6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

The architecture and engineering drawing world has changed over the past few years. We are using smarter, more efficient, and better tools. However, title block templates have stayed consistent through all these changes. 

Professionals in architectural engineering design should know about it. This article will discuss all the title block templates for your understanding. Let’s begin with the definition of the title block template. 

What is a title block template?

Title blocks are part of architecture design that collects all the important information required for a working drawing. These title blocks can contain general and specific details—depending on how the professionals use them. 

For example, the data in the title blocks may represent a company policy or a drawing. However, the form of these title blocks may differ for each company. So, a company with large castings uses different notes compared to a company creating dies and smaller tools. 

Importance of title block templates

The title block templates are an essential part of the design process as they allow the designers to keep all necessary information in check. It also helps identify the drawing, eases understanding, and streamlines the processes involved. Without the title block templates, knowing what the drawing means becomes challenging.

Types of title blocks

There are three different sizes of title blocks used in drawing. These sizes are as follows:

  • A block used for A-, B-, C-, and G-size drawings
  • A slightly larger block for D-, E-, F-, H-, J-, and K-size drawings
  • Vertical title block.

Benefits of using a title block template

Creating a title block template allows users to add a new sheet to the design almost instantly. You won’t have to create the sheet layouts from step 1, saving a lot of time. Moreover, you don’t need an individual sheet for every design if you use a template. 

Anatomy of a title block template

Professionals must understand the anatomy of the title block templates before using them. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand better.

Essential elements of a title block template

The essential elements of a title block template include the following:

  • The title
  • Scale
  • Date of creation.
  • Author name

A title block template is incomplete without these elements. Therefore, we recommend ensuring every template has it.

Placement of title block templates

The right placement for the title block template is at the bottom right of the sheet. This placement is the most used but may also change in some drawings. Therefore, we recommend keeping it on the bottom right of the sheet as an industry practice.

Tips for designing an effective title block template

Creating the perfect title block template may seem like a lot of work, and that’s not entirely wrong. Here are some tips to help you:

  • Choose between the border and no border options right away
  • Add the contact info and your company logo that’s 1” wide
  • Add all the disclaimers to the title blocks with a one-liner
  • Keep the awards and affiliations to a minimal

Types of title block templates

The title block templates are some of the most commonly used elements within the industry. Even in architectural drawings, they play a vital role. However, there are two different types of these title blocks that every professional should know about. Here’s a quick look at them.

Architectural title block templates

The architectural title block templates follow the standard bottom-right orientation on the sheet. However, the architectural block templates have a pre-defined set of :

  • Styles
  • Plot styles
  • Layers
  • Blocks

Landscape architecture title block templates

The landscape architectural title block templates are another design variation used. The only difference between the two is the orientation of the sheet – this type of block template uses landscape orientation, flipping the sheet completely.

Creating a title block template

Now that we’ve quickly discussed the basics of the title block template—it’s time to create one. Title block template creation may sound simple enough, but it can take a lot of effort, especially if you have no prior experience. Here’s a quick look into creating title block templates:

Steps to creating a title block template

Creating a title block template requires a step-by-step approach. There’s a variety of different software you can use for the task. However, the general process looks something like the following:

  1. Go to the ‘Insert’ tab on the top ribbon
  2. Click ‘Create Block’
  3. A drop-down menu will show up next. Click on ‘Write Block’ in the drop-down menu.
  4. Next, a Block Definition dialogue box will open, allowing the users to select.
  5. Select Objects, enter coordinates, or select pick point under Basepoint. This way, you can pick a point on the title block and create it.
  6. You can also use the quick select button to pick out the title block objects. 

Tools and software for creating title block templates

There’s a variety of different tools and software used for creating title block templates. A smart Sketch is a popular option for professionals that want to create title block templates efficiently. You can use the following tools for creating the templates:

  • T-square
  • Triangles (right angle and isosceles)
  • Steel rule
  • Mechanical pencil
  • Masking tape (drafting dots)
  • Lettering guide
  • Eraser shield
  • drafting pencil with 2H lead (most versatile for drawing at this stage)
  • Drafting brush
  • Drafting board

Similarly, you can use an Inventor Resource Manager to edit and change existing title block templates at will. The tool within the tool edits the template as required and helps the users personalize their designs.
