Terms of Service
Last updated: September 30, 2026
1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of redhookdevelopment.com (the “Site”), operated by Red Hook Development (“Red Hook Development,” “we,” “us” or “our”), Brooklyn, New York. By accessing or using the Site, including by submitting any form, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
2. Who We Are
Red Hook Development purchases real estate as a principal for its own account. Its principals include licensed New York real estate brokers. Red Hook Development does not act as your broker, agent, attorney, tax advisor or fiduciary, and your use of the Site or submission of a property does not create a brokerage, agency, fiduciary or attorney-client relationship.
3. No Offer or Binding Agreement
Content on the Site, and any preliminary price, range or discussion, is not an offer to purchase and does not create a binding obligation for either party. A purchase becomes binding only when a written contract of sale is signed and delivered by both the seller and Red Hook Development (or its designated purchasing entity), subject to that contract’s terms. We may decline to make an offer on any property for any lawful reason.
4. Informational Content Only
Articles, guides and answers on the Site — including information about rent stabilization, the Rent Guidelines Board, 421-a, 485-x, zoning, landmarks, taxes and transfer costs — are general information provided for convenience. They are not legal, tax, financial or investment advice, may not reflect the most current law or agency guidance, and may not apply to your situation. Laws and programs change frequently. Always consult a qualified New York attorney, accountant or other professional before making decisions about your property.
5. Your Submissions
When you submit information through the Site, you represent that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it. If you are not the owner of the property, you represent that you are authorized by the owner or are a licensed broker or other authorized representative, and that you will disclose your role to us. You agree that we may use the information you submit to evaluate the property, contact you by email or phone about it, and keep records of our communications, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, bank account numbers or other sensitive financial information through the Site.
6. Brokers and Wholesalers
If you submit a property as a broker, wholesaler or other intermediary, you agree to disclose your relationship to the property and the owner, and that any compensation must be agreed in a separate signed writing. Nothing on the Site obligates us to pay any fee or commission. You are responsible for complying with all laws applicable to your activities, including New York real estate licensing laws.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
- Submit false, misleading or fraudulent information, or information about property you have no right to represent
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers or related systems
- Introduce viruses, malware or other harmful code
- Scrape, harvest or collect data from the Site by automated means without our written permission
- Interfere with the Site’s operation or other users’ use of it
8. Intellectual Property
The Site and its content — including text, graphics, the Red Hook Development name and logo, and page design — are owned by or licensed to Red Hook Development and protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute or create derivative works from the Site’s content without our prior written permission.
9. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may link to third-party websites or use third-party services, such as analytics providers and government resources. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies or practices, and a link does not imply endorsement.
10. Fair Housing
Red Hook Development is committed to compliance with federal, state and local fair housing laws. We do not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by law, including race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status, lawful source of income or any other protected class.
11. Disclaimers
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Red Hook Development and its principals, members, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or its content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Red Hook Development and its principals, members, employees and agents from any claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your misuse of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or information you submit that is inaccurate or that you had no right to submit.
14. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to the Site or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kings County or New York County, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when they were last revised. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
