All inventions, improvements, works of authorship, designs, and other intellectual property created by the Employee within the scope of employment shall be the exclusive property of the Employer. The Employee shall promptly disclose such intellectual property to the Employer and assist in obtaining protection. The Employee warrants they will avoid conflicts of interest and will disclose any potential conflicts to the Employer in writing.

During employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following termination, the Employee shall not directly solicit materially the Employer's employees or clients for competitive services. This restriction is reasonable in scope and duration and is necessary to protect the Employer's legitimate business interests. The Employee acknowledges that remedies for breach may include injunctive relief and damages.

Employment is at-will and may be terminated by either party at any time, with or without cause or prior notice, unless otherwise provided in a separate written agreement.

  I authorize the Employer to conduct background, credit (where job-related and permitted), and reference checks as described above.

12. Legal Disclosures

At-Will Employment

The Employee's employment is on an at-will basis, which means that either the Employee or the Employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or advance notice, subject to applicable law and any written agreement signed by both parties expressly modifying this at-will relationship.
