inventions. Contractor shall bear all costs arising from the use of patented, copyrighted, trade secret or
trademarked documents, materials, software, equipment, devices or processes used or incorporated in the

disclosure. All City data shall be returned to City upon the termination of this Agreement. Contractor’s covenant
under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This provision shall not apply to information in
whatever form that is in the public domain, nor shall it restrict the Contractor from giving notices required by law or
complying with an order to provide information or data when such an order is issued by a court, administrative
agency or other legitimate authority, or if disclosure is otherwise permitted by law and reasonably necessary for the
Contractor to defend itself from any legal action or claim.

may be affected by the Services, or which would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services.
Contractor further covenants that, in performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall
be employed by it. Furthermore, Contractor shall avoid the appearance of having any interest, which would
conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services. Contractor shall not accept any employment or
representation during the term of this Agreement which is or may likely make Contractor “financially
interested” (as provided in California Government Code §§1090 and 87100) in any decision made by City on
any matter in connection with which Contractor has been retained.
10.2 Contractor further represents that it has not employed or retained any person or entity, other than a bona fide

terminate this Agreement without further liability, or to deduct from any sums payable to Contractor hereunder
the full amount or value of any such fee, commission, percentage or gift.

noncontractual, financial, proprietary, or otherwise, in this transaction or in the business of Contractor, and that

if any such interest comes to the knowledge of Contractor at any time during the term of this Agreement,
Contractor shall immediately make a complete, written disclosure of such interest to City, even if such interest
would not be deemed a prohibited “conflict of interest” under applicable laws as described in subsection 10.1.
11. Indemnification.
11.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City and its
elected officials, officers, employees, servants, volunteers, and agents serving as independent contractors in the
role of City officials, (collectively, the "Indemnitees"), free and harmless with respect to any and all damages,
liabilities, losses, reasonable defense costs or expenses (collective, "Claims"), including but not limited to
Claims relating to death or injury to any person and injury to any property, which arise out of, pertain to, or
relate to the acts, omissions, activities or operations of Contractor or any of its officers, employees,
subcontractors, contractors, clients, customers, participants or agents to the extent that such Claims (including

Exhibit A, or any agreed upon addendum or modification in the described Scope, during the performance of
this Agreement. Contractor shall defend Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in connection with any such
Claims with counsel of City's choice, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including actual attorney's fees and
experts' costs incurred in connection with such defense. The indemnification obligation herein shall not in any
way be limited by the insurance obligations contained in the Agreement provided, however, that the Contractor
shall have no obligation to indemnify for Claims arising out of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of any
of the indemnitees.
11.2 Nonwaiver of Rights. Indemnitees do not, and shall not, waive any rights that they may possess against

required pursuant to this Agreement.

behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of subrogation against the
Indemnitees, while acting within the scope of their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of
or incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor.
11.4 Requirement of Participant Waiver of Liability. Contractor shall require each player to sign a waiver of
release of liability to indemnify and hold the City and its Indemnitees free and harmless with respect to any and
all damages, liabilities, losses, reasonable defense costs or expenses (collective, "Claims"), including but not
limited to Claims relating to death or injury to any person and injury to any property, which arise out of, pertain

Exhibit A, or any agreed upon addendum or modification in the described Scope, during the performance of
this Agreement.
11.5 Survival. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of the Agreement and are in addition
to any other rights or remedies which Indemnitees may have under the law. Payment is not required as a
condition precedent to an Indemnitee’s right to recover under this indemnity provision, and an entry of judgment
against Contractor shall be conclusive in favor of the Indemnitee’s right to recover under this indemnity
provision.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Rancho Cucamonga City Clerk's Office (we, us or Company) may be
required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the
terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the
DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and
Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to
‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the
DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
