It comes up fairly often that a client or building owner will ask for the CAD backgrounds from an old set of drawings that I created. Depending on the situation I would typically just provide them or charge a small fee to provide them, however someone recently brought it to my attention that I should have some kind of disclosure agreement signed when I release those files where it is agreed to that they carry no warranty or guarantee of accuracy and should be verified before use, etc.
I had never thought about this before, but it does make a lot of sense. In order to reduce the paperwork and having to ask my client to directly sign a form as that may be seen as hostile I was thinking about including some text in every CAD file that states that use of this file constitutes agreement to these terms, etc.
Has anyone implemented something like this? Is this a common practice? If so does anyone have example language that they can provide so that I can make something to add to my files.
Thanks in advance for any help.
