Engineer shall not be required to certify, <br /> guarantee, or warrant the existence of any condition that Engineer cannot ascertain. No certification, <br /> statement, or document issued by Engineer shall constitute an express warranty or guarantee to any party. <br /> SEVERABILITY <br /> If any one or more provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any <br /> reason, all other portions of this Agreement shall remain in effect. Failure by Engineer to enforce any <br /> provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the provision, or waiver of any other provision <br /> or right under this Agreement or in law. <br /> TERMINATION <br /> Either party may terminate this Agreement, for convenience or for cause. In the event of termination by <br /> either party, Client shall pay Engineer for all services performed prior to the time of notice of such <br /> termination. In addition, if termination occurs by Client for any reason other than Engineer's negligence, <br /> error, omission, or material breach of contract, Client shall pay Engineer 20% of the remaining unbilled <br /> contract amount or estimated fee, as applicable. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, <br /> Client's license for further use of any Project documents produced under this Agreement shall be <br /> immediately revoked; whereupon Client shall not use, nor allow any agent of Client to use, the documents <br /> for any purpose except as may be specifically agreed in writing by Engineer. <br /> SURVIVAL <br /> All express and implied waivers, indemnification obligations, risk allocations, limitations, and procedures <br /> contained herein shall survive completion or termination of this Agreement for any reason. <br /> 8 <br />
