The time difference
Article Abstract:
The wide variation in negligence date calculating methods has lead to general discrepancies in judicial rulings as to the starting date of limitation periods. Courts have the difficult task of deciding when a breach of contract takes place in relation to construction projects, while it is even harder to decide when accrual of negligence began. Many problems may occur without the owner being aware, therefore pinpointing a date is very difficult..

Exclusive contracts are written to provide limited liability, which takes into account all aspects of risk. Many regard these exclusive contracts as unfair, making more money for lawyers who draft the documentation.
