Terms of Use for Students

jobs4interns (jobs4interns.co.uk) is run by Trusty Hound Tech Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17519728, at One Business Village, 1 Emily Street, Hull, HU9 1ND. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean Trusty Hound Tech Ltd, and "you" means the student using the site.

jobs4interns is a commercial service run for social good. We are not a registered charity or social enterprise, but we set the site up to make placements and internships open to every student, whatever their background or connections.

You can contact us at any time through the contact form on our website.

To create a student account, you must:

• Be 18 or over.
• Be based in the UK.
• Have the right to work in the UK.

jobs4interns only lists placements and internships in the UK. If you are in the UK on a student visa, your visa conditions limit the work you can do. For example, you can only take a full-time placement during term time if it is an integral and assessed part of your course. It is your responsibility to check that any role fits your visa conditions.

You can only have one student account.

Creating a profile, searching for roles, setting job alerts and applying are free.

You must give accurate, up-to-date information on your account, including in your CV. Keep your password private. You are responsible for anything done through your account, so tell us straight away through the contact form if you think someone else has used it.

When you apply for a role, the employer will see your full profile, CV, personal statement and anything else on your account. Only apply for roles you are genuinely interested in.

Some employers use our CV shortlisting service. For those roles, a member of our team reads your application first and decides whether to pass it to the employer.

Unpaid roles. We do not recommend unpaid roles, but some organisations, such as charities, can only offer unpaid experience. These roles are listed in a separate section, are clearly labelled as unpaid, and must cover your expenses. In most cases, an intern doing real work must be paid at least the National Minimum Wage. If you think an employer is breaking this rule, please tell us.

jobs4interns is a place for employers to advertise roles and for students to find and apply for them. We are not your employer, and we are not an employment agency acting for you.

This means:

• Employers write their own listings and are responsible for them. We check new employer accounts, but we cannot guarantee every listing is accurate.
• Employers decide who to interview and hire, and the terms of any placement are between you and the employer.
• We cannot guarantee you will get a placement, an interview or a reply.
• Employers are responsible for checking your right to work. We do not check it.

Staying safe. A genuine employer will never ask you to pay to apply for a role, or ask for your bank details before an offer. If a listing or an employer seems suspicious, do not share your details, and report it to us through the contact form. We will look into every report.

You never have to pay anything to apply for roles. We offer some optional extras, at the prices shown on our website when you buy them:

• Expert career content. Videos and practice questions on CVs, cover letters, social media and interviews. If your university is a member of jobs4interns, you get this free. If not, you can unlock it with a one-off payment, which gives you access for 12 months from the date you pay. It does not renew automatically, and you will never be charged again unless you choose to buy it again.
• One-to-one career coaching. Sessions with an independent graduate career coach, booked singly or as a block. Sessions in a block must be used within 12 months of purchase.

Payments are taken by Stripe. Prices include any VAT that applies.

The law gives you 14 days from purchase to change your mind about buying something online. How this works depends on what you buy.

Expert career content. Because you get access straight away, we will ask you to agree to this when you pay. Once you have agreed and your access has started, you lose the right to cancel, so the payment is not refundable unless the content is faulty or not as described.

Career coaching. You can cancel within 14 days of booking for a full refund, as long as no sessions have taken place. If you ask for a session to take place within those 14 days and then cancel, we will refund you for any sessions not yet used.

After the 14 days:

• You can rearrange a session for free if you tell us at least 24 hours before it starts.
• If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, or do not attend, the session counts as used.
• If your coach cancels, we will rearrange the session or refund it, whichever you prefer.

To cancel or ask for a refund, contact us through the contact form. Refunds go back to the card you paid with, within 14 days of us agreeing them.

Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights if a service is not provided with reasonable care and skill, or if digital content is faulty.

You must not:

• Give false or misleading information, or pretend to be someone else.
• Upload anything offensive, discriminatory, defamatory or unlawful, or anything that infringes someone else's rights.
• Contact employers or other users to harass them, or for any reason other than a genuine application.
• Copy listings, employer details or other content from the site for commercial use, or collect data from it using automated tools.
• Upload viruses or harmful code, or try to access parts of the site or other accounts you are not authorised to use.
• Share the expert career content or your coaching materials with people who have not paid for them.

You own your CV and anything else you upload. You give us permission to store it, display it and send it to employers you apply to, so that we can provide the service. This permission ends when you delete the content or close your account, except for copies already sent to employers.

The design of the site, the expert career content and everything else we create belongs to us or the people who license it to us. You can use it for your own personal career development, but not for anything else without our written permission.

You can close your account at any time in your account settings. Our Privacy Policy explains what happens to your information when you do.

We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud or misuse, or if we need to protect other users. Unless the law or a security risk prevents it, we will tell you why. If we close your account for a reason that is not your fault, we will refund any unused coaching sessions.

If we ever decide to stop running jobs4interns, we will give you at least 30 days' notice.

We will provide jobs4interns with reasonable care and skill. We cannot promise the site will always be available or free of errors, and we may need to take it offline for maintenance.

We are not responsible for:

• What employers say in their listings, how they run their recruitment, or how they treat you during or after a placement.
• Any loss you suffer because you could not access the site for reasons outside our reasonable control.
• Business losses, as jobs4interns is for your personal use.

Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

If something has gone wrong, please tell us through the contact form. We will reply within 10 working days and try to put things right. If your complaint is about how we have used your personal information, our Privacy Policy explains how we handle it and how to contact the Information Commissioner's Office.

We may update these terms, for example when we add new features or the law changes. We will post the new version on our website and email you about any significant change at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you do not agree with the change, you can close your account before then.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in England or Wales, any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can bring proceedings in your local courts.
