Submitting an application or participating in the selection process does not guarantee an interview, offer, or engagement. WAD Capital reserves the right to modify or terminate the process at any stage without prior notice.
4. Accuracy of Information
You confirm that the information provided in your application is true and complete to the best of your knowledge. Misrepresentation or omission may result in disqualification or, if applicable, termination of any engagement.
