• If you sell new or upgraded information technology or information technology services to a unit of the Maryland Executive Branch, accept the nonvisual access clause in the solicitation and contract, and warrant in it that the technology provides equivalent access for effective use by both visual and nonvisual means consistent with the standards of section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and COMAR 14.33.02 (State Fin. and Proc. 3.5-311(a)(1) and (b)(1); COMAR 21.05.08.05A).
• Warrant in that clause that the cost, if any, of modifying the technology for compatibility with software and hardware used for nonvisual access will not increase its cost by more than 15 percent (COMAR 21.05.08.05A).
• If the State notifies you in writing, after its determination within 18 months of the award, that the technology does not meet the nonvisual access standards, modify it at your own expense within 12 months after the notice so that it meets them (State Fin. and Proc. 3.5-311(a)(2)(i)-(ii); COMAR 21.05.08.05A).
• Indemnify the State for liability resulting from the use of technology that does not meet the nonvisual access standards, and defend and hold the State harmless from claims, costs, losses, damages, liability, judgments and expenses arising from that use (State Fin. and Proc. 3.5-311(a)(2)(iii)2.; COMAR 21.05.08.05A).
