otherwise without authorization of the datas creat or, the party receiving electronic files agrees
that it will perform acceptance tests or procedures within 60 days, after which the receiving party
shall be deemed to have accepted the data thus transferred. Any transmittal errors detected within
the 60-day acceptance period will be corrected by the party delivering the electronic files.

without liability or legal exposure to Engineer or to its officers, directors, members, partners,
agents, employees, and Consultants; (3) Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless Engineer and
its officers, directors, members, partners, agents, employees, and Consultants from all claims,
damages, losses, and expenses, including attorneys fees, arising out of or resulting from any use,
reuse, or modification of the Documents without written verification, completion, or adaptation by
Engineer; and (4) such limited license to Owner shall not create any rights in third parties.

do so would be inappropriate. In rendering such decisions, Engineer shall be fair and not
show partiality to Owner or Contractor and shall not be liable in connection with any
decision rendered in good faith in such capacity.
15.Applications for Payment: Based on Engineers observations as an experience d and
qualified design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and
accompanying supporting documentation:
a. Determine the amounts that Engineer recommends Contractor be paid. Such
recommendations of payment will be in writing and will constitute Engineers
representation to Owner, based on such observations and review, that, to the best of
Engineers knowledge, information and belief, Contr actors Work has progressed to the
point indicated, the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents, and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation), and the
conditions precedent to Contractors being entitled to such payment appear to have
been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineers respon sibility to observe Contractors Work.
In the case of unit price work, Engineers recommen dations of payment will include
final determinations of quantities and classifications of Contractors Work (subject to
any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents).
b. By recommending any payment, Engineer shall not thereby be deemed to have
represented that observations made by Engineer to check the quality or quantity of
Contractors Work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive, extended to
every aspect of Contractors Work in progress, or i nvolved detailed inspections of the
Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in this Agreement
and the Contract Documents. Neither Engineers rev iew of Contractors Work for the
purposes of recommending payments nor Engineers re commendation of any payment
including final payment will impose on Engineer responsibility to supervise, direct, or
control Contractors Work in progress or for the me ans, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction or safety precautions or programs incident
thereto, or Contractors compliance with Laws and R egulations applicable to
Contractors furnishing and performing the Work. I t will also not impose responsibility
on Engineer to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor
has used the moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or to determine that title to
any portion of the Work in progress, materials, or equipment has passed to Owner free
and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances, or that there may not
