Director <br />North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services <br />2101 Mail Service Center <br />693 Palmer Drive <br />Raleigh, North Carolina 27699 -2101 <br />29. Termination of Contract for Cause. If through any cause, the Agency shall fail to fulfill in a <br />timely and proper manner its obligations under this contract, or if the Agency has or shall <br />violate any of the covenants, agreements, representations or stipulations of this contract, the <br />Area Agency shall therefore have the right to terminate this contract by giving written notice to <br />the Agency of such termination and specifying the effective date thereof. In such event, all <br />finished documents and other materials collected or produced under this contract shall at the <br />option of the Area Agency, become its property. The Agency shall be entitled to receive just <br />and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily performed under this contract, except to <br />the extent such work must be duplicated in order to complete the contract. Notwithstanding the <br />foregoing, the Agency shall not be relieved of liability to the Area Agency for damages <br />sustained by the Area Agency by virtue of any breach of this contract by the Agency and the <br />Area Agency may withhold payment of any additional sums as security for payment of damages <br />caused by the Agency's breach, until such time as the exact amount of the damages resulting <br />from such breach is determined. <br />30. Termination for Convenience. The Area Agency may terminate this contract for the <br />convenience of the Area Agency at any time by giving written notice to the Agency of such <br />termination and specifying the date thereof, no fewer than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective <br />date of such termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents and other materials <br />produced or collected shall, at the option of the Area Agency, become the property of the Area <br />Agency. If this contract is terminated by the Area Agency as provided in this paragraph, the <br />Agency will be paid the grant reimbursement percentage, described in paragraph 5, of the actual <br />allowable expenses that have been incurred by the Agency prior to the effective date of such <br />termination, less payments of compensation previously made by the Area Agency. Provided, <br />however, if this contract is terminated because of default by the Agency the provisions of <br />paragraph 29 hereof shall prevail. <br />31. Confidentiality and Security. Per the requirements in 10A NCAC 05J and Section 6 of the <br />Home and Community Care Block Grant Procedures Manual (updated 2016 through DAAS <br />Administrative Letter 16-11), client information in any format and whether recorded or not <br />shall be kept confidential and not disclosed in a form that identifies the person without the <br />informed consent of the person or legal representative. Information must be maintained in a <br />secure environment with restricted access, and community service providers must establish <br />procedures to prevent accidental disclosures from data processing systems. Community service <br />providers, including subcontractors and vendors, must adhere to requirements for protecting the <br />security and confidentiality of client information. <br />32. Applicable Law. This contract is executed and is to be performed in the State of North <br />Carolina, and all questions of interpretation and construction shall be construed by the laws of <br />8of10 <br />
