<br />SECTION VI. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
<br />9. Terms and Conditions
<br />Vendor will provide standard agreements for all software services and maintenance and support
<br />needed to provide the intended solution, The City reserves the right to reject any supplemental
<br />terms that are requested by the Vendor but deemed by the City not to be in its best interest. Terms
<br />and conditions are excluded from the total page count.
<br />As a final note the Proposer anticipates that the resultant agreement shall be based on Proposer's
<br />and industry norm standard agreements for software licensing and maintenance and that the
<br />resultant agreement between the Proposer and the City should include provisions typically seen
<br />in these types of software agreements, including: limitation of liability (which will be at one (1)
<br />times the contract value, and shall not include damages related to indirect, consequential, special
<br />or aggravated), warranty (as per the restrictions above), license use and restrictions (such as
<br />copying restrictions, User restrictions and reverse engineering type restrictions), mutually
<br />acceptable acceptance terms, payment terms (includi:ng the use of milestones for payment and
<br />license fees paid up front), maintenance terms, approved Statements of work, and other
<br />provisions typical in software license/support/service agreements and that the absence of any
<br />clauses in the City's RFP will not affect Proposer's ability to negotiate such clauses and to modify
<br />the standard contract as needed,
