NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein,

The Parties agree and confirm they have received valid, adequate, and sufficient consideration in
connection with this Agreement.
4. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor’s
independent calling, and not as an employee of City. Contractor will be under the control of City only as
to the results to be accomplished.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor Performance. Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City), indemnify,
and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers
from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the
performance of the work described herein caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission
PSALCA-24027CA
City Attorney Approved Version 12/22/2023
Page 2
of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone
for whose acts any of them may be liable.
The Parties expressly agree that any payment, attorney’s fee, costs or expense City incurs or makes to or
on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation is included as
a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or
early termination of this Agreement.
Artwork Transportation. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City and its officers,
elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses
and expenses including attorneys fees arising from loss or damage to the Artwork while in transit to the
City or from the City to the address of origin as specified by Contractor in the shipping return label. If
applicable and subject to the terms of Exhibit A, the City shall provide USPS Priority Mail Insurance for
return shipping of Artwork to Contractor, but in no event shall it limit or diminish the Contractor’s
agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the City under this section of the Agreement.
Warranty of Title. Contractor warrants that Contractor is either the owner of the Artwork or the
authorized agent of the lawful owner or artist of the Artwork and has the authority to enter into this
Agreement and to grant the rights to City as set forth in this Agreement. Contractor also warrants that the
Artwork(s) is not now and will not be subject to claims of ownership, lien, encumbrance, copyright
infringement, or trademark infringement under any state or federal law. Contractor shall defend (with
counsel approved by the City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and
appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses
including attorneys fees related to any claim asserting a violation or potential claim of violation under this
Warranty of Title.
6. ARTWORK INSURANCE
City’s Possession. The Artwork is only insured while in the City’s possession. As such, the Artwork is
insured from the time of arrival at the Cannon Art Gallery until the time it is picked up by the Lender or (if
the Lender elects in-kind return shipping) dropped off at a USPS location for return shipping. City will
insure the Artwork against any loss or damage while it is in the City’s possession for the Fair Market Value
as specified by the Lender in this Agreement. For purposes of insurance coverage, the City requires the
Lender to value Artwork(s) accurately according to Artworks by the artist of similar size, style, medium,
and if possible, based upon previous sales. City may require Lender to provide reasonable evidence of the
Artwork's stated Fair Market Value. In the event of loss or damage to the Artwork, Lender’s failure to
provide supporting evidence of the Artwork's stated Fair Market Value will result in the City’s sole
determination of the Artwork's Fair Market Value. The signing of this Agreement by the City does not
constitute an endorsement of the Lender’s stated Fair Market Value. In the event of loss or damage to the
Artwork, Lender’s maximum recovery from the City is limited to the Artwork’s Fair Market Value as
specified in this section of the Agreement. Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City and its
officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims in excess of the Artwork’s Fair Market
Value as specified in this section of the Agreement. In the event of partial loss or damage, the City’s liability
shall be limited to the cost of repair or restoration or any resulting loss in Fair Market Value, whichever is
less. City shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, even
if the City has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Transportation. Contractor is solely responsible for obtaining any applicable shipping or transportation
insurance to cover any claims for damages or losses resulting from the shipment or transportation of the
Artwork by the Contractor to the City. If applicable and subject to the terms specified in Exhibit A, City
shall provide USPS Priority Mail Insurance for return shipping of the Artwork to the address of origin.
Contractor may purchase additional insurance at Contractor’s expense and discretion for any damages or
losses resulting from the return shipping or transportation of the Artwork to the address of origin. The
City’s purchase of USPS Priority Mail Insurance in no way limits the Indemnification section of this
Agreement.
7. INSURANCE

insurance, a combined policy of workers' compensation, employers liability insurance, and professional
liability insurance from an insurance company authorized to transact the business of insurance in the State
of California which has a current Best's Key Rating of not less than "A-:VII"; OR with a surplus line insurer
on the State of California’s List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers (LASLI) with a rating in the latest Best’s
Key Rating Guide of at least “A:X”; OR an alien non-admitted insurer listed by the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) latest quarterly listings report, in an amount of not less than one million
dollars ($1,000,000) each, unless otherwise authorized and approved by the Risk Manager or the City
Manager. Contractor will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be
written as claims-made coverage. The insurance will be in force during the life of this Agreement and will
not be canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City by certified mail. City will be
named as an additional insured on General Liability which shall provide primary coverage to the City. The
full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to the City as an additional
insured. Contractor will furnish certificates of insurance to the Contract Department, with endorsements
to City prior to City’s execution of this Agreement.
