Student Terms & Conditions
Pilot Version 1.3 · Effective August 3, 2026
Student Terms and Conditions
IMPORTANT: These Student Terms contain disclaimers, limitations of liability, and terms governing disputes. Please read them carefully. Agreement and Acceptance These Student Terms and Conditions (“Student Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and InternFirst Inc. By creating a Student Account, checking the acceptance box, accessing authenticated student features, applying to an opportunity, purchasing a service, or otherwise using the student-facing Platform, you agree to these Student Terms and acknowledge the Student Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Student Services. Marketing consent and consent to voluntary self-identification data are separate from acceptance of these Student Terms.
1. Company Information and Contact
InternFirst Inc., a Delaware corporation foreign-qualified to do business in North Carolina Business and correspondence address: 131 Continental Drive, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, New Castle County Registered Agent: United States Corporation Agents, Inc. Email: lukebaltzell@intern-first.com Telephone: InternFirst does not currently offer telephone support or a telephone privacy-request line. Requests may be submitted through the account controls described below or by email. Where applicable law requires another request method, InternFirst will provide it.
2. Definitions
“Platform” means InternFirst’s websites, authenticated portals, applications, communications features, recruiting tools, and related services. “Student” means a natural person who is pursuing higher education at an accredited college or university and has a valid .edu email address that the institution currently authorizes that person to use. “Student Services” means the student-facing portions of the Platform, including job discovery, applications, messaging, interview scheduling, profile tools, matching information, career resources, and any paid student offerings. “Employer” means an organization and its authorized representatives using the Platform to recruit or engage students.
3. Eligibility and Student Verification
otherwise.
Student eligibility ends when you are no longer authorized to use your institution’s .edu email address. InternFirst may periodically require re-verification and may suspend or close an account that no longer meets the eligibility requirements. Losing eligibility does not eliminate obligations or records that must reasonably be retained under these Student Terms or the Student Privacy Policy. Email-domain verification confirms only that the supplied email satisfied InternFirst’s process. It is not a guarantee of identity, enrollment, graduation, accreditation status, qualifications, or endorsement by a school.
4. Pilot Status and Changes to Features
The Platform is being offered during a pilot phase. Features may be incomplete, changed, tested, limited, unavailable, or discontinued. Pilot participation does not guarantee continued access to any feature, pricing, or future version. InternFirst may impose reasonable limits to protect security, capacity, and integrity.
5. InternFirst’s Role
InternFirst provides recruiting technology that helps students discover opportunities, submit applications, communicate with employers, schedule interviews, and manage recruiting activity. InternFirst is not the employer, does not supervise internships, does not control workplace conditions, and is not a party to an internship, employment, volunteer, contractor, or other working relationship merely because the parties met or communicated through the Platform. InternFirst’s Employer verification process may compare an Employer user’s work-email domain with the domain associated with the company website submitted during signup. Accounts with nonmatching or inconclusive domains are flagged for manual review and remain pending until that review is complete, and InternFirst may manually review any account. However, InternFirst does not guarantee that an Employer, representative, listing, event, communication, or opportunity is genuine, lawful, safe, current, or suitable. InternFirst does not guarantee that you will receive a response, interview, offer, internship, compensation, academic credit, sponsorship, or future employment.
6. Account Registration, Credentials, and Security
first.com.
You are responsible for activity through your account to the extent permitted by law. InternFirst may require password resets, reauthentication, additional verification, or other security measures.
7. Identity, Profile Accuracy, and Impersonation
You must represent yourself truthfully. You may not misrepresent yourself as another student or person, use another person’s name, photograph, video, resume, education, experience, credentials, or contact information without authorization, or permit another person to apply, communicate, interview, or complete an assessment while pretending to be you. You may not falsely claim enrollment, graduation, academic affiliation, degree status, work authorization, sponsorship status, skills, certifications, projects, accomplishments, or employment history. A material misrepresentation may result in immediate suspension, cancellation of applications, notice to an affected Employer or institution where appropriate, preservation of relevant records, and referral to law enforcement.
8. Student Profile and Student Content
“Student Content” includes your profile, biography, major, graduation year, skills, experience history, projects, organizations, career goals, avatar, resume, application materials, messages, videos, links, and feedback. You retain ownership of your original Student Content. You grant InternFirst a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, format, transmit, display, and process Student Content as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, support, analyze, and improve the Platform; submit applications at your direction; facilitate messages and interviews; generate match scores and recommendations; prevent fraud; enforce policies; and comply with law. You represent that you own or have permission to provide Student Content and that it does not infringe privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, confidentiality, or other rights. Do not upload Social Security numbers, government-identification numbers, payment-card information, passwords, detailed medical records, or confidential third-party information unless the Platform expressly requests it for a legitimate purpose.
9. Resumes, Files, and Employer Downloads
When you apply to an Employer’s listing, you direct InternFirst to make your application, permitted profile information, resume, and match score available to authorized users associated with that Employer. Employers may download your resume and retain a copy in their own recruiting or recordkeeping systems. InternFirst cannot automatically delete or control a copy that an Employer has lawfully downloaded. Employers are contractually restricted to legitimate recruiting and hiring uses, but you should review your resume and avoid including unnecessary sensitive information. Account deletion or application withdrawal may stop future Platform access, but may not require an Employer to delete information it must lawfully retain or has another legitimate basis to keep. InternFirst stores uploaded resumes, avatars, and other files in private, access-controlled storage. The Platform may provide authorized access through authenticated requests or private, short-lived file URLs that expire after a limited period. These access controls do not prevent an Employer from retaining a resume it lawfully downloads after you apply.
10. Applications and Employer Access
Submitting an application authorizes InternFirst to provide the application and permitted profile information to the Employer that owns the listing. Authorized Employer users may review the application, download the resume, create internal notes, move the application through recruiting stages, send messages, and schedule interviews. Withdrawing an application may stop active consideration within the Platform but will not necessarily erase records already created or downloaded. Employers are responsible for their own recruiting records and legal retention obligations.
11. Voluntary Self-Identification Information
InternFirst may offer an optional questionnaire concerning ethnicity, race, gender, veteran status, disability status, work authorization, and sponsorship needs. Participation is voluntary, each question may be declined, and the information is visible only to you through the ordinary Platform interface.

12. Match Scores, Explanations, and Job Ranking
InternFirst may calculate a match score using job-related profile and listing information, such as skills, major, experience, education level, location, availability, and stated requirements. A match score is an informational estimate, not a certification, consumer report, final employment decision, or guarantee of an interview or offer. The detailed matching formula, source code, exact weights, anti-fraud controls, and proprietary methodology are confidential and accessible only to authorized InternFirst personnel. You may request a high-level explanation of the principal factors affecting a particular match score or request correction of inaccurate profile information by emailing lukebaltzell@intern-first.com. InternFirst may provide an explanation without disclosing trade secrets or information that would undermine platform integrity. Job listings may be ranked using relevance, engagement, quality, pricing or promotion tier, freshness, and integrity or operational factors. Paid placement may affect visibility but is not an endorsement or guarantee.
13. Messaging, Interviews, and Appointments
The Platform may provide messaging, reminders, calendar tools, and interview scheduling. Messages are ordinarily visible to the sender and recipient. InternFirst and its service providers may access communications when reasonably necessary for support, security, abuse investigation, policy enforcement, or legal compliance. InternFirst is not responsible for a missed interview, late arrival, scheduling conflict, technical problem, or failure by either party to attend. A missed interview must be rescheduled and addressed between you and the Employer. InternFirst does not guarantee that an Employer will agree to reschedule.
14. Paid Services, Subscriptions, Stripe, and Refunds
InternFirst may offer paid student services, subscriptions, coaching, resume review, interview preparation, or other offerings. The price, term, included features, and any additional service-specific terms will be shown before purchase. Payments may be processed by Stripe, including Link. InternFirst does not store full payment-card numbers or card-security codes. InternFirst may store Stripe customer, payment-method, transaction, invoice, amount, status, and billing references. If a subscription automatically renews, the checkout will disclose the renewal frequency and price. You may cancel through the “Cancel Subscription” button in account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless the checkout states otherwise or law requires a different result. Except where required by law or expressly stated at checkout, fees are nonrefundable and no prorated refund is provided after cancellation. InternFirst’s C-Suite, or an authorized designee, may approve a special-case refund, credit, or accommodation in its discretion and subject to applicable law. A discretionary exception does not create a right to future exceptions.

16. InternFirst Intellectual Property
InternFirst and its licensors own the Platform and associated software, databases, interfaces, designs, graphics, text created by InternFirst, workflows, compilations, matching and ranking systems, reports, trademarks, logos, and other proprietary materials, excluding User Content. Subject to these Student Terms, InternFirst grants you a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Student Services for legitimate educational and career purposes.
17. Third-Party Services and Content
The Platform may use or link to third-party services, including Supabase and Stripe. Third parties have their own terms and privacy practices. InternFirst is not responsible for third-party services, outages, content, or security except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.
18. Copyright and Intellectual-Property Complaints
Copyright or other intellectual-property complaints may be sent to lukebaltzell@intern-first.com or mailed to 131 Continental Drive, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, New Castle County. The notice should identify the protected work, the challenged material and its location, the complainant’s contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement of accuracy and authority, and a signature.
19. Privacy
The Student Privacy Policy explains how InternFirst collects, uses, discloses, secures, and retains student personal information. The Privacy Policy is incorporated for notice purposes but does not convert every statement into a contractual warranty beyond applicable law.
20. Account Deletion, Suspension, and Termination
You may initiate account deletion using the “Delete Account” button. Deletion removes your account from active use and schedules profile information for deletion. InternFirst may retain profile information in restricted form for up to six months to permit restoration if you re-enroll or regain eligibility. You may request earlier permanent deletion by emailing lukebaltzell@intern-first.com, subject to legal, security, transaction, dispute, and backup exceptions. InternFirst may restrict, suspend, or terminate an account, remove content, cancel applications, or preserve records if it reasonably believes there has been fraud, impersonation, data misuse, security risk, nonpayment, ineligibility, a material violation, or a need to protect users or comply with law. When appropriate, an appeal may be submitted to lukebaltzell@intern-first.com.
21. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM AND STUDENT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” INTERNFIRST DISCLAIMS EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND RESULTS.
INTERNFIRST DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST OR ACCESSED WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION; THAT LISTINGS, EMPLOYERS, USERS, MATCH SCORES, OR STATUS UPDATES ARE ACCURATE; THAT A STUDENT WILL SECURE AN INTERNSHIP, INTERVIEW, OFFER, OR EMPLOYMENT; OR THAT ANY EMPLOYER-STUDENT INTERACTION OR WORKING RELATIONSHIP WILL BE SAFE, SATISFACTORY, OR SUCCESSFUL.
22. No Liability for Employer-Student Outcomes
To the maximum extent permitted by law, InternFirst is not liable for whether a Student secures an internship; whether an Employer responds or finds a qualified intern; or the acts, omissions, representations, harassment, discrimination, safety practices, payment practices, work conditions, supervision, termination decisions, or other conduct arising from any Employer-Student interaction or working relationship. Nothing in these Student Terms waives liability that cannot lawfully be waived.
23. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTERNFIRST AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, OPPORTUNITIES, DATA, OR REPUTATION; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM AN EMPLOYER-STUDENT INTERACTION OR WORKING RELATIONSHIP. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTERNFIRST’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE STUDENT SERVICES OR THESE STUDENT TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO INTERNFIRST FOR STUDENT SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS. The limitations do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
24. Student Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless InternFirst and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, penalties, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your fraud, impersonation, unlawful use, intentional misconduct, infringement of another person’s rights, violation of privacy or confidentiality, or material breach of these Student Terms. InternFirst will provide reasonable notice and may control the defense.
25. Governing Law and Disputes
These Student Terms are governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer-protection and privacy laws of your state of residence remain applicable to the extent they cannot lawfully be waived. Subject to applicable law and an eligible small-claims right, disputes may be brought in the state courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. A consumer may bring a claim in another court where mandatory law requires or permits that forum and the forum-selection provision cannot lawfully be enforced. Either party may seek injunctive relief in a court with jurisdiction to address unauthorized access, impersonation, data misuse, or intellectual-property infringement. These Student Terms do not shorten any statute of limitations or other filing period provided by applicable law.
26. Changes to These Student Terms
InternFirst may update these Student Terms prospectively. Material changes will be communicated by email, in-product notice, or another conspicuous method before taking effect. InternFirst may require affirmative reacceptance for material changes involving payments, dispute terms, content rights, or datause obligations. InternFirst will not rely on a general amendment clause to retroactively authorize materially different uses of previously collected personal information where notice or consent is required.
27. Electronic Communications
You consent to receive transactional communications electronically, including verification, security, application, interview, billing, policy, and legal notices. Promotional communications are subject to applicable consent and unsubscribe rights.
28. Miscellaneous
You may not assign these Student Terms or transfer your account without InternFirst’s written consent. InternFirst may assign these Student Terms in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale of the Platform, subject to applicable privacy obligations. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder will remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Student Terms, applicable checkout terms, and incorporated policies constitute the agreement concerning the Student Services.
