EmFinders Terminates Contract with Project Lifesaver International and Files Breach of Contract Suit
EmFinders Continues Uninterrupted to Offer Its Industry-Leading EmSeeQ® Wearable Locator Device to Public Safety Agencies throughout the United States
FRISCO, Texas, Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- EmFinders, a technology company that offers a wearable cellular locator device for impaired adults and children, announced today the termination of its relationship with Project Lifesaver International (PLI). EmFinders also filed a lawsuit against Project Lifesaver International for Breach of Contract and Tortious Interference.
PLI was formed in 1999 for the purpose of providing services and products to public safety agencies involved in the search and rescue of cognitively impaired individuals that wander or elope. The EmFinders® EmSeeQ® uses state of the art cellular technology that connects to the E-9-1-1 emergency location system and provides the location of the missing person directly to the 9-1-1 dispatcher. In its complaint filed in Federal District Court in Delaware (Docket No. 1:10-cv-00930), EmFinders accuses PLI of breaching various provisions of an agreement that the organizations signed earlier this year. Specifically, EmFinders charges that after successfully testing and evaluating the EmSeeQ system, PLI nevertheless failed to adopt the EmSeeQ as its preferred technology, failed to engage in marketing activities for which it was paid, and went so far as to disparage publicly both EmFinders and the EmSeeQ System.
EmFinders offers its wearable watch-like EmSeeQ device to facilities and individuals who are responsible for the care of impaired individuals at risk of wandering, including those with autism or Alzheimer's disease. The rechargeable, watch-like device is built to be comfortable but comes equipped with an optional two-handed clasp for added security.
