5. Conflict of Interest: Contractor represents that none of its officers or employees are officers or employees of the City or the State of Utah, unless disclosure has been made to the City.
6. Independent Contractor: Contractor's legal status is that of an independent Contractor, and in no manner shall Contractor be deemed an employee or agent of the City and therefore is not entitled to any of the benefits associated with such employment. Contractor, as an Independent Contractor, shall have no authorization, express or implied, to bind the City to any agreements, settlements, liabilities, or understandings whatsoever, and agrees not to perform any acts as an agent for the City. Contractor shall remain responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, and all FICA contributions.
7. Indemnification: Contractor shall be fully liable for the actions of its agents, employees, officers, partners, and Subcontractors.

The parties agree that if there are any limitations of Contractor’s liability that such limitations of liability will not apply to this section. This release and duty to indemnify shall be ongoing and survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement up and until all such statute of limitations for claims, actions, and demands have expired.
8. Limitation of Liability: If a judicial body determines that the release of liability and indemnification provision, or any part thereof, violates federal, state, or local laws, City officials shall not be liable for loss, liability, damage, damages, claims (third-party or otherwise), demands, judgments, and attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or related to, the intentional or negligent acts, errors, and omissions for an amount more than 20% of the contract price. This limitation of liability shall be ongoing and survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement up and until all such statute of limitations for claims, actions, and demands have expired.
9. Amendments/Change Orders: This Agreement may only be amended by the mutual written agreement of the parties, which amendment will be attached to this Agreement. Automatic renewals will not apply to this Agreement. Any changes in the scope of services to be performed under this Agreement shall be in the form of a written amendment to this Agreement, mutually agreed to and signed by both parties, specifying any such changes to time, price, or other factors arising from the changes in the scope of services. Unless the City and the Contractor have agreed in writing before the performance of additional services, the City shall not be obligated to pay for the additional services and Contractor waives all rights to seek payment for additional services.
10. Debarment: Contractor certifies that it is not presently, nor has it ever been, debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment by any governmental department or agency, whether International, national, state, or local. Contractor must notify the City within thirty (30) days if debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in any Agreement by any governmental entity during this Agreement. Contractor shall be bound by the Debarment and Suspension section(s) of the West Jordan City Code that is in effect at the time the City seeks to debar or suspend the Contractor from further bidding or other work.
11. Termination: Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated, with cause by either party, in advance of the specified expiration date, upon written notice given by the other party. The party in violation will be given ten (10) days after written notification to correct and cease the violations, after which this Agreement may be terminated for cause immediately and is subject to the remedies listed below. This Agreement may also be terminated without cause (for convenience), in advance of the specified expiration date, by either party, upon thirty (30) days written termination notice being given to the other party. The City and the Contractor may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time, by mutual agreement in writing. On termination of this Agreement, all accounts and payments will be processed according to the financial arrangements set forth herein for approved services ordered prior to date of termination.
Contractor shall be compensated for the services properly performed under this Agreement up to the effective date of the notice of termination.
Contractor agrees that in the event of such termination for cause or without cause, Contractor's sole remedy and monetary recovery from the City is limited to full payment for all services properly performed as authorized under this Agreement up to the date of termination.
12. Nonappropriation of Funds, Reduction of Funds, or Changes in Law: Upon thirty (30) days written notice delivered to the Contractor, this Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part at the sole discretion of the City, if the City reasonably determines that: (i) a change in Federal, State, or City legislation or applicable laws materially affects the ability of either party to perform under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) that a change in available funds affects the City's ability to pay under this Agreement; (iii) the City Council fails to fund the event. A change of available funds as used in this paragraph, includes, but is not limited to, a change in Federal, State, or City funding, whether as a result of a legislative act, action by the Utah Judicial Council or by order of the President or the Governor.
If a written notice is delivered under this section, the City will reimburse Contractor for the services properly ordered until the effective date of said notice. The City will not be liable for any performance, commitments, penalties, or liquidated damages that accrue after the effective date of said written notice.
13. Suspension of Work: Should circumstances arise which would cause the City to suspend Contractor's responsibilities under this Agreement, but not terminate this Agreement, this will be done by written notice. Contractor's responsibilities may be reinstated upon advance formal written notice from the City.
14. Insurance: Contractor shall at all times during the term of this Agreement, without interruption, carry and maintain insurance from an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of Utah with the types and limits of insurance as set forth in this Section. The Contractor shall provide a Certificate of Insurance to the City five (5) days after a request by the City; if no request has been made by the City, the Contractor shall provide a Certificate of Insurance to the City no later than thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement. Contractor must add the City as an additional insured for ongoing and completed operations. Contractor expressly agrees to waive all rights of subrogation on the part of the insurer against the City. Failure to provide proof of insurance, as required, will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. The Contractor shall not cancel or allow the insurance policy to expire unless written notice has been given to the City at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation or expiration. The Contractor’s failure to maintain this insurance requirement for the term of this Agreement will be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement.
