  • As a public entity of the State of Montana, we are subject to state requirements, including:
    • Governing Law: We can agree to Montana or remain silent.
    • Indemnification: We are unable to agree to indemnification or hold harmless clauses. 
  • The authorized signatory is the Vice President for Research. Signatures are facilitated via ORC.
