DGS PD 403-ITGP Non-Cloud (REV. 02/20/2025)
2.2.1 Contractor warrants that it has full power and authority to grant the rights herein and will hold the State harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability, and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of any breach of this warranty. The State will notify Contractor promptly in writing of any such claim, and Contractor will have sole control of the defense of any claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, provided that:
(a) when substantial principles of government or public law are involved, when litigation might create precedent affecting future State operations or liability, or when involvement of the State is required by law, the State may participate in such action at its own expense with respect to attorneys' fees and costs (but not liability); (b) where a settlement would impose liability on the State, affect principles of California government or public law, or impact the authority of the State, the Department of General Services (DGS), or as appropriate, the California Department of Technology (CDT), must approve any settlement or compromise, which approval will not unreasonably be withheld or delayed; and
(c) the State will reasonably cooperate in the defense and in any related settlement negotiations. Further, Contractor agrees it will not enter into any arrangement with any third-party which may diminish any rights of the State under this Contract.
2.2.2 To the extent Contractor is a Reseller, Contractor warrants that (a) the Service Provider has reviewed this Contract; (b) in Contractor's agreement with the Service Provider, the Service Provider has agreed to accept the responsibilities, obligations, and liabilities (such as License Grant, Inspection, Acceptance, Rejection, Warranties, Confidentiality, Indemnification, Data Protection Provisions) under this Contract that naturally reside with the Service Provider with respect to the provision of Deliverables; and (c) Contractor can provide the Deliverables in accordance with the Contract.

Contractor agrees to be as fully responsible to the State for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor. Contractor's obligation to pay its subcontractors is an independent obligation from the State's obligation to make payments to Contractor. As a result, the State shall have no obligation to pay any moneys to any subcontractor Section 3: ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the sections, exhibits, attachments, specifications, or provisions comprising the Contract, the following order of precedence shall apply:

Unless otherwise specified in the Statement of Work, Contractor hereby grants to the State and the State accepts from Contractor, subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the Software, as well as and any Documentation.
The State may use the Software and Documentation in the conduct of its own business and any division thereof.
The license granted herein authorizes the State to use the Software in machine-readable form on the computer System located at the site(s) specified in the Statement of Work. The computer System and its associated units (collectively, CPU) are as designated in the Statement of Work. If the designated CPU is inoperative due to malfunction, the license granted herein shall be temporarily extended to authorize the State to use the Software, in machine-readable form, on any other State CPU.
By prior written notice, the State may redesignate the CPU in which the Software is to be used, provided that the redesignated CPU is substantially similar in size and scale, at no additional cost. The redesignation shall not be limited to the original site and will be effective upon the date specified in the notice of redesignation.
Acceptance of commercial Software (including third-party Software) and custom Software will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Contract.
4.2 RIGHT TO COPY OR MODIFY:
Any Software provided by Contractor in machine-readable form may be copied, in whole or in part, in printed or machine-readable form, for use by the State with the designated CPU, to

perform one-time benchmark tests, for archival or emergency restart purposes, to replace a worn copy, to understand the contents of such machine-readable material, or to modify the Software as provided below; provided, however, that no more than the number of printed copies and machine-readable copies as specified in the Statement of Work will be in existence under this Contract at any time without Contractor's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The original, and any copies of the Software, in whole or in part, which are made hereunder shall be the property of Contractor.
Unless prohibited or restricted in the Statement of Work, the State may modify any non- personal computer Software, in machine-readable form, for its own use and merge it into other program material.

Unless otherwise specified in the Statement of Work, if improved versions, patches, corrections, modifications, bug fixes, updates, or releases (collectively, Updates) of the Software versions are developed by Contractor and are made available to other licensees, such Updates will be made available to the State at no additional cost only if such are made available to other licensees at no additional cost. If Contractor offers new versions or upgrades to the Software, they shall be made available to the State at the State's option, at a price no greater than the Contract price, plus a price increase proportionate to the increase from the list price of the original version to that of the new version, if any. If the Software has no list price, such price increase will be proportionate to the increase in average price from the original to the new version, if any, as estimated by Contractor in good faith.
4.4 AUTHORIZATION CODES:
When encryption/CPU identification (ID) authorization codes are required to operate the Software, Contractor will provide all codes to the State with delivery of the Software. In case of inoperative CPU, Contractor will provide a temporary encryption/CPU ID authorization code to the State for use on a temporarily authorized CPU until the designated CPU is returned to operation. When changes in designated CPUs occur, the State will notify Contractor by telephone or e-mail of such change. Upon receipt of such notice, Contractor will issue to the State within 24 hours, via telephone or e-mail, a temporary encryption/CPU ID authorization code for use on the newly designated CPU until such time as a permanent code is assigned.
4.5 DOCUMENTATION:
Contractor agrees to provide to the State, at no charge, all Documentation as described within the Statement of Work, and updated versions thereof, which are necessary or useful to the State in its use of the Deliverables or the System provided hereunder. The State may reproduce the Documentation as reasonably necessary to use the Deliverables or System, provided that all such copies reproduce Contractor's proprietary markings in the same form and manner as the original.

Contractor agrees that the State may reproduce such Documentation for the State's own use in maintaining the Deliverables or the System, and Contractor agrees to license any other Contractor that the State may have hired for maintenance to use the above noted Documentation.

The State will notify Contractor promptly in writing of any such claim, and Contractor will have sole control of the defense of any claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, provided that:
(a) when substantial principles of government or public law are involved, when litigation might create precedent affecting future State operations or liability, or when involvement of the State is required by law, the State may participate in such action at its own expense with respect to attorneys' fees and costs (but not liability); (b) where a settlement would impose liability on the State, affect principles of California government or public law, or impact the authority of the State, the Department of General Services (DGS), or as appropriate, the California Department of Technology (CDT), must approve any settlement or compromise, which approval will not unreasonably be withheld or delayed; and
(c) the State will reasonably cooperate in the defense and in any related settlement negotiations. Further, Contractor agrees it will not enter into any arrangement with any third-party which may diminish any rights of the State under this Contract.

16.3.1 Effect of Termination for Default: If the State terminates the Contract in whole or in part for default:
