<br />COMPANY shall submit a final set of sealed drawings, and any additional services to be performed by
<br />COMPANY relative to the submitted electronic materials shall be subject to separate agreement. The CLIENT
<br />is aware that differences may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed hard-copy
<br />construction documents. In the event of a conflict between the signed construction documents prepared by
<br />the COMPANY and electronic files, the signed or sealed hard-copy construction documents shall govern.
<br />8.20 Information Provided by Others
<br />The CLIENT shall furnish, at the CLIENT’s expense, all information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and
<br />instructions required by this AGREEMENT. The COMPANY may use such information, requirements, reports,
<br />data, surveys and instructions in performing its services and is entitled to rely upon the accuracy and
<br />completeness thereof. The COMPANY shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions that may
<br />arise as a result of erroneous or incomplete information provided by the CLIENT and/or the CLIENT’s
<br />consultants and contractors.
<br />COMPANY is not responsible for accuracy of any plans, surveys or information of any type including
<br />electronic media prepared by any other consultants, etc. provided to COMPANY for use in preparation of
<br />plans. The CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the
<br />COMPANY from any damages, liabilities, or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs,
<br />arising out of or connected in any way with the services performed by other consultants engaged by the
<br />CLIENT.

<br />8.21 Force Majeure
<br />The CLIENT agrees that the COMPANY is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from any
<br />delays for causes beyond the COMPANY's control. CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold
<br />COMPANY, its consultants, agents, and employees harmless from any and all liability, other than that caused
<br />by the negligent acts, errors, or omissions of COMPANY, arising out of or resulting from the same. For

<br />severe weather disruptions or other natural disasters or acts of God; fires, riots, war or other emergencies;
<br />disease epidemic or pandemic; failure of any government agency to act in a timely manner; failure of
<br />performance by the CLIENT or the CLIENT’S contractors or consultants; or discovery of any hazardous
<br />substances or differing site conditions. Severe weather disruptions include but are not limited to extensive
<br />rain, high winds, snow greater than two (2) inches and ice. In addition, if the delays resulting from any such
<br />causes increase the cost or time required by the COMPANY to perform its services in an orderly and efficient
<br />manner, the COMPANY shall be entitled to a reasonable adjustment in schedule and compensation.
<br />8.22 Job Site Visits and Safety

<br />procedures necessary for performing, superintending or coordinating all portions of the work of construction in

<br />agencies. COMPANY and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction
<br />contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions.
<br />The CLIENT agrees that the general contractor is solely responsible for job site safety, and warrants that this
<br />intent shall be made evident in the CLIENT's AGREEMENT with the general contractor. The CLIENT also
<br />agrees that the CLIENT, COMPANY and COMPANY’S consultants shall be indemnified and shall be made
<br />additional insureds on the general contractor’s and all subcontractor’s general liability policies on a primary
<br />and non-contributory basis.
