Common use of Coding Standards Clause in Contracts

Coding Standards. If Contractor or a Contractor Solution Partner will be performing development, programming or other coding services under a Services Order and the Deliverables thereunder will be owned exclusively by State (pursuant to Section 12 below), Contractor or the applicable Contractor Solution Partner shall, with respect to such Services Order, be responsible for such specific coding and naming standards and conventions as may be provided by State in connection with certain of its and/or its third- party licensors’ requirements, as well as such quality performance and productivity provisions and documentation requirements, if any, set forth in the applicable Services Order. Contractor shall, in addition, be responsible for imposing the applicable quality assurance requirements on Contractor Personnel. State shall have the right to conduct quality audits and to perform or witness inspections or tests of the Deliverables furnished hereunder at Contractor’s facility, at sole cost of State, at any time during development and prior to delivery. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, State for itself, and on behalf of the other State Entities, acknowledges and agrees that the Solution shall not constitute “works made for hire”, and shall remain the exclusive property of Contractor.
