This Authorization for Deployment of eMessaging (hereinafter "Authorization") is provided by the party
identified below as Customer ("Customer") and is subject to and governed by the current Master Services
Agreement ("Agreement") between Customer and Securus Technologies, Inc. ("Provider"). Its terms are effective
as of the date signed by Customer below (the "Effective Date") and this Authorization is coterminous with the
Agreement. Provider will provide eMessaging as described herein.
DESCRIPTION: Securus' eMessaging Application ("eMessaging") allows for two-way electronic communication
between friends and family and their incarcerated loved one. eMessaging works by allowing friends and family
to purchase eMessaging "stamps," which they can use to fund the transmission of an electronic message to
their incarcerated loved one. Each text message costs only a single stamp, while a text message with an
attached picture costs only two stamps. If a friend or family members wishes, they can include an additional
stamp that will allow their incarcerated loved one to send a single return message. Return messages are text
only; no picture attachments are allowed. Inmates are not able to purchase their own stamps at this time. The
facility is provided a web -based portal that enables the review of messaging with various options for review.
The facility can approve and reject a message based on their policies and criteria. Friends and family must send
and receive messages using either the Securus mobile app for android devices or access their inbox at
www.securustech.net and must have a free Securus Online account to access. Approved messages and
attachments are accessible by inmates on a ConnectUs-equipped XL or S -Phone unit or a Securus SecureView
tablet.
COMPENSATION: Provider will provide eMessaging at no cost to Customer. Friends and family members can
purchase a book of stamps in the following quantities:
Number of Stamps in Book
Stamp Book Price (Plus $3.00 transaction fee and all applicable taxes)
5
$2.50
10
$5.00
20
$10.00
50
$25.00
Provider will pay Customer a commission of 20% on each redeemed stamp, based on the purchase price of the
stamp, which may differ from facility to facility. A stamp is considered "redeemed" when it is used to send an
original message to an inmate or when a single return message from the inmate is prepaid for by the inmate's
friends and family. Provider will remit the payment for a calendar month to Customer on or before the 30th day
after end of the calendar month in which the eMessaging stamps were redeemed (the "Payment Date"). All
payments will be final and binding unless Provider receives written objection within 60 days after the Payment
Date,
