User also waives California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” User also waives any and all benefits and rights that would otherwise accrue to User by reason of the provisions of any federal or state statute or principle of common law of any state of the United States, or any political entity, nation, or province or local law or regulation that may govern this release, which statute, regulation, law or principle provides in substance something similar to California Civil Code § 1542.

In an effort to promote a diverse Talent community where all members have an equal opportunity for employment or other types of work opportunities through this Site, Boulo Solutions may ask Talent for certain demographic or other information.
