Any charges for additional work performed by A.D.A. Compliance Team, Inc. and David

Team, Inc. and David Pedraza have many years of experience and an excellent track record on
interpretation of the ADA and ADAAG guidelines, we cannot guarantee that others will concur
with our assessment. The fact that another inspector, expert, lawyer, court or other entity may
disagree with our assessment, or may interpret the ADA or ADAAG differently, shall not be
construed as a failure by A.D.A. Compliance Team, Inc. and David Pedraza to perform services
in a careful or conscientious manner.
A.D.A. Compliance Team, Inc. and David Pedraza will provide the highest quality of service
possible. It is understood and agreed to, that A.D.A. Compliance Team, Inc. and David Pedraza

expenses, for all services rendered on the project. Such causes include, but are not limited to
negligence, errors, omissions, strict liability, breach of contract or breach of warranty.
Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Florida. All parties to this agreement expressly consent and submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Florida for all purposes regarding this
Agreement. Any dispute at all relating to this Agreement or the services rendered hereunder shall
