A written contract is required with a consultant to protect the University’s title to all materials produced by the consultant. It also protects the University on issues concerning insurance, indemnification, reporting, confidentiality, and price warranty. Consultants are excluded from EZPO use to ensure that a contract is in place before payment is made.
