Both parties are encouraged to be imaginative in designing mechanism and procedures to resolve disputes at this level. Such efforts shall include the referral of any remaining issues in dispute to higher authority within each participating party’s organization for resolution. Failing resolution of conflicts at the organizational level, CSA and Client agree that any remaining conflicts arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to non-binding mediation unless CSA and Client mutually agree otherwise.

Should litigation or arbitration occur between the parties relating to the provisions of this Agreement, all litigation or arbitration expenses, collection expenses, witness fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. Governing Law -- The validity, performance, and construction of this Agreement, and the relationship between Client and CSA shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of California, United States of America, without regard to its choice of law rules.

CSA and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions. The Client agrees that the general contractor and its various subcontractors are solely responsible for jobsite safety, and warrants that this intent shall be made evident where appropriate in the Client’s agreements with other contractors. If the Client is a Contractor or Subcontractor on the Project, the Client also agrees that the Client, CSA, and CSA’s consultants shall be indemnified and shall be made additional insureds under the client’s general liability insurance policy; in other cases, the Client agrees to arrange for this indemnification and additional insureds under the General Contractor’s general liability insurance policy.

CSA shall not be liable for damage or injury arising from damage to subterranean structures (pipes, tanks, telephone cables, etc.) which are not called to our attention and correctly shown on plans furnished to us. Miscellaneous – In the event of any litigation or proceeding involving CSA and Client, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal fees, expert fees, and normal employee rates and associated costs from the non-prevailing party. Failure by Client to object to any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement before the commencement of services by CSA will be deemed an acceptance of such terms and conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, CSA and Client agree that neither party shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential, lost profits, or punitive damages. If any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable by a court of law or equity, this Agreement shall be construed as though that term, condition, or provision did not exist, and its unenforceability shall have no effect whatsoever on the rest of this Agreement.
