(collectively the "Network"). Vendor wishes to access the City's network in order to move the

a hosted environment. In order to provide the necessary support, Vendor needs access to the Water
Department network (the "Services").
2. Grant of Limited Access. Vendor is hereby granted a limited right of access to the
City's Network for the sole purpose of providing the Services. Such access is granted subject to
the terms and conditions forth in this Agreement and applicable provisions of the City's

applicable provisions are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement for
all purposes herein and are available upon request.
3. Network Credentials. The City will provide Vendor with Network Credentials
consisting of user IDs and passwords unique to each individual requiring Network access on behalf
of the Vendor. If this access is being granted for purposes of completing services for the City
pursuant to a separate contract, then, this Agreement will expire at the completion of the contracted
services, or upon termination of the contracted services, whichever occurs first. Otherwise, access
rights will automatically expire one (1) year from the date of this Agreement ("Expiration Date").

force or effect.

capacity, and enhanced campaigns for customer outreach via the Outbound Dialer. Moving the IVR off
of Water Department servers will lower the compliance level for handling payment card transactions
and reduce the City's risk.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager in the amount up to the maximum allowed under state law and the City Code and
does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERMS - Upon City Council approval, this Agreement shall begin on April 6, 2023, and
end on April 5, 2024.
RENEWAL OPTIONS - This Agreement may be auto -renewed for up to four additional one-year terms
at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City
Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
DVIN - Water Department/Water IT was approved for a sole source exemption by the Legal
Department. Therefore, the business equity goal requirement is not applicable.
Funding is budgeted in Other Contractual Services account within the Water Department's Water &
Sewer Fund, as appropriated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds are available
in the current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the Water and Sewer Fund. Prior to
an expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility to validate the availability
of funds.

acknowledges and agrees that it shall not use the Licensed
Software for any purpose other than the purpose for which

Software's failure to substantially comply with the limited
warranty set forth in Section 7.2 in sufficient detail to
enable Selectron to reproduce such failure, the Service
Fees for the non -conforming Licensed Software shall be
suspended until Selectron corrects any such substantial
non -conformity. If Licensee does not provide such notice
during the testing period, the Licensed Software shall be
deemed accepted, and Licensee's sole remedy for any non-
conformance shall be the Technical Support Services
provided hereunder.

or request that Selectron create unique log -in credentials,
consisting of a "User Identification" and "User Password",
for each individual Authorized User who shall be accessing
the Licensed Software. Licensee hereby acknowledges
that Licensee and its Authorized Users bear sole
responsibility for protecting the confidentiality of all User
Passwords and shall remain fully responsible and liable for
(and Selectron shall not be responsible or liable for) any
unauthorized use of any User Identifications or User
Passwords. Licensee shall not share or disclose, and shall
not permit any Authorized User to share or disclose, such
Authorized User's log -in credentials with or to any other
individual or entity, even if such other individual is also an

cause to be terminated by requesting that Selectron
terminate) the User Identification for any individual who
ceases to be an Authorized User for any reason, including
without limitation due to termination of such individual's
employment with Licensee. Licensee shall promptly notify
Selectron if it discovers or suspects that any log -in
credentials have been accessed or used by any person
other than the Authorized User to which such log -in
credentials were granted, in which case Selectron shall
promptly reset or provide Licensee with a means of
resetting the password associated with such log -in
credentials.
3.4 Customer Tools. Licensee may permit its
customers to access and use the Customer Tools solely
through Licensee's website and/or an application that is
set up and maintained as part of the Services, and solely
for the purpose of enabling such customers to (a) receive
notifications sent by or on behalf of Licensee, (b) make
payments to Licensee, (c) view their invoices from Licensee
and history of payments to Licensee, and (d) update their
contact information with Licensee.

Software. Licensee understands and agrees that Selectron
may make modifications and updates to the Licensed
Software from time to time. Selectron may determine in
its sole discretion whether to provide such modifications
and updates to Licensee and its other customers as an
Update hereunder, or whether such modifications and
updates will be issued as a separate or new product or
premium version of the Licensed Software that is available
only at an additional charge.

shall be solely responsible for acquiring and maintaining,
at its own expense, the necessary equipment and Internet
and telecommunication services required to access the
Licensed Software and the Services. Licensee
acknowledges that Selectron shall have no obligation to

documented and reasonable travel and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Selectron in connection with the
performance of any Services.
4.2 Payment Terms. Unless different
payment terms are set forth in Exhibit A, all fees and
expenses payable hereunder shall be due thirty (30) days
from the date of invoice, and any amounts not paid when
due will incur late fee charges at the rate of 1.5% per
month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law,
whichever is lower, calculated on a daily basis. If any
amounts are past due and outstanding, Selectron reserves
the right to suspend the licenses granted hereunder,
suspend access to the Licensed Software, and discontinue
the Services until all outstanding amounts are paid.
Selectron is entitled to recover all costs of collection,
including attorney's fees and related expenses.
4.3 Disputed Amounts. Any disputed
charges must be presented by Licensee to Selectron in
writing within fifteen (15) days of the date of invoice, and
the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to promptly
resolve any disputed invoice within fifteen (15) days of
Selectron's receipt of Licensee's written notice of dispute.
In the event Licensee disputes any amounts invoiced by
Selectron in good faith, the undisputed amount shall be
paid when due, and only disputed amounts shall be
withheld pending resolution of the dispute. If payment of
a disputed amount has already been made and later
resolution of the dispute is in Licensee's favor, a credit will
be issued by Selectron to Licensee on the next invoice.
4.4 Fee Increases. During the Initial Term,
the Service Fees set forth in Exhibit A shall apply. After the
Initial Term (as defined in Section 11.1 below), Selectron
may increase or change its fees by providing Licensee with
notice of such increase or change at least ninety (90) days
prior to the effective date of such increase or change.
Licensee's sole alternative to such fee increase or change

of termination to Selectron within twenty (20) days after
receipt of the notice of price increase or change, which
termination will become effective thirty (30) days after
such written notice of termination.

Agreement are in U.S. Dollars and are exclusive of any
applicable taxes. Licensee shall pay, indemnify, and hold
Selectron harmless from all import and export duties,
customs fees, levies, or imposts, and all sales, use, value
added, or other taxes or governmental charges of any
nature, including penalties and interest, and all
government permit or license fees assessed upon or with
respect to any products sold, leased, or licensed to
Licensee and any services rendered to Licensee; provided,
however, that Licensee shall not be responsible for paying
any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Selectron's
income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel, or real or
personal property or other assets.

any portions thereof, including without limitation any copy
or Derivative Work of the Licensed Software (or any
portion thereof) and any Updates and upgrades thereto.
Licensee agrees to take any action reasonably requested
by Selectron to evidence, maintain, enforce, or defend the
foregoing. Licensee shall not take any action to jeopardize,
encumber, limit, or interfere in any manner with
Selectron's or its licensors' ownership of and rights with
respect to the Licensed Software or Service, or any

Information to any third party without the disclosing
party's express prior written consent; provided, however,
that each party (the "receiving party") may disclose
Proprietary Information of the other party (the "disclosing
party") (a) to such receiving party's employees, directors,
officers, contractors, and agents (collectively,
"Representatives") who have a need to know such
information and who have been advised of and have

inventions, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object
codes, data, other works of authorship, know-how,

research, development, new products, marketing and
selling, budgets and unpublished financial statements,
licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; (c)
information regarding the skills and compensation of
employees, and (d) other information about or belonging
to such disclosing party that the receiving party should
reasonably know, due to the nature of the information or
the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, is regarded
by the disclosing party as confidential. Proprietary
Information includes reports, analyses, notes, and other
information or materials that contain or are derived using
the disclosing party's Proprietary Information, even if
developed in whole or in part by the receiving party.
For clarity, information about the Licensed Software,

receiving party from a third party without confidentiality
limitations; (c) it has been independently developed by the
receiving party without reference to or use of the
disclosing party's Proprietary Information; or (d) it was
rightfully known to the receiving party prior to its first
receipt from the disclosing party. The receiving party shall
be entitled to disclose the disclosing party's Proprietary
Information if required by law or a judicial order; provided
that the receiving party first provides prompt notice of the
required disclosure to the disclosing party, and complies
with any protective or similar order obtained by the
disclosing party limiting the required disclosure.
7. Representations and Warranties; Warranty

powers, as the case may be (b) has been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate, municipal, or governmental
action on such party's part, and (c) does not and shall not

other undertaking, applicable to such party.
7.2 Limited Software Warranty and
Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the limitations set forth in
this Agreement, Selectron represents and warrants to
Licensee that the Licensed Software, when used in
accordance with the Documentation, shall throughout the
Term substantially conform to the functional specifications
in such Documentation. If Licensee finds what it
reasonably believes to be a failure of the Licensed
Software to substantially conform to the functional
specifications in the Documentation, and provides
Selectron with a written report that describes such failure
in sufficient detail to enable Selectron to reproduce such
failure, Selectron shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to correct or provide a workaround for such failure
at no additional charge to Licensee in accordance with
Exhibit B hereto. Outside the United States, this limited
warranty is only available with proof of purchase from an
authorized source. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
ABOVE, SELECTRON PROVIDES THE LICENSED SOFTWARE
TO LICENSEE "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." SELECTRON
MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ALL ERRORS, FAILURES, OR
DEFECTS SHALL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ACCESS TO OR
USE OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE SHALL BE
UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR -FREE, OR SECURE. NO ORAL OR
WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE PROVIDED BY
SELECTRON, ITS AGENTS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES, SHALL
CREATE ANY WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE
SCOPE OF THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT. This Section states the entire liability of
Selectron and the sole and exclusive remedy of Licensee
with respect to any breach of the foregoing express
warranty.
7.3 Limited Services Warranty and
Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the limitations set forth in
this Agreement, Selectron warrants that the Services shall
be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner.
Selectron's sole obligation, and Licensee's exclusive
remedy for breach of the foregoing warranty, is that
Selectron shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
re -perform the Services or otherwise cure such breach. If,
in Selectron's sole judgement, curing the breach is not
commercially feasible, Selectron shall credit Licensee for a
portion of the fees allocable to the affected period of time
that is proportionate to the period the Services or
Licensee's ability to access or use the Licensed Software
was impaired.
7.4 Disclaimer of Other Warranties. THE
EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7 AND
SECTION 8.5.5 CONSTITUTE THE ONLY WARRANTIES
MADE BY SELECTRON WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED
SOFTWARE AND THE SERVICES AND ANY OTHER SUBJECT
MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. SELECTRON MAKES NO
OTHER, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER,
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF
ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED (EITHER IN FACT
OR BY OPERATION OF LAW), OR STATUTORY, WITH
RESPECT TO THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, THE SERVICES, OR
ANY OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.
SELECTRON EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT,
AND ALL WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF
DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF
TRADE. SELECTRON DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY USE
OF OR ACCESS TO THE LICENSED SOFTWARE SHALL BE
ERROR -FREE OR SECURE, OR THAT OPERATION OF THE
LICENSED SOFTWARE SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED, AND
HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT HAS RELIED ON NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN
THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN SECTION 7 AND SECTION
8.55 OF THIS AGREEMENT.
7.5 Defects Not Covered by Warranties.
Selectron shall have no obligations under Section 7.2 to
the extent any nonconformance or failure of, or error in,
the Licensed Software is caused by (a) use of any
attachment, feature, hardware, software, or device in
connection with the Licensed Software, or combination of
the Licensed Software with any other materials or service,
unless the combination is performed by Selectron;
(b) transportation, neglect, misuse, or misapplication of
the Licensed Software, or any use of the Licensed Software
that is not in accordance with this Agreement, the EULA,
and/or the Documentation; (c) alteration, modification, or
enhancement of the Licensed Software, except as may be
performed by Selectron; (d) failure to provide a suitable
use environment for all or any part of the Licensed
Software; or (e) failure to maintain systems and
environments that are compatible with Updates.
8. Security
8.1 Internet Security. Selectron's Licensed
Software is made available through the Internet and may
be used to access and transfer information over the
Internet. Licensee is solely responsible for the security and
integrity of information it transfers from the Licensed
Software, if any. Selectron makes no representations or
warranties to Licensee regarding (a) the security or privacy
of Licensee's network environment, or (b) any third -party
technologies' or services' ability to meet Licensee's
security and privacy needs. These third -party technologies
and services may include, but are not limited to, operating
systems, database management systems, web servers, and
payment processing services. Licensee is solely
responsible for ensuring a secure environment for
information it transfers from the Licensed Software, if any.
Further, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Selectron
does not operate or control the Internet and that Selectron
shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with a
breach of security or privacy regarding the Licensed
Software or information contained therein that is caused
by (a) viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other undesirable
data or software; (b) unauthorized users, e.g., hackers; or
(c) any other third party or activity beyond Selectron's
reasonable control; in each of the foregoing cases, except
to the extent caused by Selectron's breach of Section 8.4
or 8.5.
8.2 Remote Access Security. In order to
enable code development and support and maintenance
of the software, Selectron may require remote access
capability. Remote access is normally provided by
installing PC -Anywhere, ControllT, or other industry
standard remote access software. It may also be provided
through a Licensee solution such as VPN access.
Regardless of what method is used to provide remote
access, or which party provides remote access software, it
is Licensee's responsibility to ensure that the remote
access method meets Licensee's security requirements.
Selectron makes no representations or warranties to
Licensee regarding the remote access software's ability to
meet Licensee's security or privacy needs. Selectron also
makes no recommendation for any specific package or
approach with regard to security. Licensee is solely
responsible for ensuring a secure network environment.
8.3 Outbound Services Disclaimer.
Outbound services are intended to create additional
methods of communication for Licensee's employees who
use the Licensed Software in support of existing processes.
These services are not intended to replace all interaction
with Licensee's end users or employees. While the
outbound services have been created with the best
available tools and practices, they are dependent on
infrastructure that is inherently not fail -proof, including
but not limited to infrastructure such as software,
computer hardware, network services, telephone services,
and e-mail. Examples of situations that could cause failure
include but are not limited to: down phone lines, all lines
busy, equipment failure, email address changes, and
Internet service disruptions. For this reason, while
outbound services are valuable in providing enhanced
communication, they are specifically not designed to be
used as the sole method to deliver critical messages.
Licensee acknowledges that it is aware of the potential
hazards associated with relying on an automated
outbound service feature, when using the Licensed
Software, and Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it is
giving up in advance any right to sue or make any claim
against Selectron, and that Licensee forever releases
Selectron from any and all liability caused by (a) any failed
call attempts (including excess of calls over and above
network or system capacity), incomplete calls, or any busy -
outs; (b) any failure to transmit, obtain or collect data from
callers or for human and machine errors, faulty or
erroneous input, inarticulate caller communication, caller
delays or call lengths exceeding estimated call lengths or
omissions, delays and losses in connection with the
Services provided hereunder; or (c) if Licensee, Licensee's
employees, or Licensee's end user suffer injury or damage
due to the failure of outbound services to operate, even
though Licensee does not know what or how extensive
those injuries or damages might be, unless such losses
were directly attributable to Selectron's gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
8.4 Privacy and Security Standards.
Selectron agrees that it will gather, collect, receive,
generate, store, use, maintain, transmit, process, import,
export, transfer and disclose the Licensee Data
substantially in compliance with applicable data
protection, security, breach notification and privacy laws,
rules, regulations and industry standards to which
Selectron is subject. Selectron shall, at all times, use
reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the
Licensee Data in its possession or care, including technical,
administrative, and physical safeguards that are
appropriate given the nature of the Licensee Data.
8.5 PCI Compliance. Selectron warrants
that, during the Term of this Agreement, (a) all system
components, people, processes, and the cardholder data
environment that are used in Selectron's collection,
transmittal, or other processing of PCI Data on behalf of
Licensee are and shall remain compliant with the
applicable provisions of PCI DSS; and (b) Selectron
PayEngine'", Selectron's proprietary payment application,
is and shall remain compliant with PA-DSS. On an annual
basis or upon Licensee's request, Selectron shall provide
Licensee with an Attestation of Compliance or Attestation
of Validation confirming such compliance.
8.6 Incident Response. In the event
Selectron becomes aware of a confirmed or suspected
Security Incident involving the unauthorized disclosure or
theft of PCI Data, Selectron shall (a) notify Licensee, (b)
cooperate in any investigation, (c) promptly take
reasonable measures to prevent further unauthorized
access or use of the Licensee Data, (d) cooperate with
Licensee's notification to affected individuals if such
notification is required by applicable law or regulation, and
(e) perform all such other acts, or cooperate with
Licensee's performance of all such other acts, that are
required with respect to such Security Incident by
applicable law or regulation.
8.7 Limited Scope of PCI Data Processing.
The parties acknowledge that Selectron's sole processing
of PCI Data on behalf of Licensee shall consist of (a)
collecting PCI Data needed to facilitate payments to
Licensee, (b) transmitting such PCI Data to a third party
payment gateway designated by Licensee, and (c)
receiving confirmation via the payment gateway that the
payment transaction has been completed. After
transmittal of PCI Data to the payment gateway, Selectron
will not retain, store, or continue to use or process such
PCI Data.
8.8 Data Transfers Between Licensee and
Selectron. The parties acknowledge that, to facilitate
providing the Services and the Licensed Software,
Selectron and Licensee shall regularly transfer Licensee
Data to each other. Licensee, not Selectron, is responsible
for providing and maintaining a secure file transfer
protocol for such transfer of Licensee Data, and shall be
responsible for maintaining the security of the system
components, environment, and procedures of such file
transfer protocol.
8.9 Licensee's Privacy Practices. Licensee
acknowledges that the Licensee Data includes information
about individuals with whom Licensee, rather than
Selectron, has direct relationships. Therefore, it is
Licensee's obligation, and not Selectron's obligation, to
provide any privacy notices or disclosures to, and obtain
any consent from, such individuals as may be required by
applicable law with respect to processing of the Licensee
Data by Selectron on Licensee's behalf. Licensee
represents, warrants, and covenants to Selectron that (a)
Licensee has the authority to transmit the Licensee Data to
Selectron; and (b) Selectron's collection, storage,
transmittal, and other processing of the Licensee Data on
behalf of Licensee, as described in the Documentation and
this Agreement, does not and will not violate any
applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, contracts,
policies, orders, or decrees to which Licensee is subject.
9. Indemnification
9.1 Infringement Indemnity Obligations of
Selectron. Selectron shall defend any action brought
against Licensee to the extent it is based on a third party
claim that use by Licensee of the Licensed Software as
furnished hereunder, which use is in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, directly infringes
or misappropriates any valid United States patent,
copyright, or trade secret. Selectron shall pay any
liabilities, costs, damages, and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) finally awarded against
Licensee in such action that are attributable to such claim.
Licensee agrees to promptly notify Selectron of any known
or suspected infringement or misappropriation of
Selectron's proprietary rights of which Licensee becomes
aware. Should the Licensed Software become, or be likely
to become in Selectron's opinion, the subject of any claim
of infringement, Selectron may, at its option (a) procure
for Licensee the right to continue using the potentially
infringing materials; (b) replace or modify the potentially
infringing materials to make them non -infringing; or
(c) terminate this Agreement and provide Licensee with a
refund equal to the set-up fees paid by Licensee, less an
amount equal to the depreciated portion of such fees
calculated on a five (5) year straight-line basis. This
Section 9.1 states the entire liability of Selectron and the
exclusive remedy of Licensee with respect to infringement
of any third -party intellectual property or other rights,
whether under theory of warranty, indemnity, or
otherwise.
9.2 Infringement Indemnity Obligations of
Licensee. Selectron shall have no liability for any claim
based upon (a) the use, operation, or combination of the
Licensed Software with non-Selectron programs, data,
equipment, or documentation if liability would have been
avoided but for such use, operation, or combination;
(b) use of other than the then -current, unaltered version
of the Licensed Software that incorporates all Updates;
(c) Licensee's or its agents' or Employees' activities after
Selectron has notified Licensee that Selectron believes
such activities may result in infringement; (d) any
modifications to or markings of the Licensed Software that
are not specifically authorized in writing by Selectron;
(e) any third party software; (f) any Licensee Data; or
(g) Licensee's breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.
Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold Selectron
harmless for, from and against all liabilities, costs,
damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's
fees) awarded against or incurred by Selectron in such
action(s) that are attributable to such claim.
9.3 Security Related Indemnity Obligations
of Selectron. If an investigation performed by a qualified
third party forensic investigator confirms that a Security
Incident was caused solely by an act or omission of
Selectron, including any security vulnerability in system
components, procedures, or environments owned or
controlled by Selectron, then Selectron shall defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless Licensee for, from and
against all liabilities, costs, damages, fines, penalties, and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred
by Licensee as a result of such Security Incident, including
the reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable costs
of notification to affected individuals and providing credit
monitoring or other fraud prevention services, but only to
the extent such notification, credit monitoring, or other
fraud prevention services are required by applicable laws,
regulations, a court order or consent decree, or the terms
of a settlement and release of claims arising from such
Security Incident that Selectron has consented to
(collectively, "Losses").
9.4 Security Related Indemnity Obligations
of Licensee. Selectron shall have no liability or obligation
to defend or indemnify Licensee with respect to any Losses
caused by Licensee's breach of Sections 8.8 or 8.9 or any
Security Incident to the extent caused in whole or in part
by an act or omission of Licensee or any third party (other
than Selectron's subcontractors) or any of their affiliates,
employees, directors, officers, agents, or contractors
(other than Selectron), including without limitation any of
the following acts or omissions: (a) their loss of control of
any device, (b) their failure to maintain the confidentiality
of log -in credentials, (c) their transmission of data via
methods that are not secure, (d) their failure to maintain
systems and environments that are compatible with any
Update, (e) their violation of the applicable terms of this
Agreement or any applicable laws, regulations, or industry
standards, or (f) any vulnerability in their environment,
systems, hardware, software, or physical or administrative
security safeguards or procedures, including without
limitation any vulnerability in the file transfer protocol
maintained by Licensee pursuant to Section 8.8. Licensee
shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Selectron for,
from and against all Losses arising from any such Security
Incident or Licensee's breach of Sections 8.7 or 8.8,
including without limitation any expenses incurred by
Selectron in complying with its obligations under Section
8.6.
9.5 Conditions for Indemnification. The
parties' indemnification obligations hereunder shall apply
only if (a) the party to be indemnified (the "indemnitee"
notifies the party obligated to indemnify them (the
"indemnitor") in writing of a claim promptly upon learning
of or receiving the same; and (b) the indemnitee provides
the indemnitor with reasonable assistance requested by
the indemnitor, at the indemnitor's expense, for the
defense and settlement, if applicable, of any claim. The
indemnitee's failure to perform any obligations or satisfy
any conditions under this Section 9.5 shall not relieve the
indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the
extent that the indemnitor can demonstrate that it has
been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
9.6 Control of Defense. After receipt of
notice of a claim, the indemnitor shall be entitled, if it so
elects, at its own cost, risk and expense (a) to take control
of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action;
and (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice
to handle and defend the same; provided, however, that
the indemnitee's consent shall be required for any
settlement that does not include a full release of all claims.
If the indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such claim
within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of the
claim, the indemnitee will (upon delivering notice to such
effect to the indemnitor) have the right to undertake, at
the indemnitor's cost and expense, the defense,
compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and
for the account and risk of the indemnitor; provided,
however, that such claim shall not be compromised or
settled without the written consent of the indemnitor. The
party that assumes control of the defense of the claim will
keep the other party reasonably informed of the progress
of any such defense, compromise or settlement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnitee shall be
entitled to conduct its own defense at the cost and
expense of the indemnitor if the indemnitee establishes
that the conduct of its defense by the indemnitor would
reasonably be likely to prejudice materially the indemnitee
due to a conflict of interest between the indemnitee and
the indemnitor; and provided further that in any event, the
indemnitee may participate in such defense at its own
expense.
10. Limitation of Liability
10.1 Limited Remedy. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED HEREIN, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SELECTRON OR
ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR, OR BE
OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY LICENSEE FOR, ANY LOSS OF
PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF USE OR DATA, OR
INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS
ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, EVEN IF SELECTRON HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
HOWEVER CAUSED.
10.2 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary or the failure of
essential purpose of any limited remedy or limitation of
liability, Selectron's entire liability arising from or relating
to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, under any
legal theory (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), shall
not exceed the amounts actually received by Selectron
from Licensee hereunder in the twelve (12) months
immediately preceding the action that gave rise to the
claim. Licensee acknowledges that the Service Fees reflect
the allocation of risk set forth in this Agreement and that
Selectron would not enter into this Agreement without the
limitations on liability set forth in this Agreement.
11. Term and Termination
11.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall
commence on the Effective Date and continue for an initial
period of five (5) years therefrom (the "Initial Term"), and
shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year
periods unless either party notifies the other of its
intention not to renew at least ninety (90) days before the
end of the then -current term (collectively, the "Term"). If
Licensee cancels prior to the end of the Initial Term of five
(5) years, all fees for the Initial Term of this agreement that
are unpaid will become immediately due.
11.2 Termination for Default. If either party
materially defaults in any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the non -defaulting party, at its option, shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to the other party unless, within sixty (60) calendar
days after written notice of such default, the defaulting
party remedies the default, or, in the case of a default
which cannot with due diligence be cured within a period
of sixty (60) calendar days, the defaulting party institutes
within the sixty (60) day -period substantial steps necessary
to remedy the default and thereafter diligently prosecutes
the same to completion. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, in the event Licensee breaches the EULA
or Sections 2.2, 5 and/or 6 of this Agreement, Selectron
may immediately terminate this Agreement. Licensee
shall notify Selectron within twenty-four (24) hours of
Licensee's becoming aware of any breach (other than by
Selectron) of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any breach of Sections 2.2, 5
or 6.
11.3 Termination for Bankruptcy. Either
party may terminate this Agreement if the other party
(a) becomes insolvent; (b) fails to pay its debts or perform
its obligations in the ordinary course of business as they
mature; (c) is declared insolvent or admits its insolvency or
inability to pay its debts or perform its obligations as they
mature; or (d) becomes the subject of any voluntary or
involuntary proceeding in bankruptcy, liquidation,
dissolution, receivership, attachment, or composition, or
makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,
provided that, in the case of an involuntary proceeding,
the proceeding is not dismissed with prejudice within sixty
(60) days after the institution thereof.
11.4 Effect of Termination. Upon the
expiration or termination of this Agreement, all rights and
licenses granted to Licensee hereunder shall immediately
and automatically terminate. Within ten (10) days after
any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Licensee
shall, at its sole expense, return to Selectron (or destroy,
at Selectron's sole election) all Licensed Software and
Proprietary Information of Selectron (and all copies,
summaries, and extracts thereof) then in the possession or
under the control of Licensee and its current or former
employees. Licensee shall furnish to Selectron an affidavit
signed by an officer of Licensee certifying that, to the best
of its knowledge, such delivery or destruction has been
fully effected. Termination of this Agreement by either
party shall not act as a waiver of any breach of this
Agreement and shall not act as a release of either party
from any liability for breach of such party's obligations
under this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to the
other for damages of any kind solely as a result of
terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Either party's termination of this Agreement shall be
without prejudice to any other right or remedy that it may
have at law or in equity, and shall not relieve either party
of liability for breaches occurring prior to the effective date
of such termination. Any provisions that would reasonably
be expected by the parties to survive termination of this
Agreement shall survive such termination, including
without limitation the provisions of the EULA and
Sections 1 ("Definitions"), 2.2 ("Software Restrictions"),
2.3 ("Data Restrictions"), 2.4 ("Rights in Aggregate Data"),
4 ("Fees and Payment") (with respect to amounts accrued
but as -yet unpaid), 5 ("Proprietary Rights"), 6 ("Proprietary
Information"), 7 ("Representations and Warranties;
Warranty Disclaimer"), 8 ("Security"), 9
("Indemnification"), 10 ("Limitation of Liability"), 11

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Selectron reserves the right to suspend the
licenses granted hereunder, suspend access to the
Licensed Software, and discontinue the Services if
Selectron reasonably determines that Licensee breached
any provision of the EULA or Sections 2, 5, or 6 or any other
material provision of this Agreement, until such breach, if
capable of cure, is cured by Licensee to Selectron's
reasonable satisfaction ("Service Suspension"). Selectron
will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
Licensee with prior written notice of any Service
Suspension.
12.6 Waiver. The waiver by either party of a
breach of or a default under any provision of this
Agreement, shall be in writing and shall not be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default under
the same or any other provision of this Agreement, nor
shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to
exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or
may have hereunder, operate as a waiver of any right or
remedy.
12.7 Severability. If the application of any
provision of this Agreement to any particular facts or
circumstances shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable,
then (a) the validity and enforceability of such provision as
applied to any other particular facts or circumstances and
the validity of other provisions of this Agreement shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) such
provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent
possible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and
reformed without further action by the parties, to the
extent necessary to make such provision valid and
enforceable. Without limiting the generality of the

effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any other
provision hereof.

commitment on behalf of Selectron, or to bind Selectron
in any way. Selectron is not an agent of Licensee and is not
authorized to make any representation, contract, or
commitment on behalf of Licensee, or to bind Licensee in
any way. Selectron will not be entitled to any of the

employees, such as group insurance, profit sharing, or
retirement benefits.

of monies due hereunder, neither party shall be
responsible or have any liability for any delay or failure to

causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without
limitation, acts of God, earthquake, fire, flood, embargoes,
labor disputes and strikes, riots, war, error in the coding of
electronic files, Internet or other network "brownouts' or
failures, power failures, novelty of product manufacture or
other unanticipated product development problems, and
acts of civil and military authorities; provided that such
party gives the other party prompt written notice of the
failure to perform and the reason therefor and uses its
reasonable efforts to limit the resulting delay in its
performance and to mitigate the harm or damage caused
by such delay.
12.10 Public Announcements. Licensee shall
cooperate with Selectron so that Selectron may issue a
press release concerning this Agreement; provided,
however, Selectron may not release any such press release
without the prior approval of Licensee (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).
However, without seeking prior approval in each instance,
Selectron shall have the right to use Licensee's name as a
customer reference, and to use Licensee's trade name on
Selectron's customer lists.

12.12 Export Controls. The Licensed Software
is subject to the export control laws of the United States
and other countries. Licensee may not export or re-export
the Licensed Software, unless Licensee has first obtained
Selectron's prior written permission and the appropriate

modifications of or to the Agreement ("Subsequent
Terms") differ from those herein, those Subsequent Terms

2. Functionality
This section details the functionality of each application included in Fort Worth Water's solution. As
with the existing functionality, all functions and features are dependent upon the accessibility of
Fort Worth Water's CentralSquare Naviline application database to provide the given data to Relay.
2.1. The Relay Platform
Fort Worth Water's solution is powered by Selectron's Relay platform. Relay is a multi-
channel, multi -agency platform that is designed to connect customers, constituents, and
field workers to government agencies and utilities. Relay offers interactive voice
response (IVR), web, mobile, outbound, call center agent, and field worker capabilities
all in a single platform.
The following sections detail the functionality that will be implemented for Fort Worth
Water. Additional channels, applications, and integrations that are not specified in this
SOW are not included, but may be able to be added to the system under a supplemental
statement of work. Please contact your Selectron representative for more details for
additional functionality.
2.1.1. Application Packs and Channels
Fort Worth Water's solution includes the following application pack and channels:
• Application packs:
o Utility Pack
• Channels:
o IVR
o Outbound
2.2. Utility Pack
Fort Worth Water will remain configured with the Utility Pack. The Utility Pack offers
Fort Worth Water's customers with a central point of access for account management
and payments. Citizens will be able to enter an account number and access account
data and activities, including:
• Current balance owed
• Last billing date and amount (up to last 6)
• Last payment date and amount (up to last 6)
• Next billing date
• Payment Processing — Credit Card and E-Check
All account information is made available through an API to the CentralSquare Naviline
application database. For any of the features detailed below to function as described,
data must be available in this database to be presented to users.

ESelectron
T E C H NO LOG I E S, INC
2.2.1. IVR Channel
The IVR Channel for the Utility Pack provides callers with an Interactive Voice Response
(IVR) system for accessing account information and making payments over the phone.
Citizens can call the Utility IVR channel in order to hear account information and to
make a payment. Citizens will access their account using an account number. The IVR
validates this data against the CentralSquare Naviline application database. Once the
account is validated, the IVR will speak the service address, followed by the current
balance owed and due date. During the kickoff phase of the implementation project,
Selectron and Fort Worth Water will need to determine the exact terminology and
methodology around presenting 'current' and 'delinquent' amount due to the user. The
caller will then be given the option of making a payment. If no payment is due, then the
IVR will speak that there is currently no payment due.
Using the IVR, callers will also be presented with other options, as listed under Utility
Pack, above.
Callers will also be able to transfer to an agent. If a caller requests a transfer, the IVR
performs a transfer to a number specified by Fort Worth Water.
2.2.1.1. Faxing
The Faxing module allows for faxes to be requested by/sent to Relay users.
Selectron will provide a hosted fax server for Fort Worth Water's Relay solution,
regardless of deployment model. When faxing is enabled, anywhere a user
could request an email as described in the above features, the user can request
a fax instead.
2.3. Relay Outbound
Fort Worth's existing outbound solution will be upgraded to the next -generation Relay
Outbound. Relay Outbound provides Fort Worth Water with an updated multi -channel
outbound communication platform capable of sending voice, SMS, and email messages
to citizens. Two kinds of notifications can be sent: Targeted Notifications, which include
dynamic account data and are designed to be sent to specific recipients; and Static
Notifications, which do not include customer -specific data and are designed as more
'general information' style messaging. Static Notifications can be designed and recorded
by Fort Worth Water staff using the Relay Portal.
Fort Worth Water's Relay Outbound will include targeted notification messaging in the
following language(s): English, Spanish. Additionally, recipients receiving a call due to
payments owed will have the option of requesting a transfer into the IVR Channel to
make a payment.

ESelectron
T E C H NO LOG I E S, INC
Dynamic Notifications require development and are designed during the
implementation process. This project includes the following Dynamic Notifications:
2.3.1. Bill Delinquency Notification
The Delinquency Notification is used to warn citizens that their account is delinquent. It
includes the following customer -specific data: account number, delinquent amount, and
due date.
2.3.2. Impending Shutoff Notification
The Impending Shutoff Notification is used to warn citizens that their account will be
shut off very soon. It presents the following customer -specific data: account number,
delinquent amount, due date, and shutoff date.
2.3.3. Static Notifications
Fort Worth Water will be able to send Customer -defined static notifications to citizens
via phone, email, or SMS text. Fort Worth Water is responsible for defining and
configuring these notifications, which can be done via the Relay Portal. Training for
configuring and recording static notifications will be provided at the end of the
implementation process.
2.4. Payment Processing
The Relay solution can be configured to accept credit card and e-check payments,
allowing citizens to make payments. The payment processing engine is a PA-DSS-
Verified payment system that does not retain any payment information. Users will need
to enter their payment information for each transaction.
The Relay payment application interacts with Fort Worth Water's selected payment
gateway to provide payment functionality. Users will need to authenticate and provide
valid payment information in order to make a payment. Relay validates the user's
payment information before passing it to the payment gateway. When a payment is
reported as successful, Relay will post an update to Fort Worth Water's CentralSquare
Naviline application database in real time (as long as an API for such an update is
available).
Fort Worth Water will be able to take payments from citizens via the following payment
methods:
• Credit Card
• E-Check
Trusted Solutions.
January 27, 2021

ESelectron
T E C H NO LOG I E S, INC
2.4.1. Credit Card
The interactive solution accepts Visa, MasterCard°, Discover®, and American Express'.
Fort Worth Water can elect to accept all or a subset of these card types. Any credit card
types not accepted by Fort Worth Water will not be accepted by the solution. When
taking a payment, Relay verifies the credit card number and expiration date. For more
security, Fort Worth Water can choose to verify the card holder's zip code and/or
security code. All credit card transactions are sent through the designated payment
gateway.
2.4.2. E-Check
Users wishing to pay via E-Check will need to enter their bank routing number and bank
account number. All E-Check transactions are sent through the designated payment
gateway.
2.5. Languages
The Customer's Relay application will be configured to support English and Spanish.
The additional language module enables the solution to support non -English -language
users. Additionally, all dates, numbers, ordinals, currencies, and letters are translated
(and voice recorded) to the proper language.
The professionally -recorded prompts use a vocabulary and dialect predetermined by
Selectron. Additions and changes to the prompts to account for regional differences are
subject to time and materials billing.
Fort Worth Water will be able to define a transfer destination for each language
available on the IVR.
3. System Integration
Depending on the implemented features, Relay requires varying levels of integration with other Fort
Worth Water components. These are described in the following sections.
3.1. Application Database Interfaces
It is anticipated that Selectron will be integrating with Fort Worth Water's CentralSquare
Naviline application database. All data -based interactivity on the solution is reliant upon
data being available via the application vendor APIs.
During the implementation phase, if data elements are identified as necessary but are
not available via the included APIs, the project will be impacted. This may affect the
implementation timeframe and will result in additional professional services fees.
Trusted Solutions.
January 27, 2021 Page 6

ESelectron
T E C H NO LOG I E S, INC
3.2. Payment Gateway Interfaces
For payment processing, Relay will be integrating to Paymentus. The payment
processing service is PA-DSS validated. Integration to the payment gateway initiates the
collection and reconciliation of the payments being gathered by the department. It is
required that the payment gateway be on the list of Selectron-certified payment
gateways and that it integrates utilizing a REST/Web Service implementation.
The following payment processing fees and services are not covered by the purchase of
the application:
• Transaction fees
• Merchant accounts
• Third -party payment processing services, fees, and software
4. Deployment Model
The Relay solution will be moved from on -premise at Fort Worth Water to Selectron's single -tenant
Relay Managed Services environment.
Relay Managed Services is a single -tenant hosted application, located in Selectron's local hosting
facility. Selectron's hosting facility is a co -located data center featuring keyed entry and individual
server locks for security. With a Managed Services solution, Selectron owns all hardware and is
responsible for security, ongoing maintenance, and proactive support.
Fort Worth Water's solution is licensed for:
• Thirty-four (34) inbound IVR ports on production server, allowing for up to 34 concurrent
calls, in addition to a 4-port test server
• 1,100,000 inbound calls and transfers per year
• 480,000 outbound messages per year
S. Administrative Tasks
This section details administrative tasks that can be performed in order to manage Relay. All system
administration for Relay is handled through the Relay Portal web application. An administrator from
Fort Worth Water will be provided with user credentials for the Relay Portal application during the
implementation process. Additional users can be created by the administrator as needed.
Permissions can be assigned on a per -user basis; permissions govern the functionality available to a
given user.
The Relay Portal provides Fort Worth Water administrators with a single platform for viewing
system usage and health, running reports, and configuring various system settings. The Relay Portal
is supported on all modern, "evergreen" browsers including: Chrome, Firefox, IE10+, Microsoft Edge,
and Safari.

5.1. Run System Reports
Fort Worth Water administrators will be able to run system reports via the Relay Portal.
Reports that can be run by the administrator include:
• Payments
• Call Statistics
• Call Activity
• Call Detail
• Outbound Statistics
5.2. Schedule Outbound Campaigns
Using the Relay Portal, administrators can create, edit, and review outbound campaigns
made using Relay Outbound. Each instance of an outbound campaign must be
scheduled individually. This includes selecting the type of notification, the date/time of
delivery, and (for static notifications) the configuration of the message.
The administrator will also need to upload a contact list in .csv format for the
notification. The exact formatting of the .csv file will vary depending on the notification
being scheduled. Selectron will provide Fort Worth Water with example .csv files for the
configured notifications included in this project, as well as assistance in generating the
outbound call list.

EXPLANATION
Attached is the sole source agreement between the Water Department and Selectron Technologies, Inc. (Selectron).
The spending authority was approved on M&C 23-0051 in an amount not to exceed $278,780.10.
In this agreement, Selectron will move the Water Department's Interactive Voice Response System off of the Water
Department servers and into the Selectron Cloud, a software -as -a -service environment. This will reduce the City's
risk by improving compliance with payment card industry (PCI) standards. New features also include increased
call handling capacity and enhancing the ability to configure campaigns for customer outreach via the Outbound
Dialer.
Please sign/approve the agreement. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me.
