8. AI Services Disclaimer

InternPick utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technology to assist in reviewing internship listings, moderating content, and providing general guidance to users. AI-generated reviews, flags, and recommendations are assistive tools only and do not constitute legal advice, compliance certification, or guarantee of regulatory compliance.

AI moderation may not identify all potential issues or legal violations. Employers remain solely and fully responsible for ensuring that their internship offerings comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to the Fair Labor Standards Act, Department of Labor regulations, and state-specific youth employment laws.

InternPick makes no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated content or analysis.

Nothing on the Platform — including but not limited to the Internship Rules page, AI moderation results, compliance warnings, or educational content — constitutes legal, tax, financial, or professional advice. All information provided is for educational and informational purposes only.

Users should consult with qualified legal counsel, tax advisors, and/or compliance professionals before making decisions regarding internship programs, compensation structures, or labor law compliance.

10. Third-Party Relationships

InternPick is not an employer, employment agency, staffing company, or educational institution. We do not employ, supervise, or control any Students or interns who use the Platform. We do not endorse, recommend, or guarantee any Employer, internship opportunity, or Student profile listed on the Platform.

Each Employer is independently responsible for the legality, safety, and ethical conduct of their internship programs. Each Student (and their parent or legal guardian, as applicable) is independently responsible for evaluating the suitability and safety of any internship opportunity.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes through the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
