- Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
The Site (excluding links) are controlled by OwnerIQ and operated by OwnerIQ from its offices in and around Boston, Massachusetts.

You agree that all claims you may have arising from or relating to the operation, use or other exploitation of the Site will be heard and resolved in the courts in Boston, Massachusetts. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, stipulate to the fairness and convenience of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to assert any object to proceeding in such courts. If you choose to gain access to the Site from locations other than Boston, Massachusetts, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of any such other location.
- Miscellaneous
No delay or omission by OwnerIQ in exercising any of its rights occurring upon any noncompliance or default by you with respect to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will impair any such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and a waiver by OwnerIQ of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by you will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition or agreement hereof contained. As used in this Agreement, "including" means "including but not limited to." The captions of this Agreement have been inserted solely for convenience of reference, in no way define or limit the scope or substance of any provision of this Agreement, and will not be considered in interpreting this Agreement.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between you and OwnerIQ regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all prior promises, agreements or representations, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
