This letter of agreement is between "Your Company Name" and The University of Tulsa. The Tulsa University Crash Reconstruction Research Consortium (TUCRRC) is a nonprofit, cooperative, industry-university research venture in which contributing members shall pay a yearly membership fee to partially support research on crash reconstruction. The TUCRRC initial project period shall be for one (1) year after execution of the agreement by two members (the number required to initiate the TUCRRC Project). The membership fee for each year of the TUCRRC is $3500 per member. Members agree to provide written notice of the intent to terminate membership no later than four (4) months prior to the end of the current membership year. Termination notices not submitted prior to the four month period shall result in the charging of another membership fee. Membership fees shall be invoiced no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the current membership year. Non-profit members are entitled to one crash test per year. Members joining after three years from inception shall be responsible for the annual membership fee plus a one-time information fee of $500. Membership in TUCRRC is open to all interested parties. Invoices will be payable 30 days following receipt. All invoices to your Company/Organization will refer to this Agreement.

Each member and its affiliates have the right to freely use information and data obtained from TUCRRC during the term of their membership. Each Member may freely copy, use, license and disclose information and data obtained from TUCRRC without accounting to any party. If TUCRRC performs confidential testing or research, then the sponsoring party must request confidentiality before any work is performed. The confidentiality will only last for 2 years from the date of the tests and then the data shall become publicly available.

The University of Tulsa carries a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy that covers the operations of TUCRRC. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.

All official communications with each TUCRRC member shall be to the technical or contractual parties indicated in the agreement. Other than the annual membership fee, no additional costs are charged Member companies unless extra copies of research reports are requested or if requests are made for other items that would include costs that should not be borne, in whole or in part, by other Members.

Supplemental Fee Schedule for Crash Test Services

The base yearly membership fee entitles non-profit members to one crash test per year. A crash test is defined as a single crash event (up to 2 vehicles) that requires setup and delivery. The yearly fee will cover the materials and supplies for the test as well as travel and labor expenses for two people to perform the test. Vehicles and site are the responsibility of the consortium member.

If additional testing is desired, the following rates apply:

Item	Rate
Membership Fee (Mandatory)	$3500 per year
Additional Crashes during the time allotted for the entitled crash test	$500 each
Additional Crashes during a different time from the annual entitled crash test.	$3500 for each crash
Data analysis and presentation at a conference with an existing crash test	$1000 per scheduled conference
Insurance	Included in Membership Fee

Limitations:

Conference organizers and consortium members will be responsible for the acquisition of vehicles and a testing location. The site should allow the consortium to drill 3/4” holes in the roadway surface to mount hardware.
Scene mapping is the responsibility of the conference organizer. The consortium will provide basic measurements.
The consortium will not be responsible for information and data distribution from sources outside the consortium.

These supplemental rates cover additional supplies, travel and labor to cover the additional tests. Data analysis and presentation fees cover additional labor, supplies and travel for any tests conducted at a conference. Travel times may be extended, which means more nights in the hotel are required. Additional crash tests require additional labor, which incurs extra expense.

If interested, organizations and individuals can make tax-free contributions beyond membership fee by earmarking gift monies to the consortium. Gifts would likely be applied toward purchasing additional testing equipment but would entitle the contributor to no additional benefits beyond those provided by an existing membership fee.
