4867-9064-2948.v1

required to provide, are filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such
claims;

electronic transfer of funds. The Contractor agrees that there shall be no additional charges,
surcharges, or penalties to the City for payments made by credit card or electronic funds transfer.
G. The awarding or continuation of this contract is dependent upon the availability of funding. The
City’s payment obligations are payable only and solely from funds Appropriated and available for
this contract. The absence of Appropriated or other lawfully available funds shall render the
Contract null and void to the extent funds are not Appropriated or available and any deliverables
delivered but unpaid shall be returned to the Contractor. The City shall provide the Contractor
written notice of the failure of the City to make an adequate Appropriation for any fiscal year to
pay the amounts due under the Contract, or the reduction of any Appropriation to an amount
insufficient to permit the City to pay its obligations under the Contract. In the event of none or
inadequate appropriation of funds, there will be no penalty nor removal fees charged to the City.

page 9 of 54
4867-9064-2948.v1
the Contractor is required to submit a Contract Close-Out MBE/WBE Compliance Report to the
Purchasing Manager no later than the 15th calendar day after completion of all work under the
contract. Final payment, retainage, or both may be withheld if the Contractor is not in compliance
with the requirements as accepted by the City.
B. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:
i. a waiver of all claims by the City against the Contractor, except claims (1) which have
been previously asserted in writing and not yet settled, (2) arising from defective work appearing
after final inspection, (3) arising from failure of the Contractor to comply with the Contract or the
terms of any warranty specified herein, (4) arising from the Contractor’s continuing obligations
under the Contract, including but not limited to indemnity and warranty obligations, or (5) arising
under the City’s right to audit; and ii. a waiver of all claims by the Contractor against the City other
than those previously asserted in writing and not yet settled.
16. SPECIAL TOOLS & TEST EQUIPMENT: If the price stated on the Offer includes the cost
of any special tooling or special test equipment fabricated or required by the Contractor for the
purpose of filling this order, such special tooling equipment and any process sheets related thereto
shall become the property of the City and shall be identified by the Contractor as such.
17. RIGHT TO AUDIT:
A. The City shall have the right to audit and make copies of the books, records and computations
pertaining to the Contract. The Contractor shall retain such books, records, documents and other
evidence pertaining to the Contract period and five years thereafter, except if an audit is in progress
or audit findings are yet unresolved, in which case records shall be kept until all audit tasks are
completed and resolved. These books, records, documents and other evidence shall be available,
within ten (10) business days of written request. Further, the Contractor shall also require all
Subcontractors, material suppliers, and other payees to retain all books, records, documents and
other evidence pertaining to the Contract, and to allow the City similar access to those documents.
The cost of the audit will be borne by the City unless the audit reveals an overpayment of 1% or
greater. The City will provide copies of all audit notes and results to the Contractor within thirty
(30) days following the conclusion of an audit. The conclusions of the audit shall set forth in detail
the basis for any overpayment claimed or underpayment discovered. Within thirty (30) days, the
Contractor will notify the City in writing if it objects to the conclusions of the audit. If no objection
to the audit report is timely made by the Contractor, the results of the audit will be deemed accepted.
If an accepted audit report concludes that an overpayment of 1% or greater has occurred, which is
the fault of the Contractor, the reasonable cost of the audit, including any travel costs, must be borne
by the Contractor which must be payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice. If the audit
report establishes that the City underpaid the Contractor, the City will pay to the Contractor the
amount of the underpayment within thirty (30) days of the report being deemed accepted. The City
may not use the services of contingency based auditors for any audits under the Contract.
B. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall be a material breach of the Contract
and shall constitute, in the non-breaching party’s sole discretion, grounds for termination thereof.
Each of the terms “books”, “records”, “documents” and “other evidence”, as used above, shall be
construed to include drafts and electronic files, even if such drafts or electronic files are
subsequently used to generate or prepare a final printed document.
18. SUBCONTRACTORS:
A. If the Contractor identified Subcontractors in a DBE/MBE/WBE agreed to Plan, the Contractor
shall comply with all requirements approved by the City. The Contractor shall not initially employ

page 10 of 54
4867-9064-2948.v1
any Subcontractor except as provided in the Contractor’s Plan. The Contractor shall not substitute
any Subcontractor identified in the Plan, unless the substitute has been accepted by the City in
writing. No acceptance by the City of any Subcontractor shall constitute a waiver of any rights or
remedies of the City with respect to defective deliverables provided by a Subcontractor. If a Plan
has been approved, the Contractor is additionally required to submit a monthly Subcontract Awards
and Expenditures Report to the Procurement Manager, no later than the tenth calendar day of each
month.
B. Except as it relates to the provision of Software as a Service: Work performed for the Contractor
by a Subcontractor shall be pursuant to a written contract between the Contractor and Subcontractor.
The terms of the subcontract may not conflict with the terms of the
Contract, and shall contain provisions that:
i. require that all deliverables to be provided by the Subcontractor be provided in strict
accordance with the provisions, specifications and terms of the Contract;
ii. prohibit the Subcontractor from further subcontracting any portion of the Contract
without the prior written consent of the City and the Contractor. The City may require, as
a condition to such further subcontracting, that the Subcontractor post a payment bond in
form, substance and amount acceptable to the City;
iii. require Subcontractors to submit all invoices and applications for payments, including
any claims for additional payments, damages or otherwise, to the Contractor in sufficient
time to enable the Contractor to include same with its invoice or application for payment
to the City in accordance with the terms of the Contract;
iv. require that all Subcontractors obtain and maintain, throughout the term of their
contract, insurance in the type and amounts specified for the Contractor, with the City
being a named insured as its interest shall appear; and
v. require that the Subcontractor indemnify and hold the City harmless to the same extent
as the Contractor is required to indemnify the City.
C. The Contractor shall be fully responsible to the City for all acts and omissions of the
Subcontractors just as the Contractor is responsible for the Contractor's own acts and omissions.
Nothing in the Contract shall create for the benefit of any such Subcontractor any contractual
relationship between the City and any such Subcontractor, nor shall it create any obligation on the
part of the City to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys due any such Subcontractor except
as may otherwise be required by law.
D. The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor its appropriate share of payments made to the
Contractor not later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of payment from the City.
19. WARRANTY-PRICE:
A. The Contractor warrants the prices quoted in the Offer are no higher than the Contractor's current
prices on new orders by others for like deliverables under similar terms of purchase.
B. The Contractor certifies that the prices in the Offer have been arrived at independently without
consultation, communication, or agreement for the purpose of restricting competition, as to any
matter relating to such fees with any other firm or with any competitor.
C. In addition to any other remedy available, the City may deduct from any amounts owed to the
Contractor, or otherwise recover, any amounts paid for items in excess of the Contractor's current
prices on orders by others for like deliverables under similar terms of purchase.
20. WARRANTY – TITLE: The Contractor warrants that it has good and indefeasible title to all
deliverables furnished under the Contract, and that the deliverables are free and clear of all liens,

harmless from and against all adverse title claims to the deliverables.
21. WARRANTY – DELIVERABLES: The Contractor warrants and represents that all
deliverables sold the City under the Contract shall be free from defects in design, workmanship or
manufacture, and conform in all material respects to the specifications, drawings, and descriptions

The City shall endeavor to give the Contractor written notice of the breach of warranty within thirty
(30) calendar days of discovery of the breach of warranty, but failure to give timely notice shall not
impair the City’s rights under this section.

deliverables as required by the City, then in addition to any other available remedy, the City may
reduce the quantity of deliverables it may be required to purchase under the Contract from the
Contractor, and purchase conforming deliverables from other sources. In such event, the Contractor
shall pay to the City upon demand the increased cost, if any, incurred by the City to procure such
deliverables from another source.
E. If the Contractor is not the manufacturer, and the deliverables are covered by a separate
manufacturer’s warranty, the Contractor shall transfer and assign such manufacturer’s warranty to
the City. If for any reason the manufacturer’s warranty cannot be fully transferred to the City, the
Contractor shall assist and cooperate with the City to the fullest extent to enforce such
manufacturer’s warranty for the benefit of the City.

implied by law, and any attempt to do so shall be without force or effect.

Contract, the warranty period shall be at least one year from the Acceptance Date. If during the
warranty period, one or more of the above warranties are breached, the Contractor shall promptly
upon receipt of demand perform the services again in accordance with above standard at no
additional cost to the City. All costs incidental to such additional performance shall be borne by the
Contractor. The City shall endeavor to give the Contractor written notice of the breach of warranty
within thirty (30) calendar days of discovery of the breach warranty, but failure to give timely notice
shall not impair the City’s rights under this section.

instead of requiring immediate correction or removal and replacement of defective or non-
conforming deliverables, the City prefers to accept it, the City may do so.
24. RIGHT TO ASSURANCE: Whenever one party to the Contract in good faith has reason to
question the other party’s intent to perform, demand may be made to the other party for written
assurance of the intent to perform. In the event that no assurance is given within the time specified
after demand is made, the demanding party may treat this failure as an anticipatory repudiation of
the Contract.
25. STOP WORK NOTICE: The City may issue an immediate Stop Work Notice in the event the
Contractor is observed performing in a manner that is in violation of Federal, State, or local
guidelines, or in a manner that is determined by the City to be unsafe to either life or property. Upon

condition has been corrected. The Contractor shall be liable for all costs incurred by the City as a
result of the issuance of such Stop Work Notice.
26. DEFAULT: The Contractor shall be in default under the Contract if the Contractor (a) fails to
fully, timely and faithfully perform any of its material obligations under the Contract, (b) fails to
provide adequate assurance of performance under Paragraph 24, (c) becomes insolvent or seeks
relief under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or (d) makes a material misrepresentation in
Contractor’s Offer, or in any report or deliverable required to be submitted by the Contractor to the
City.
27. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: In the event of a default by the Contractor, the City shall
have the right to terminate the Contract for cause, by written notice effective thirty (30) calendar
days, unless otherwise specified, after the date of such notice, unless the Contractor, within such
thirty (30) day period, cures such default, or provides evidence sufficient to prove to the City’s
reasonable satisfaction that such default does not, in fact, exist. In addition to any other remedy
available under law or in equity, the City shall be entitled to recover all actual damages, costs, losses
and expenses, incurred by the City as a result of the Contractor’s default, including, without
limitation, cost of cover, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and prejudgment and post-
judgment interest at the maximum lawful rate. Additionally, in the event of a default by the
Contractor, the City may remove the Contractor from the City’s vendor list for three (3) years and
any Offer submitted by the Contractor may be disqualified for up to three (3) years. All rights and
remedies under the Contract are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other right or remedy provided by
law.
28. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE: After the initial term, either party shall have the right
to terminate the Contract, in whole or in part, without cause any time upon sixty (60) calendar days’
prior written notice (“Without Cause Termination Notice”). Upon receipt or provision of a notice
of termination, the Contractor shall promptly cease all Services; provided that City reserves the
right to continue use the Software during the term of the applicable SOW for up to nine (9) months
from the date of the Without Cause Termination Notice while City transitions to and implements a
new solution (“Transition Period”). During the Transition Period, all obligations of the parties under
the Contract will continue. The City shall pay the Contractor, to the extent of funds Appropriated
or otherwise legally available for such purposes, for all goods delivered and services performed and

page 13 of 54
4867-9064-2948.v1
obligations incurred prior to the date of termination in accordance with the terms hereof.
29. FRAUD: Fraudulent statements by the Contractor on any Offer or in any report or deliverable
required to be submitted by the Contractor to the City shall be grounds for the termination of the
Contract for cause by the City and may result in legal action.
30. DELAYS:
A. The City may delay scheduled delivery or other due dates by up to sixty (60) days by written
notice to the Contractor if the City deems it is in its best interest. If such delay causes an increase
in the cost of the work under the Contract, the City and the Contractor shall negotiate an equitable
adjustment for costs incurred by the Contractor in the Contract price and execute an amendment to
the Contract. The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment within thirty (30) calendar days
from the date of receipt of the notice of delay. Failure to agree on any adjusted price shall be handled
under the Dispute Resolution process specified in paragraph 49. However, nothing in this provision
shall excuse the Contractor from delaying the delivery as notified.
B. Neither party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under
this Contract if, while and to the extent such default or delay is caused by acts of God, fire, riots,
civil commotion, labor disruptions, sabotage, sovereign conduct, or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of such Party. In the event of default or delay in contract performance due to any
of the foregoing causes, then the time for completion of the services will be extended; provided,
however, in such an event, a conference will be held within three (3) business days to establish a
mutually agreeable period of time reasonably necessary to overcome the effect of such failure to
perform.

DocuSign Envelope ID: F26EF5FA-8AB5-443C-8BD7-0344EE2E2039
page 16 of 54
4867-9064-2948.v1
deliverables and (ii) the deliverables supplied by the Contractor in accordance with the
specifications in the Contract will not infringe, directly or contributorily, any patent, trademark,
copyright, trade secret, or any other intellectual property right of any kind of any third party; that
no claims have been made by any person or entity with respect to the ownership or operation of the
deliverables and the Contractor does not know of any valid basis for any such claims. The
Contractor shall, at its sole expense, defend, indemnify, and hold the City harmless from and against
all liability, damages, and costs (including court costs and reasonable fees of attorneys and other
professionals) arising out of or resulting from: (i) any claim that the City’s exercise anywhere in
the world of the rights associated with the City’s’ ownership, and if applicable, license rights, and
its use of the deliverables infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party; or (ii) the
Contractor’s breach of any of Contractor’s representations or warranties stated in this Contract. In
the event of any such claim, the City shall have the right to monitor such claim or at its option
engage its own separate counsel to act as co-counsel on the City’s behalf. Further, Contractor agrees
that the City’s specifications regarding the deliverables shall in no way diminish Contractor’s
warranties or obligations under this paragraph and the City makes no warranty that the production,
development, or delivery of such deliverables will not impact such warranties of Contractor.
37. CONFIDENTIALITY: In order to provide the deliverables to the City, Contractor may require
access to certain of the City’s and/or its licensors’ confidential information (including inventions,
employee information, trade secrets, confidential know-how, confidential business information,
and other information which the City or its licensors consider confidential) (collectively,
“Confidential Information”). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information
is the valuable property of the City and/or its licensors and any unauthorized use, disclosure,
dissemination, or other release of the Confidential Information will substantially injure the City
and/or its licensors. The Contractor (including its employees, subcontractors, agents, or
representatives) agrees that it will maintain the Confidential Information in strict confidence and
shall not disclose, disseminate, copy, divulge, recreate, or otherwise use the Confidential
Information without the prior written consent of the City or in a manner not expressly permitted
under this Agreement, unless the Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law or an
order of any court or other governmental authority with proper jurisdiction, provided the Contractor
promptly notifies the City before disclosing such information so as to permit the City reasonable
time to seek an appropriate protective order. The Contractor agrees to use protective measures no
less stringent than the Contractor uses within its own business to protect its own most valuable
information, which protective measures shall under all circumstances be at least reasonable
measures to ensure the continued confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
38. OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DELIVERABLES: Intentionally Deleted.
39. PUBLICATIONS: Except as it relates to the provision of Software as a Service: All published
material and written reports submitted under the Contract must be originally developed material

consent, the fact that the City has entered into the Contract, except to the extent required by law.
41. NO CONTINGENT FEES: The Contractor warrants that no person or selling agency has been
employed or retained to solicit or secure the Contract upon any agreement or understanding for
commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, excepting bona fide employees of bona fide

page 17 of 54
4867-9064-2948.v1
established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the Contractor for the purpose of securing
business. For breach or violation of this warranty, the City shall have the right, in addition to any
other remedy available, to cancel the Contract without liability and to deduct from any amounts
owed to the Contractor, or otherwise recover, the full amount of such commission, percentage,
brokerage or contingent fee.
42. GRATUITIES: The City may, by written notice to the Contractor, cancel the Contract without
liability if it is determined by the City that gratuities were offered or given by the Contractor or any
agent or representative of the Contractor to any officer or employee of the City of Denton with a
view toward securing the Contract or securing favorable treatment with respect to the awarding or
amending or the making of any determinations with respect to the performing of such contract. In
the event the Contract is canceled by the City pursuant to this provision, the City shall be entitled,
in addition to any other rights and remedies, to recover or withhold the amount of the cost incurred
by the Contractor in providing such gratuities.
43. PROHIBITION AGAINST PERSONAL INTEREST IN CONTRACTS: No officer,
employee, independent consultant, or elected official of the City who is involved in the
development, evaluation, or decision-making process of the performance of any solicitation shall
have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in the Contract resulting from that solicitation as defined
in the City’s Ethic Ordinance 18-757 and in the City Charter chapter 2 article XI(Ethics). Any
willful violation of this section shall constitute impropriety in office, and any officer or employee
guilty thereof shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. Any violation of
this provision, with the knowledge, expressed or implied, of the Contractor shall render the Contract
voidable by the City. The Contractor shall complete and submit the City’s Conflict of Interest
Questionnaire.
44. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR: The Contract shall not be construed as creating an
employer/employee relationship, a partnership, or a joint venture. The Contractor’s services shall
be those of an independent contractor. The Contractor agrees and understands that the Contract
does not grant any rights or privileges established for employees of the City of Denton, Texas for
the purposes of income tax, withholding, social security taxes, vacation or sick leave benefits, worker’s
compensation, or any other City employee benefit. The City shall not have supervision and control of
the Contractor or any employee of the Contractor, and it is expressly understood that Contractor shall
perform the services hereunder according to the attached specifications at the general direction of the
City Manager of the City of Denton, Texas, or his designee under this agreement. The contractor is
expressly free to advertise and perform services for other parties while performing services for the
City.
45. ASSIGNMENT-DELEGATION: The Contract shall be binding upon and ensure to the benefit
of the City and the Contractor and their respective successors and assigns, provided however, that
no right or interest in the Contract shall be assigned and no obligation shall be delegated by the
Contractor without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempted assignment or delegation
by the Contractor shall be void unless made in conformity with this paragraph. The Contract is not
intended to confer rights or benefits on any person, firm or entity not a party hereto; it being the
intention of the parties that there are no third party beneficiaries to the Contract.
The Vendor shall notify the City’s Purchasing Manager, in writing, of a company name,
ownership, or address change for the purpose of maintaining updated City records. The
president of the company or authorized official must sign the letter. A letter indicating
DocuSign Envelope ID: F26EF5FA-8AB5-443C-8BD7-0344EE2E2039
page 18 of 54
4867-9064-2948.v1
changes in a company name or ownership must be accompanied with supporting legal
documentation such as an updated W-9, documents filed with the state indicating such
change, copy of the board of director’s resolution approving the action, or an executed
merger or acquisition agreement. Failure to do so may adversely impact future invoice
payments.
46. WAIVER: No claim or right arising out of a breach of the Contract can be discharged in whole
or in part by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless the waiver or renunciation is
supported by consideration and is in writing signed by the aggrieved party. No waiver by either the
Contractor or the City of any one or more events of default by the other party shall operate as, or
be construed to be, a permanent waiver of any rights or obligations under the Contract, or an express
or implied acceptance of any other existing or future default or defaults, whether of a similar or
different character.
47. MODIFICATIONS: The Contract can be modified or amended only by a writing signed by
both parties. No pre-printed or similar terms on any the Contractor invoice, order or other document
shall have any force or effect to change the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Contract.
48. INTERPRETATION: The Contract is intended by the parties as a final, complete and
exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. No course of prior dealing between the parties
or course of performance or usage of the trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any term
used in the Contract. Although the Contract may have been substantially drafted by one party, it is
the intent of the parties that all provisions be construed in a manner to be fair to both parties, reading
no provisions more strictly against one party or the other. Whenever a term defined by the Uniform
Commercial Code, as enacted by the State of Texas, is used in the Contract, the UCC definition
shall control, unless otherwise defined in the Contract.
49. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to
negotiate prior to prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the filing
of a lawsuit to toll the running of a statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party
may make a written request for a meeting between representatives of each party within fourteen
(14) calendar days after receipt of the request or such later period as agreed by the parties. Each
party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision-making authority
regarding the dispute. The purpose of this and any subsequent meeting is to attempt in good faith
to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after such meeting, the
parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to
mediation as described below. Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both
parties, in which event the parties may proceed directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation
process, the parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation
skills to assist with resolution of the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the
Contractor agree to act in good faith in the selection of the mediator and to give consideration to
qualified individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract prevents the parties
from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subject matter of the dispute or a contract
interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of
initiation of the mediation process, the mediator shall be selected by the Denton County Alternative
Dispute Resolution Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith
DocuSign Envelope ID: F26EF5FA-8AB5-443C-8BD7-0344EE2E2039
page 19 of 54
4867-9064-2948.v1
for up to thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the first mediation session. The City and the
Contractor will share the mediator’s fees equally and the parties will bear their own costs of
participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to represent them or
otherwise assist them in the mediation.
50. JURISDICTION AND VENUE: The Contract is made under and shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted
in Texas, V.T.C.A., Bus. & Comm. Code, Chapter 1, excluding any rule or principle that would
refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or jurisdiction. All issues arising from this
Contract shall be resolved in the courts of Denton County, Texas and the parties agree to submit to
the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing, however, shall not be construed
or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure injunctive relief
from any competent authority as contemplated herein.
51. INVALIDITY: The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of the Contract
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the Contract.
Any void provision shall be deemed severed from the Contract and the balance of the Contract shall
be construed and enforced as if the Contract did not contain the particular portion or provision held
to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to replace any stricken provision with a
valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken provision. The provisions
of this section shall not prevent this entire Contract from being void should a provision which is the
essence of the Contract be determined to be void.

contract void if the contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days after
receipt of notice of breach from the governmental entity.

Julota provides Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions that are operated, maintained, monitored,
and secured by a talented team of professionals. We build our products following industry-leading
standards for reliability, performance, and security. Here at Julota, our clients’ desire for the best
solution drives us forward. We strive to provide you with the best features, the best user
experience, and the most intuitive software. Our partnerships with our clients drive success.
Julota operates in over 200 communities across the country including two state contracts in
Washington and one in Idaho. It started with the understanding that in every community, there is
a group of people who need assistance and a group of organizations that want to give help. But
there are many roadblocks that prevent that from happening. Julota introduced the concept of a
Connected Community. Founders Rick Pionkowski, a 30-year ER doctor, and Michael Schaedel, a
15-year enterprise solutions architect, lead the charge in connecting local resources together
across disparate systems, decimating the obstacles preventing communities from being proactive
in their population’s health. With backgrounds in both healthcare and technology, cofounders
Rick Pionkowski, MD, MS, and Michael Schaedel, MS,knew there had to be a better community
care model than the siloed version so prevalent today.
In the hospital emergency department (ED), Dr. Pionkowski saw every day how a disconnected
system resulted in repeated low acuity patients being brought in with needs that the ED could not
adequately address. At the same time, Schaedel having worked as a senior architect and software
engineer at iTriage and Mapquest, watched his sister struggle for years and then pass away from
an opioid addiction that could have been prevented through coordination and collaboration of
local agencies.
In late 2015 they met and joined forces to launch Julota. Shortly thereafter they recruited an
experienced and proven seller, Joshua Cast to handle their growing list of inquiries and referrals.
And then in 2018, they brought in Scott Cravens as CEO to complete the senior management
team.ADVISORSJulota

Julota, an acronym for JUst Love On Them Always, is a patented HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, CJIS, and
FERPA compliant interoperability platform that transforms the disconnected patchwork of local
service providers into a well-coordinated network that can proactively manage and support
individuals. Our cloud-based SaaS platform manages the consent and multidirectional sharing of
Personal Identity Information (PII) and Personal Health Information (PHI) between software
systems for healthcare, EMS, law enforcement, behavioral health, and social services organizations.
Julota manages and organizes an individual’s records from behavioral health, healthcare, criminal
justice, and social services into one holistic up-to-date record. Julota is a platform agnostic
technology that operates standalone or between each organization’s existing systems.
In addition to connecting data systems and providing community data transparency, Julota
operates as a hub and spoke system. A hub is an organization who administers a program. A
program (examples would be, crisis response, SUD, mobile integrated health, or co-responder) is a
set of work flows used to address individuals within a community who meet specific criteria.
Conversely, spokes are community resource organizations who send referrals to and receive
referrals from the hubs. Julota understands how to navigate consent and compliance
requirements creating community collaboration transparency to ensure the left hand knows what
the right hand is doing. Our platform allows multiple organizations to work together around a
specific individual despite different compliance and/or consent requirements.

health disorder. We also understand 55% of US Healthcare dollars are spent on less than 5% of the
population who are improperly using community resources. First responders are a community’s
front-line to meet these participants offering the greatest opportunity to reduce risk, lower costs,
and increase health.
Denton PD is at the leading edge of innovative client-focused programs as seen by adopting CIRT.
CIRT is a unique program that will share clients and work with Denton PD’s Homeless Outreach
Team (HOT) program. Per Chief Dixon, “there's a natural intersection between what our homeless
outreach team does and mental illness,” HOT and CIRT incorporate a model approaching clients to
meet them exactly where they are. HOT will build relationships with individuals moving them from
homelessness to housing. This movement requires high levels of trust and relationship-building to
achieve successful outcomes. CIRT also requires a high-level of trust though many relationships
are fostered through community resources and partners who will be connected by the team. The
unique initiative is founded from a client-centric philosophy delivering community transparency.
The innovative approach allows case managers to get the individual help while connecting them
to basic needs and supports. It’s our understanding both CIRT and HOT align with Denton PD’s
mission and goals for the community.

Julota is a patented, award-winning community interoperability platform, built on the four pillars
of interoperability, compliance, consent, and collaboration.
The cloud-based SaaS platform manages the consent and multidirectional sharing of PHI
(personal health information) and PII (personally identifiable information) between software
systems for healthcare, EMS, law enforcement, behavioral health, social services, and all other local
nonprofit and for-profit organizations.
Julota is a platform-agnostic technology that operates standalone or between each
organization’s existing systems to automate continuous-feedback collaboration and case
management. In addition, the proprietary HIPAA-, SAMHSA (42 CFR Part 2)-, CJIS-compliant
interface stores all interaction data across a historical longitudinal record for ease of
reporting and research.

Currently, the care continuum is divided into silos of communication that operate on unique
software built specifically for their users' needs. On top of that, each of these sectors has its own
compliances that must be adhered to along with databases of information that need to be
connected as part of a fully networked community.
But imagine if behavioral health could work through other agencies in the field that deal with their
patients on a day-to-day basis when they are experiencing a crisis in the triggering environment.
And what if EMS could connect low-acuity patients to appropriate care (rather than just
transporting to the ED) in order to prevent them from deteriorating into an acute or chronic
condition?
And what if law enforcement could connect individuals to case managers to prevent unnecessary
incarceration and address the underlying issues?
And finally, imagine if payers start reimbursing the entire care community like they are doing now
through Medicaid and federal pilot projects?
This kind of networking is lowering costs and improving healthcare today in over 150 different
communities using Julota.
But now take a step back and consider what would happen if you enlarge that local network
beyond EMS, behavioral health, social services, law enforcement, and healthcare.
Imagine connecting food banks into that same network to address food insecurities and
connecting fire departments to do fall risk assessment to prevent broken hips. Connecting Home
Advisor or Angie's List to provide free home repair estimates. Getting faith-based organizations to
address loneliness in the elderly and home maintenance needs. Enlisting medical and non-
medical rideshare services to get people to appointment.
And in times of Silver Alerts and disasters, sending out simultaneous messages to at-risk
individuals and their family and non-family caregivers to make sure they are safe and have their
medical dependencies addressed, decreasing the need for door-to-door searches.
Once all that happens, then you really have a safety net that keeps people from falling through the
cracks and supports a community-based solution, which is the most efficient and cost-effective
way to address population health.

Julota Sample Relevant Cases
Connecting the Community | page 11
Co-Responder / Mobile Mental Health Crisis Response
Form a team that includes a law enforcement officer trained in crisis intervention, a
behavioral health clinician, and in some cases a Paramedic.
Respond to calls through Julota from the crisis hotline as well as 9-1-1.
De-escalate and perform psychiatric evaluations generated by Julota.
Medically clear patients in the field through Julota which generates the paperwork and
alerts the behavioral health facility of an imminent direct admit.
Case managers are then alerted automatically of outreach to family members, adherence
to peer support programs, and other community-based follow-up.
CIT (Crisis Intervention Team)
Law enforcement arrives on scene for a substance abuse or mental health issue.
Individual is further identified as a candidate for a mental health clinic or substance abuse
treatment center rather than incarceration.
Julota confirms whether beds available prior to departure.
After individual is checked into the facility, Julota confirms status of either an M1 hold,
treatment program initiated, or individual is released.
If the individual was entered into treatment, Julota will confirm with law enforcement when
the individual completes treatment or drops out.
Alternative Scenario:
Law enforcement arrives on scene with an individual who is under the influence.
Rather than arresting, the individual is offered the option of entering into treatment within
two weeks.
When an individual shows up for treatment, Julota alerts law enforcement.
If the individual fails to enter treatment voluntarily, law enforcement is alerted to take
corrective measures.
LEAD/Jail Diversion
Law Enforcement enrolls individuals into Julota that have serious behavioral health issues
or are low-level offenders engaged in drug or prostitution activity.
Through Julota, they build a community care team including mental health, substance
abuse, and other community-based services.
Law enforcement and/or social services track individual progress in Julota across the care
continuum and present an aggregated case management file to the Judge.
Judge will allow case management to continue (in lieu of jail time) if progress is maintained.

Many community organizations cannot exchange health data with one another, let alone
Behavioral Health, EMS/Fire, Law Enforcement, or other community agencies. Julota bridges the
gap between organizations that use different law enforcement CAD Systems, EHR (electronic
health record) systems, and between EHRs and EMS ePCR (electronic patient care reporting)
system and law enforcement.
For example, EMS often work with law enforcement across a whole community to improve
outcomes for their patients. However, interoperable data systems are needed if the care
coordinator is to effectively track whether a member received the medical and non-medical
services they needed after an M1 Hold, hospital discharge, an opioid overdose, a visit to the
emergency room, or other events.
Julota’s platform uses cloud computing technology to offer software as a service, or SaaS, to
communities to help them connect better and make their systems interoperable. We are
committed to working with you to make sure you get what you need from this solution. It opens
up opportunities for your community to work together more efficiently.
We listen carefully to the needs of our clients and work collaboratively with them to solve
problems and maximize the use of this tool. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you and
your staff to use the platform while maintaining the highest data security standards and privacy.
At Julota, we are proud of the interoperability platform we have developed to store an
organization’s data in the cloud. Keeping the community connected through this software as a
service means organizations can save money and work more efficiently together to safeguard the
public.
Julota shall facilitate the city to establish a citywide functional, cloud-based tracking software that
centralizes the storage of all patient data into a single data repository that supports multiple data
sources, user access and makes available for aggregation, searchability, and ad hoc reporting.

We are excited to join with Denton PD in their commitment toward improved outcomes and
healthier citizens through the Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) initiative. Through
innovative procedures and best-in-class practices, CIRT programs have proven to strengthen
community relationships, improve outcomes, reduce crime, and mitigate burdens on the criminal
justice system. Thank you for considering Julota as the platform to launch this initiative. This
document will provide our understanding of your program goals while outlining the scope and
pricing necessary to meet them.
Denton Police Department’s Crisis InterventionResponse Team
Our Understanding
The US Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics shows >50% of incarcerated persons
have a mental behavioral health illness. Matt Zavadsky, President of NAEMT shares that 80% of all
individuals who overuse the 911 emergency system have at least one diagnosable behavioral
health disorder. We also understand 55% of US Healthcare dollars are spent on less than 5% of the
population who are improperly using community resources. First responders are a community’s

Overview
This proposal includes our Julota platform to support the CIRT and HOT programs. These
programs effort to mitigate arrests and incarcerations by diverting clients to appropriate resources
while increasing access to assistance and housing the homeless. We will be eliminating phone
referrals while introducing accountability and closing the feedback loop. This includes: integrating
with other data sources, enabling community resources to share information around clients, case
management, data population of longitudinal records, and utilization of alerts and notifications.

This solution is set up to be turn-key. Once you have signed a contract with us we will identify with
each hub’s specific reporting needs and other software systems that are mission-critical to
integrate prior to launch. Additionally, we will outline any full-level integrations necessary along
with their associated costs. We will deliver a training environment that will mirror production, with
a changeover to full production when ready.
I’ve included Julota Basic Support Service which includes access to the help desk, phone support
M-F, 9 am - 5 pm MST for basic questions around platform use, three (3) hours per month per hub
ongoing access to the individual who worked with each hub as their Implementation Specialist.
Critical severity response will be within four (4) hours.
I’ve also included a Julota Project Manager (PM) Consultant who will understand your immediate
and long-term program goals, phased roll-out timelines, interfaces needed, and customization
work necessary to ensure these pieces fit together and roll out seamlessly. The PM will direct the
Julota Implementation specialist on priorities as the PM will be aligned with your priorities.
I did not include Julota’s white-glove Elite Support which includes a dedicated representative and
phone line for each participating hub, help desk access, and 24-hour phone support for anyone
within the hub’s coverage area. For each participating hub Julota will add up to ten (10)
community partners per year, four (4) hours of one-on-one training per month, one group training
of up to two (2) hours. This level of support is highly recommended for programs who believe they
will either add additional programs, enlarge their teams, will be highly involved within their
community, or plan on growing their list of community partners throughout the year. Critical
severity response will be within one (1) hour.

The county gave us six months to develop the MIH program. Like most EMS,
our data systems were incident-based, but with MIH we needed to keep track
of who we saw, how many times and what we saw them for. We also needed to
be able to share that information. Julota has worked hard to create a data-
sharing program that works for us. They have created bridges with other
software vendors that serve different parts of the healthcare system. One
software that is focused on hospital emergency visits and Julota receives data
from that source, so we are alerted to when one of the patients we serve has
gone to the emergency room. Another software collects data for 911/EMS, and
Julota gets data from that source. It also integrates EHR data from hospitals.

Testimonials
We run a co-responder program called PACT (Pitkin Area Co-responder Teams)
pairing mental health clinicians with police to prevent unnecessary criminal
justice involvement for low-level offenders with behavioral health symptoms or
diagnoses. Since we are rural, we must coordinate services over a large
geographical area, and we work with three different law jurisdictions. Julota
has provided a central platform by which to collect vital data and statistics
about the efficacy of our program. Julota is highly customizable, so we were
able to tailor workflows to the specific needs of our partners, and consequently,
there is no aversion to using it. The Julota staff have been very responsive and
patient with our development process and change requests, and while we
currently use the platform mostly to track law data, our mental health
clinicians will soon be entering their information into it, as Julota is a HIPAA
and 42CFR compliant technology. We look forward to exploring the potential
of this platform in the coming years!

terminates the Standard Contract Document and Standard
Contract General Conditions, or this SOW or a Service Order
without cause, City shall pay any unpaid fees through the date
of termination and shall pay any unpaid fees covering the
remainder of the term of all SOWs, if the Standard Contract
Document and Standard Contract General Conditions are
terminated, the Service Orders if the SOW is terminated, or

terminated. Upon the effective date of termination of this SOW
for any reason, City’s access to the Services will terminate and
City shall cease accessing and using the Services
immediately and Contractor shall cease use immediately of
any Marks. With the exception of Statistical Data, upon
termination of this Agreement, Contractor will export all

Customer. Sections 3.2, 4, 5, 6, 8 through 16 and 18 of the

Conditions or this SOW shall survive termination for any
reason.

body any of the Confidential Information, except as a
necessary part of performing its obligations hereunder, and

appropriate to preserve and protect the Confidential
Information and the Parties’ respective rights therein, at all
times exercising at least a reasonable level of care. Each
Party agrees to restrict access to the Confidential Information
of the other Party to those employees or agents who require
access in order to perform their obligations under this SOW
and who agreed to be bound by these obligations of
confidentiality and non-disclosure. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this SOW, upon termination of this SOW
for any reason, and at the request of the disclosing Party, the
receiving Party shall promptly return or destroy (at the
disclosing party’s option), all copies of the other Party’s
Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each

subcontractors performing any services hereunder to
maintain) at its sole cost and expense at least the following
insurance covering its obligations under this SOW:
16.1 Commercial General Liability. With coverage of not
less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence

confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; three days after

agree to work in good faith to resolve disputes and claims
arising out of this Agreement. To this end, each Party may
request that the other Party designate an officer or other
management employee with authority to bind such Party to
meet to resolve the dispute or claim. If the dispute is not
resolved within 30 days of the commencement of informal
efforts under this paragraph, either Party may pursue formal
legal action. This paragraph will not apply if expiration of the
applicable time for bringing an action is imminent and will not
prohibit a Party from pursuing injunctive or other equitable
relief to which it may be entitled.
17.3 Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its
rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, without the prior written consent of Contractor (not
to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either Party may assign this SOW in its entirety (including all
SOWs), without consent of the other Party, in connection with
a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all
or substantially all of its assets, provided that, in the case of
City, the assignment is not to a direct competitor of Contractor.
In the event that either Party assigns its rights or obligations
hereunder, in violation of this Section, either Party may at its
election, terminate this SOW, provided it does so within sixty
(60) days of the date that written notice of the assignment is
provided to the non-assigning Party. Subject to the foregoing,
this SOW shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
17.4 Entire Agreement. The Contract (City Contract
#7805) (“Contract”) and the exhibits to the Contract, which
include this SOW and its addenda and appendices,
constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its
subject matter. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any
provision of the foregoing referenced documents shall be
effective unless in writing and either signed or accepted
electronically by the Party against whom the modification,
amendment or waiver is to be asserted.
17.5 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be in default if its
failure to perform any obligation under this SOW is caused
solely by supervening conditions beyond that Party’s
reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of God,
civil commotion, war, strikes, pandemic, labor disputes, third
party Internet service interruptions or slowdowns, vandalism
or “hacker” attacks, acts of terrorism or governmental
demands or requirements.
17.6 No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. This SOW is not
intended to and shall not be construed to give any third party
any interest or rights (including, without limitation, any third
party beneficiary rights) with respect to or in connection with

any agreement or provision contained herein or contemplated
hereby.
17.7 Headings. The headings of the sections of this SOW
are for reference only and shall not modify, define or limit any
of the terms or provisions of this SOW.
17.8 Severability. If any provision of this SOW shall be held
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be
enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect
the intent of the parties and the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.
17.9 Construction. This SOW has been negotiated by the
Parties and will be fairly interpreted in accordance with its
terms and without any strict construction in favor or against
any Party.
17.10 Counterparts and Signatures. This SOW and any
Service Orders, exhibits, addenda and amendments may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and which shall together constitute one instrument.
Each Party may execute this SOW and any Service Orders,
exhibits, addenda or amendment hereto in the form of an
electronic record utilizing electronic signatures, as such terms
are defined in the Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.). City and its
affiliates will not dispute the validity or authenticity of electronic
signatures submitted to Contractor by City or its affiliates, nor
will City or its affiliates dispute the legal authority, validity or
authenticity of those who sign with such electronic signatures
to bind City and its affiliates. Electronic signatures by City and
its affiliates, as well as signatures by either Party transmitted
by facsimile or electronically via PDF or similar file delivery
method, shall have the same effect as an original signature.
17.11 Federal Government End Use Provisions. If City is
a U.S. federal government end user, the Services are a
“Commercial Item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101,
consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and
“Commercial Computer Software Documentation”, as those
terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202.
Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1
through 227.7202-4, as applicable, these Services are
licensed to City with only those rights as provided under the
terms and conditions of this SOW.

authorized representative with effect from the Effective Date.

D. Service Changes:
Contractor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make any changes to the Services that it deems necessary or useful to:

or market for Contractor’s services, or (iii) the cost efficiency or performance of the Services; or
2. to comply with applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will such Contractor initiated changes result in increased cost to City during the term of

the purpose of bug fixes and minor improvements.
During the term of this Service Order, Contractor shall provide to City at no additional charge the following:

the City’s use of the Services; and
3. the Documentation associated with any changes.
Without limiting the foregoing, City may, at any time during the Term, request in writing changes to the Services. The Parties shall
evaluate the requested changes and, if agreed, implement all such requested changes in accordance with a mutually-agreed
change order. No requested changes will be effective unless and until memorialized in a written change order signed by both
Parties.
E. Subcontractors:
Contractor may from time to time in its discretion engage third parties to perform Services (each, a “Subcontractor”)

less than twelve (12) months, then the average will be based on those months that Services were provided. If
this is the first term for the provision of Services, Contractor and City will agree upon an estimated number to
be used as the Annualized Monthly Clients, which will be reflected in the schedule for Fees in Appendix 1 of
this Service Order.

3. Technical support will be limited to the permissions of the Authorized User, which will be determined by the City
Representative pursuant to the “Protocol Authorization Form,” a sample of which is attached as “Annex A” in blank
format. The permissions will be defined in the Protocol Authorization Form. The Protocol Authorization Form will
set forth the Authorized User’s permissions granted to him or her.
4. At the time that the Authorized User contacts the Support Desk, the Authorized Users permissions will be verified
in order to determine the scope of support that may be granted. If an Authorized User does not have sufficient
permissions (e.g., they are attempting to report an issue for an area that they do not have the authority to access,
the event will be deemed unreported).
C. Severity Levels and Response Times. The following are a description of the service levels and the service level
response times:
1. Critical. An incident with a severity level of “Critical” is defined as one that produces an emergency situation (e.g.,
system down) in which the Services are substantially or completely non-functional or inoperable. In the event of a
Critical incident, the Authorized User shall contact the Support Desk to report the problem. If the reported event is
Critical and outside of User Support Hours, the Authorized User shall contact the Support Desk via the Support
Email, which is monitored 24x7x365, excluding State and Federal holidays. The Support Desk will contact the
Authorized User, who reported the incident within four (4) hours to diagnose and begin remediation of the event,
and will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the event as soon as is reasonably possible under the
circumstances. Any Authorized User may contact the support desk to report a Critical incident, even if the issue in
question relates to a portion of Contractor that is not under the purview of the Authorized User’s permissions. In
this case, the Support Desk will take the report of the issue, but will not contact the reporting user with resolution,
but instead, will contact the City Representative to report resolution.
2. High. An incident with a severity level of “High” is defined as one that produces a detrimental situation in which
the Services are usable, but materially incomplete; performance (response time) of the Services is degraded
substantially such that there is a severe impact on use under reasonable loads; one or more mainline functions or
commands is inoperable; or the use is otherwise significantly impacted. If the reported event is a High severity,
the Support Desk will contact the Authorized User who reported the event within eight (8) User Support Hours to
diagnose and begin remediation of the event, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the event
with five (5) business days. Any authorized user may contact the support desk to report any issue, even if the
issue in question relates to a portion of Contractor that is not under the purview of the authorized user’s
permissions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Authorized User that reported the event is not under the
purview of the Authorized User’s permissions, the Support Desk will take the report of the issue, but will not
contact the reporting user with resolution, but instead, will contact the City Representative to report resolution.
3. Low. An incident with severity level of “Low” is defined as one that produces an inconvenient situation in which
the Services are usable but do not provide a function in the most convenient or expeditious manner and the
Authorized User suffers little or no significant impact. If the reported event is Low severity, Contractor will attempt
to resolve the event in a commercially reasonable manner in future maintenance releases. Only the Authorized
User may contact the support desk to report the issue.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
