1.2 Unless the Vendor provides the County, in writing, with the name and contact information of another person, the County will notify the provider using the Vendor information provided by the Vendor in this Agreement if the County needs the Vendor’s assistance in any matter arising out of the RTKL. The Vendor must notify the County in wiring of any change in the name or the contact information within a reasonable time prior to the change.

Information”), the Vendor must

1.3.1 provide the County, within five business days after receipt of the County’s written notification, access to, and copies of, any document or information in the Vendor’s possession arising out of this Agreement that the County reasonably believes is

County may incur as a result of the Vendor’s failure, including any statutory damages assessed against the County, regardless of the outcome of such legal challenge.
