permitting continuous and orderly progress through completion of the services. Times for
performance shall be extended as necessary for delays or suspensions due to circumstances
that the Consultant does not control. If such delay or suspension extends for more than six
months, Consultant's compensation shall be renegotiated.
4) Method of Payment. Client shall pay Consultant as follows:
a, Invoices will be submitted periodically for services performed and expenses incurred.
Invoices are due and payable upon presentation. Client shall pay Consultant a time price
differential of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding amount of each invoice that is
overdue for more than 30 days. The Client shall also pay any applicable sales tax. All retainers
will be held by the Consultant and applied against the final invoice. If the Client fails to make
any payment due under this or any other agreement within 30 days after presentation, the
Consultant may, after giving notice to the Client, suspend services and withhold deliverables
until all amounts due are paid, and may commence legal proceedings including filing liens to
secure payment.
b. If the Client relies on payment or proceeds from a third party to pay Consultant and Client
does not pay Consultant's invoice within 60 days of receipt, Consultant may communicate
directly with such third party to secure payment.
C. If the Client objects to an invoice, it must advise the Consultant in writing giving its reasons
within 14 days of receipt of the invoice or the Client's objections will be waived, and the invoice
shall conclusively be deemed due and owing. If the Client objects to only a portion of the
invoice, payment for all other portions remains due.
d, If the Consultant initiates legal proceedings to collect payment, it may recover, in addition to
all amounts due, its reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable experts' fees, and other expenses

related to the proceedings. Such expenses shall include the cost, at the Consultant's normal
hourly billing rates, of the time devoted to such proceedings by its employees.
The Client agrees that the payment to the Consultant is not subject to any contingency or
condition. The Consultant may negotiate payment of any check tendered by the Client, even if
the words "in full satisfaction" or words intended to have similar effect appear on the check
without such negotiation being an accord and satisfaction of any disputed debt and without
prejudicing any right of the Consultant to collect additional amounts from the Client.
5) Use of Documents. All documents and data prepared by the Consultant are related
exclusively to the services described in this Agreement and may be used only if the Client has
satisfied all of its obligations under this Agreement. They are not intended or represented to be
suitable for use or reuse by the Client or others on extensions of this project or on any other
project. Any modifications by the Client to any of the Consultant's documents, or any reuse of
the documents without written authorization by the Consultant will be at the Client's sole risk
and without liability to the Consultant, and the Client shall indemnify, defend and hold the
Consultant harmless from all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to
attorneys' fees, resulting therefrom. The Consultant's electronic files and source code remain
the property of the Consultant and shall be provided to the Client only if expressly provided for
in this Agreement. Any electronic files not containing an electronic seal are provided only for
the convenience of the Client and use of them is at the Client's sole risk. In the case of any
defects in the electronic files or any discrepancies between them and the hardcopy of the
documents prepared by the Consultant, the hardcopy shall govern.
6) Intellectual Property. Consultant may use or develop its proprietary software, patents,
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property owned by Consultant or its
affiliates ("Intellectual Property") in the performance of this Agreement. Unless explicitly agreed
to in writing by both parties to the contrary, Consultant maintains all interest in and ownership of
its Intellectual Property and conveys no interest, ownership, license to use, or any other rights in
the Intellectual Property to Client. Any enhancements of Intellectual Property made during the
performance of this Agreement are solely owned by Consultant and its affiliates.
7) Opinions of Cost. Because the Consultant does not control the cost of labor, materials,
equipment or services furnished by others, methods of determining prices, or competitive
bidding or market conditions, any opinions rendered as to costs, including but not limited to the
costs of construction and materials, are made solely based on its judgment as a professional
familiar with the industry. The Consultant cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids
or actual costs will not vary from its opinions of cost. If the Client wishes greater assurance as
to the amount of any cost, it shall employ an independent cost estimator. Consultant's services
required to bring costs within any limitation established by the Client will be paid for as
Additional Services.
8) Termination. The obligation to provide further services under this Agreement may be
terminated by either party upon seven days' written notice in the event of substantial failure by
the other party to perform in accordance with the terms hereof, or upon thirty days' written
notice for the convenience of the terminating party. The Consultant shall be paid for all services
rendered and expenses incurred to the effective date of termination, and other reasonable
expenses incurred by the Consultant as a result of such termination.
9) Standard of Care. The standard of care applicable to Consultant's services will be the
degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by consultants performing the same or similar
services in the same locality at the time the services are provided. No warranty, express or
implied, is made or intended by the Consultant's performance of services, and it is agreed that
the Consultant is not a fiduciary with respect to the Client.
10) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of the Project
to the Client and the Consultant, the risks are allocated such that, to the fullest extent allowed
by law, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the existence of
applicable insurance coverage, that the total liability, in the aggregate, of the Consultant and the
Consultant's officers, directors, employees, agents, and subconsultants to the Client or to
anyone claiming by, through or under the Client, for any and all claims, losses, costs or
damages whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to the services under this Agreement
from any causes, including but not limited to, the negligence, professional errors or omissions,

Consultant's officers, directors, employees, agents, and subconsultants, shall not exceed twice
the total compensation received by the Consultant under this Agreement or $50,000, whichever
is greater. Higher limits of liability may be negotiated for additional fee. This Section is
intended solely to limit the remedies available to the Client or those claiming by or through the
Client, and nothing in this Section shall require the Client to indemnify the Consultant.
11) Mutual Waiver of Consequential Damages. In no event shall either parry be liable to the
other for any consequential, incidental, punitive, or indirect damages including but not limited to
loss of income or loss of profits.
12) Construction Costs. Under no circumstances shall the Consultant be liable for extra
costs or other consequences due to unknown conditions or related to the failure of contractors
to perform work in accordance with the plans and specifications. Consultant shall have no
liability whatsoever for any costs arising out of the Client's decision to obtain bids or proceed
with construction before the Consultant has issued final, fully approved plans and specifications.
The Client acknowledges that all preliminary plans are subject to substantial revision until plans
are fully approved and all permits obtained.
13) Certifications. All requests for the Consultant to execute certificates, lender consents, or
other third -party reliance letters must be submitted to the Consultant at least 14 days prior to the
requested date of execution. The Consultant shall not be required to execute certificates,
consents, or third -party reliance letters that are inaccurate, that relate to facts of which the
Consultant does not have actual knowledge, or that would cause the Consultant to violate
applicable rules of professional responsibility.
14) Dispute Resolution. All claims arising out of this Agreement or its breach shall be
submitted first to mediation in accordance with the American Arbitration Association as a
condition precedent to litigation. Any mediation or civil action by Client must be commenced
within one year of the accrual of the cause of action asserted but in no event later than allowed
by applicable statutes.
15) Hazardous Substances and Conditions. Consultant shall not be a custodian,
transporter, handler, arranger, contractor, or remediator with respect to hazardous substances
and conditions. Consultant's services will be limited to analysis, recommendations, and
reporting, including, when agreed to, plans and specifications for isolation, removal, or
remediation. The Consultant will notify the Client of unanticipated hazardous substances or
conditions of which the Consultant actually becomes aware. The Consultant may stop affected
portions of its services until the hazardous substance or condition is eliminated.
16) Construction Phase Services.
a. If the Consultant prepares construction documents and the Consultant is not retained to
make periodic site visits, the Client assumes all responsibility for interpretation of the documents
and for construction observation, and the Client waives any claims against the Consultant in any
way connected thereto.
b. The Consultant shall have no responsibility for any contractor's means, methods,
techniques, equipment choice and usage, sequence, schedule, safety programs, or safety
practices, nor shall Consultant have any authority or responsibility to stop or direct the work of
any contractor. The Consultant's visits will be for the purpose of endeavoring to provide the
Client a greater degree of confidence that the completed work of its contractors will generally
conform to the construction documents prepared by the Consultant. Consultant neither
guarantees the performance of contractors, nor assumes responsibility for any contractor's
failure to perform its work in accordance with the contract documents.
C. The Consultant is not responsible for any duties assigned to it in the construction contract
that are not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Client agrees that each contract with
any contractor shall state that the contractor shall be solely responsible for job site safety and its
means and methods; that the contractor shall indemnify the Client and the Consultant for all
claims and liability arising out of job site accidents; and that the Client and the Consultant shall
be made additional insureds under the contractor's general liability insurance policy.

17) No Third -Party Beneficiaries; Assignment and Subcontracting. This Agreement gives
no rights or benefits to anyone other than the Client and the Consultant, and all duties and
responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this Agreement will be for the sole benefit of the Client
and the Consultant. The Client shall not assign or transfer any rights under or interest in this
Agreement, or any claim arising out of the performance of services by Consultant, without the
written consent of the Consultant. The Consultant reserves the right to augment its staff with
subconsultants as it deems appropriate due to project logistics, schedules, or market conditions.
If the Consultant exercises this right, the Consultant will maintain the agreed -upon billing rates
for services identified in the contract, regardless of whether the services are provided by in-
house employees, contract employees, or independent subconsultants.
18) Confidentiality. The Client consents to the use and dissemination by the Consultant of
photographs of the project and to the use by the Consultant of facts, data and information
obtained by the Consultant in the performance of its services. If, however, any facts, data or
information are specifically identified in writing by the Client as confidential, the Consultant shall
use reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of that material.
19) Miscellaneous Provisions. This Agreement is to be governed by the law of the State of
California. This Agreement contains the entire and fully integrated agreement between the
parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, representations,
agreements, or understandings, whether written or oral. Except as provided in Section 1, this
Agreement can be supplemented or amended only by a written document executed by both
parties. Any conflicting or additional terms on any purchase order issued by the Client shall be
void and are hereby expressly rejected by the Consultant. If Client requires Consultant to
register with or use an online vendor portal for payment or any other purpose, any terms
included in the registration or use of the online vendor portal that are inconsistent or in addition
to these terms shall be void and shall have no effect on Consultant or this Agreement. Any
provision in this Agreement that is unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions. The non -enforcement of any
provision by either party shall not constitute a waiver of that provision nor shall it affect the
enforceability of that provision or of the remainder of this Agreement.
