9. ATTORNEYS' FEES In the event of litigation or other action brought to enforce the Agreement terms, each Party agrees to bear its own attorney fees and costs. 10. BILLING PROCEDURE All invoices for reimbursement of HVE activities will be done using the WTSC's grant management system, WEMS. WEMS Officer Activity logs will be attached to invoices, directly linking the cost of the activity to the invoice. Because the activity, approval, and invoicing are all done within WEMS, no back up documentation is required in most cases. Once submitted by the SUB -RECIPIENT, invoices are routed to the regional TZM for review and approval. The TZM will submit all approved invoices to the WTSC via WEMS within 10 days of receipt. Payment to the SUB -RECIPIENT for approved and completed work will be made by warrant or account transfer by WTSC within 30 days of receipt of such properly documented invoices acceptable to WTSC. Upon expiration of the Agreement, any claim for payment not already made shall be submitted within 45 days after the expiration date of this Agreement. All invoices for goods received or services performed on or prior to June 30, 2023, must be received by WTSC no later than August 10, 2023. All invoices for goods received or services performed between July 1, 2023 and September 30, 2023, must be received by WTSC no later than November 15, 2023. 11. CONFIDENTIALITY/SAFEGUARDING OF INFORMATION The SUB -RECIPIENT shall not use or disclose any information concerning the WTSC, or information which may be classified as confidential, for any purpose not directly connected with the administration of this Agreement, except with prior written consent of the WTSC, or as may be required by law. 12. COST PRINCIPLES Costs incurred under this Agreement shall adhere to provisions of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E. 13.

The WTSC shall have the right, in the event of breach of this section by the SUB -RECIPIENT, to annul this Agreement without liability. 14. DISPUTES 14.1. Disputes arising in the performance of this Agreement, which are not resolved by agreement of the Parties, shall be decided in writing by the WTSC Deputy Director or designee.
