Jquery Validation 'validate' undefined error

I have an MVC page that i am trying to add validation to but i keep getting the following error:

Unhandled exception

0x800a01b6 - JavaScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'validate'

Any ideas why?

My code is below.

<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js"></script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $("#contact").validate({
            rules: {
                "name-contact": {
                    required: true
                }
            },
            messages: {
                "name-contact": {
                    required: "Please, enter a name"
                }
            },
            submitHandler: function (form) { // for demo
                alert('valid form submitted'); // for demo
                return false; // for demo
            }
        });

    });
</script>


<form id="contact" method="post" action="#">
    <fieldset>
        <label for="name-contact">NAME</label>
        <input type="text" class="required input-xlarge" id="name-contact"
               name="name-contact" value="" placeholder="" minlength="2" />
        <input type="submit" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

There's a good chance you're not actually importing jquery.validate.js. Are you sure it's not called jquery.validate.min.js? Are you sure you have the correct path?
