proprietary rights, in and to the Software and any corrections, bug fixes, enhancements,
or updates to the Software. Vendor warrants that it has full power and authority to grant

Software will in no way constitute an infringement or other violation of any copyright,
trade secret, trademark, patent, or other proprietary right of any third party. Vendor

the services in a manner consistent with industry standards reasonable applicable to the
performance thereof.

Agreement, the services are provided on an “as is” basis, and City’s use of the services is
at its own risk. Vendor does not make, and hereby disclaims, any and all other express
and/or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement and title, and any warranties arising from
a course of dealing, usage, or trade practice. Vendor does not warrant that the services
will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.
(d) Disclaimer of Actions Caused by and/or Under the Control of Third

disrupt City’s connections to the internet (or portions thereof). Although Vendor will use
commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions it deems appropriate to remedy and
avoid interruption of services provided under this agreement, vendor cannot guarantee no
disruption with the flow of data provided by third-party internet service providers.
Accordingly, Vendor disclaims any and all liability resulting from an interruption of the flow
of data caused by a third-party internet service provider.

(a) Vendor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City from and
against any claims, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, based upon
infringement of any intellectual property rights, including copyright or patent, by the
Software or its use and/or based upon a breach or unpermitted disclosure of personal
identifying information, including social security numbers, credit card numbers, or any
other similarly private and personal information, managed or retained by Vendor. City
agrees to notify Vendor of any such claim promptly in writing and to allow Vendor to
control the proceedings. City agrees to cooperate with Vendor during such proceedings to
the extent permitted by law and to the extent City’s interests are not in conflict with
Vendor’s interest. Vendor shall defend, with legal counsel approved by City in its
reasonable discretion and resolve at Vendor’s sole expense all proceedings arising out of
the foregoing. In the event of such alleged or actual claims arising out of the foregoing,
Vendor may, after obtaining the City’s prior written consent (which consent may only be
granted if Vendor continues to agree to indemnify the City as set forth in this section),
replace, in whole or in part, the Software with a substantially compatible and functionally
equivalent computer program or modify the Software to avoid such alleged or actual
infringement.
(b) Vendor’s total liability to City regardless of the nature of the claim or
form of action (whether arising in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise), may not
exceed three times the aggregate amount of fees and revenue received by Vendor
hereunder for the Term of the Agreement and restriction provided in Exhibit A; provided,
-6-
however, that the foregoing limitations set forth in this section shall not apply to actions
brought against City for any injury to persons or damages to property arising out of
Vendor’s negligence or willful misconduct, or arising out of Vendor’s material breach of
any warrant/warranty as provided in this Agreement.
9. Insurance. Vendor will maintain a commercial general liability policy in the
amount of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, $2,000,000.00 aggregate, and $2,000,000.00
products and completed operations aggregate. All insurance policies shall name City as an
additional insured. The insurance policy shall contain a severability of interest clause
providing that the coverage shall be primary for losses arising out of Vendor’s
performance hereunder and neither City nor its insurers shall be required to contribute to
any such loss. An endorsement evidencing the foregoing must be submitted concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement and approved by City prior to commencement of the
services hereunder. In addition, Vendor shall maintain Cyber Liability / Technology Errors
and Omissions liability insurance pursuant to the following:
(a) Vendor shall obtain and maintain throughout the duration of the
Agreement cyber liability / technology errors and omissions liability coverage with limits of
$1,000,000 per occurrence/loss. The policy shall at a minimum cover professional
misconduct or lack of the requisite skill required for the performance of services defined in
this Agreement and shall also provide coverage for the following risks:
i) Liability arising from theft, dissemination, and/or use of
confidential information, including but not limited to, bank and credit card account
information or personal information, such as name, address, social security numbers,
stored or transmitted in electronic form;
ii) Network security liability arising from the unauthorized access
to, use of, or tampering with computers or computer systems, including hacker attacks;
iii) Liability arising from the introduction of a computer virus into,
or otherwise causing damage to the City’s or third person’s computer, computer system,
network, or similar computer related property and the data, software, and programs
thereon.
(b) If coverage is maintained on a claims-made basis, Vendor shall
maintain such coverage for an additional period of three (3) years following termination of
this Agreement.
10. Source Code. The uninterrupted availability of the Software is critical to City
in the operation of its business. Vendor agrees to provide the source code to the City
Manager (or authorized designee of the City Manager) through a software source code
escrow agreement to be executed by the parties concurrently with the signing of this
agreement.
The cost of the escrow shall be paid by Vendor. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, any such source code that is delivered, provided, or disclosed
-7-
to City by Vendor, will not be disclosed or distributed by City to any other party. This
provision shall be subject to operation of applicable law.
11. Term and Termination.
(a) Effective Date. This Agreement and the license granted hereunder
shall take effect upon the date the last party executes this Agreement.
(b) Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions in

order.
(e) Upon termination of this Agreement, City may elect to receive either
associated data files from Vendor’s system(s) or read only access for a determined period,
pursuant to the following:
i) City Data Post-Termination: Upon request within ninety (90)
days of expiration of the Term, Vendor shall provide City with a dedicate data file from the
system(s) or provide a proprietary and confidential delete of data. The dedicated data files
will be comprised of City’s standard data contained in Vendor’s “Insight” and “Perform”
system. The structure of the relational database will be specific to the City’s data and will
not be representative of the proprietary Vendor database. For data residing on Vendor
systems for more than ninety (90) days after the date of expiration and termination of
this Agreement, Vendor retains the right to purge such data from Vendor systems without
additional consent from the City.
ii) Read Only Access: If City request Vendor maintain read-only
access after termination of this Agreement, City acknowledges and agrees to an upfront
payment worth 10% of the annual license of this Agreement. Access to the system(s)
shall be limited to the functionality included at time of termination.
12. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be in default or otherwise liable for any
delay in or failure of its performance under this Agreement if such delay or failure arises
due to any act of God, any acts of the common enemy, the elements, earthquakes, floods,
fires, epidemics, riots, failures or delay in transportation or communications; provided,
however, that lack of funds shall not be deemed to be a reason beyond a party’s
reasonable control. The parties will promptly inform and consult with each other as to any
-8-
