Common use of Rejection of Work Clause in Contracts

Rejection of Work. The Architect-Engineer jointly with the Owner has authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect-Engineer considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect-Engineer jointly with the Owner will have authority to require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with Article 11 and Articles 2.2.1 of this Exhibit A, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect-Engineer nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect-Engineer to the Construction Manager, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.
