CLIENT APPLICATION AGREEMENT

NOTE:  BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT YOU WILL WAIVE CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE

To: School of Business Administration, Oakland University

Participating Organization: _____________________________________________________________________________________________

Organization Address: ________________________________________________________________________________________________

In consideration of the Project Office allowing my participation in the Project Placement Program, I agree as follows:

1.  I understand that the Project Office offers a program for business information systems projects conducted by the students of the University of Calgary.  The program is academic in nature and exists solely for the benefit of the participating students.  These students do not hold themselves out to be professionals or experts in any areas and therefore can only provide me with information and not advice.

2.  Upon completion, this agreement only guarantees the application to be part of the Project Placement Program; it does not guarantee placement with a student or student team in said Program.

3.  Any use or reliance which I make of the business information or software that I receive is at the sole responsibility of myself.  The Project Office accepts no responsibility for any damages suffered as a result of decisions or actions based on the information or software that I receive from the students.

4.  I expressly consent to the gathering of non-confidential information by the students.  I understand that a consultant-client relationship is not being formed.

5.  Any information, software or project papers submitted by myself or by the students to the Project Office will be kept by the Project Office for one year and will then be destroyed unless stipulations are made via a separate agreement.  No reproduction of information will occur without prior consent.  All contact information from the Client Application Agreement, including name, address and  type of project assigned may be kept on the Project Office database indefinitely, even if your project is not placed with a student group, in order to be a more effective and useful Project Office.

6.  I have read and understood this agreement and am aware that by signing this agreement I am waiving any rights to legal action I might otherwise have against the Project Office, School of Business Administration, Oakland University, any individuals or employees retained by these entities, and the students assisting me.
