Do you really intend to abide by all of the restrictions contained therein?
Reading a EULA or not, and my intentions do not remove my responsibility to abide by an agreement I have made.
I serve on several committees in our HOA. It has never been my intention to impose my will on others. We have an level headed and reasonable HOA.
Our biggest problems occur when someone does not know what he has agreed to and therefore feels that it is OK to claim ignorance and violate the CCRs. The other is the one that understands the provisions of the HOA but does not feel it applies to them.
HOAs are not for everyone and that’s OK. For me, I am OK with it. The provisions help preserve the reasons that I moved here.
