Any action related to this EULA or the Privacy Policy, and any documents incorporated by reference herein, will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive and procedural laws of the State of New York (without regard to its conflict of laws provisions), and to the extent controlling, to the federal laws of the United States of America.

17. Ownerscope Community Policies
Ownerscope strives to foster a positive, stimulating and safe community for encouraging dialogue about the important goal of home ownership. We believe that almost all of our users will naturally contribute to promoting such dialogue, but as a reminder, here are some guidelines (not intended to be comprehensive) to keep in mind.
- No Bullying and/or Harassment - Ownerscope encourages users to speak freely on matters and people of public interest, but we strive to take action on reports of abusive, harassing, threatening, or defamatory behavior directed at individuals. Repeatedly targeting users with unwanted messages is a form of harassment.
- Sharing, posting, or transmitting any material or communication that is designed to provoke, harass, upset, embarrass, or antagonize anyone (including Ownerscope staff or other users), especially trolling, bullying, or intimidating, is strictly prohibited within any Service of Ownerscope;
- Do not impersonate - Ownerscope requests users use their real names and account identities when using the Services. Users are prohibited from publishing the personal information of others without their consent. Claiming to be another person, creating a false presence for an organization or person, or creating multiple accounts undermines community and violates Ownerscope's EULA.
- No Hateful Speech - Ownerscope does not permit use of the Services to disseminate hateful speech or to incite violence of any kind. While we encourage you to challenge ideas, institutions, events, and practices, Ownerscope does not permit individuals or groups to use the Services to attack others based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, familial status, disability or medical condition, or other protected class.
- Graphic Content - Ownerscope can be a place where people turn to share their experiences and raise awareness about issues important to them. Sometimes, those experiences and issues involve graphic content that is of public interest or concern. In many instances, when people share this type of content, it is to condemn it. However, graphic images shared for sadistic effect or to celebrate or glorify violence will not be tolerated on our Services.
- Nudity - Ownerscope has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and any explicitly sexual content. We also impose limitations on the display of nudity.
- Intellectual Property - Before sharing content on Ownerscope, please be sure you have the right to do so. We ask that you respect copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights including, but not limited to, not conducting copyright infringement, trademark infringement, defamation, invasion of privacy, identity theft, hacking, stalking, fraud and the distribution of counterfeit software.
- Phishing and Spam - We take the safety of our users seriously and work to prevent attempts to compromise their privacy or security. We also ask that you respect our other users by not contacting them for commercial purposes without their consent.
