defend, settle, or pay, at its own cost and expense, any claim or action against City for
infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, trade secret, or similar property right
arising from City's use of the software or documentation in accordance with this Agreement,
it being understood that this agreement to defend, settle or pay will not apply if City modifies
or misuses the software and/or documentation. So long as Vendor bears the cost and expense
of payment for claims or actions against City pursuant to this section, Vendor will 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 will have the right

compromise, such use is materially adversely restricted, Vendor will, at its own expense and

infringing, provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect
City's authorized use of the software and/or documentation; or (c) replace the software and
documentation with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing
software and documentation at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing
alternatives is reasonably available to Vendor terminate this Agreement, and refund all
amounts paid to Vendor by City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all
remedies available to City under law.

materials are reviewed to ensure they meet the required specifications for size, resolution, color, and file

for transit advertising, and final proofs are reviewed for accuracy and clarity before the advertisements are
printed and installed. This helps ensure the finished advertisements are sharp, legible, and visually
consistent with the approved artwork. As previously mentioned, we will provide proof of your creative for
your approval before we print any material.
Adsposure works directly with advertisers, agencies, and organizations to develop advertising campaigns
based on their marketing objectives, geographic targeting, campaign duration, and available inventory. We
coordinate the necessary artwork specifications, production materials, installation schedules, and campaign
logistics to ensure advertising is placed in accordance with the applicable requirements and
specifications. As part of our services, Adsposure also manages campaign inventory, coordinates with
advertisers and production partners, and communicates with Trinity Metro regarding advertising
