processing units, and any peripheral hardware such as terminals, printers, and personal computers.
COUNTY System Software means the operating system and database software installed on the
County System Hardware.
Final System Acceptance means indexing services are completed, the QuickLink software has
been installed and tested, and the QuickLink software performs all functions in accordance with its
specifications, and the COUNTY has delivered to CONTRACTOR a written notice of acceptance.

1)SUPPORT HOURS/SCOPE:
Provide unlimited technical assistance by phone during normal coverage hours
(8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST), Monday through Friday, except for
days that are holidays for either CONTRACTOR or COUNTY ), toll-free telephone
assistance to keep the System in, or restored to, normal operating condition in
conformance with the specifications set forth in this Agreement. The object of this support
will be to answer questions related to the System Software and the application thereof.
Support provided under this Agreement does not include training of new COUNTY
personnel after initial staff is trained, operation of hardware, or solving hardware or
software problems unrelated to the System Software.
2)SUPPORT RESPONSE:
During the term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR will (a) correct any error or
malfunctions in the System that prevent the System from operating in conformance with
the specifications set forth in Section 1 and Section 2.C of this Agreement, or (b) provide
a commercially reasonable alternative that will conform to the specifications set forth in in
Section 1 of this Agreement.
If analysis by CONTRACTOR indicates a reported problem is caused by a
reproducible error or malfunction in the then-current release of the System Software,
which significantly impedes effective use of the System by COUNTY for the Recorder’s
purposes described in the recitals and in Section 2 above, CONTRACTOR will, if the
System is inoperable, as reported by COUNTY, provide continuous effort to correct the
error or to resolve the problem by providing a circumvention.

respond to the service request no later than within one (1) business day.
3) ERROR CORRECTION PROCESS
If, during the term of this Agreement, COUNTY determines that a System Software error exists,
COUNTY will first follow the error procedures specified in the System Documentation. If following the
error procedures does not correct the software error, COUNTY shall immediately notify CONTRACTOR
via phone or email, setting forth the defects noted with specificity. Upon notification of a reported
software error, CONTRACTOR shall have five (5) business days to determine if any actual software
errors exist and, if so, endeavor to correct such software errors. CONTRACTOR may request
reasonable additional time to solve difficult problems and COUNTY will not unreasonably deny such
requests. Within fifteen (15) days of correction, COUNTY shall retest the System Software and report
any other software errors.

CONTRACTOR shall provide data and system corrections that are necessary due
to COUNTY errors or unauthorized source code or data access by COUNTY.
CONTRACTOR shall provide such corrections . Unauthorized data access is defined as
any COUNTY editing of data through other than normal System Software usage, as
defined in System Documentation. Unauthorized source code access is defined as any
COUNTY access whatsoever to System Software source code. COUNTY will not pay any
compensation to CONTRACTOR for services that result from errors caused by QuickLink
or instruction provided by CONTRACTOR.
E. SYSTEM UPDATES
1) SYSTEM UPDATES
From time to time CONTRACTOR will develop and provide updates to the System
Software. CONTRACTOR shall provide updates to the System Software at no additional
charge to COUNTY during the term of this Agreement. Updates to the System Software
are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall be deemed licensed
System Software under this Agreement.

supported by the O/S vendor. The System Software version is expected to always be no more than one
year older than the current released O/S version.
COUNTY will notify CONTRACTOR when a critical security patch is released for the supported
O/S or related subsystems. CONTRACTOR will have thirty (30) days to ensure the System Software
can perform in the updated environment. With approval from CONTRACTOR, COUNTY will apply
patches to both the O/S and non-critical subsystems as releases are available from vendors. The
System Software must continue to perform as the O/S and other subsystems are updated.

Unless otherwise specified, for third-party software that is required for COUNTY to use the
System Software, CONTRACTOR shall provide standard documentation in electronic form (via the
Internet or File Transfer Protocol (FTP)).
The System Software being provided runs in a Local Area Network and Web environment. As
such, the performance of the System Software is directly related to, among other things: available
network bandwidth, and the performance of other applications. For this reason, CONTRACTOR makes
no guarantees as to System Software response time.
COUNTY will not allow CONTRACTOR to access to COUNTY’s intranet, internal data, or email
system, and CONTRACTOR shall not require such access in order to provide the System.

Information to any person (an “Unauthorized Third Party”) other than Authorized Persons

consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in any case in which CONTRACTOR
believes it, or any Authorized Person, is required to disclose Personal Information to
government regulatory authorities, or pursuant to a legal proceeding, or otherwise as may
be required by applicable law, Contractor shall (a) immediately notify COUNTY of the
specific demand for, and legal authority for the disclosure, including providing County with a
copy of any notice, discovery demand, subpoena, or order, as applicable, received by
CONTRACTOR, or any Authorized Person, from any government regulatory authorities, or
in relation to any legal proceeding, and (b) promptly notify COUNTY before such Personal
Information is offered by CONTRACTOR for such disclosure so that COUNTY may have
sufficient time to obtain a court order or take any other action COUNTY may deem
necessary to protect the Personal Information from such disclosure, and CONTRACTOR
shall cooperate with COUNTY to minimize the scope of such disclosure of such Personal
Information.
