§ 1.2.1.1 The invalidity of any provision of the Contract Documents shall not invalidate the Contract or its remaining
<br />provisions. If it is determined that any provision of the Contract Documents violates any law, or is otherwise invalid or
<br />unenforceable, then that provision shall be revised to the extent necessary to make that provision legal and
<br />enforceable. In such case the Contract Documents shall be construed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to give
<br />effect to the parties' intentions and purposes in executing the Contract.
<br />§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not
<br />control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be
<br />performed by any trade.
<br />§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words that have well-known technical or construction
<br />industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.
<br />§ 1.3 Capitalization
<br />Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those that are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of numbered
<br />articles, or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American Institute of Architects.
<br />§ 1.4 Interpretation
<br />In the interest of brevity the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as "all" and "any" and articles
<br />such as "the" and "an," but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in another is
<br />not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.
<br />§ 1.5 Ownership and Use of Drawings, Specifications, and Other Instruments of Service
<br />§ 1.5.1 The Architect and the Architect's consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective
<br />Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and retain all common law, statutory, and other
<br />reserved rights in their Instruments of Service, including copyrights. The Contractor, Subcontractors,
<br />Sub -subcontractors, and suppliers shall not own or claim a copyright in the Instruments of Service. Submittal or
<br />distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with the Project is not to be
<br />construed as publication in derogation of the Architect's or Architect's consultants' reserved rights.
<br />§ 1.5.2 The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub -subcontractors, and suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce the
<br />Instruments of Service provided to them, subject to any protocols established pursuant to Sections 1.7 and 1.8, solely
<br />and exclusively for execution of the Work. All copies made under this authorization shall bear the copyright notice, if
<br />any, shown on the Instruments of Service. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub -subcontractors, and suppliers may not
<br />use the Instruments of Service on other projects or for additions to the Project outside the scope of the Work without
<br />the specific written consent of the Owner, Architect, and the Architect's consultants.
<br />§ 1.6 Notice
<br />§ 1.6.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.6.2, where the Contract Documents require one party to notify or
<br />give notice to the other party, such notice shall be provided in writing to the designated representative of the party to
<br />whom the notice is addressed and shall be deemed to have been duly served if delivered in person, by mail, by courier,
<br />or by electronic transmission if a method for electronic transmission is set forth in the Agreement.
<br />§ 1.6.2 Notice of Claims as provided in Section 15.1.3 shall be provided in writing and shall be deemed to have been
<br />duly served only if delivered to the designated representative of the party to whom the notice is addressed by certified
<br />or registered mail, or by courier providing proof of delivery.
<br />§ 1.7 Digital Data Use and Transmission
<br />The parties shall agree upon protocols governing the transmission and use of Instruments of Service or any other
<br />information or documentation in digital form. The parties will use AIA Document E203T'4--2013, Building
