Ala. Admin. Code r. 100-X-7-.02 - Conflict Of Interest
(1) An
architect shall not accept compensation in connection with services from more
than one party on a project (and never in connection with specifying or
endorsing materials or equipment) unless the circumstances are fully disclosed
to and agreed to (such disclosure and agreement to be in writing) by all
interested parties.
(2) If an
architect has any business association or direct or indirect financial interest
which is substantial enough to influence his or her judgment in connection with
the performance of professional services, the architect shall fully disclose in
writing to his or her client or employer the nature of the business association
or financial interest, and if the client or employer objects to such
association or financial interest, the architect will either terminate such
association or interest or offer to give up the commission or
employment.
(3) An architect shall
not solicit or accept compensation from material or equipment suppliers in
connection with specifying or endorsing their products. As used herein,
"compensation" shall not mean customary and reasonable business hospitality,
entertainment, or product education.
(4) When acting as the interpreter of
building contract documents and the judge of contract performance, an architect
shall render decisions impartially, favoring neither party to the
contract.
