Platform Facilitator Agreement & Liability Notice

1. Introduction

This Platform Facilitator Agreement & Liability Notice (“Agreement”) describes how InternPick.com (“InternPick,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides its software and listing services to schools, districts, students, host employers, and other users.

InternPick is a technology platform that helps parties discover, communicate about, and coordinate work-based learning and internship programs. We facilitate connections and workflows — we are not a school, district, employer, placement agency, insurer, broker, supervisor, or guarantor of any outcome.

By creating an account, accepting an invitation, or using the Service, you agree to this Agreement, our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy. If you use the Service on behalf of a school or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

Digital signatures and checkbox acknowledgments collected in InternPick onboarding flows constitute your electronic acceptance where permitted by applicable law.

2. Definitions

• “Service” means InternPick.com, related applications, and support we provide.
• “School” means a K–12 school, district, or authorized educational organization using InternPick.
• “Host” or “host employer” means a business or organization offering an internship, mentorship, or work-based learning opportunity through the Service.
• “Student” means a learner participating in a program coordinated through a School on InternPick.
• “Placement” or “program” means any internship, externship, job shadow, mentorship, or similar activity arranged or tracked through the Service.
• “User content” means information, listings, policies, messages, signatures, and documents you or your organization submit.

3. InternPick’s role — facilitator only

InternPick is a technology platform and listing service — similar to how a real-estate marketplace connects buyers and sellers. We facilitate discovery, communication, and paperwork between schools, students, and host employers. We are not a school, employer, placement agency, insurer, broker, or guarantor of any outcome. All parties use the site at their own risk.

InternPick does not employ students, assign grades or credit, supervise workplaces, inspect host sites, verify host credentials, or guarantee that any listing, host, student, or opportunity is safe, lawful, accurate, or suitable.

Any relationship formed through the Service — including between a School and Student, School and Host, or Student and Host — is solely between those parties. InternPick is not a party to those relationships unless we expressly say otherwise in a separate written contract signed by InternPick.

InternPick does not provide legal, insurance, safety, labor, or academic advice. Schools, hosts, students, and guardians must obtain their own professional guidance and verify all material facts before acting.

4. No agency, employment, or partnership

Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary relationship, or employment relationship between InternPick and any School, Host, Student, or guardian.

InternPick personnel do not act as agents of any School or district. Users may not represent that InternPick endorses, employs, vouches for, or guarantees any particular host, student, or placement.

5. School and district responsibilities

• Approve, supervise, and monitor student participation in programs according to applicable law, board policy, and district work-based learning requirements.
• Verify student eligibility, obtain required parent or guardian consents, and comply with FERPA and applicable student-privacy laws.
• Conduct due diligence on host employers and placements, including safety, suitability, and compliance with child-labor and work-based learning rules.
• Award academic credit, maintain official records, and remain the school of record for enrolled students.
• Maintain appropriate liability insurance and require host waivers or agreements where your policy requires them.
• Ensure that information entered about your school, staff, students, and programs is accurate and that access permissions are configured appropriately.

6. Host employer responsibilities

• Provide a safe, lawful workplace and adequate supervision for participating students.
• Comply with applicable labor, wage, hour, anti-discrimination, and occupational safety laws.
• Maintain appropriate insurance and use host-specific waivers, agreements, or releases where required.
• Accurately describe opportunities, schedules, expectations, and supervision on InternPick.
• Report safety concerns promptly to the coordinating School and follow School direction regarding student participation.

7. Student and guardian responsibilities

• Follow School rules, host employer rules, attendance requirements, and applicable codes of conduct.
• Provide accurate profile information and log hours or activities honestly when required.
• Arrange transportation and personal equipment unless otherwise agreed between the School and Host.
• Promptly report unsafe conditions, harassment, or concerns to the School coordinator and use in-product safety tools where available.
• Guardians remain responsible for supervising minors outside of host and school-directed activities as applicable under district policy.

8. Waivers, releases, and insurance

Each School, Host, Student, and guardian is responsible for obtaining and maintaining any waivers, permission forms, releases, background checks, and insurance coverage required by law, district policy, or the nature of the placement.

InternPick does not provide general liability, workers’ compensation, student accident, or professional liability insurance for placements or activities arranged through the Service.

If a School configures insurance badges or summaries in InternPick, those displays are based on self-reported School data. InternPick does not independently verify insurance unless we expressly state otherwise in writing.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each user assumes the risks inherent in work-based learning, internships, travel to host sites, and interactions with third parties discovered through the Service.

9. Data collection and use

InternPick collects and processes information necessary to operate the Service — including account details, school and program data, communications, usage logs, and documents you choose to upload.

We use this information to authenticate users, display listings and profiles according to your settings, coordinate workflows you enable, secure the platform, comply with law, and improve reliability.

InternPick does not sell personal information. We do not sell student data for advertising or cross-context behavioral targeting.

We may share information with service providers who help us host, store, email, or secure the Service under contractual confidentiality and security obligations, and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

Schools remain responsible for providing appropriate notice and obtaining required consents before entering student information, consistent with FERPA and applicable state student-privacy laws.

10. User content and reliance

You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of user content you submit. InternPick may remove content that violates this Agreement or poses risk to users, but we are not obligated to monitor all submissions.

Listings, program descriptions, badges, and third-party information are provided “as posted.” You should not rely on the Service as a substitute for independent verification, site visits, reference checks, or counsel review.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

INTERNPICK DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTERNPICK AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR ANY PLACEMENT, INTERNSHIP, INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, DISPUTE, OR OUTCOME CONNECTED TO USE OF THE SERVICE.

INTERNPICK’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO INTERNPICK FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

These limits apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if InternPick has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless InternPick from any claim, loss, liability, damage, judgment, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (i) your use of the Service; (ii) user content or data you submit; (iii) any placement, internship, or work-based learning activity you authorize, host, supervise, or participate in; or (iv) your violation of this Agreement or applicable law.

Schools additionally agree to indemnify InternPick for claims arising from their programs, student supervision decisions, and relationships with hosts and students.

14. Changes to this Agreement

InternPick may update this Agreement from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, law, or business practices.

When we make material changes, we will post the updated Agreement on this page with a revised “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify account holders through the Service or by email.

Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement. If you do not agree to an update, you must stop using the Service and may request account deletion as described in-product.

School account owners should review updates promptly and share relevant changes with district counsel, coordinators, and participating hosts as needed.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct we believe violates this Agreement or poses risk to users or the platform.

School account owners may delete their school account under Settings → Profile. Deletion removes associated school data from InternPick as described in-product.

Provisions that by nature should survive termination — including facilitator disclaimers, data commitments in Section 9, limitations of liability, and indemnification — will survive.

16. Governing law; entire agreement

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protections apply.

Except where prohibited, you agree that disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

This Agreement, together with the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and InternPick regarding the Service unless superseded by a separate written agreement signed by InternPick.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
