InternMatch Terms and Conditions

Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms,” “Agreement”) carefully before using the matching services operated by InternMatch (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing the site, registering an account, or checking the registration agreement box, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.

1. Candidate Eligibility & .ac.lk Validation

Domain Requirement: Student registration requires an authentic email address issued by an accredited Sri Lankan higher education institution using the .ac.lk domain or recognized affiliated institutional domain.

Identity Integrity: You may not register on behalf of another individual, share your account credentials, or use an email address that does not belong to you.

2. Progressive Onboarding & High-Friction Evidence

Voluntary Verification: Earning a “Verified” badge requires uploading authentic academic proofs (result sheets, transcripts) and a 45-second video introduction.

Truth in Advertising: Candidates warrant that all listed GPA metrics, examination results, project contributions, and language proficiencies are accurate.

Video Pitch Standards: Video uploads must strictly consist of a professional introduction. Obscene, defamatory, or promotional third-party content will be removed immediately.

3. Employer Terms & Pay-Per-Unlock Model

• Free Posting & Previews: Employers may post internship opportunities, review algorithmic match scores, inspect academic proofs, and watch video pitches free of upfront listing fees.
• Unlock Fees: Accessing a candidate’s direct contact credentials requires purchasing individual unlock credits (LKR 2,000) or an authorized Shortlist Bundle (LKR 6,000 for 5 unlocks; LKR 10,000 for 10 unlocks).
• Single-Role Usage: Candidate bundle unlocks apply strictly to the specific vacancy for which they were redeemed and cannot be transferred across unrelated listings.
• Non-Refundable Model: Unlock fees are non-refundable once contact credentials have been revealed, except in documented cases of fraudulent identity.

4. Reporting & Account Termination

If an employer establishes that an unlocked candidate provided forged documents or fraudulent claims, they may lodge a formal report via the dashboard.

Permanent Ban: Any candidate or recruiter verified to have uploaded falsified documents will face an immediate, permanent ban on their email address across all current and future InternMatch services.

5. Limitation of Liability & Sourcing Intermediary

InternMatch is an information sourcing and algorithmic screening technology. We are not an employment agency or Employer of Record. Hiring organizations remain solely responsible for performing final in-person certificate checks, conducting interviews, and executing legally compliant employment contracts.

6. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. Any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in the Western Province, Sri Lanka.
