maintenance of the server(s), the installation or testing of software, the loading of additional
Licensed Content as it becomes available, and downtime related to the failure of equipment or
services outside the control of Vendor, including but not limited to public or private
telecommunications services or internet nodes or facilities. Scheduled down-time will be
performed at a time to minimize inconvenience to Library and its Authorized Users. Vendor will
make reasonable efforts to notify the Library five (5) business days in advance of scheduled
interruption or suspension of service due to maintenance. Except where the force majeure
provision applies, unscheduled or scheduled interruption or suspension of service caused by the
Vendor lasting more than forty-eight (48) hours shall constitute a material breach of the
agreement by the Vendor. A refund or a credit against future fees at the option of the Library, or
a prorated credit or refund where interruption or suspension of service is partial, and where
13
partial further adjusted in proportion to the loss of service, shall be due the Library where the
aggregate time of interruption or suspension of service or partial service exceeds twenty-four
(24) hours in any subscription Term.
35. Informal Dispute Resolution.
Except in the event of termination pursuant to Section 4.2, if either City or Vendor has a
claim, dispute, or other matter in question for breach of duty, obligations, services rendered or any
warranty that arises under this Agreement, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter
through this dispute resolution process. The disputing party shall notify the other party in writing as
soon as practicable after discovering the claim, dispute, or breach. The notice shall state the nature
of the dispute and list the party's specific reasons for such dispute. Within ten (10) business days
of receipt of the notice, both parties shall commence the resolution process and make a good faith
effort, either through email, mail, phone conference, in person meetings, or other reasonable means
to resolve any claim, dispute, breach or other matter in question that may arise out of, or in
connection with this Agreement. If the parties fail to resolve the dispute within sixty (60)days of the
date of receipt of the notice of the dispute, then the parties may submit the matter to non-binding
mediation in Tarrant County, Texas, upon written consent of authorized representatives of both
parties in accordance with the Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or
other applicable rules governing mediation then in effect. The mediator shall be agreed to by the
parties. Each party shall be liable for its own expenses, including attorney's fees; however, the
parties shall share equally in the costs of the mediation. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute
through mediation, then either party shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies available
under law regarding the dispute. Notwithstanding the fact that the parties may be attempting to
resolve a dispute in accordance with this informal dispute resolution process, the parties agree
to continue without delay all of their respective duties and obligations under this Agreement not
affected by the dispute. Either party may, before or during the exercise of the informal dispute
resolution process set forth herein, apply to a court having jurisdiction for a temporary restraining
order or preliminary injunction where such relief is necessary to protect its interests.
36. Public Information Act.
Vendor understands and acknowledges that the City is a public entity under the laws of
the State of Texas and as such, all documents held by the City are subject to disclosure under
Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code. Vendor shall clearly indicate to the City what
information it deems proprietary. If the City is required to disclose any documents that may reveal
any Propriety Information to third parties under the Texas Government Code, or by any other legal
process, law, rule or judicial order by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City will notify Vendor
prior to disclosure of such documents and give Vendor the opportunity to submit reasons for
objections to disclosure. The City agrees to restrict access to Vendor's information to those
persons within its organization who have a need to know for the purposes of management of this
Agreement. The City agrees to inform its employees of the obligations under this paragraph and
to enforce rules and procedures that will prevent any unauthorized disclosure or transfer of
information. The City will use its best efforts to secure and protect Vendor's information in the
same manner and to the same degree it protects its own proprietary information; however, the
City does not guarantee that any information deemed proprietary by the Vendor will be protected
from public disclosure if release is required by law. The foregoing obligation regarding
confidentiality shall remain in effect for a period of three (3) years after the expiration of this
Agreement.
37. Section Partial Invalidity.
14
If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
remainder of this Agreement, which shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable
provision had never been a part of this Agreement but in a manner so as to carry out as nearly
as possible the parties' original intent.
38. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the
subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements between the parties regarding such
subject matter.
39. Signature Authority.
The person signing this agreement hereby warrants that he/she has the legal authority to
execute this agreement on behalf of the respective party, and that such binding authority has
been granted by proper order, resolution, ordinance or other authorization of the entity. This
Agreement, and any amendment(s) hereto, may be executed by any authorized representative of
the Vendor whose name, title and signature is affixed on the Verification of Signature Authority
Form, which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated herein by reference. Each party is
fully entitled to rely on these warranties and representations in entering into this Agreement or
any amendment hereto.
