Regardless of whether reports will reflect favorably on me or not, I authorize, without retribution, penalty, or retaliation my endorsing agency’s representatives to report in accordance with their recollection of my work history within their organization, as well as other information they may feel relevant to NRQPIC llc’s decision making process in issuing certification.  I authorize and hold harmless The National Registry of Qualified Professional Interpreter Certifications llc and its representatives to explore my history and reputation for the purposes of granting or denying me certification.  With my paid application I extend authorization to The National Registry of Qualified Professional Interpreter Certifications llc and its appointed representatives to report my certification history and status to any inquiring individual or organization.

I understand and expressly assume all the risks and dangers of the activities contemplated by this agreement, and I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue The National Registry of Qualified Professional Interpreter Certifications llc, and their officers, agents, servants, and employees (collectively, the “Releasees”) from all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action whatsoever arising out of any damages, loss, or injury to me or to my property in pursuing certification contemplated by this agreement, whether such damage, loss, or injury, results from the negligence of the Releasees or for any other cause. I also hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue the Releasees from any claims whatsoever on account of any service rendered to me during my participation in pursuit of certification.  I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or costs, including court costs and attorneys’ fees that they may incur due to my participation in said activities.

I agree, for myself and my successors, that the above representations and agreements are contractually binding, and are not mere recitals. I agree that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by governing law, and that if any portion of it is held invalid, the balance shall continue in full force and effect.
