IP Indemnification. Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend, settle, or pay, at its own cost and
expense, including the payment of attorney's fees, any claim or action against the City for
infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, service mark, trade secret, or other intellectual
property right arising from City's use of the Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, in accordance
with the Agreement, it being understood that the agreement to indemnify, defend, settle or pay
shall not apply if City modifies or misuses the Deliverable(s). So long as Vendor bears the cost and
expense of payment for claims or actions against the City pursuant to this section 8, Vendor shall
have the right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, City shall have
the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to
protect the City's interest, and City agrees to cooperate with Vendor in doing so. In the event City,
for whatever reason, assumes the responsibility for payment of costs and expenses for any claim
or action brought against the City for infringement arising under the Agreement, the City shall
have the sole right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, Vendor shall fully
participate and cooperate with the City in defense of such claim or action. City agrees to give
Vendor timely written notice of any such claim or action, with copies of all papers City may receive
relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City's assumption of payment of costs or
expenses shall not eliminate Vendor's duty to indemnify the City under the Agreement. If the
Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, is held to infringe and the use thereof is enjoined or restrained
or, if as a result of a settlement or compromise, such use is materially adversely restricted,
Vendor shall, at its own expense and as City's sole remedy, either: (a) procure for City the right to
continue to use the Deliverable(s); or (b) modify the Deliverable(s) to make them/it non-infringing,
provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the
Deliverable(s); or (c) replace the Deliverable(s) with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally
equivalent non-infringing Deliverable(s) at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the
foregoing alternatives is reasonably available to Vendor, terminate the Agreement, and refund all
amounts paid to Vendor by the City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all
remedies available to City under law. VENDOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE
SECURED BY THE REQUISITE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY CITY.
Data Breach. Vendor further agrees that it will monitor and test its data safeguards from
time to time, and further agrees to adjust its data safeguards from time to time in light of relevant
circumstances or the results of any relevant testing or monitoring. If Vendor suspects or becomes
aware of any unauthorized access to any financial or personal identifiable information ("Personal
Data") by any unauthorized person or third party, or becomes aware of any other security breach
relating to Personal Data held or stored by Vendor under the Agreement or in connection with the
performance of any services performed under the Agreement or any Statement(s) of Work ("Data
Breach"), Vendor shall immediately notify City in writing and shall fully cooperate with City at
Vendor's expense to prevent or stop such Data Breach. In the event of such Data Breach, Vendor
shall fully and immediately comply with applicable laws, and shall take the appropriate steps to
remedy such Data Breach. Vendor will defend, indemnify and hold City, its Affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims,
suits, causes of action, liability, loss, costs and damages, including reasonable attorney fees, arising
out of or relating to any third party claim arising from breach by Vendor of its obligations
contained in this Section, except to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of City. All
Personal Data to which Vendor has access under the Agreement, as between Vendor and City, will
remain the property of City. City hereby consents to the use, processing and/or disclosure of
Personal Data only for the purposes described herein and to the extent such use or processing is
necessary for Vendor to carry out its duties and responsibilities under the Agreement, any
applicable Statement(s) of Work, or as required by law. Vendor will not transfer Personal Data to
third parties other than through its underlying network provider to perform its obligations under
the Agreement, unless authorized in writing by City. Vendor's obligation to defend, hold harmless
and indemnify City shall remain in full effect if the Data Breach is the result of the actions of a
third party. All Personal Data delivered to Vendor shall be stored in the United States or other
jurisdictions approved by City in writing and shall not be transferred to any other countries or
jurisdictions without the prior written consent of City.
The undersigned represents and warrants that he or she has the power and authority to execute this
Agreement and bind the respective Vendor.

7. Software License Agreements
A. Shrink/Click-wrap License Agreement
Regardless of any other provision or other license terms which may be issued by Vendor after
the effective date of this Contract, and irrespective of whether any such provisions have been
proposed prior to or after the issuance of a Purchase Order for products licensed under this

supersede and govern the license terms between Customers and Vendor. It is the

In the event that conflicting or additional terms in Vendor Software License Agreements,
Shrink/Click Wrap License Agreements, Service Agreements or linked or supplemental

referenced documents comprising this contract; provided further that any update to such
linked documents shall only apply to purchases or leases of the associated Vendor product or

Vendor Contract No.
or after the initial date of Vendor's initial response shall apply to that purchase unless Vendor

In the event that different or additional terms or conditions would otherwise result from
accessing a linked document, agreement to said linked document shall not be effective until
reviewed and approved in writing by Customer's authorized signatory.
Vendor shall not [without prior written agreement from Customer's authorized signatory,]
require any document that: 1) diminishes the rights, benefits, or protections of the
Customer, or that alters the definitions, measurements, or method for determining any
authorized rights, benefits, or protections of the Customer; or 2) imposes additional costs,
burdens, or obligations upon Customer, or that alters the definitions, measurements, or
method for determining any authorized costs, burdens, or obligations upon Customer.
If Vendor attempts to do any of the foregoing, the prohibited documents will be void and
inapplicable to the contract between DIR and Vendor or Vendor and Customer, and Vendor
will nonetheless be obligated to perform the contract without regard to the prohibited
documents, unless Customer elects instead to terminate the contract, which in such case may
be identified as a termination for cause against Vendor.

between Customer and a reseller who attempts to pass through documents and obligations
from its Manufacturer of Publisher.
