That is a really REALLY badly written contract. It can be very reasonably interpreted either way. So there is no answer.

If it was litigated in a court case, the court would have to look to outside evidence of when the parties intended “effective date” to be. If there was still no clear answer, the contract would be interpreted against the party who wrote it.
