Davis Hosiery Mills has each new employee sign a form acknowledging receipt of the company's handbook. The handbook states that employees will be terminated for good cause only. It also contains a disclaimer, in small print, which informs the employee that the employment relationship is "at will." An employee of Davis Hosiery sues for wrongful termination.

C) Depending on the statutes or court decisions in the state where Davis Hosiery is located, the employee can proceed with the lawsuit because the disclaimer was neither prominent nor conspicuous.
