Common use of Review and Approval of Contractor's Submittals Clause in Contracts

Review and Approval of Contractor's Submittals. The Architect will review and approve the Contractor's Submittals, such as shop drawings and product samples, for the limited purpose of checking for compliance with the Contract Documents.

The Architect's approval of a submittal which contains a deviation which has not been specifically called to the Architect's attention excludes approval of that deviation and shall not serve as a waiver of the rights of the Architect or Owner unless the Architect makes specific written acceptance of said deviation on the Architect's letterhead or Owner makes specific written acceptance of said deviation on the Owner's letterhead.
