Collecting information about (申请表) are closely connected, However, filling out an appheation
fornt is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.
That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the
questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or lerms and conditions, you can make some
changes before signing (签约) it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize
is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important,
or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your
interests in mind.
I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions
that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has
ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything, If anyone
questiones them. We would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both siders.
So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and
read it slowly. If you don't like something, you can simply change the parts you don't like, Remember that
everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position (立场),
of course, and that is something only you can determine.
