Terms and Conditions

Revised as of September 2026

These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern the access to and use of the web application known as Internly, including the website located at internly.io and all of its subdomains (collectively, the “Platform”), which is owned and operated by Vision Solutions Technology Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “our,” and “we”). The Privacy Policy of the Platform is incorporated into and forms an integral part of these Terms.

By creating an account on, accessing, or otherwise using the Platform, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.

A. Definitions

  • “Student” means a User registered on the Platform for the purpose of seeking a student internship or on-the-job training placement in partial fulfillment of an academic requirement of the Institution in which the Student is enrolled.
  • “Institution” means the higher education institution in which a Student is enrolled.
  • “Host Training Establishment” or “Establishment” means a User registered on the Platform on behalf of a company, organization, agency or other entity qualified under the CHED Rules to accept and train student interns, for the purpose of publishing Listings and receiving applications. An Establishment is not an employer of any Student, and does not become one by reason of any Listing, application, or placement made through the Platform.
  • “Listing” means a student internship or on-the-job training opportunity published on the Platform by an Establishment. A Listing is not an offer of employment and must not be described as one.
  • “Credits” means the units of account purchased by an Establishment and consumed in publishing or promoting Listings.
  • “User” means any person who accesses or uses the Platform, whether or not registered, and includes Students and Establishments.

B. Eligibility and Account Registration

  • You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in order to register for, or use, the Platform. The Company does not knowingly permit the registration of minors, and will disable any account found to belong to a person below eighteen (18) years of age.
  • You may maintain only one account. You must provide information that is true, accurate, current and complete, and you must keep it updated.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your sign-in credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify the Company immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
  • A person registering as an Establishment represents and warrants that they are duly authorized to act on behalf of the company or organization concerned, and that the Company may rely on that representation.
  • Establishments and Students who register and use the Platform represent and warrant that they comply with applicable law and all rules and regulations pertaining to student internships, particularly Commission on Higher Education (“CHED”) Memorandum Order No. 104, series of 2017, on the Student Internship Program in the Philippines (“SIPP”) and, in respect of international students, CHED Memorandum Order No. 10, series of 2023, together with their implementing and successor issuances (collectively, the “CHED Rules”), as the same may be amended from time to time.

C. Nature of the Service

The Platform is a listing and matching service only. The Company is not a party to any internship contract between a Student and an Establishment, memorandum of agreement between an Institution and an Establishment, or any internship or on-the-job training arrangement. The Company is not an employer, a training establishment, an employment agency, a private recruitment or placement agency, a manpower contractor, or an educational institution, and does not hold itself out as any of these.

No employer-employee relationship. A Student who undertakes an internship or on-the-job training with an Establishment does so as a student trainee in fulfillment of an academic requirement under the CHED Rules, and not as an employee, worker, or applicant for employment. No employer-employee relationship exists or arises between a Student and an Establishment, or between a Student and the Company, by reason of any Listing, application, placement, stipend, allowance, or certificate obtained through the Platform. Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer of employment, and no Listing shall be construed as a job advertisement.

The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any Student will be offered or will secure a placement, that any Listing corresponds to an available or suitable opportunity, that any Establishment will respond to an application, or that any hours completed through a placement obtained on the Platform will be credited by any school, university, or regulatory body. Any determination as to the academic crediting for on-the-job training rests exclusively with the Institution and is subject to the Student's and the Establishment's compliance with the CHED Rules and the Institution's SIPP rules.

Any agreement, memorandum of agreement, training plan, stipend, allowance, or other arrangement between a Student and an Establishment is concluded solely between them. The Company is not responsible for its negotiation, performance, breach, or termination.

D. Obligations of Students

  • You must ensure that your profile, résumé, stated skills, academic standing, and experience are truthful and not misleading. Misrepresentation of academic standing or credentials is a material breach of these Terms.
  • You must not impersonate any person, create an account on behalf of another person without authority, or upload any document belonging to another person.
  • You are responsible for your own conduct in any application process and in any placement you obtain, and for observing the reasonable rules of the Establishment and of your Institution.
  • You should exercise ordinary prudence in dealing with Establishments. You must not remit money, surrender original documents, or disclose banking credentials to any Establishment, and you should report any Establishment that asks you to do so.
  • You must comply at all times with the CHED Rules, applicable law, and all applicable rules and regulations.

E. Obligations of Establishments

  • Every Listing must correspond to a genuine and currently available opportunity within the Establishment's own organization. Speculative Listings, which are Listings published to build a database of applicants, and Listings for opportunities with a third party that has not authorized their publication, are prohibited.
  • Every document submitted for verification must be authentic, unaltered, and lawfully in the Establishment's possession. Submitting a falsified, borrowed, or altered document is a material breach of these Terms and may constitute a criminal offence.
  • An Establishment that attests to the provision of supervision for a Student represents that a named supervisor will in fact be assigned and that the Student will receive meaningful and supervised training related to the field described in the Listing. That attestation is a binding representation relied upon by the Company and by Students.
  • An Establishment must not charge, solicit or accept any fee, deposit, bond, training fee, uniform fee, placement fee, or other payment of any kind from a Student in connection with an application, a placement, or the issuance of any certificate. This prohibition admits of no exception and its breach will result in immediate and permanent termination of the Establishment's right to use the Platform. The Establishment that is found guilty may be subject to sanctions and liabilities.
  • Listings and screening questions must not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, civil status, pregnancy, age, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation, disability, health status, or any other ground prohibited by Philippine law, and must not solicit sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary.
  • An Establishment must comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing student internships and on-the-job training, including the CHED Rules and the relevant issuances of the Commission on Higher Education, and with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 in respect of all Student data it receives.
  • Personal data received through an application may be used solely for the purpose of evaluating that application. It must not be used for marketing, sold, disclosed to any third party, or retained beyond the period necessary for that purpose.
  • The Establishment must comply at all times with the CHED Rules, applicable law, and all applicable rules and regulations. Any Establishment found to have violated the CHED Rules may be sanctioned or black-listed from SIPP.
  • The Establishment must submit the following documents before its first Listing can be approved for publication:
    • its Internship Program or training plan;
    • a duly executed and notarized Memorandum of Agreement with the Institution, as required under the CHED Rules; and
    • its Internship Contract template.

The execution of a duly notarized Memorandum of Agreement between the Establishment and the Institution is a mandatory requirement under the CHED Rules. The Establishment acknowledges that no placement of a Student may commence unless such a Memorandum of Agreement is in force between the Establishment and that Student's Institution. The Company does not execute, procure, notarize, or become a party to any Memorandum of Agreement, and the approval of a Listing on the Platform is neither a substitute for one nor a representation that one exists.

F. Prohibited Conduct

In using the Platform, you must not:

  • Access the Platform by automated means, including scraping, crawling, or the use of bots, or extract data in bulk, except as expressly permitted in writing by the Company;
  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security feature, access control, rate limit, verification requirement, or payment mechanism of the Platform;
  • Upload or transmit any malware, or any content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, threatening, or infringing of the rights of another;
  • Send unsolicited commercial messages to other Users;
  • Sell, resell, sublicense, rent, or otherwise transfer your account or your access to the Platform;
  • Use the Platform to solicit Users for any purpose unrelated to internships and on-the-job training, including multi-level marketing, investment schemes, or the sale of goods; or
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Platform, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by law.

G. Credits and Payments

  • Credits are purchased by Establishments in Philippine Pesos through the Company's third-party payment processor. Prices are as displayed at the time of purchase and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.
  • Credits purchase visibility on the Platform only. They do not purchase, guarantee, or secure applicants, applications, placements, or the execution of any Memorandum of Agreement, and no Credit entitles an Establishment to any particular outcome.
  • Credits are non-refundable, non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and carry no cash value once credited to an Establishment's account. They may be used only on the Platform and only by the account to which they were credited.
  • The Company may, at its sole discretion and without obligation, reverse a charge that is duplicated, erroneous, or the result of a technical failure of the Platform. Any such request must be raised within thirty (30) days of the charge transaction.
  • Credits remaining in an account expire and are forfeited upon the closure or termination of that account, howsoever occasioned.
  • The Company may vary the price of Credits and the number of Credits consumed by any feature on prospective notice. Any such change does not affect Credits already purchased.
  • Initiating a chargeback in respect of a legitimate purchase, in place of raising the matter with the Company, constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in the immediate suspension of the account and the forfeiture of its Credits.

H. Content and Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos and marks, is the property of the Company, or its service providers or suppliers, and is protected by the intellectual property laws of the Republic of the Philippines and by international treaties. Nothing in these Terms transfers any right, title or interest in the Platform to you.

You retain ownership of the content you submit to the Platform, including your profile, résumé and Listings. You grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, and display that content solely for the purposes of operating, securing, and improving the Platform and of providing the features described in the Privacy Policy. That license terminates when the content is deleted, save for copies already transmitted to an Establishment, and for backup copies retained for the periods stated in the Privacy Policy.

Listing text generated with the assistance of the Platform's artificial intelligence features is provided as a drafting aid only. The Establishment remains solely responsible for reviewing, correcting, and publishing it, and warrants its accuracy and lawfulness upon publication.

I. Reporting and Moderation

Any User may report a Listing, an Establishment, or another User that they believe to be fraudulent, exploitative, discriminatory, or otherwise in breach of these Terms, using the contact details in Section P. The Company may, but is not obliged to, review, moderate, edit, or remove any Listing or content, and may verify or decline to verify any Establishment, in each case at its sole discretion and without notice. The Company does not undertake to review every Listing or every User, and the exercise or non-exercise of this discretion does not create any duty of care.

J. Disclaimers

The Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty as to the uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free operation of the Platform.

The Company does not warrant the identity, legitimacy, solvency, conduct, or suitability of any Establishment or of any Student, nor the accuracy, completeness or legality of any Listing, profile, résumé, or other content submitted by a User. Verification of an Establishment indicates only that documents were submitted and reviewed at a point in time. It is not a guarantee, endorsement, certification, or continuing representation as to that Establishment, its conduct, or the quality or safety of any placement it offers.

K. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, academic credit, or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Platform, whether based on contract, tort, quasi-delict, statute or otherwise, and whether or not the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of the Company arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by you to the Company in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or Five Thousand Philippine Pesos (PHP 5,000.00), whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Philippine law, including liability for fraud or for willful misconduct.

L. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold free and harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, action, liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with (i) your content or your use of the Platform, (ii) your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law, or (iii) your conduct toward, or any dispute with, another User.

M. Suspension and Termination

You may close your account at any time. The Company may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, with or without notice, where it reasonably believes that you have breached these Terms, that your account is being used fraudulently or unlawfully, or that continued access poses a risk to other Users or to the Platform. Termination does not entitle you to any refund, and does not affect any right or obligation that accrued before it. Sections G, H, J, K, L and O survive the termination of these Terms.

The treatment of your personal data following the closure or termination of your account is governed by the retention provisions of the Privacy Policy.

N. Changes to these Terms

The Company may amend these Terms from time to time. Any amendment takes effect upon its publication on the Platform, and your continued access to, or use of, the Platform following publication constitutes your acceptance of the amended Terms. Where an amendment is material, the Company will take reasonable steps to notify registered Users.

O. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any action arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be brought exclusively before the proper courts of Makati City, to the exclusion of all other venues.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

The Platform is owned and operated by Vision Solutions Technology Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, with principal office in Makati City, Philippines.
