This Agreement is considered executed and made and entered into as of the date of execution by Licensee of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and is by and between Inmate Money Consulting & Software, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Licensor”) and the party executing this Agreement in order to use the Licensed Software.
Section 1 Definitions
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
- “Agreement” means this Master License Agreement.
- “Confidential Information” means any business contact, potential business affiliation, information, technical data, or know-how, including by example and not limitation but not limited to, that which is related to research, products, services, customers, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, designs, drawings, engineering, marketing or finances provided by one party. Confidential Information does not include the fact that Licensor and Licensee have entered into a business relationship or information, technical data or know-how which (i) is in possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure as shown by the receiving party’s files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure; (ii) prior to or after the time of disclosure becomes part of the public knowledge or literature, not as a result of any inaction or action of the receiving party; (iii) is approved for release in writing by the disclosing party; (iv) information that qualifies as a Trade Secret.

Within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the notice of cure, the non-breaching party shall provide written certification (i) such breaches have been remedied or (ii) such breaches are not remedied and describe in reasonable detail the breaches that remain and whether or not the Cure Period shall be extended or the Agreement shall be terminated. The Cure Period ends upon the earlier of: (1) such thirty (30) days or such longer cure period as the non-breaching may approve as provided above; and (2) by Licensee’s written certification of cure or termination.
- “Licensed Service Plan” means the service plan chosen by Licensee as indicated by its selection on the Licensor’s website.

- Billing Disputes. It is Licensee’s responsibility to notify Licensor in writing if Licensee disputes any billing entry or computation.
