Residents. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil

at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have
materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
6. Links to Other
Sites. The Career Site may contain links to third party web sites. These
links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by AutomotoHR of the contents on such third-party web sites. AutomotoHR is not responsible for the content of linked
