employee, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or any other consideration
contingent upon, or resulting from, the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation
of this warranty, City will have the right to annul this Agreement without liability, or, in its discretion,
to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, or otherwise recover, the full amount of the
fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fees, gift, or contingent fee.
22. CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS
By signing this Agreement, Contractor agrees that any Agreement claim submitted to City must
be asserted as part of the Agreement process as set forth in this Agreement and not in anticipation
of litigation or in conjunction with litigation. Contractor acknowledges that if a false claim is
submitted to City, it may be considered fraud and Contractor may be subject to criminal
prosecution. Contractor acknowledges that California Government Code sections 12650 et seq.,
the False Claims Act applies to this Agreement and, provides for civil penalties where a person
knowingly submits a false claim to a public entity. These provisions include false claims made
with deliberate ignorance of the false information or in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of
information. If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the False Claims Act, it is entitled to
recover its litigation costs, including attorney's fees. Contractor acknowledges that the filing of a
false claim may subject Contractor to an administrative debarment proceeding as the result of
which Contractor may be prevented to act as a Contractor on any public work or improvement for
a period of up to five (5) years. Contractor acknowledges debarment by another jurisdiction is
grounds for City to terminate this Agreement.

or rights provided for by this Agreement will be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction in the
County of San Diego, State of California, and the parties waive all provisions of law providing for
a change of venue in these proceedings to any other county.
24. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
It is mutually understood and agreed that this Agreement will be binding upon City and Contractor
and their respective successors. Neither this Agreement nor any part of it nor any monies due or
to become due under it may be assigned by Contractor without the prior consent of City, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, together with any other written document referred to or contemplated by it, along
with the purchase order for this Agreement and its provisions, embody the entire Agreement and
understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter of it. In case of conflict, the terms
of the Agreement supersede the purchase order. Neither this Agreement nor any of its provisions

22. CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS
By signing this Agreement, Contractor agrees that any Agreement claim submitted to City must

of litigation or in conjunction with litigation. Contractor acknowledges that if a false claim is
submitted to City, it may be considered fraud and Contractor may be subject to criminal
prosecution. Contractor acknowledges that California Government Code sections 12650 et seq.,
the False Claims Act applies to this Agreement and, provides for civil penalties where a person
knowingly submits a false claim to a public entity. These provisions include false claims made
with deliberate ignorance of the false information or in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of
information. If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the False Claims Act, it is entitled to
recover its litigation costs, including attorney's fees. Contractor acknowledges that the filing of a
false claim may subject Contractor to an administrative debarment proceeding as the result of
which Contractor may be prevented to act as a Contractor on any public work or improvement for
a period of up to five (5) years. Contractor acknowledges debarment by another jurisdiction is
grounds for City to terminate this Agreement.

or rights provided for by this Agreement will be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction in the
