Service Agreement Terms and Conditions
1. This Agreement provides to User a hosted electronic filing and administration system developed and maintained by NetFile. The system permits people authorized by User to electronically file
their respective FPPC forms, take their required AB1234 Ethics training, and/or apply for a Board, Commission, or Committee. The FPPC forms that are electronically filed are dependent upon
which system(s) that User agrees to pay for. If the User agrees to pay for the Form 700 E‐Filing System, their filers will be able to create and electronically file FPPC Form 700 statements. If the
User agrees to pay for the Campaign E‐Filing System, their filers will be able to create and electronically file their Campaign Statements. If the User agrees to pay for the AB1234 Ethics Training
system, their people will be able to take their required AB1234 Ethics Training. If the User agrees to pay for the Boards, Commissions, & Committees system, the User can utilize NetFile’s
automated management system for the Users Boards, Commissions, and Committees. All systems are covered by NetFile’s unlimited support and training policy. All NetFile systems come with a
public viewing portal that automatically displays FPPC filings online in redacted form and if applicable view all the User’s Boards, Commissions, and Committees. The Form 700 E‐filing system
meets the requirements of AB 2062 for paperless filing in CA. The Campaign E‐Filing system meets the requirements of AB2452 for paperless filing in CA. The Campaign and Form 700 systems allow
for paper filed documents to be stored as an unredacted document and uploaded (when redacted by User) to view on the public portal. NetFile pays for User's initial $1,000 FPPC Form 700
application fee.
2. It is the responsibility of NetFile to securely store User data and maintain backups using industry best practices. All data created by User or User’s filers is the property of the User. All
applications and their source code are the property of NetFile. It is the responsibility of NetFile to provide secure and safe system access for both User and the User’s filers using industry best
practices. NetFile’s systems are guaranteed to have 99% uptime. Any planned maintenance of NetFile systems will be communicated at least a week in advance.
3. NetFile warrants and represents that it is the owner of or has acquired the rights to use (including derivative rights) the software, technology or otherwise that is required to provide all related
materials and services set forth in this Service Agreement, without violating any rights of any third party, and there is currently no actual or threatened suit by any such third party based on an
alleged violation of such third‐party rights by NetFile.
4. NetFile further warrants that (i) the NetFile servers will be free of any Harmful Code (as defined below), and (ii) NetFile will not interfere with or disrupt User or the User’s filers use of the
System. The term “Harmful Code” means any software code with the ability to damage, interfere with, or adversely affect computer programs, data files, or hardware without the consent or
intent of the computer user. This definition includes, but is not limited to, self‐replacing and self‐propagating programming instructions commonly called “viruses,” “Trojan horses” and
“worms.” NetFile agrees to implement reasonable procedures adequate to prevent any software, link or code provided to User hereunder from being contaminated with Harmful Code. If
NetFile learns of or suspects the existence of any Harmful Code, NetFile will immediately notify User and make every effort to remove the Harmful Code.
5. NetFile shall not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or disability in the solicitation, selection, hiring, or treatment of
subcontractors, vendors or suppliers. NetFile shall provide equal opportunity for subcontractors to participate in subcontracting opportunities. NetFile understands and agrees that violation of
this clause shall be considered a material breach of the Service Agreement and may result in Service Agreement termination.
6. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 below, NetFile agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless the User, and its employees and filers from and against any claim,
injury, liability, loss, cost, and/or expense or damage, including all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees in providing a defense to any claim, arising from NetFile’s negligent, reckless or wrongful
acts, errors, or omissions with respect to or in any way connected with the performance of the Services by NetFile, its agents, subcontractors and/or assigns under this Service Agreement.
7. The maximum liability to the User by NetFile and its licensors, if any, under this Service Agreement, or arising out of any claim by the User related to NetFile’s services, products, equipment or
software for direct damages, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to the total amount of fees received during the last 12 months by NetFile from the User hereunder up to the
time the cause of action giving rise to such liability occurred. In no event shall NetFile or its licensors be liable to the User for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages related to
the use of NetFile’s services, products, equipment or software or NetFile’s failure to perform its obligations under this agreement, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, regardless of
whether NetFile or its licensors are negligent. Provided, however, that for any peril or exposure insured against under the insurance required, the limits of liability to the User by NetFile shall not
be less than the amount of applicable, valid, and collectible insurance set forth in this Agreement.
8. During the term of this Service Agreement, NetFile shall purchase and maintain in full force and effect, at no cost to User insurance policies with respect to employees assigned to the
performance of services under this Service Agreement with coverage amounts as follows: Commercial General Liability Insurance of $2,000,000 each occurrence, $4,000,000 general aggregate,

affiliate of User, or any officer or employee of User, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, agreement or simulation thereof owned by User or
its affiliates, nor represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or service provided by NetFile has been approved or endorsed by User, nor refer to the existence of this Service Agreement in
press releases, advertising or materials distributed to prospective customers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NetFile may acknowledge, when asked, that the User is a NetFile client.
10. Either User or NetFile may terminate this Service Agreement without cause by giving the other Party written notice (“Notice of Termination”) which clearly expresses that Party’s intent to
terminate the Agreement. Notice of Termination shall become effective no less than thirty (30) calendar days after a Party receives such notice. After either Party terminates the Agreement,
NetFile shall discontinue further services as of the effective date of termination, and User shall pay NetFile for all Services satisfactorily performed up to such date. Upon termination, NetFile will
provide a copy of all data created by User within 10 working days of effective termination date.
11. User accepts any and all liability resulting from the placement of documents scanned by the User that are made available on the Internet for public viewing through the services of NetFile.
In no event does NetFile accept liability created by any document scanned into the system by the User.
12. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Agreement will commence on the start date and remain in effect throughout the Term as stated on the signature page. Upon expiration, this
Agreement will automatically renew on a quarterly or annual basis unless User provides NetFile with written notice of its intent to cancel. Any extension will be billed in the same manner as set
forth herein.
