Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any of the following documents, precedence is established by the order of the following documents: (1) duly executed amendments to this Agreement (to the extent not superseded by a subsequent amendment); (2) this Agreement and any Ancillary Document originating with University and incorporated by reference into this Agreement; and (3) any Ancillary Document not originating with University and incorporated by reference into this Agreement. In the event of conflicting or inconsistent provisions between any of the foregoing documents, a document identified with a lower numerical value in this section shall supersede a document identified with a higher numerical value in this section to the extent necessary to resolve any such conflict or inconsistency. In the event an issue is addressed in one of the foregoing documents but is not addressed in another of such documents, no conflict or inconsistency shall be deemed to occur. Where terms and conditions specified in Speaker’s bid, proposal, or quotation differ from the terms and conditions in University’s solicitation, the terms and conditions in the solicitation shall apply. Where terms and conditions specified in Speaker’s bid, proposal, or quotation supplement the terms and conditions in University’s solicitation, the supplemental terms and conditions shall apply only if specifically accepted by University in writing.

29. Severability. The terms of the Agreement are severable. If any term or provision is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable the remainder of the provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

30. Unavailability of Funding. Due to possible future reductions in state and/or federal funds, University cannot guarantee the continued availability of funding of this Agreement notwithstanding the consideration contained within this Agreement. In the event funds to finance this Agreement become unavailable, either in full or in part, due to such reductions, University may terminate this Agreement or reduce the consideration upon notice in writing to Speaker. Said notice shall be delivered by certified mail

(return receipt requested) or in person (with proof of delivery). University shall be the final authority as to the availability of funds. The effective date of such termination or reduction in consideration shall be the actual effective date of the elimination or reduction of funding. In the event of a reduction in consideration, Speaker may cancel this Agreement as of the effective date of the proposed reduction upon the provision of advance written notice to University. Speaker shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work performed up to the effective date of the termination. In the event of unavailability of funding, University shall not be liable for any penalty, expense, or liability, or for general, special, incidental, consequential, or other damages resulting therefrom.

31. Survival. Provisions surviving termination of this Agreement are those which on their face affect rights and obligations after termination and also include provisions concerning indemnification, confidentiality, representations and warranties, and governing law and venue.

32. Waiver. A waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement by University shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision on any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision contained in this Agreement. Any such waiver must be in writing to be effective, and no such waiver or waivers shall serve to establish a course of performance between the parties contradictory to the terms hereof.

33. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, sent via certified mail or hand delivery, effective when received, and delivered to the addresses provided on the signature page of this Agreement.

34. Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith may be electronically signed, and any electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement or such other documents are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility.

Participants will learn strategies to foster inclusive learning environments, individualized teaching practices and meaningful family engagement. We believe that by building secure relationships and trust with children and families, we can build a culture of caring, kindness, and belonging.

Afternoon Session Options

Learning Environments that Meet the Needs of Every Child Let's face it, we are living in uncertain times. Children, families and educators are experiencing stress in unprecedented ways. How can we promote the inclusion of children with disabilities during these unpredictable times? We can do it by creating environments that are inherently healing, using strategies for fostering inclusion in the physical, social, and temporal environment. Join us to learn about the latest research on inclusion, principles of universal design, and relationship-based practices. Discover ways to consider the child’s perspective when making decisions about the learning environment. Through this session, educators will build skills and confidence for meeting the needs of each and every child. We'll explore strategies for building secure relationships to reduce stress and build trust. Together we can foster inclusion in early childhood environments in ways that are healing for each and every child, family and educator.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE

From time to time, NU Contracts+Ariba (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

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 5/16/2023 6:53:28 PM Parties agreed to: Jessica Kozlowski, Melody Stark, Jane Sheldon

Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given

us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.

We do not require any other information from you to change your email address.

If you created a DocuSign account, you may update it with your new email address through your account preferences.

To request paper copies from NU Contracts+Ariba

To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided by us to you electronically, you must send us an email to richard.horner@nebraska.edu and in the body of such request you must state your email address, full name, mailing address, and telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.

To withdraw your consent with NU Contracts+Ariba

To inform us that you no longer wish to receive future notices and disclosures in electronic format you may:

i. decline to sign a document from within your signing session, and on the subsequent page, select the check-box indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;

ii. send us an email to richard.horner@nebraska.edu and in the body of such request you must state your email, full name, mailing address, and telephone number. We do not need any other information from you to withdraw consent.. The consequences of your withdrawing consent for online documents will be that transactions may take a longer time to process..
