6. Delivery of Documents. Marquette may discontinue furnishing or making available access to
Confidential Information at any time in the sole discretion of Marquette. Upon demand by Marquette,
Consultant shall promptly deliver to Marquette all Confidential Information and all correspondence, designs,
sketches, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, computer diskettes, computer or voice tapes, notebooks, reports or
any other documents or media embodying or concerning the Confidential Information that came into
Consultant’s possession, by any means whatsoever, during the term of and performance of the Services.
7. Insurance. If the amount paid to Consultant under this Agreement is in excess of $2,000,
Consultant shall maintain the following insurance policies from insurers licensed to do business in the State of
Wisconsin: (a) commercial general liability (CGL) insurance of not less than $1,000,000/occurrence and
$2,000,000 aggregate; (b) worker compensation insurance in accordance with applicable state statutory limits;
(c) automobile insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 (including coverage for insured, uninsured, underinsured,
owned and non-owned vehicles). Certificates of insurance shall be provided upon request of Marquette. Where
liability insurance is required, Marquette shall have no duty to pay any invoice until proof of liability insurance
with appropriate minimum limits is provided to Marquette by Consultant.
To the extent that Consultant is an individual person or sole proprietorship and that Consultant has no
employees except for the individual performing the services, the preceding insurance provision shall not apply,
but the following language shall apply. Marquette and Consultant are independent contractors. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be understood or construed to create or imply any relationship between Marquette and
Consultant in the nature of any joint venture, employer/employee, principal/agent, or partnership. Neither
Marquette nor Consultant shall have the authority to, nor shall either attempt to, assume any obligation by or on
behalf of the other. Consultant shall in no way become an employee of Marquette by performing services under
this Agreement and is not eligible for worker compensation benefits from Marquette. Therefore, Consultant
agrees and understands that, as an independent contractor, Consultant may be required by applicable law to
provide Consultant’s own Worker Compensation insurance coverage. See, e.g., § 102.04(1)(b)2, Wis.Stats.
Consultant or Consultant’s worker compensation insurer shall be responsible for health and medical bills for
sickness and injury, including sickness or injury that may be suffered by Consultant while working on or
arising from activities covered by this Agreement. Consultant also understands the need to purchase, and has
considered the purchase of, individual health insurance and benefit coverage as may be applicable to
Consultant’s needs, apart from worker compensation insurance coverage. In addition, Consultant understands
and agrees that financial responsibility for Consultant’s legal liability arising from Consultant’s actions and
activities shall rest with Consultant. Therefore, Consultant should effect and maintain any insurance coverage,
including but not limited to General Business and Automobile Liability policies, necessary to assure
Consultant’s financial obligations and legal liability. Personal liability coverage afforded by standard
Homeowners/Rental Owners and Automobile policies may meet this obligation if endorsed for business use.
Consultant should obtain whatever review by Consultant’s insurer or agent of Consultant’s insurance needs as
Consultant deems necessary to assure that adequate insurance coverage and protection has been obtained by
Consultant.
8. Relationship. The parties hereto are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
understood or construed to create or imply any relationship between the parties in the nature of any joint
venture, employer/employee, principal/agent or partnership. Consultant shall in no way become an employee of
Marquette. Neither party is authorized to nor shall any party represent itself as, the agent, representative, partner
or joint venturer of the other party unless agreed upon by both parties in specified circumstances. Consultant
shall make clear to all third-parties that Consultant is an independent contractor and consultant to Marquette and
that Consultant is not an employee or official of Marquette. Neither party shall have the authority to nor shall
either party attempt to assume any obligation by or on behalf of the other party.
9. Expenses. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, all expenses incurred
