6. STANDARD OF CARE. Vendor will exercise the same degree of care, skill, and diligence in the performance of the work as is ordinarily possessed and exercised by a professional under similar circumstances. If Vendor fails to meet the foregoing standard, Vendor will perform at its own cost, and without reimbursement, any work necessary to correct errors and omissions which are caused by Vendor’s negligence.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR NEGLIGENT PERFORMANCE. Any attempt to limit liability for breach of contract or negligent performance to the amount of the payment to Vendor by City is void.
