§ 14.2.1 The Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, either issue
to the Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as the Architect determines
is properly due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the Architect's reasons for withholding

,
§ 14.2.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Architect to the Owner,
based on the Architect's evaluations of the Work and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that the
Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the Architect's knowledge, infonnation and belief,
the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject to
an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of
subsequent tests and inspections, to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion
and to specificqua1itïcations expressed by the Architect. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further
constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified. However, the issuance
of a Certificate for Payment will not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-
site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques,
,sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers
and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment, or (4) made examination to
ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.
§ 14.2.3 The Architect may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary
to protect the Owner, if in the Architect's opinion the representations to the Owner required by Section 14.2.2
cannot be made. If the ~rchitect is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the Architect will
notify the Contractor and Owner as provided in Section 14.2.1. The Architect may also withhold a Certificate for
Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for
Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary in the Architect's opinion to protect the Owner from
loss for which the Contractor is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section
8.2.2, because of:
.1
defective Work not remedied;
.2
third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims unless
security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Contractor;
