Thank you for reaching out to the Levelset community forum. Your question is not very clear, but it sounds like you are asking which state law applies to your claim and that the company is based in Ohio but the construction project was in California? The state where the project takes place is the state law that governs the project. If you have any more questions you may want to consider consulting a California attorney privately. Here's a list of attorneys in California: https://www.levelset.com/payment-help/experts/construction-lawyer/california/

Sorry if that wasn't a clear question. MY client agreement is an Ohio entity (Governing Law article states that Ohio is the state of governing law). The project location is in CA and the subcpntractor is located in NV. Do we follow the Prompt Pay law of Ohio (goeverning law, client) or California (project location)?
