Bill Printing and Mailing
Service Schedule
This Bill Printing and Mailing Service Schedule (the "BP&M Service Schedule" or
"Agreement") is entered into by and between Arista Information Systems, Inc. ("Arista") and
the City of Winter Springs (Customer). Arista and Customer are each a "Party" and jointly the
"Parties". Arista and Customer agree that, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including its Appendices A, B, C, and, if applicable, D, all of which are hereby incorporated
into and made a part of this Agreement by reference as fully as if set forth herein) and of that
certain Master Services Agreement ("MSA") executed by the Parties, Arista will provide and
Customer shall purchase the services described herein.
1. Products and Computer Services. Arista agrees to provide to Customer, and Customer
agrees to purchase from Arista, those products and services set forth in the attached Statement of
Work, designated as Appendix A. If the Parties desire to amend this Statement of Work, such
amendment shall be binding on the Parties only if a revised Statement of Work is reduced to
writing and signed by the Parties. Any additional services will be furnished by Arista subject to
availability of facilities, personnel and services available to Arista, at standard rates in effect at
the time, and in accordance with any applicable special terms agreed to in writing by the Parties.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Customer agrees that the services
described in this Agreement may, at Arista's discretion, be provided either directly by Arista or
through subcontractors or other third parties. Customer agrees to recognize and cooperate with
such third parties in facilitating the performance of Arista's obligations hereunder.
2. Completion Times. Arista will furnish and mail the completed product as described in
Appendix A and provide any other products and computer services pursuant to the Delivery and
Time Schedules set forth in Appendix B. In no event shall Arista be liable for any delay in the
performance or delivery of any service or product due to failure by Customer to timely provide
information, data and any other items as are reasonably required by Arista to perform its
obligations; provided, however, that if Customer fails to provide correct and complete data in
accordance with mutually agreed time schedules, Arista will promptly request the additional data
and, after Arista has received such information, data or other items, (a) Arista shall reschedule
and process Customer's work within the time limits provided in Appendix B, and (b) Customer
agrees that the time schedules shall be extended as necessary for this purpose. Data will be
deemed to have been timely submitted by Customer if received by Arista on or before the times
set forth in Appendix B.
3. Term. This BP&M Service Schedule shall be effective on the latest date of acceptance
and signing of the Agreement by either Party and shall continue for twenty-four (24) months
from the date Arista first processes Customer's bills, unless terminated by the City in writing.
The City may terminate this Agreement for convenience and without penalty. Additionally, the
parties may opt to extend this Agreement for additional twelve (12) month terms by mutual
written agreement.

4. Pricing/Invoicing.
(a) The prices for products and services under this Agreement are set forth in
Appendix B.
(b) Any sales and use taxes, and any other similar taxes applicable to the production,
sale, use, storage, delivery or transportation of the products and services shall be
calculated and paid by Customer.
(c) In addition to the prices set forth in Appendix B, Customer shall pay estimated
postage costs prior to the mailing of Customer's customer invoices. Estimated postage
costs shall be equal to Customer's actual postage costs for the preceding month. If in any
given month Customer pays estimated postage in excess of the postage costs actually
attributable to Customer, Arista shall apply such excess payment to Customer's postage
costs for the subsequent month. Arista shall sort Customer's mail to obtain the most
advantageous postage rates, and shall provide Customer with an accounting of all postage
costs incurred.
(d) Shipment of products shall be F.O.B.
(e) In order to achieve volume discounts on custom form, envelopes and other
preprinted material ordered on behalf of Customer, Arista may purchase up to a 6 month
supply of these items in advance. In the event Customer terminates this contract or
requests changes to these items, Customer shall be responsible for the cost incurred by
Arista for the remaining inventories of such items.
5. Special Order Services. All services provided by Arista to Customer other than those
identified in Appendix A shall be referred to herein as special order services and shall be
provided as follows:
(a) If Customer shall desire special order services, Customer shall submit to Arista a
written request which shall, with reasonable specificity, describe the services or changes
desired by Customer. Arista and Customer shall, within a reasonable time thereafter,
evaluate the request. Based on such evaluation, Arista will prepare specifications for the
design, enhancement and implementation of the services described and specify an
estimated number of working days after Customer's acceptance in which the applications
shall be completed.
(b) If the specifications prepared by Arista are acceptable to Customer, Customer
shall indicate its acceptance in writing.
(c) Upon acceptance by Customer of the service specifications, Arista shall
commence preparation and diligently pursue development of the product in accordance
with such specifications and shall use its best efforts, consistent with changing and
