Ala. Admin. Code r. 100-X-7-.03 - Full Disclosure
(1) An
architect, making public statements on architectural questions, shall disclose
when he or she is being compensated for making such statement or when he or she
has an economic interest in the issue.
(2) An architect shall accurately represent
to a prospective or existing client or employer his or her qualifications and
the scope of his or her responsibility in connection with work for which he or
she is claiming credit.
(3) If, in
the course of his or her work on a project, an architect becomes aware of a
decision taken by his or her employer or client, against the architect's
advice, which violates applicable state or municipal building laws and
regulations and which will, in the architect's judgment, materially and
adversely affect the safety to the public of the finished project, the
architect shall:
(a) report the decision to
the local building inspector or other public official charged with the
enforcement of the applicable state or municipal building laws and
regulations,
(b) refuse to consent
to the decision, and
(c) in
circumstances where the architect reasonably believes that other such decisions
will be taken notwithstanding his or her objection, terminate his or her
services with reference to the project unless the architect is able to cause
the matter to be resolved by other means.
1.
In the case of a termination in accordance with (c) above, the architect shall
have no liability to his or her client or employer on account of such
termination.
(4) An architect shall not deliberately make
a false statement or fail deliberately to disclose accurately and completely a
material fact requested in connection with his or her application for
registration or renewal or otherwise lawfully requested by the Board.
(5) An architect shall not assist the
application for registration of a person known by the architect to be
unqualified in respect to education, training, experience, or character. An
architect possessing knowledge of an applicant's qualifications for
registration shall cooperate with the applicant, the Board, and/or NCARB by
responding appropriately regarding those qualifications when requested to do
so. An architect shall provide timely verification of employment and/or
training units earned by an intern-architect under his or her supervision if
there is reasonable assurance that the facts to be verified are accurate. An
architect shall not withhold such verification as a punitive act against a
current or former employee. An architect shall not knowingly sign any
verification document that contains false or misleading information.
(6) An architect possessing knowledge of a
violation of these rules by another architect shall report such knowledge to
the Board.
