require delivery of such Purchase at a reduction in price that is equitable
under the circumstances. If seller is unable or refuses to correct such

be made. No change by Seller is allowed without City s written approval.

verbally or in writing, with or without cause. Should termination occur,
City will pay Seller as full performance until such termination the unit or
pro rata order price for the performed and accepted portion of the

harmless from and against any claim, action, damages, costs

against it by suit or otherwise, whether the same be groundless or
not, arising out of the Purchase or order, or their performance,
Seller will defend City (at City's request and with counsel
satisfactory to City) and indemnify City for any judgment rendered
against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise. For
purposes of this section "City" includes City's officers, elected
officials, and employees. It is expressly understood and agreed
that the foregoing provisions will survive termination of this order.
The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage
to be maintained by Seller, and any approval of such insurance by
City, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify
the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by Seller pursuant
to this order, including, without limitation, to the provisions
concerning indemnification.
SBARRANTY. Seller agrees that the Purchase is covered by the
most favorable commercial warranties the Seller gives to any
customer for the same or substantially similar supplies or services,

while under contract with City. Seller is not an agent or employee
of City and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan,
insurance, bonus or similar benefits City provides for its employees.

measure of control over the work means that Seller will follow the
direction of the City as to end results of the work only.
Agreement No. 7256
14.WAIVER. City's review or acceptance of, or payment for, work

operate as a waiver of any rights City may have under this Agreement or
of any cause of action arising from Seller's performance. A waiver by
