Hello everyone. I am relatively new to mining and I am in a situation where electricity costs do not matter. I have a gtx 1070 and I undervolted it to the point where I can mine and the temps never rise above 70 degrees. I am using nicehash miner currently. My question is, will I damage my card running it over night or for long periods of time?

nah, chill fam.... But seriously, nope - Heat is the main killer of GPU's. Since your fans are running 24/7, you're at a higher risk of your fans burning out, and if that does happen you can replace them for very cheap. As long as it's kept cool it'll last, and by that time it'll be outdated and time to upgrade.

 Like NvMiner10 said, you should be fine.  Go one step further and maybe have some spare fans lying around in case they do burn out.  They may not be easily available if you ever do need them.

Yes, just ensure GPU keep cool all the time should last long.
