13. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION
14. GENERAL
These Terms do not, and will not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and Atlas Search. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our express prior written consent. We may assign, transfer, or sublicense any or all of our rights or obligations under these Terms without restriction. No waiver by either party of any breach or default under these Terms will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Any heading, caption, or section title contained herein is for convenience only, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision. All terms defined in the singular will have the same meanings when used in the plural, where appropriate and unless otherwise specified. Any use of the term “including” or variations thereof in these Terms will be construed as if followed by the phrase “without limitation.”
These Terms, including any terms and conditions incorporated herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Atlas Search relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous oral agreements or understandings between you and Atlas Search relating to such subject matter.
Notices to you (including notices of changes to these Terms) may be made via posting to the Sites or by email (including in each case via links), or by regular mail. Without limitation, a printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Atlas Search will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its control.

You may, in your sole discretion, accept or reject any interview requests. All requests for interviews by Customers through the Sites do not guarantee a final job or job offer, or a job offer at any particular level of compensation.

You authorize Atlas Search, Customers, and their respective agents to make investigations and inquiries into your work and educational history and other related matters as may be necessary in arriving at a decision to place you on a job. Atlas Search may use a third-party vendor to perform such investigations/inquiries. If a third-party vendor is used, you will be provided additional disclosures and authorization forms as required by applicable laws prior to a third party performing such investigations/inquiries.
You release employers, schools, and other persons from all liability in responding to inquiries connected with your application and you specifically authorize the release of information by any schools, businesses, individuals, services or other entities listed by you in the Candidate Information. Furthermore, you authorize Atlas Search and its agents to release any reference information to Customers who request such information for purposes of evaluating your credentials, skills, and experience and you acknowledge that Customers may reach out to you directly.
