Vendor shall not, during or after the request for proposal process disclose any such City information to any person, directly or indirectly, nor use it in any way, except as required or authorized by the City. 4. City Information is not to be stored on any local workstation, laptop, or media such as CD/DVD, USB drives, external hard drives or other similar portable devices unless Vendor can ensure security for City Information so stored. 5. The agreement not to disclose City Information and City and third party software and related documentation as set forth in Sections 1 through 4 above shall apply during the term of the request for proposal process and at any time thereafter unless specifically authorized by the City in writing. 7. All files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment, software, and similar items relating to the City's business, whether or not prepared by Vendor, shall remain the exclusive property of the City and shall not be removed under any circumstances from the premises where the City's work is being carried on without the prior approval of the City.

Accordingly, Vendor agrees that the City does not have an adequate remedy at law for breach of this Agreement and therefore, the City shall be entitled, as a non exclusive remedy, and in addition to an action for damages, to seek and obtain an injunction or decree of specific performance or any other remedy, from a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin or remedy any violation of this Agreement. 11. No act of omission or commission of either the City or Vendor, including without limitation, any failure to exercise any right, remedy, or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver, release, or modification of the same.
