   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR of any such failure within sixty (60) days of the time that the failure becomes

   all other remedies against INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR at law or in equity.

 L. DCSD WARRANTY: INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR acknowledges that it shall be entitled to rely on the
    accuracy of information supplied by DCSD or any of DCSD’s contractors or consultants to be provided by

    implied.

M. WORK FOR HIRE: To the extent that the Services involve the creation or development of custom,
   proprietary materials for DCSD which are specially ordered and commissioned by DCSD hereunder and are
   subject to copyright, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR agrees that the Services are performed as a “work for
   hire” as that term is defined under U.S. copyright law, and that as a result, DCSD will own all copyrights in
   any and all materials or other deliverables resulting from or provided in conjunction with the Services.
   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR agrees to perform such Services in a diligent and workmanlike manner. The
   content, style, form and format of any such work for hire shall be completely satisfactory to DCSD and shall

  P.   BACKGROUND CHECKS: If INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR or any personnel/subcontractors of INDEPENDENT
       CONTRACTOR will have contact with students or will perform services in buildings or in close proximity to
       students, then a Background Check is required for each person providing said Services. Such background
       check shall be the same criminal background check, within the last 365 days, as required by DCSD
       employees. Such background checks will be performed by DCSD at the expense of the INDEPENDENT
       CONTRACTOR. Additionally, any charges against the INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, or personnel, may be
       deemed unacceptable in DCSD’s sole discretion regardless of whether dismissed, expunged, sealed,
       removed from the record, treated as a “first offender” or dead docketed. Upon receipt and evaluation of
       DCSD’s background check results, DCSD may demand that the personnel named in the check result, not
       provide services to DCSD premises. Any failure of the INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, or personnel, to obtain
       a criminal records background check through DCSD, as stated herein, may result in termination of any
       resulting contract between INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR and DCSD.
