License Agreement by and between Guard Up, Inc., a Massachusetts business corporation with a principal place of business at 103 Terrace Hall Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803 (“Guard Up”) and purchaser of Game System License (“Licensee”).
Guard Up is engaged in the business of operating a story-based interactive, educational experience for children. Licensee operates a camp, after-school program, or other recreation/education program for children or adults ("Activities").
Guard Up has, over the years, developed a gaming system for use online or in a live environment along with an extensive array of stories, props, and teaching tools that it consistently upgrades and improves. In addition, Guard Up has deep experience in the operation of children’s events for school breaks and vacations and in the conduct of ongoing classes and events for all ages of all types.
Licensee wishes to provide story-based educational programming to children or adults, either online or in a live environment and minimize its costs to provide said programming. Licensee has requested that Guard Up provide training in its gaming system and tools along with access to its library of optional content to be used with the gaming system. Guard Up will provide access to the aforementioned content under the terms set forth below.
