Full ESTA statement
Travellers can only apply for an ESTA if they agree to all the terms in this statement. Are you filling in the form on behalf of someone else? Read this statement out in full to the person in question. Then, indicate in the form whether this person agrees to it.
I, the traveller to whom this part of the ESTA form relates, hereby state that:
I have read and understood all the questions and answers in the ESTA form which relate to me as well as this statement, or have had it read to me,
I have truthfully and in good conscience filled in the part of the ESTA form that relates to me with up-to-date and correct information,
I understand and accept that the validity of an ESTA can at all times be withdrawn without a reason needing to be provided, for example (but not exclusively) based on new information, which affects the qualification for an ESTA,
I understand and accept that I can be subjected to administrative or criminal sanctions if a false statement or presentation of facts is knowingly and intentionally provided in an ESTA application submitted by me or in my name,
during my entire stay in the United States on an ESTA travel authorisation, I will not accept any work, will not enter into employment, will not follow an education and will not represent foreign media,
during my stay in the United States, I will not submit an application to change my non-immigrant status, or apply for an extension of the maximum length of stay, or apply for a temporary or permanent resident permit, unless I qualify for it based on article 245(c)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act,
I understand that a possible rejection of my ESTA travel authorisation does not exclude the possibility to apply for a visa to travel to the United States,
I wave all rights for the entirety of the validity term of the ESTA to review or appeal the decision of (an employee of) U.S. Customs & Border Protection regarding my admissibility, or to, other than based on an asylum application, fight deportation procedures that issue from an application for admission under the Visa Waiver Program,
I understand and accept that granting of my ESTA application does not guarantee that I am allowed into the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, as an employee of U.S. Customs & Border Protection can deny me entry to the United States on arrival if they see cause to do so, without needing to provide a reason,
on arrival in the United States I will allow biometric identification to be taken by U.S. Customs & Border Protection, including fingerprints and photos, with which I will again confirm to agree with the terms in this statement,
I will allow U.S. Customs & Border Protection to perform checks during the assessment of an ESTA application based on law enforcement databases,
I agree and accept that if found in violation of this statement I will be DEPORTED from the United States

Explanation: background question 2
Do you have a criminal record? This does not necessarily mean you cannot apply for an ESTA. Only if you have been convicted of a crime that has resulted in serious material damage or serious injury to another person, or damage to a government agency, are you unable to apply for an ESTA. Offences such as traffic offences or (traffic) fines do not prevent you from applying for an ESTA, unless they led to serious material damage or serious injury to another person.
