Owner’s failure to meet the conditions identified above, on or before the date identified above, for any reason other than ASPHA’s negligence, shall constitute breach of this agreement and result in damages as provided in Section 5.

Changes to Work may be made as the work progresses, and the Owner agrees that any changes to the system installed by ASPHA that differ from the written proposal, shall be conclusive proof of the owner’s authorization to change the system from the Proposal. The Owner will pay all costs associated with change orders and will receive any cost reduction associated with the deletion and/or substitution of Work. ASPHA is not liable for existing plumbing, heating or gas conditions. The Owner will pay all costs that may occur if it is necessary or if required by local Code Official to upgrade to current plumbing, heating or gas code for a safe and proper working system.
