I understand that the
granting of a franchise is at the sole discretion of the
Franchisor CAPT. SHRIMP CORP.
I understand that any
information I receive from the Franchisor or from any
employee, agent or franchisee of the Franchisor is highly
confidential ("Confidential Information"), has been
developed with a great deal of effort and expense to the
Franchisor, and is being made available to me solely
because of this Application. I agree that I shall treat and
maintain all Confidential Information as confidential, and I
shall not, at any time, without the express written consent
of the board of directors of the Franchisor, disclose,
publish, or divulge any Confidential Information to any
person, firm, corporation or other entity, or use any
Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, for my own
benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or
other entity, other than for the benefit of the Franchisor.
I authorize the
procurement of an investigative consumer report, a general
background search and an investigation in accordance with
anti-terrorism legislation, such as the USA Patriot Act and
Executive Order 13224 enacted by the US Government
(collectively referred to as "Investigations"). I understand
that these Investigations may reveal information about my
background, character, general reputation, mode of living,
association with other individuals or entities,
creditworthiness, litigation history and job performance. I
understand that, upon written request, within a reasonable
period of time, I am entitled to additional information
concerning the nature and scope of these Investigations. I
hereby release a representative of the Franchisor, a credit
bureau, security consultant or other investigative service
provider selected by the Franchisor, its officers, agents,
employees, and/or servants from any liability arising from
the preparation of these Investigations.
This authorization for
release of information includes but is not limited to
matters of opinion relating to my character, ability,
reputation, association with others and past performance. I
authorize all persons, schools, companies, corporations,
credit bureaus, law enforcement agencies or other
investigative service providers to release such information
without restriction or qualification to a representative of
the Franchisor, a credit bureau, security consultant or
other investigative service provider selected by the
Franchisor and any of its officers, agents, employees and/or
servants. I voluntarily waive all recourse and release them
from liability for complying with this authorization. This
authorization/release shall apply to this as well as any
future request for these Investigations by the above named
individuals or entities. I authorize that a photocopy or
facsimile of this release be considered as valid as the
original.
I agree that I will
settle any and all previously unasserted claims, disputes
or controversies arising out of or relating to my
application or candidacy for the grant of a CAPT. SHRIMP®
franchise from Franchisor, exclusively by final and binding
arbitration at a hearing to be administered by a neutral
arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the
American Arbitration Association and to be held at
Lauderhill, Florida USA, unless my local laws require
otherwise. Such claims include, but are not limited to,
claims under federal, state, provincial or common law, such
as employment law, civil rights law, contract law and tort
law.
Everything that I have
stated in this application is true and I understand that the
information provided by me will be relied upon by the
Franchisor. In accordance with anti-terrorist legislation, I
understand that I will not be approved to purchase a
franchise if I have ever been a suspected terrorist or
associated directly or indirectly with terrorist activities.
I read, understand, and agree to all of the above.
Additionally, I understand that the Franchisor may require
me to pass a standardized Math and English exam, unless I
fall under one of the exemptions set forth in the
Franchisor's Offering Circular.
