SUBRECIPIENT is prohibited from discriminating against beneficiaries in providing services or carrying out
activities with such assistance based on religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refUsal
to attend or participate in a religious practice, while also noting that organizations that participate in programs

cornmodate beneficiaries who choose to expend the indirect aid on those organizations’ programs.

that are offered by the organization, and any participation by the beneficiary in such activities must be purely
voluntary;
3 . The organization must separate, in time or location, any privately funded explicitly religious activities hom
activities supported by direct Federal financial assistance;
4. If a beneficiary objects to the religious character of the organization, the organization must undertake rea-
sonable efforts to identify and refer the beneficiary to an alternative provider to which the beneficiary has no
such objection; and

any denials of services or benefits by an organization; by contacting or filing a written complaint to HUD or
the intermediary administering the program, if applicable.
6. Faith-based organizations must provide this notice to prospective beneficiaries prior to enrollment. In the
event of an emergency or exigent circumstances that make it impracticable to provide the written notice in
advance, prospective beneficiaries may receive the notice at the earliest available opportunity. Current ben-
eficiaries must receive the notice at the earliest available opportunity.
7. Faith-based organizations that carry out a program or activity with direct Federal financial assistance from
HUD are to promptly undertake reasonable efforts to identify an alternative provider if a beneficiary or pro-
spective beneficiary objects to the religious character of the organization, and to refer the beneficiary or
A.

such objection.

one or more instances upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement constitute or be construed in any way to
be a waiver by CITY of any breach of covenant or default which may then or subsequently be committed by
SUBRECIPIENT. Neither shall such payment, act, or omission in any manner impair or prejudice any right,
power, privilege, or remedy available to CITY to enforce its rights hereunder, which rights, powers, privileges,
or remedies are always specifically preserved. No representative or agent of CITY may waive the effect of this

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 thoroughly7
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 format7
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.
How to contact City of Denton:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically,
to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to
receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows:

address. We do not require any other information from you to change your email address..
In addition, you must notify DocuSign, Inc to arrange for your new email address to be reflected
in your DocuSign account by following the process for changing e-mail in DocuSign.
To request paper copies from City of Denton
To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided
by us to you electronically, you must send us an e-mail to purchasing@cityofdenton.com and in
the body of such request you must state your e-mail address, full name, US Postal address, and
telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.

page, select the check-box indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;
