Misconduct Unless a Change of Control shall have occurred after the date hereof:
Negligence We will only be liable for the proportion to which the loss or damage to the Goods is caused by or contributed to by Our negligence (including the negligence of any Subcontractor, but excluding the negligence of any Third Party Provider), and in any event that liability will be limited to $100 per item or package, or $1,000 in respect of all Goods moved or stored under this agreement (whichever is the lesser).
Serious Misconduct In the case of serious misconduct, or for disqualifying crimes as defined in statutes applied to the licensed provision of home care services, each Employer may in its sole discretion, for reasonable cause, bypass any one or all of the steps of progressive discipline. In the case of any form of discipline less than termination, the employee’s disciplinary action shall include a description of the conduct that is the basis for the disciplinary action(s). Each Employer will strive to identify specific corrective action(s) that the employee is expected to take to improve his/her performance.

Responsibility For Damages Or Injury The County its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and those special districts and agencies which County’s Board of Supervisors acts as the governing Board (“County Indemnitees”) shall not be answerable or accountable in any manner: for any loss or damage that may happen to the Project or any part thereof; for any loss or damage to any of the materials or other things used or employed in performing the Project; for injury to or death of any person either workers or the public; or for damage to property from any cause which might have been prevented by the Contractor, or his workers, or anyone employed by him. The Contractor shall be responsible for any liability imposed by law and for injuries to or death of any person or damage to property resulting from defects or obstructions or from any cause whatsoever during the progress of the Project or at any time before its completion and final acceptance. The Contractor shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved in writing by County and save harmless the County Indemnitees from all claims, suits or actions of every name, kind and description, brought for, or on account of, injuries to or death of any person or damage to property resulting from the construction of the Project or by or in consequence of any negligence in guarding the Project; use of improper materials in construction of the Project; or by or on account of any act or omission by the Contractor or his agents during the progress of the Work or at any time before the completion and final acceptance of the Project. In addition to any remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of the Contract as shall be considered necessary by the County may be retained by it until disposition has been made of such suits or claims for damages as aforesaid. If judgment is entered against Contractor and County by a court of competent jurisdiction because of the concurrent active negligence of County and County Indemnitees, Contractor and County agree that liability will be apportioned as determined by the court. Neither Party shall request a jury apportionment. Notwithstanding anything stated above, nothing contained herein shall relieve Contractor of any insurance requirements of obligations created elsewhere in this Contract.
