Common use of ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING WORK Clause in Contracts

ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING WORK. The Owner reserves the right to accept any defective or non-conforming Work; provided, however, that in such event the Contract Sum shall be reduced by an appropriate and equitable amount to account for such defect or nonconformity. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made. Any such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of approval of the performance requirements of the Contract Documents.
