I will ensure that the home is staffed during tour hours (April 26-27, 2025, Noon - 5 pm) by a knowledgeable person who can explain the green features of the home. ENTRY AFFIRMATION. The HBAs (HBADOC and HBARWC) and I agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against all claims, losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities for bodily injury, death, or property damage arising out of or in connection with any and all occurrences on or about the home, caused in whole or in part by the other. I agree to furnish a Certificate of Insurance documenting their General Liability insurance coverage of our business and Tour entry. The insurance certificate should list the HBA as an additional insured during Tour dates. (I will request this from our insurance carrier). BUILDER AGREEMENT. This entry is the result of an original design and I have obtained the legal right to use the design from the copyright owner and to the design as represented in the structure, plans, specifications and drawings for the house.

I hereby indemnify and hold harmless HBADOC and HBARWC from any and all claims of third parties, including, but not limited to, copyright infringement or conversion, which may be asserted as a result of the inclusion of the house in the Tour or the inclusion of the drawings or floor plans of the house in any publication, including on the Tour page, of the HBA publicizing or in conjunction with the 2025 High Performance Home Tour. If an Act of God prevents the scheduled events from being observed, I agree that the High Performance Home Tour committee shall have the authority to re-schedule the Tour dates at its sole discretion.
