Terms of service

The service

StarInterns connects students with companies offering internships. It is in private beta: features can change, and we may pause or close accounts while we test. By creating an account you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy.

Accounts

• You need an invite code to join during the private beta.
• Give accurate details and keep your email account secure, since sign-in codes go there.
• One person per student account. Do not share or sell invite codes.

For students

• Students never pay to use StarInterns.
• Submit your own work. Copying someone else's work or using a submission that is not yours can get your account closed.
• You keep ownership of what you submit. You allow us to store it and show it to the company you applied to, and, if you choose, to show it as a Skill Proof.

For companies

• Post only real internships from a company you are allowed to represent. We review companies before their roles go live.
• Never charge applicants a fee or deposit. Roles that do are removed.
• Respond to each application within 7 days. Applications without a response close automatically and count against your public response rate.
• Use applicant details only to hire for that role, and keep them confidential.
• Task submissions may only be used to assess the applicant, not as free work for your business.

Not allowed

• Spam, scams, harassment or discriminatory listings.
• Scraping, automated sign-ups, or trying to break the service.
• Pretending to be another person or company.

You can report a role from its page. We may remove content and close accounts that break these rules.

No guarantees

We do our best to keep listings genuine, but we do not guarantee that any role leads to an internship or a job, and we are not a party to any agreement between a student and a company. The service is provided as is during the beta.

Closing your account and changes

You can close your account at any time by emailing vivek@ruva.so. We may update these terms and will change the date at the top when we do.
