14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement is governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles, and applicable federal law.

LICENSOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THESE COURTS, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE IN THESE COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT THESE COURTS ARE INCONVENIENT FORUMS. In no way may this section or any other term of this Agreement be construed as (i) a waiver by the State of Oregon of any form of defense or immunity, whether it is sovereign immunity, governmental immunity, immunity based on the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or otherwise, or (ii) consent by the State of Oregon to the jurisdiction of any court.

16. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute between the parties under this Agreement that is not resolved through informal discussions may be submitted to mediation upon the consent of both parties. If informal discussions or mediation are unsuccessful, either party may initiate litigation to resolve the dispute. The parties specifically disclaim any right to arbitration of disputes.

Licensee may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice if Licensee fails to receive funding, appropriations, limitations, allotments, or other expenditure authority as contemplated by Licensee’s budget or spending plan and Licensee determines, in its assessment and ranking of the policy objectives explicit or implicit in its budget or spending plan, that it is necessary to terminate this Agreement.

18.1.2. EIS Authorization. Licensee may terminate this Agreement if it does not receive authorization from the Enterprise Information Services (EIS) to continue the Services, or EIS authorization is withdrawn or modified in a way that performance of the Services under this Agreement is prohibited or no longer in the best interest of the State.

Licensor will be in default under this Agreement if:

18.1.4.1. Licensor institutes or has instituted against it insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings which are not dismissed within 60 calendar days of their commencement, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or ceases doing business on a regular basis; or

18.1.4.2. Licensor no longer holds a license or certificate that is required to provide the Services and Licensor has not obtained such license or certificate within 30 business days after delivery of Licensee’s notice or such longer period as Licensee may specify in such notice; or

Licensor commits any material breach of any covenant, warranty, obligation or certification under this Agreement, fails to provide or perform the Services in conformance with the specifications and warranties provided herein, or clearly manifests an intent not to perform future obligations under this Agreement, and such breach or default is not cured, or such manifestation of an intent not to perform is not corrected by reasonable written assurances of performance within 30 business days after delivery of Licensee’s notice or such longer period as Licensee may specify in such notice.

18.1.5. Licensee’s Right to Terminate for Services Issues. Licensee may terminate this Agreement upon at least 30 calendar days’ advance written notice if the Services are not in material conformance with the Service documentation, including if Licensor materially fails to meet [service level agreements].

18.2. Licensor’s Right to Terminate for Cause. Licensor may, subject to a minimum 60 calendar days’ prior written notice to Licensee, terminate this Agreement under Exhibit A, Section ##.

18.3. Mutual Termination. The parties may agree to terminate this Agreement upon at least 30 calendar days’ prior written agreement.

19. Independent Contractor. Licensor is at all times an independent contractor and is not an agent, employee, or representative of Licensee. Licensor has no right or authority to incur or create any obligation for or legally bind Licensee in any way. Licensor is not an "officer," "employee" or "agent" of Licensee or any other agency, office, or department of the State of Oregon, as those terms are used in ORS 30.265, and Licensor shall make no representations to third parties to the contrary. Neither party shall make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind or to take any action binding on the other except as provided for in the Contract or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.

20. Publicity. Licensor may disclose the form and existence of this Agreement in advertising, press releases or other materials distributed to prospective customers, but shall not otherwise attempt to obtain publicity from its association with Licensee or the State of Oregon, whether or not such disclosure, publicity or association implies an endorsement by Licensee or the State of Oregon of Licensor’s products and services, without the prior written consent of Licensee.

21. Counterparts. This Rider may be executed in two or more counterparts, by facsimile or otherwise, each of which is an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument, notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.

22. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented only by a written amendment that, if required by applicable law, has been approved according to applicable laws, rules and regulations, and for legal sufficiency by DOJ. No amendment will be effective until all requisite signatures and approvals are obtained from both parties.

23. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Licensee and Licensor are the only parties to this Agreement and are the only parties entitled to enforce its terms.

24. Subcontractors. Licensor shall disclose its subcontractors under this Agreement, and ensure all subcontractors providing services related to this Agreement comply with its applicable provisions.

25. Survival. The provisions of this Rider that by their nature survive termination do so survive.

26. Severability. The parties agree that if any term or provision of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or in conflict with any law, the validity of the remaining terms and provisions will not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced as if this Agreement did not contain the particular term or provision held to be invalid.

27. Non-Discrimination. If the anticipated total value of the Services to be provided under this Agreement is $150,000 or more, Licensor certifies that it has a written policy and practice that meets the requirements described in ORS 279A.112 for preventing sexual harassment, sexual assault, and discrimination against employees who are members of a protected class. Licensor agrees, as a material condition, to maintain such policy and practice in force during the term of this Agreement.

28. Pay Equity. As required by ORS 279B.235, Licensor shall comply with ORS 652.220 and not unlawfully discriminate against any of its employees in the payment of wages or other compensation for work of comparable character on the basis of an employee’s membership in a protected class. “Protected class” means a group of persons distinguished by race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability, or age. Licensor’s compliance with this section is a material term of this Agreement, and Licensor’s failure to comply constitutes a breach entitling Licensee to terminate this Agreement for cause.

28.1. As required by ORS 279B.235, Licensor may not prohibit any of its employees from discussing the employee’s rate of wage, salary, benefits, or other compensation with another employee or another person.
