6
to CRA if the subject matter of such representation is not related to Services described in this
Agreement and if CRA waives any conflict or alleged conflict with respect to such representation.

or adversely affect the interests of CRA and the obligations undertaken by Provider hereunder.

Maintenance is a key criteria for the design, all the Blachere Brand LED
products are proven and manufactured for use in high traffic urban areas. All
the elements are being used without complications in the South Florida
market with proximity to the beach areas.
This is a full -service agreement where Brandano Displays provides the
lights, weekly service and removal at the end of the agreement. All pricing is
predicated upon a 36-month agreement. Unfortunately, the customization of
the components and year-round use of the lighting does not allow us an
economically feasible opportunity to recover our investment over a single
season.
