Terms of Service

1. Informational Purposes Only

The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. Property listings, building information, pricing, market commentary, calculators, guides, and related content may change without notice and may not always be complete, current, or accurate.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, tax, financial, appraisal, mortgage, or other professional advice. You should consult your attorney, accountant, lender, or other appropriate advisor before making decisions based on information found on this website.

2. No Guarantee of Availability or Accuracy

Real estate inventory, prices, taxes, common charges, maintenance, square footage, building policies, and other property-related details may be estimated, incomplete, or subject to verification. Listings may be sold, rented, withdrawn, or changed without notice.

ELIKA does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of any listing, building profile, or related data.

3. Use of HELEN by ELIKA

HELEN by ELIKA is a digital search and research tool designed to help users explore New York City residential real estate and related building information.

By using HELEN, you understand and agree that HELEN may generate search suggestions, summaries, or filtered links based on the information you provide; may simplify, interpret, or reformat user requests; and does not guarantee complete, current, or exhaustive results.

HELEN does not replace the advice or judgment of a licensed real estate professional, attorney, accountant, or lender. HELEN does not create an agency, brokerage, fiduciary, or client relationship solely through use of the tool, and does not confirm property availability, board requirements, financing eligibility, closing costs, or viewing appointments.

Do not submit highly sensitive financial, legal, medical, account, password, or other confidential information through HELEN unless expressly requested through a secure form intended for that purpose.

4. No Brokerage Relationship Created by Website Use Alone

Using this website, submitting a general inquiry, using HELEN, saving listings, or receiving emails from us does not by itself create an exclusive brokerage relationship, client relationship, or agency relationship with ELIKA unless separately agreed in writing.

5. User Submissions

If you submit information through our forms, search tools, inquiry forms, calculators, shortlist tools, offer forms, financial statement tools, or any other website feature, you represent that the information you provide is truthful and accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you have the right to provide it, and that you will not submit unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, harmful, or abusive material.

6. Acceptable Use
