regarding site unknowns that may include difficult buried materials,cables,and pipes,tree stumps,drainage or water table issues,rock
and shale sub-surfaces and/or other impediments,issues or factors that could otherwise impact the quality,cost and timeliness of project
completion.Failure to notify the Contractor may lead to additional costs to the Client(at the Contractor's discretion)and schedule time
not included in the Quotation and may require changes in design and construction to overcome such problems—all for which the Client
will be responsible.Client can avoid such risks by permitting the Contractor to do appropriate soil and ground tests,review the site,and
to secure additional required site information from appropriate government and other authorities.The cost(s)of such additional work is
not included in Agreement.

Metal:Metal,which is not galvanized,is not guarannteed form rusting commencing immediately after installation.
Concrete: Spider cracks (hairline stress-fractures)are considered a normal characteristic of all types of concrete.Concrete may crack

finish(due to slippage).
Client Responsibilities: The Client recognizes and agrees that they have a responsibility to maintain constructions,plants,bushes,trees,
and other installations in keeping with standard quality maintenance requirements for the Warranty to remain in effect
