Changes to work may be made as the work progresses. The owner agrees that any changes to the system installed by Alpha that differ from the written Invoice or Proposal shall be conclusive proof of the owner’s authorization to change the system from the Invoice or Proposal. The owner will pay all costs associated with change orders and receive any cost reduction associated with the deletion and/or substitution of work.
