See ME, Inc., has developed a customer-service training program, See ME: Customer Service Training in Compassionate Care, and related materials (“Training Materials”) (Collectively, “Programs”) based on a set of Seven Core Principles and related Action Steps for organizations involved in the delivery of long-term care and assisted living services. See ME, Inc. offers three types of license models for these Programs: Self-Study, Classroom, Both (“License Type”)

This is a license agreement (“Agreement”) by and between you (“Licensee”) and See ME, Inc., a Minnesota Corporation (“See ME, Inc.”), and is made and effective as of the first date accepted by you (“Effective Date”).

This license applies only to properties registered at the time of purchase by Licensee. A property is defined by a building(s) with a registered mailing address. If multiple properties are registered at the time of purchase, the number of employees used to calculate the cost of the program will be equal to the number of employees working at all properties registered. If Licensee adds a new property with a new physical address, a new license will be required for use on that property based on the number of employees at the time of purchase working at that property. Program use in any unregistered property is considered a violation of the license agreement and subject to penalty.
