RIGHT TO KNOW LAW a. The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-3104, (“RTKL”) applies to this Contract. b. If the University needs the Contractor’s assistance in any matter arising out of the RTKL related to this Contract, it shall notify the Contractor using the legal contact information provided in this Contract. The Contractor, at any time, may designate a different contact for such purpose upon reasonable prior written notice to the University. c. Upon written notification from the University that it requires the Contractor’s assistance in responding to a request under the RTKL for information related to this Contract that may be in the Contractor’s possession, constituting, or alleged to constitute, a public record in accordance with the RTKL (“Requested Information”), the Contractor shall: 1) Provide the University, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notification, access to, and copies of, any document or information in the Contractor’s possession arising out of this Contract that the University reasonably believes is Requested Information and may be a public record under the RTKL; and 2) Provide such other assistance as the University may reasonably request, in order to comply with the RTKL with respect to this Contract. d. If the Contractor considers the Requested Information to include a request for a Trade Secret or Confidential Proprietary Information, as those terms are defined by the RTKL, or other information that the Contractor considers exempt from production under the RTKL, the Contractor must notify the University and provide, within seven (7) days of receiving the written notification, a written statement signed by a representative of the Contractor explaining why the requested material is exempt from public disclosure under the RTKL. e. The University will rely upon the written statement from the Contractor in denying a RTKL request for the Requested Information unless the University determines that the Requested Information is clearly not protected from disclosure under the RTKL in which case the Contractor shall provide the Requested Information within five (5) days of receipt of written notification of the University’s determination. f. If the Contractor fails to provide the Requested Information within the time period required by these provisions, the Contractor shall indemnify and hold the University harmless for any damages, penalties, costs, detriment or harm that the University may incur as a result of the Contractor’s failure, including any statutory damages assessed against the University. g. The University will reimburse the Contractor for any costs associated with complying with these provisions only to the extent allowed under the fee schedule established by University, or if none, by the Office of Open Records or as otherwise provided by the RTKL if a fee schedule is inapplicable. h. The Contractor may file a legal challenge to any University decision to release a record to the public with the Office of Open Records, or in an appropriate Pennsylvania Court; however, the Contractor shall indemnify the University for any legal expenses incurred as a result of such a challenge and shall hold the University harmless for any damages, penalties, costs, detriment or harm that the University may incur as a result of the Contractor’s failure, including any statutory damages assessed against the University, regardless of the outcome of such legal challenge. As between the parties, the Contractor agrees to waive all rights or remedies that may be available to it as a result of the University’s disclosure of Requested Information pursuant to the RTKL.
