Employment is at-will. Either Employer or Employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause and with or without notice, subject to any statutory rights or written agreements to the contrary. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a guaranteed term of employment except as expressly set forth in writing.

Employee agrees to devote full working time, attention and best efforts to such duties, comply with lawful directions and follow Employer policies and procedures.
