INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The existing Elavon contract expires on 8/30/23 after 5 years of previous renewals. The contract
includes merchant credit card services for Oakland County and G2G Agencies. I.T. is requesting the
contract be extended for an additional 2 years.
Elavon is the credit card processor that provides credit card transactions between our encrypted
gateway provider, PayPal and Oakland County's technology and PCI (Payment Card Industry)
environment. Oakland County I.T. Department uses the contract to build the eCommerce system
into Oakland County applications, allowing Departments and government agencies to take
payments online with each Departments application. For example: Pay Delinquent Taxes, Vital
Records, Court Explorer, Property Gateway, Clemis, etc.
Oakland County currently uses the software from Elavon Inc. for credit card processing. The current
Contract #CON00009365 with Elavon Inc. (vendor) was executed on 05/01/2016, extended in May
09, 2022 and expires on 08/30/2023. The Departments of Information Technology and Purchasing
have negotiated a two-year extension with Elavon Inc. at a cost of $1,350,000 per year bringing the
contract "not to exceed" amount to $8,520,000 from $5,820,000. The Purchasing Terms and
Conditions in Section 2400.6 Duration of Contracts and under Procedure states "The Board of
Commissioners shall approve contracts beyond five years."

proprietary information, and that the disclosure or

or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of

directors, employees, stockholders, owners,
affiliates, agents or representatives will have any
liability to the Receiving Party or any other person
resulting from the use of any Trade Secret or
Confidential Information.

any actual or threatened breach by it of the
covenants contained in this Section 3(a)-(d) would

losses, costs, expenses and demands of any kind or nature, arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing suits,
claims, losses, demands or damages.
13(b). Elavon Responsibilities. In addition to Elavon’s obligations in Section 13(c), Elavon will be responsible for and
will at its own expense defend itself against any suits, claims, losses, demands or damages arising out of (i) Elavon’s
breach of the Agreement; (ii) Elavon’s or its third party contractors’ gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) Elavon’s
or its third party contractors’ violation of applicable Laws or Payment Network Regulations; (iv) Elavon’s alleged
infringement or other violation of a U.S. or Canada patent, copyright or trademark of a third party by the Services in the
form delivered or Company’s use thereof; or (v) any personal injury or real or tangible personal property damage to the
extent caused by Elavon or its third party contractors.
13(c). Infringement Claims.
(i) Elavon will defend Company and its employees, officers, and agents in connection with claims, actions, demands or
proceedings (made or threatened) brought by a third party, and will pay the final award of damages assessed against
Company, its employees, officers or agents in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, including
awarded costs, or any amount in settlement or compromise authorized by Elavon in writing, arising out of Elavon’s
alleged infringement or other violation of a U.S. or Canada patent, copyright or trademark of a third party by the
Services (but not Equipment) in the form delivered or Company’s use thereof (an “Infringement Claim”).
(ii) If any part of the Services or the use of the Services becomes, or in Elavon’s opinion is likely to become, the subject
of an Infringement Claim, and as a result of such Infringement Claim Company’s use of the Services may be
enjoined or interfered with, then Elavon will, at its option and expense, either, and in addition to defending
Company and paying the final amount of damages as provided for in this section, (1) obtain a license for Company
to continue using the alleged infringing component(s) of the Services; (2) modify the alleged infringing
component(s) of the Services to avoid the infringement in a manner that still permits the Services to perform in all
material respects in accordance with the Agreement; or (3) replace the alleged infringing component(s) of the
Services with compatible, functionally equivalent, and non-infringing component(s). Elavon will use commercially
reasonable efforts to accomplish the remedies identified in this section in a manner that minimizes the disruption to
Company’s business operations. If Elavon is not able to accomplish the above remedies within a commercially
reasonable time frame and on commercially reasonable terms, Elavon may terminate the Agreement upon written
notice to Company. Upon such termination, Elavon will promptly refund any fees paid for Services not performed
as of the date of termination.
(iii) Elavon will have no liability for any Infringement Claim to the extent caused by (1) access to or use of the Services
other than as specified under the Agreement and the related Documentation, (2) combination or use of the Services
with non-Elavon products or services (whether or not provided to Company by Elavon), (3) any hardware, devices,
software, services or other resources not provided by Elavon, (4) failure or refusal by Company to install,
implement or use any Update or correction provided by Elavon, (5) modification or alteration of the Services by
anyone other than Elavon without Elavon’s prior written consent, (6) Company’s goods or services, or (7) the
negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Agreement by, Company.
(iv) THIS SECTION 13(c) SETS FORTH THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF COMPANY AND THE SOLE AND
COMPLETE LIABILITY OF ELAVON WITH RESPECT TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.
13(d). Procedure.
(i) If an Infringement Claim is subject to Elavon’s obligations in Section 13(c) of the Agreement, Company will:
(1) Provide Elavon prompt notice of the Infringement Claim (provided that any delay in notification will not relieve
Elavon of its obligations under this Section 13(d) except to the extent that the delay materially impairs its ability
to fully defend the Infringement Claim);
(2) Subject to Section 13(d)(ii), give Elavon the right to exercise exclusive control over the preparation and defense
of the Infringement Claim, including appeals, negotiations and any settlement or compromise thereof, provided

14) Schedule A, Section 1.8 Title; Quiet Enjoyment is replaced as follows:
“Title; Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor will at all times retain title to the Leased Equipment. All documents of title and
evidence of delivery will be delivered to Lessor. Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, to cause the lease
or any statement or other instrument in respect to the lease showing the interest of Lessor in the Leased Equipment
including Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements, to be filed or recorded and/or refiled and rerecorded, and
grants Lessor the right to execute Lessee’s name thereto. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver any statement or instrument
requested by Lessor for such purpose, and agrees to pay or reimburse Lessor for any filing, recording or stamp fees or
taxes arising from the filing or recording of any such instrument or statement. Lessee will at its expense, protect and
defend Lessor’s title against all persons claiming against or through Lessee, at all times keep the Leased Equipment free
from legal process or encumbrance whatsoever and, will give Lessor immediate notice thereof and will be responsible for
any loss caused thereby. Lessee agrees to procure for Lessor, such estoppel certificates, landlord’s or mortgagees’ waiver
or other similar documents as Lessor may reasonably request. Provided Lessee is not in default hereunder, Lessee will
quietly use and enjoy the Leased Equipment subject to the terms hereof.”
15) Schedule A, Section 1.10 Net Lease; Taxes is replaced as follows:
“Net Lease; Taxes. Lessee intends the rental payments hereunder to be net to Lessor, and Lessee agrees to pay any
applicable sales, use, excise, personal equipment, stamp, documentary and ad valorem taxes, license and registration fees,
assessment, fines, penalties and similar charges imposed on the ownership, possession or use of the Leased Equipment
during the term of the lease. Lessee will pay all applicable taxes (except Lessor’s federal or state net income taxes) which
may be imposed on Lessor or Lessee with respect to the lease payments hereunder or the ownership of the Leased
Equipment. Lessee will pay as additional rent, any applicable taxes documented as paid or advanced by Lessor on behalf
of Lessee. Lessee agrees that the reimbursement of equipment tax calculation is based on an average tax rate. Unless
otherwise agreed to in writing, Lessee will file personal equipment tax returns with respect to the Leased Equipment.”
16) Schedule A, Section 1.11 Indemnity is replaced as follows:
“Responsibility of Lessor. As between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee will be responsible for, and at its own expense, defend
itself against any and all liability, damage or loss, arising out of the ownership, selection, possession, leasing, operation,
control, use, condition, maintenance, delivery and return of the Leased Equipment. The obligations herein provided will
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of the lease.”
17) Schedule A, Section 1.16 Remedies is replaced as follows:
“Remedies. If an Event of Default will occur, Lessor may, at its option, at any time (i) declare immediately due and
payable and recover from Lessee, as liquidated damages for the loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to
all accrued and unpaid rental payments and late charges, taxes, and other fees, plus the Loss Amount; provided, however,
that if an Event of Default will occur as described in Section 1.15(iv) through (vi) above, Lessor without any notice or
action will be deemed to have made such a declaration; (ii) automatically charge the DDA for all money amounts owed;
(iii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without demand or legal process, enter into the premises where the Leased
Equipment may be found and take possession of and remove the Leased Equipment, without liability for such retaking;
(iv) Lessor may hold, sell or otherwise dispose of any such Leased Equipment at a private or public sale; or (v) exercise
any other remedies available under applicable Law. If Lessor takes possession of the Leased Equipment, Lessor will give
Lessee credit for any sums received by Lessor from the sale or rental of the Leased Equipment after deduction of the
9 USA-GOV-USB-0821
expenses of sale or rental and Lessee will remain liable to Lessor for any deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent any software included with the Leased Equipment is nontransferable or its transfer restricted, Lessee agrees that
Lessor and/or the licensor of such software will have no duty to remarket or otherwise mitigate any damages relating to
such software.
Lessee will also be responsible for all expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement of any of Lessor’s
remedies including all expenses of repossessing, storing, shipping, repairing and selling the Leased Equipment. Lessor and
Lessee acknowledge the difficulty in establishing a value for the unexpired lease term and, owing to such difficulty, agree
that the provisions of this Section represent an agreed measure of damages and are not to be deemed a forfeiture or
penalty. All remedies of Lessor hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by Law, and
may, to the extent permitted by Law, be exercised concurrently or separately. The exercise of any one remedy will not be
deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No failure on the part of the
Lessor to exercise and no delay in exercising any right to remedy will operate as a waiver thereof or modify the terms of
the lease.”
18) Schedule A, Section 1.19 Miscellaneous is replaced as follows:
“Miscellaneous. If Lessee fails to pay any rent or other amount required herein to be paid to Lessor within five (5) days of
when due, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor, in addition to the payment, a late charge of 15% of the amount past due (but at
least $7.50) for each late payment. Each month the past due payment remains unpaid, an additional late fee in the amount
defined will be assessed. Payments are applied to late fees and service charges first and then to the lease obligation.
Amounts will be payable in addition to all amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor as a result of exercise of any of the
remedies herein provided. If Lessee requests any services not provided for herein, Lessee agrees to pay an applicable fee
for delivery of such services. Lessee will inform Lessor of any change in Lessee’s name, address, billing address,
telephone numbers, location of the Leased Equipment, or DDA. If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of the lease,
Lessor will have the right, but not be obligated, to affect such compliance on behalf of Lessee upon ten (10) days prior
written notice to Lessee. In such event, all monies expended by, and all expenses of Lessor in effecting such compliance,
will be deemed to be additional rental, and will be paid by Lessee at the time of the next monthly payment of rent. All
notices under the lease will be sufficient if given personally or mailed postage prepaid to the party intended at the
respective address set forth herein, or at such other address as said party may provide in writing from time to time. The
lease inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
Time is of the essence of the lease. Lessor and Lessee intend the lease to be a valid and subsisting legal instrument, and
agree that no provision of the lease that may be deemed unenforceable will in any way invalidate any other provision or
provisions of the lease, all of which will remain in full force and effect. The lease will be binding when accepted in writing
by Lessor and will be governed by the laws of the state where the Leased Equipment is located.”
19) Schedule A, Section 1.20 Important Information about Credit Reporting is deleted.
20) Schedule A, Section 2.6 Title; Quiet Enjoyment is replaced as follows:

Leased Equipment, including without limitation Personal Property Security Act or Civil Code of Quebec financing
statements, to be filed, registered or recorded, or refiled, reregistered and rerecorded, as applicable. Lessee waives the
right, where permitted by law, to receive a copy of any financing statement, financing change statement or verification
statement. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver any document, statement or instrument requested by Lessor for such
purpose, and agrees to reimburse Lessor for any expense arising therefrom. Lessee will at Lessee’s expense protect and
defend Lessor’s title against all persons claiming against or through Lessee, at all times keep the Leased Equipment free
from legal process or encumbrance whatsoever, and will give Lessor immediate notice thereof and will be responsible for
any loss caused thereby. Lessee agrees to procure for and deliver to Lessor, such estoppel certificates, landlord’s or
mortgagees’ waiver or other similar documents as Lessor may request. Provided Lessee is not in default hereunder, Lessee
may quietly use and enjoy the Leased Equipment subject to the terms hereof.”

itself against any and all liability, damage or loss, arising out of the ownership, selection, possession, leasing, operation,
control, use, condition, maintenance, delivery and return of the Leased Equipment. The obligations herein provided will

Oakland County, MI G2G Cloud Solutions Anticipated Remediation Process
The Payment Networks require that Elavon obtain written agreements with each merchant for whom
Elavon is providing transaction processing services (each Merchant Identification Number or MID). While it
appears that when this relationship was established such agreements may have been obtained from the
agencies as they were boarded, that is no longer the case, which needs to be addressed in order for the
parties to be in compliance with the Payment Network Regulations. The steps to address this issue for new
and existing agencies are outlined below.
To summarize, the County has established its G2G Cloud Solutions website to assist other agencies in
obtaining different services, including credit and debit card transaction processing services. The County
provides transaction processing services to the agencies at “no cost” and instead charges and manages a
service fee which is paid for by the cardholder. The service fee is disclosed at the time of the transaction as a
G2Gcharge.com, and is billed as a separate transaction to the cardholder under the G2Gcharge.com name.
The Payment Network Rules state, however, that item on the cardholder statement needs to say
“G2Gcharge.com Service Fee” which change can be made by Elavon. The cardholder will then see two
transactions – one for the Agency Name (which funds are deposited to the Agency’s designated bank account
or DDA) and the G2Gcharge.com Service Fee transaction which is deposited to the G2Gcharge.com DDA.
STEPS FOR ADDING NEW AGENCIES

2. Upon approval of the Application, Elavon will establish a MID for the Agency (and funding for the
transactions will go to the DDA identified by the Agency on page 1 of the application). Elavon will
direct the Service Fee to the new G2Gcharge.com MID established for the partner relationship (and
all service fees will go to Oakland County). Elavon will also provide a tear sheet for all new Agency
MIDs boarded.
3. Elavon will debit Oakland County each month for the fees due to Elavon under agreements.
STEPS FOR REPAPERING CURRENT AGENCIES WITHOUT A SEPARATE AGREEMENT
1. Elavon will prepare a Government Application for each MID that does not have a signed Elavon
agreement (similar to the steps above) with the information available to Elavon (for clarity, the
County and Agency will need to complete the information in Section 3 on page 1).
2. The application will be forwarded to Oakland County for submission to and signature by the agency.
Oakland County will forward the application with a Service Fee sheet to the agency for execution.
3. The signed application and Service Fee sheet should be sent to Daniel.Huff@elavon.com and
strategicpublicsectorrelationships@elavon.com.
4. The existing agency MID will remain the same, and the G2Gcharge.com MID used will be the new
partner relationship MID. Oakland County will need to add the partner relationship service fee MID
to the Payflow Pro interface.
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE:
1. County agrees to submit the applications prepared by Elavon to the applicable agencies within 30
days of receipt from Elavon. County will follow-up with the agencies periodically to ensure return of
the documents.
2. County will use its best efforts to complete the steps necessary to effectuate the change to the
G2Gcharge.com MID by September, 2022.
