SCORE® Secure Device Purchaser Agreement

By purchasing a SCORE® Secure Device you, the end user, hereby agree to the terms contained in this Purchaser Agreement with Keefe Group, LLC and its parent and affiliate companies (“Keefe”) (the “Agreement”). This Agreement governs the use of your SCORE® Secure Device. This Agreement is effective on the date you receive your SCORE® Secure Device.

Please read this Agreement carefully prior to using your SCORE® Secure Device. In the event that you, the end user, do not agree to all terms of this Agreement, you have the option to return your SCORE® Secure Device free of charge within thirty (30) days of receipt (the “Return Period”). If you use your SCORE® Secure Device or keep it beyond the Return Period, you hereby accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

USING OR FAILING TO RETURN YOUR SCORE® SECURE DEVICE DURING THE RETURN PERIOD ACTS AS YOUR AGREEMENT TO A LIMITATION OF YOUR RIGHTS AGAINST KEEFE AS IT RELATES TO YOUR USE, POSSESSION, AND/OR OWNERSHIP OF YOUR SCORE® SECURE DEVICE. CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF KEEFE’S CONTROL MAY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO OWN AND/OR POSSESS YOUR SCORE® SECURE DEVICE AND ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT THROUGH YOUR CONTINUED USE OF YOUR SCORE® SECURE DEVICE ACTS AS AN AGREEMENT TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO SUE OR MAKE A CLAIM AGAINST KEEFE RELATING TO YOUR SCORE® SECURE DEVICE.

Limited Warranty

Keefe warrants to the original end-user purchase, that the SCORE® Secure Device, excluding content and/or software supplied with or on it, will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from the date the SCORE® Secure Device is delivered to you. This warranty is non-transferrable, and you agree that this warranty may be further limited by circumstances beyond Keefe’s control, including but not limited to security measures or other polices or procedures put in place by the institution in which you are housed.
Keefe’s liability under this warranty, and your exclusive remedy, is limited (at Keefe’s discretion) to either replacing or repairing the SCORE® Secure Device; provided however, if Keefe is unable to repair or replace your SCORE® Secure Device, Keefe may provide you with an equivalent product, which may be a refurbished product, at Keefe’s sole discretion. All the aforementioned remedies are subject to you explicitly following the process defined in the below section “Warranty Process.” Replacement and spare parts may be reconditioned, at Keefe’s sole discretion, and all parts removed from your SCORE® Secure Device during repair shall become the property of Keefe.

Warranty Process
If your SCORE® Secure Device is covered by this Limited Warranty and you desire to file a claim –

  1. Complete and sign the Warranty Request Card, attached hereto as Exhibit B, providing a detailed description of the problem(s), and confirming that the device was purchased within the last ninety (90) days.
  2. Receive a Returns Authorization Number from Keefe. Returns sent without a Returns Authorization Number will be sent back to you unrepaired and the time remaining on your warranty will continue to run during this time period. Individuals incarcerated at Federal Bureau of Prison institutions do not need to get this number.
  3. When you mail your device for repair at the correct address below, you must include proof of purchase and the device. Failure to include proof of purchase will cause Keefe to return your device to you unrepaired and the time remaining on your warranty will continue to run during this time period.
  4. You shall be solely responsible for shipping costs for warranty repair. Keefe shall be responsible for the costs of return shipping following a repair as outlined in this subsection. Keefe will only ship to addresses within the United States. Including a return address outside of the United States will result in your device being considered undeliverable and disposed of after sixty (60) days.
  5. Ensure return address provided is accurate and acceptable to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Invalid addresses or devices returned as undeliverable will be disposed of after sixty (60) days.

Requests that fail to meet all aforementioned requirements will be returned unprocessed to the return address provided and the Limited Warranty Period will continue to run during this time. Please confirm with your correctional agency which of the below addresses your warranty request is to be mailed. If you are unable to obtain confirmation from the agency, those who are/were incarcerated at a state or county institution should send their request to the St. Louis address, and those who are/were incarcerated at a federal institution should send it to the West Des Moines address:

Consent and Understanding to Circumstances Unique to Purchases within the Correctional Environment.
Providing goods and/or services to the correctional environment presents unique circumstances and challenges that may not otherwise exist. At the time of your purchase of the SCORE® Secure Device, Keefe has been authorized via contract or otherwise to sell media devices and media content to individuals housed within the correctional facility in which you reside. By making this purchase and consenting to the terms of this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that circumstances may change subsequent to your purchase of the SCORE® Secure Device which result in Keefe no longer being the provider of goods and/or services to the facility where you reside such as media devices (i.e. the SCORE® Secure Device) and media content. Moreover, security restrictions outside of Keefe’s control that currently exist or are implemented after your purchase may affect your access to the SCORE® Secure Device and/or the media stored thereon. In the event these circumstances arise, the facility may require that you surrender your SCORE® Secure Device or in the event you are permitted to retain your SCORE® Secure Device, the facility may limit or restrict your ability to use the device and/or purchase additional media for it. Any number of changes outside of your or Keefe’s control may cause your relationship with your SCORE® Secure Device to become impaired or terminated.

By consenting to the terms of this Agreement you acknowledge the limitations stated in this Section VIII (i.e. that circumstances outside of your or Keefe’s control may restrict, limit or remove your ability to use or possess your SCORE® Secure Device and any media content you purchase to use on it), and hereby waive and release any and all claims, now and hereafter known, against Keefe and its affiliates and their respective owners, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns on account of any actual or alleged injury you suffer that arises out of or relates to any loss, impairment or limitation of use of your SCORE® Secure Device and/or the media content purchased for it.
This waiver of all suits includes a decision by the facility in which you are incarcerated to restrict the usage or possession of the SCORE® Secure Device or the media stored thereon or any decision which causes Keefe to be unable to continue providing SCORE® Secure Devices and/or media sales at the institution which houses you.
