Common use of Disputed Changes Clause in Contracts

Disputed Changes. If Contractor should dispute a decision by Princeton University as to whether a change has occurred or whether, or to what extent, a change in the Work will result in a change in the Contract Price, the Contract Time or the Project Schedule, then Contractor shall, if directed by Princeton University in a Disputed Change Order or other written directive, nevertheless perform such work pursuant to Clause H5; provided that the performance of the work shall not prejudice any claim that Contractor may have with respect to such work, so long as Contractor has given Princeton University timely notice of such claim pursuant to Clause H3, and so long as Contractor maintains the records required under Clause H5 and paragraph (g) below. Such records shall be maintained for the sole purpose of documenting the performance of the work and shall not be determinative of the amount of such change, if a change occurred, unless and until the parties agree that a change has occurred and that the change is to be performed on a time and material basis.
