EXHIBIT 1

separate and apart from its use of the Website,the Local Government shall be solely responsible
for any and all costs associated with the placement of any advertisements or notices that the
Local Government is required,or chooses,to publish in a print publication and for any
advertisements or notices that the Local Government provides by mail or email pursuant to
section 50.0311(6)or any other applicable law,rule,or regulation.If the Local Government fails

access to the Website,and the County shall have no liability to the Local Government for such
termination or lack of access due to non-payment.
12.Costs.The annual necessary software,maintenance,and support costs for each Local
Government are estimated to be $707 per Local Government agent or employee user.This figure
represents an approximate estimate of the anticipated recurring annual costs,which may vary
from year-to-year,and nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the County from charging the
Local Government the actual costs associated with its use of the Website in a given year,as
provided in paragraph 11.In addition,such costs may be subject to annual increases at the
County's discretion,and the Parties agree that the estimated annual cost figure set forth in this
paragraph shall be adjusted and deemed amended herein accordingly.
13.Reimbursable Expenses.The Local Government will not be reimbursed for expenses it
bears unless expressly provided for in this Agreement.

of the County's current,past,and future officers,agents,and employees (collectively,
"Indemnified Parties")from and against any and all causes of action,demands,claims,losses,
liabilities,and expenditures of any kind,including attorneys'fees,court costs,and expenses,
including through the conclusion of any appellate proceedings,raised or asserted by any person
or entity not a party to this Agreement,and (i)relating to the Local Government's use of the
Website or the Local Government's advertisements or notices published on the Website,or (ii)
caused or alleged to be caused,in whole or in part,by any breach of this Agreement by the Local
Government,or (iii)any intentional,reckless,or negligent act or omission of the Local
Government,its officers,employees,or agents,arising from,relating to,or in connection with
this Agreement or the Local Government's use of the Website.The Local Government further
agrees and acknowledges that,from time to time,issues relating to,for example,technological
glitches or failures,hardware or software malfunction,connectivity,and loss of power may arise
and that such issues may impact the ability of the Local Government to use the Website to publish
advertisements and notices.The Local Government agrees and acknowledges that the County
shall not be liable for any such issues,and further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all causes of action,demands,claims,losses,

or entity relating to such issues.The obligations of this section shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement.
16.Termination.Either Party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon at least 90
days'prior written notice to the other Party.This Agreement may also be terminated for cause
by the aggrieved Party if the Party in breach has not corrected the breach within 30 days after
receipt written or electronic notice of from the aggrieved Party identifying the breach.In
addition,if the publication of advertisements and notices on the Website is determined to be
illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction,or if the Florida Legislature modifies Florida law to
prohibit utilization of the County's designated publicly accessible website for publication of such
advertisements and notices,this Agreement will be deemed automatically terminated upon such
finding becoming final or such law becoming effective,as applicable.
17.Public Records.The Parties acknowledge and agree that as political subdivisions of the
State of Florida,both Parties are subject to Florida's Public Records Law,Chapter 119 of the
Florida Statutes.Nevertheless,the County is not the custodian of the Local Government's records
and the Local Government acknowledges and agrees that the County does not assume
responsibility for handling or responding to any public records requests submitted to the Local
Government.Each Local Government shall be responsible for maintaining,in accordance with
the requirements of Florida law and retention schedules,all records associated with its own legal
advertisements and notices posted on the Website and for fulfilling public records requests
relating to such legal advertisements and notices.In the event that any confidential records or
materials are exchanged,the Parties shall endeavor to treat the other Party's confidential
information as it would treat its own confidential information of a similar nature.In the event
that third party records are exchanged,the Parties mutually agree to inform the other Party of
any requirements or potential confidential nature of such records.The parties'compliance with,
or good faith attempt to comply with,the requirements of Chapter 119 of Florida Statute shall
not be considered breach of this Agreement.
18.Notices.Unless expressly provided otherwise in another section of this Agreement,for
any notice to a Party to be effective under this Agreement,such notice must be sent via U.S.first-
class mail,with a copy sent contemporaneously via email,to the addresses listed below.Such
notice shall be effective upon mailing.A Party may at any time provide written notice to the other
Party designating a new address for receipt of future notices.Any such notice of a newly
designated address shall be kept with,and deemed a part of,this Agreement.
