DEFINITIONS

• Wagn is a free, open-source software application conceived and developed by Contractor.
• Wagneering describes the process of using Wagn to build websites.  Although Wagneering accomplishes tasks often achieved through software development, it does not involve the use of a scripting or programming language and is herein treated as a service distinct from software development.
• Wagn Consulting herein refers to a variety of forms of consultation on the use of Wagn software, including design, training, community development, integration with other data sources, configuration, and Wagneering.

RECITALS

The Contractor is engaged in the development of an open-source software application named Wagn, configuration of websites constructed within Wagn, and related consulting services to companies in need of such services; and,

The Client desires to engage the services of the Contractor, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Contractor desires to accept such engagement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
