In addition, nothing in this Agreement prevents or prohibits you from filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or any other government agency that is responsible for enforcing a law on behalf of the government and deems such claims not waivable. However, please understand that, because you are waiving and releasing all claims “for monetary damages and any other form of personal relief” (per Section III above), you may only seek and receive non-personal forms of relief from the EEOC and similar government agencies.
