LIABILITY FOR DESIGN Sample Clauses
The "Liability for Design" clause defines which party is responsible for the adequacy, accuracy, and suitability of the design work in a contract. Typically, this clause specifies whether the contractor, consultant, or client bears the risk if the design is found to be defective or non-compliant with requirements. For example, in a design-build contract, the contractor may be liable for both the design and construction, whereas in traditional contracts, the client or their appointed designer may retain design responsibility. The core function of this clause is to clearly allocate responsibility and risk for design errors or omissions, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring accountability for design quality.
