any, will be included in the invoice. It is Client's responsibility to provide applicable exemption
certificate(s).

invoice. Client agrees that a failure to provide Granicus with purchase order information will not relieve
Client of its obligations to provide payment in accordance with this section.
d) Price Changes. Subject to any price schedule or pre -negotiated fees to which this Agreement or
an Order may be subject, Granicus will provide notice of any price changes prior to the end of the current
Term, which subject to Section 3.b, will become effective as of the next Renewal Term. Such notification

price and licenses, subject to volume or transaction metrics, and will be reviewed annually prior to
commencement of the Renewal Term, with fees adjusted to cover increases in Client's use.
e) Cooperative Purchasing. To the extent permitted by law the terms of this Agreement may be
extended for use by other municipalities, school districts and governmental agencies. Orders and SOWs
entered into by such third parties are independent agreements between the third party and Granicus and
do not affect this Agreement or any Order or SOW between Granicus and Client.
f) Overages. For any Products or Services purchased in tiers, with volume caps, specified number
of users, or other measured metrics, it is the Client's responsibility to purchase up to the level of use
needed by Client. Any overage will be charged to Client at the then -current rate for such tier or volume,
or the rate set forth in Client's pricing arrangements with Granicus or Granicus resellers. Payment for
such overages must be made in the then -current term unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.
g) Resellers. If Client has entered into a separate agreement with an authorized distributor or
reseller of Products and/or Services, the terms of such third -party agreement will supersede conflicting
terms contained herein solely as they relate to payment schedules and pricing as negotiated between
Client and the reseller.

comply with all laws, rules and regulations relating to the use, disclosure and transmission of such
