Curious as to what the good people of this board think about this note:
THIS SURVEY WAS PREPARED FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE CLIENT NAMED HEREON, ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. ITS USE DOES NOT EXTEND TO AND IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE BY ANY UNNAMED PERSON OR PERSONS. THIS SURVEY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY WITHOUT THE EXPRESS PERMISSION AND RECERTIFICARTION BY THIS SURVEYOR TO ANOTHER PARTY.
TIA

This is substantially the same as the disclaimer that I use.
Recockulous.
Especially if the survey is publicly filed. Our loyalties are to the boundaries, not individual clients. Anyone ever heard of protecting and serving the public!?

The author's financial liability is probably limited in this way, with or without the disclaimer. But his professional obligations are not.
Ah yes, the Elusive Recertificartion.
I don't think it accomplishes what he thinks it does. I don't believe his exposure to liability is changed with or without the disclaimer.
Is farcation when you go on vacation somewhere far away?
The ALTAfication of the surveying profession right there.
I have never used a disclaimer and never will. Check your work carefully and you don't need one.
IT'S USE DOES NOT
"Its use" ... no apostrophe on the possessive, like his and hers. "It's" is a contraction for "it is"
@hi-staker our loyalties first and foremost are to our clients who pay for out professional services. Unless we are engaged in a government contract, we do not survey for the public at large.
Apparently I'm more stupider than I thought because nowhere that I can see does it mention anything regarding the quality of the work performed. Seems to me he's simply trying to protect his financial interest.
Let’s face it, the harsh reality is surveyors are sued because of their deep pockets. Wait until they find out what plumbers charge.
The surveys I perform are of existing historical boundaries. It is not mandatory to record the maps unless the land is being subdivided, however I encourage my clients to do so. It helps others to know that a boundary has been surveyed, and where to look for the marks. I can't see how that would be a bad thing. If you want the results of a survey to be private then don't publish it.
