April 3, 2017 7 Proposal No.: SWP-17-058 <br />SITE ACCESS AND UTILITIES: Client has sole responsibility for securing site access and locating <br />utilities. <br />BILLING AND PAYMENT: Client will pay Consultant the proposal amount or, if none is stated, <br />according to the fee schedule in effect at the time our services are provided. Prior to initiation <br />of fieldwork, a retainer may be required. This retainer shall be maintained throughout the project <br />and shall be applied to the final invoice. Payment is due on presentation of invoices, and is <br />delinquent if Consultant has not received payment within 30 days from the date of an invoice. <br />Client will pay an additional charge of VA (1.5) percent per month (or the maximum percentage <br />allowed by law, whichever is lower) on any delinquent amount, excepting any portion of the <br />invoiced amount that is disputed in good faith. Each payment will first be applied to accrued <br />interest, costs, and fees, and then to the principal unpaid amount. All time spent and expenses <br />incurred (including any in-house or outside attorney's fees) in connection with collection of any <br />delinquent amount will be paid by the Client to Consultant per Consultant's current fee schedule. <br />OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS: Consultant owns all documents it creates and grants Client <br />limited license to use the documents for the purposes stated in the documents. Consultant <br />reserves the right to withhold delivery of documents to Client until payment in full of current <br />invoices has been received. <br />TERMINATION: This agreement may be terminated by either party effective seven (7) days <br />from the date of written notice, or if the client suspends the work for three (3) months. In the <br />event of termination, Consultant will be paid for services performed prior to the date of <br />termination plus reasonable termination expenses. If Consultant has not received payment for <br />any invoice within 30 days from the date of the invoice, or in the event of anticipatory breach by <br />Client, Consultant may suspend performance of its services immediately and may terminate this <br />contract. <br />RISK ALLOCATION: In order for Client to obtain the benefit of a fee which includes a lesser <br />allowance for compensating Consultant for its litigation risk, Client agrees to indemnify, hold <br />harmless and defend Consultant, its agents, employees, or officers, from and against any and all <br />loss, claim, expenses, including attorney's fees, injury, damages, liability or costs arising out of <br />non-design services (i.e., services other than as defined by Civil Code Section 2784) performed <br />by Consultant on this project, except where such loss injury, damage, liability, cost, expenses or <br />claims are the result of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant. Client further <br />agrees to limit the total aggregate liability of Consultant, its agents, employees, and officers to <br />Client on the entire project, to the lesser of $30,000.00 or total fees charged by Consultant, <br />except that Consultant's liability for willful misconduct shall not be limited. You should consult <br />with an attorney experienced in construction contracts and litigation regarding this provision. <br />HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Consultant is responsible only for hazardous materials brought by <br />Consultant onto the site. Client retains ownership and responsibility in all respects for other <br />hazardous materials and associated damage. <br />ASSIGNS AND THIRD PARTIES: Neither the client nor Consultant may delegate, assign, or <br />transfer his duties or rights in this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. <br />This Agreement is intended only to benefit the parties hereto.
