<br />Contract Time, or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The term "Claim" also includes other disputes
<br />and matters in question between the Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract. The responsibility
<br />to substantiate Claims shall rest with the party making the Claim. This Section 15.1.1 does not require the Owner to
<br />file a Claim in order to impose liquidated damages in accordance with the Contract Documents.
<br />§ 15.1.2 Time Limits on Claims
<br />The Owner and Contractor shall commence all Claims and causes of action against the other and arising out of or
<br />related to the Contract, whether in contract, tort, breach of warranty or otherwise, in accordance with the requirements
<br />of the binding dispute resolution method selected in the Agreement and within the period specified by applicable law,
<br />but in any case not more than 10 years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. The Owner and

<br />other party and to the Initial Decision Maker with a copy sent to the Architect, if the Architect is not serving as the
<br />Initial Decision Maker. Claims by either party under this Section 15.1.3.1 shall be initiated within 21 days after
<br />occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim or within 21 days after the claimant first recognizes the condition
<br />giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later.
<br />§ 15.1.3.2 Claims by either the Owner or Contractor, where the condition giving rise to the Claim is first discovered
<br />after expiration of the period for correction of the Work set forth in Section 12.2.2, shall be initiated by notice to the
<br />other party. In such event, no decision by the Initial Decision Maker is required.
<br />§ 15.1.4 Continuing Contract Performance
<br />§ 15.1.4.1 Pending final resolution of a Claim, except as otherwise agreed in writing or as provided in Section 9.7 and

<br />make payments in accordance with the Contract Documents.
<br />§ 15.1.4.2 The Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be adjusted in accordance with the Initial Decision Maker's
<br />decision, subject to the right of either party to proceed in accordance with this Article 15. The Architect will issue
<br />Certificates for Payment in accordance with the decision of the Initial Decision Maker.
<br />§ 15.1.5 Claims for Additional Cost
<br />If the Contractor wishes to make a Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, notice as provided in Section 15.1.3
