Authorization

1. I acknowledge and attest that I have completed this application for employment personally and that all the answers supplied in this application are complete and accurate.  I also acknowledge and attest that I have not intentionally omitted or failed to disclose any data that may reduce my prospects for employment with this Company.  I further acknowledge, attest and agree that any omission or failure to disclose significant, relevant information shall cause the Company to reject the application or, if I am hired, immediately terminate my employment, no matter how much time has passed before the Company learns such information.

2. I authorize the Company to research and investigate, through the references I have supplied and any other lawful channel, my employment history, education, skills and any other matter related to my qualifications for the position applied for.  I similarly authorize the references I have supplied to disclose to the Company -- and without any notice to me of such disclosure -- any and all reports, transcripts, letters and other records and documents related to my past work, education and any other matter related to my qualifications for employment.  Further, I hereby release the Company, all my past employers, all my past educational institutions and all other individuals, corporations, partner­ships and organizations from any and all claims, demands, suits and/or liabilities arising from or in any way related to such research, investigation and/or disclosure.
3. Having read and understood the attached job description, I acknowledge and agree that in order to enable the Company to determine whether I possess the skills and other personal qualities necessary to qualify for the position I am applying for, the Company may engage in a testing and interview process.  The tests may include but not be limited to those that measure intelligence, aptitude and personality traits required to meet the requirements of the position, including but not limited to meeting the Company's standards for performance, interpersonal relations and competence on the job.  Accordingly, I hereby release the Company and any and all Company employees, representatives, associated testing services and any and all other individuals, corporations, partnerships and organizations from any and all claims, demands, suits and/or liabilities -- including but not limited to claims based on any state or federal rights of privacy -- arising from or in any way related to such testing and interview processes.
4. I acknowledge and agree that in the event of any claim or dispute that arises from my submission of this application and that cannot be resolved by initial direct communications between myself and the Company, the claim or dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration.  The American Arbitration Association (AAA) shall arbitrate such dispute unless another third party arbitrator is agreed upon in writing by both parties.  The arbitration shall be conducted either in accordance with the Model Employment Arbitration Procedures of the AAA which are in effect at the time of the arbitration or, if an alternative arbitrator is agreed upon, in accordance with the then current rules and procedures of that other third party arbitrator.  In the event I am hired by the Company, then its published policies and procedures for resolution, mediation and arbitration of disputes with employees, including but not limited to those stated in the Company's employment agreement, shall replace this agreement to arbitrate.
5. I acknowledge and agree that nothing in this application and nothing in communications between me and Company representatives or associates during the application, interview and/or testing process is intended to create an offer of employment or a contract of employment between me and the Company.  I further acknowledge and agree that if hired by the Company, nothing in this application and nothing in communications between me and Company representatives or associates during the application, interview and/or testing process and nothing in my employment is intended to create or should be construed to create anything other than employment for no definite or determinable period and employment that may be terminated by either me or the Company at any time, for any reason or no reason at all and without prior notice.  I further acknowledge and agree that no promises or representations contrary to any of the points made in these five numbered paragraphs are binding on the Company unless stated in writing and signed by me and an authorized Company representative.
