmaking. The interaction, communication, and any potential matching are entirely up to the participants. Our role is limited to organizing the event and providing an environment conducive to meeting other singles.

  2. Offline Service: NY Minute Dating is fundamentally an offline service. While we maintain a website for the convenience of ticket sales and event management, we do not offer online dating services, user profiles, or the ability for participants to communicate through our site. Interaction among participants occurs exclusively at our events.

  3. Information Use: Any information collected from participants, such as height, race, or religion, is solely for the purpose of organizing and tailoring future events to better suit the interests and backgrounds of attendees. This information is not used to create individual profiles, nor is it shared or displayed publicly.

  4. Contact Information Exchange: Post-event, participants may access the contact information of other attendees whom they have mutually matched with during the event through our website. This feature is strictly limited to mutual matches to respect the privacy and preferences of all participants.

By participating in NY Minute Dating events, you acknowledge and accept the nature of our services as described above. You agree that the scope of our responsibility is limited to providing the venue, setting, and opportunity for meeting other singles and that any further interactions or relationships developed at our events are beyond the control and responsibility of NY Minute Dating or Pro Singles Events USA LLC.

NY Minute Dating reserves the right to refuse entry or service to anyone dressed inappropriately or not adhering to the dress code.

Failure to comply may result in you being asked to leave without a refund or credit for your ticket.

NY Minute Dating offers a flexible refund and credit system to accommodate your needs:

  • Cancellation Policy: You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel your participation at least 7 days before the event date. If you cancel less than 7 days prior to the event, you will not receive a refund; however, you will receive a credit equal to the value you paid, applicable towards another event.

Personal Interaction Disclaimer

NY Minute Dating facilitates introductions between individuals through organized events.

All participants are expected to conduct their personal interactions responsibly and with mutual respect for each other's consent and boundaries. NY Minute Dating strongly advises all participants to practice safe and respectful social interactions at all times.

Mutual Match Disclaimer

NY Minute Dating provides a platform for social interaction and connection among singles through organized events. However, we would like to clarify the following:

  1. No Guarantee of Match: While many participants have successfully found mutual matches and established relationships through our events, NY Minute Dating does not guarantee that you will receive a mutual match during any of our events. The nature and outcome of social interactions can vary greatly between individuals.

  2. Entertainment Purpose: Our events should be considered a form of entertainment and an opportunity to meet new people. We do not promise any specific results or outcomes from your participation.

  3. No Liability for Single Status: Continued single status cannot be attributed to NY Minute Dating or Pro Singles Events USA LLC. We provide a venue and opportunity for meeting new people, but the development of any relationships is contingent upon the mutual consent and interaction of the participants involved.

By participating in our events, you acknowledge and accept that the results of social interactions, including the possibility of a mutual match, vary and are not under the control of NY Minute Dating. You agree to engage in our events with an understanding of this perspective and not hold NY Minute Dating or Pro Singles Events USA LLC responsible for any lack of matches or subsequent interactions.

Event Timeliness

Participants are expected to arrive at least 15 minutes before the advertised start time of the event. Event start times listed on our website or advertisements indicate when you should be at the venue, not when the dating sessions will commence. The sessions will start once the majority of participants are checked in. Refunds or credits are not provided for session start time delays due to the check-in process or event explanations.

Food and Drink Policy

Ticket prices cover the cost of participation in the event itself and not any food or drink. While some events may offer food or drinks, these are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are not the focal point of the event. No refunds or compensation will be provided if you miss out on these offerings. Participants agree to purchase at least one drink or food item during the event to support the venue and ensure the continuation of our partnership. Water does not count towards this requirement.

Participant Background Disclaimer

NY Minute Dating and Pro Singles Events USA LLC wish to make the following explicitly clear to all participants:

  1. No Background Checks: We do not conduct background checks on participants regarding their criminal history, education level, marital status, or any other personal information. As such, we cannot provide any assurances or guarantees concerning the background of individuals who attend our events.

  2. Marital Status: Individuals who are currently married are not permitted to attend our events. Our events are intended for singles who are genuinely unattached. If you are separated and in the process of divorce, you may attend our events, provided the separation is bona fide and you are pursuing divorce.

  4. Self-Conducted Checks: Should you wish to conduct background checks on other participants, you may do so independently and at your own expense. Please note that NY Minute Dating and Pro Singles Events USA LLC will not assist or cooperate with such background checks. We respect the privacy of all participants and maintain a policy of non-involvement in personal verification processes.
By participating in our events, you agree to undertake any such background checks at your own discretion, understanding that NY Minute Dating holds no responsibility for the outcome or accuracy of these checks.

Prohibition on Recording

You are not allowed to record or photograph our events. Customers who attend our events expect a reasonable amount of privacy given the nature of our event. You may not record anyone at our event without written permission from us and the other participants.

A small percentage (less than 10%) of participants may not fall within the advertised category. You agree to sign up for events that align with your self-identified category and within the recommended ages. No refunds or credits will be provided if you meet individuals outside the description of the event.

Guarantee and Mutual Match Policy

NY Minute Dating offers a Guarantee: If you do not meet someone you are interested in during an event (indicated by not selecting anyone on our website), you are eligible for a free entry to another event. You must request this within 5 days post-event. Failure to pick anyone indicates you didn't meet a match, and hence you are eligible for this offer. However, if you select someone, it indicates interest, and you will not be eligible for the free event. We make no guarantee of a mutual match at our events.

The participant acknowledges that this non-disparagement clause is a material term of this agreement, the breach of which would cause irreparable harm to NY Minute Dating or Pro Singles Events USA LLC.
