5.3 
The Artist shall be required to inspect the Site prior to the transportation and installation of

5.4 
The Artist is responsible for timely installation of the Artwork. Artist may not install the 
Artwork until authorized to do so by the City. 
 
6. TITLE TO WORK; REMOVAL OR RELOCATION; WARRANTIES BY ARTIST.   
 
6.1 
Title to the Artwork and all work created by Artist’s Services under this Agreement will 
become property of the City upon the Artist’s receipt of the final payment under this 
Agreement. The City shall have the right to reproduce the Artwork as provided in this 
Agreement and outlined in Section 7. 
 
6.2 
Notwithstanding any provision of law, including but not limited to VARA, the parties agree 
that removal, destruction, or relocation of the Artwork may occur in accordance with the 
City’s “Guidelines for Review and Disposition of Art.” Circumstances may arise that would 
make it prudent or desirable for the City to remove the Artwork from public display. The 
Parties hereby acknowledge that (i) the Artwork when installed shall be incorporated within 
and made a part of the Project in such a way that removing the Artwork from the Project, or 
destruction or modification of the Project, may cause the destruction, distortion, mutilation, 
or other modification of the Artwork; and (ii) the Artwork shall be the property of the City.

5 
 
 
The City agrees that it will not consent to intentional alteration, modification, change, 
destruction of or damage to the Artwork without consulting the Artist; provided, however, 
that notwithstanding the foregoing and the rights of integrity conferred by 17 U.S.C Section 
106(A)(a) and any other similar rights granted by federal or state law the City shall have the 
right, consistent with its ownership of the Artwork, to alter, modify, change, or destroy the 
Artwork after reasonable consultation with the Artist. "Alteration" of the Artwork includes, 
but is not limited to, a change in the interrelationship or relative locations of parts of the Work. 
 
In the event of any alteration or damage, whether intentional, accidental, within or without the 
control of the City or otherwise, the Artist shall have the right to disclaim authorship of the 
Artwork; and upon written request of the Artist to the City shall remove the identification 
plaque at its expense. The Artist may take such other action as he may choose in order to 
disavow the Artwork. Because the Artwork is site specific, any alteration or removal without 
the Artist's permission will effectively destroy the Artwork. 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent practicable, the Artist shall have the 
opportunity to comment on all repairs to and restorations of the Artwork made during the 
Artist’s lifetime. The City will give written notice to the Artist prior to undertaking repairs or 
restoration of the Artwork, and the Artist shall have thirty (30) days from the date that the 
notice is sent by the City to advise the City, as specified in the notice, of the Artist’s wish to 
so comment. Notice will only be sent by the City to the address provided by the Artist, in 
keeping with the Communications provision of this Agreement in Section 16. Artist 
understands that the City’s repairs and restoration of the Artwork will be limited and 
determined in significant part by funding decisions of the City, in which decisions Artist shall 
have no say or control. If Artist is not available to comment on repairs or restoration, the City 
agrees that any repairs and restorations will reasonably retain the Artist’s conceptual intent.  
 
6.3 
Warranties of Title: The Artist represents and warrants that: 
 
A. 
The Artwork is and will be the original product of Artist’s own creative efforts, is a

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  In the event of a dispute concerning this Agreement, the parties will 
meet in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute. Both parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial 
which they may otherwise have in the event of litigation arising out of this Agreement or the subject 
matter thereof and consent to a trial to the court. 
 
18. RIGHT OF TERMINATION.   
 
18.1 
The City and the Artist hereby agree to the full performance of the covenants contained herein, 
except the City reserves the right, at its discretion, to terminate or abandon all or any part of 
the Artist’s Services and/or Artwork at any time. 
 
18.2 
In the event the City shall terminate or abandon the service or any part of the services as herein 
provided, the City shall notify the Artist in writing, and immediately after receiving such notice, 
the Artist shall discontinue advancing work under this Agreement and proceed to close said 
operations under the Agreement. The Artist shall appraise the services completed prior to

12 
 
notification of termination and submit an appraisal to the City for evaluation. The City shall 
have the right to inspect the Artist's work to appraise the services completed. The City will 
not pay more than the corresponding progress payment set forth above for the percentage of 
work completed to that point in time for the corresponding progress payment. The Artist shall 
deliver to the City all Artwork-related work, including copies of photographs, drawings, 
concepts, plans, reports, calculations, writing and computer disks, created and prepared by the 
Artist specifically for this Artwork together with all unused materials supplied to the Artist by 
the City or from funds paid by the City. 
 
18.3 
In the event of such termination or abandonment, the Artist shall be paid for services 
performed and materials ordered or purchased, prior to receipt of said notice of termination. 
The City shall make final payment within thirty (30) days after the Artist has delivered the last 
of the completed and/or partially completed items, all Artwork-related materials and a final 
invoice for the final fee that has been agreed upon by both parties. 
 
18.4 
In the event this Agreement is terminated or abandoned, the City may make use of the 
completed or partially completed work for this Artwork for the uses for which it was intended. 
Any use of incomplete work for this Artwork by the City following termination without 
specific written authorization by the Artist will be without responsibility or liability to the 
Artist. 
 
18.5 
In the event this Agreement is terminated, the City shall have the option of completing the 
Artwork or entering into an Agreement with another party for the completion of the work. 
 
18.6 
In the event of death or incapacity of Artist this Agreement shall automatically terminate. 
Neither the Artist nor the estate of Artist shall have any further right to perform hereunder 
and shall cede control of the Artwork. The City will pay the Artist or the estate of Artist the 
compensation payable for any Artist’s Services rendered prior to such termination not 
heretofore paid, reduced by the amount of additional costs which will be incurred by the City 
by reason of such termination. 
 
18.7 
The Artist shall have the right to cancel the Agreement within thirty (30) days after notice in 
writing to the City for non-payment. 
 
18.8 
This Agreement may be canceled pursuant to the provisions of ARS 38-511.

representation has been made by any of the parties. This Agreement may not be amended, 
changed, modified or rescinded except in writing signed by all parties hereto and any attempt 
at oral modification of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect. 
 
19.2 
The waiver by any party of a breach or violation of any term of this Agreement by the other 
party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 
19.3 
If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to 
any person, party, or circumstance, shall to any extent be held by a court of competent

13 
 
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, covenants, 
conditions or provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, party, or 
circumstance, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or 
invalidated thereby.

that they are not currently engaged in, and agree for the duration of the Agreement to not 
engage in, a boycott of goods or services from Israel, as that term is defined in A.R.S § 35-
393.
