(3) and/or VI (B) (5), each compiled data extract will exclude the following: all records that
are not public records under the Administrative Order 19; all records exempt from disclosure
by other statute; all records sealed by order of the court for which they are maintained, and
full social security numbers, driver’s license or equivalent state identification card numbers,
account numbers and PINs of specific assets, liabilities, accounts, and credit cards.
C. User Manual. AOC will provide an inquiry user manual to LICENSEE as applicable for the
data extracts provided.
D. Documentation. AOC will provide file layout and documentation for each data extract
provided.
E. Offense Codes. AOC will provide its most current list of offense codes to any
LICENSEE provided with any data extract.
F. Implementation Dates. AOC will provide a list of dates of implementation of Contexte
and CMS for each court, as applicable for the data extracts provided.
G. Limited Technical Support. AOC will provide limited support to LICENSEE for the
purpose of resolving technical support problems with downloading the data extract files from

III. LIMITS ON AOC'S DUTIES
A. Data Limits. The data in each data extract provided pursuant to this Agreement are subject
to the following limitations:
1. Data availability is based on the dates Contexte and CMS were implemented in a
particular court; those dates are provided pursuant to Article II of this Agreement. In
some courts, the clerk of court has chosen to enter into Contexte or CMS case data
from dates prior to that court's implementation of Contexte or CMS; for those counties
that data will be included in the relevant extracts.
2. The official custodian of all official court records for each court is the clerk of court. AOC
is not the official custodian of any record provided in any Contexte data extract where
the court is indicated as a full Contexte user. Each data extract may contain data
entered by AOC into the Contexte or CMS databases as reported to AOC by the court.
AOC warrants that the records in each data extract are accurate reflections of the
databases from which they were extracted, but does not warrant the accuracy of the
databases themselves.
3. Use of the data contained in a data extract may not be classified as a certified record
check. A certified report of a criminal record search of a person's record in a particular
county may be obtained from the clerk of court of that county, upon payment of a
statutory search and/or certification fee.
4. AOC is not liable for any damages incurred by LICENSEE resulting from the inaccuracy
or incompleteness of any information in any official court record, provided the extract of
any data matched the relevant database at the time of extraction. It is expressly
understood by the parties that it is LICENSEE'S responsibility to verify information or
data obtained in any data extract with official information reposing at the court of record.
5. AOC is not liable for any demand or claim, regardless of form of action, for any damages
arising from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of AOC.
6. AOC is not liable for any demand or claim, regardless of form of action, for any
Compiled Records License Agreement

damages resulting from the use by LICENSEE of any computer programs or other
materials provided under this Agreement. AOC has no obligation to maintain or
upgrade any such computer programs provided under this Agreement, except as AOC
deems necessary.
7. If AOC is in disaster recovery mode, AOC is not liable for any demand or claim,
regardless of form of action, for any damages arising from denial of access or inability
to access data from the AOC system.
8. AOC is not liable to LICENSEE for any damages resulting from LICENSEE'S alteration
or modification of data supplied pursuant to this Agreement, unless AOC made,
directed, or required such modification or alteration.
9. AOC is not liable to LICENSEE or any other party for any loss, including revenue;
profits; time; goodwill; computer time; destruction, damage, or loss of data; or any other
indirect, special, or consequential damage that may arise from the use, operation, or
modification of AOC data extracts.
B. Access Limits. LICENSEE'S access to all data extracts provided pursuant to this
Agreement is subject to the following limits:

LICENSEE will not have access to data extracts from any AOC information system
while AOC is operating any information system in disaster recovery mode.

system maintenance, system outages, or interruptions of service that does not require
activation of disaster recovery mode.
4. AOC shall make reasonable efforts to provide LICENSEE with prompt written notice of
any delay, limitation, or denial of access and of its anticipated duration, and will
promptly notify LICENSEE when full access is again available.
5. AOC is not liable for any damages incurred by LICENSEE resulting from any delay,
limitation or denial of access, or inability to access, referred to in this Article.
C. No Warranty. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, AOC
makes no warranty whatsoever, of any kind or nature, express or implied, to
LICENSEE. Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, AOC specifically
disclaims any warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose with
respect to any data extract provided pursuant to this Agreement, or with respect to
the data in any such extract. The AOC also specifically disclaims any warranties,
express or implied, for any computer programs and associated materials provided
hereunder, or that the information or data accessed are accurate, correct, or
complete.
D. Limitation of Liability. LICENSEE agrees that any remedy available to LICENSEE
will be limited to a refund of the purchase price of the license.
E. No Assistance to LICENSEE'S Customers. AOC will not provide any support or
assistance of any kind to LICENSEE'S subscribers or customers.

must be made to the "Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts" at the following
address:
Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts
625 Marshall Street, Justice Building
Little Rock, AR 72201
C. Performance Bond. LICENSEE agrees to execute a performance bond, as described in
Article V, Section B, and as provided on form AOC-A-204 (Performance Bond for License
Agreement), and to be bound by the terms and conditions thereof. Agencies of the State
of Arkansas are exempt from this performance bond requirement.
D. Late Fee. If payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice, a late
fee, as specified in Attachment A, will be assessed and is due and payable immediately upon
notice from the AOC.
V. LICENSEE'S DUTIES
A. Duties. The following are LICENSEE'S duties.
1. LICENSEE shall NOT provide case information or personal information excluded from
public access by Section VII of Administrative Order 19 to its customers, subscribers, or
other persons without the express written permission of AOC or a court order.
2. LICENSEE shall NOT provide personal identifying information to customers,
subscribers, or other persons without the express written permission of AOC or a court
order.
3. LICENSEE shall only use case information and personal information excluded from
public access by section VII of Administrative Order 19 for a scholarly, journalistic,
political, governmental, research, evaluation, or statistical purpose and will not directly
or indirectly use that information to sell an individual service to any individual, group of
individuals, or the general public.
4. LICENSEE shall notify AOC in writing when returning or destroying the compiled data
extract. The date of receipt by AOC of said written notice shall be the date of
termination of the Agreement for purposes of termination of the performance bond
pursuant to (B) (6) below.
B. Liquidated Damages and Performance Bond
1. LICENSEE acknowledges that any breach of its duties may
a) Cause it to provide its subscribers and customers with inaccurate data, creating the
potential for substantial harm to persons whose records are affected and to others
who rely on those records.
b) Cause AOC to incur personnel, technology, and other costs in receiving,
investigating, and responding to complaints; verifying inaccuracies and identifying
their source; and enforcing LICENSEE'S compliance with its duties under this
Agreement.
c) Cause AOC to incur further expense in dealing with claims arising from
LICENSEE'S breach.
2. The parties agree that any damages incurred by AOC as a result of any such breach
are to some extent speculative and difficult to determine after the breach.
3. Therefore, in order to avoid litigation concerning the nature and extent of the damages
resulting from each such breach, to provide AOC with reasonable compensation for
those damages, to limit LICENSEE'S exposure to an agreed amount, and to provide an
incentive to LICENSEE to provide only accurate data, for each verified breach of
LICENSEE'S duties, LICENSEE will pay to AOC, immediately upon AOC's verification
of the breach, liquidated damages in the amount set out in Attachment A.
Compiled Records License Agreement
Revised September 28, 2012
Page 6
4. To secure the payment of liquidated damages, as provided in Subsection 3 above,
LICENSEE, upon the execution of this Agreement, must submit to AOC a completed
Form AOC-A-204 (Performance Bond for License Agreement).[See Section IV C
exempting agencies of the State of Arkansas.] The performance bond in following form
must be deposited with AOC at the same time:
A performance bond in the amount specified in Attachment A under
“Performance Bond”, in the form of a Corporate Surety Bond secured by at
least one corporate surety, or an irrevocable letter of credit from a federally
insured financial institution.
Upon notification to LICENSEE that the AOC has verified a breach of LICENSEE'S
duties, as described in Section A of this Article, LICENSEE shall immediately pay to the
AOC the liquidated damages amount indicated in Attachment A to this Agreement. If
the AOC has not received payment of the liquidated damages within thirty (30) days of
notice and demand to the LICENSEE, the AOC shall pursue forfeiture of LICENSEE'S
bond posted pursuant to this Section, of which the enforcement costs, including, but not
limited to, court costs and attorney fees, shall be borne by LICENSEE.
In the event of initiation of forfeiture proceedings against LICENSEE'S bond due to
breach of its duty to pay liquidated damages upon AOC's verification of breach,
LICENSEE will be required to deposit with AOC a new performance bond, in the
amount specified in Attachment A, in order to continue access to AOC's extract files.
5. If LICENSEE again breaches one or more of its duties under Section V (A) within two
years of a previous breach, LICENSEE'S bond will be forfeited and this Agreement will
terminate.
6. Thirty (30) days after termination of the Agreement under conditions that do not require
the forfeiture of the bond, the bond will terminate.
C. Response to Complaints - Investigation, Suspension, and Termination. LICENSEE
acknowledges and agrees that reports of errors in data provided by LICENSEE to its
subscribers or customers or any other failure to comply with LICENSEE'S duties will be
subject to investigation and response by the AOC, as described in this Section.
1. Upon any report or complaint that data provided directly or indirectly by LICENSEE to any
person are inaccurate, AOC will first investigate to verify the following:
a) LICENSEE'S data referenced by the complainant are, in fact, inaccurate;
b) The data were obtained from AOC; and
c) The data were accurate in the data extract files provided by AOC.
2. Upon such verification, AOC will notify one of LICENSEE'S contact persons of the
inaccuracy, as well as LICENSEE'S duty to pay liquidated damages in the amount set out in
Attachment A, pursuant to Section B.3 of this Article. These liquidated damages are due and
payable independent of LICENSEE'S corrective action, as explained in Section C.3 below.
3. Upon such notification, LICENSEE will have a reasonable time to correct the inaccuracy.
Correction may require, in the sole discretion of AOC's Chief Information Officer,
reapplication of extract files, including, but not limited to, a complete erasure of
LICENSEE'S records from AOC and restoration of those records from any compiled data
extracts provided to LICENSEE under this Agreement or purchase of a new compiled
data extract.
4. When AOC is satisfied that LICENSEE'S records are accurate and the data that were the
source of the complaint have been corrected, AOC will so notify LICENSEE'S contact
person and the complainant of the correction. Pursuant to Sections B.4 and B.5 of this
Article, LICENSEE, to continue its access to AOC's extract files, will be required to provide
a new performance bond if it forfeited its initial performance bond due to breach of its duty
to pay liquidated damages.
Compiled Records License Agreement
Revised September 28, 2012

5. Upon a subsequent report or complaint that data provided by LICENSEE to any person are
inaccurate, AOC will investigate and verify the inaccuracy as provided above.
6. If LICENSEE provides inaccurate data within two years of a previous verified inaccuracy,
and the subsequent inaccuracy is verified as provided in Subsection 1, above, this
Agreement will immediately terminate and may not be reinstated.
7. In order to allow AOC to conduct the investigation and verification provided for in this Article,
as well as random security checks, LICENSEE shall provide to AOC complete records from
LICENSEE'S database(s), upon receipt from AOC of a list of names or case numbers, as
part of AOC's investigations or security checks.
8. AOC is under no obligation to notify LICENSEE of any complaint during the course of AOC's
investigation or after its conclusion, should AOC determine that LICENSEE'S data are
accurate, or that the source of the data was an entity other than AOC.
9. AOC is under no obligation to identify the specific data that are the source of a
complaint, and may, in fact, be prohibited by law from doing so.
10. Any failure by LICENSEE to comply with an instruction given by AOC pursuant to this
Article will result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
11. By investigating, verifying, and confirming a correction as provided in this Article, AOC
assumes no obligation to LICENSEE with regard to LICENSEE'S potential liability to a
complainant or any other person as a result of the dissemination of inaccurate data
under investigation.
