Provider's expense, by Service Provider to the City upon completion, termination, or cancellation
of this contract. Alternatively, if the City provides its written approval to Service Provider, any
books, reports, studies, photographs, negatives or other documents, data, drawings or other
materials including but not limited to those contained in media of any sort (e.g., electronic,
magnetic, digital) prepared by or supplied to Service Provider in the performance of its
obligations under this contract must be retained by Service Provider for a minimum of four years
after final payment is made and all other pending matters are closed. If, at any time during the
retention period, the City, in writing, requests any or all of the materials, then Service Provider
shall promptly remit and deliver the materials to the City. Service Provider shall not use,
willingly allow or cause to have such materials used for any purpose other than the performance
of Service Provider's obligations under this contract without the prior written consent of the City.
Service Provider shall not be responsible for any claims arising out of the City’s extraction or
modification of the material, or for any claims arising out of the use of such materials by the City
for any other purpose than that which is expressly set forth under this Contract.
22. PUBLIC RECORDS LAW, COPYRIGHTS, AND PATENTS. Excluding Services Provider’s
pre-existing work and intellectual property, Service Provider expressly agrees that all documents
ever submitted, filed, or deposited with the City by Service Provider (including those remitted to
the City by Service Provider pursuant to paragraph 21), unless designated as confidential by a
specific statue of the State of New Hampshire, shall be treated as public records and shall be
available for inspection and copying by any person, or any governmental entity.
No books, reports, studies, photographs, negatives or other documents, data, drawings or other
materials including but not limited to those contained in media of any sort (e.g., electronic,
magnetic, digital) prepared by or supplied to Service Provider in the performance of its
obligations under this contract shall be the subject of any application for a copyright or patent by
or on behalf of Service Provider. The City shall have the right to reproduce any such materials.
Service Provider expressly and indefinitely waives all of its nghts to bring, including but not
limited to, by way of complaint, interpleader, intervention, or any third party practice, any
claims, demands, suits, actions, judgments, or executions, for damages or any other relief, in any
administrative or judicial forum, against the City or any of its officers or employees, in either
their official or individual capacity, for violations of or infringement of the copyright or patent
laws of the United States or of any other nation. Service Provider agrees to indemnify, to defend,
and to hold harmless the City, its representatives, and employees from any claim or action
seeking to impose liability, costs, and attorney fees incurred as a result of or in connection with
any claim, whether rightful or otherwise, that any material prepared by or supplied to Service
Provider infringes any copyright or that any equipment, material, or process (or any part thereof)
specified by Service Provider infringes any patent.
Service Provider shall have the right, in order to avoid such claims or actions, to substitute at its
expense non-infringing materials, concepts, products, or processes, or to modify such infringing
materials, concepts, products, or processes so they become non-infringing, or to obtain the
necessary licenses to use the infringing materials, concepts, products, or processes, provided that
such substituted or modified materials, concepts, products, or processes shall meet all the
requirements and be subject to all the terms and conditions of this contract.
