Common use of Owner and Contractor Clause in Contracts

Owner and Contractor. acknowledge and agree that the Specifications and Drawings may not be complete or free from errors, omissions and imperfections and that they may require changes or additions in order for the Work to be completed to the satisfaction of Owner.
