Terms of service

The deal between you and UTern.

These terms cover utern.ai and the UTern Apply Mode Chrome extension. By creating an account or using the product, you agree to them. We wrote them in plain English on purpose.

Last updated: June 7, 2026

The short version

One paragraph if you’re in a hurry

UTern is a free tool that helps students find internships and apply to them. You keep ownership of everything you give us. Bob drafts and fills, but the final submit is always your click. Don't abuse the service or use it to break the law, and we'll keep it running for you. Either of us can end the relationship at any time.

Eligibility

Who can use UTern

UTern is intended for students and job seekers who are at least 16 years old. By using it, you confirm that the information in your profile is accurate and that you have the right to share the documents you upload, including your résumé.

Your account

Keeping your account secure

  • You're responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your login credentials private.
  • Tell us at contact@utern.ai if you suspect unauthorized access.
  • One person, one account. Don't share logins or impersonate someone else.

What you can expect

Our commitments to you

  • Free core product: Discover, saved roles, the application tracker, and Bob are free for students. Premium only adds unlimited voice mock interviews.
  • Honest match scores: Bob never inflates your fit score.
  • You press submit: Apply Mode fills applications locally and never auto-submits them on your behalf.
  • Your data stays yours: as described in our Privacy Policy.

Acceptable use

What you agree not to do

  • Don't scrape, resell, or redistribute internship listings or other content from UTern.
  • Don't submit false information in applications or use UTern to deceive employers.
  • Don't attempt to reverse-engineer, overload, or interfere with the service, or access it through automated means we haven't authorized.
  • Don't use UTern for anything illegal or to harass others.

AI-generated content

Drafts, fills, and your judgment

Bob generates draft cover letters, outreach, follow-ups, and answers, and fills application fields for you. These are drafts. You're responsible for reviewing everything for accuracy and tone before you send or submit it. UTern isn't responsible for the outcome of any application.

Content and ownership

Who owns what

  • Your content stays yours. You grant us a limited license to use it only to provide the service — finding roles, filling applications, and drafting answers.
  • The product is ours. The UTern name, design, and software are owned by UTern and SparkTech Studios.

Disclaimers

No guarantee of a job

UTern helps you discover and apply to internships, but we don't guarantee interviews, offers, or employment. Listings come from third-party sources and may be out of date or inaccurate. The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Liability

Limits on liability

To the extent permitted by law, UTern and SparkTech Studios are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Because the core product is free, our total liability is limited to the amount you've paid us in the past twelve months (which, for most users, is nothing).

Ending the relationship

Termination

You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Account, or by emailing contact@utern.ai. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (ownership, disclaimers, liability) will continue to apply.

Changes

Updates to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update the “last updated” date above and, for material changes, notify signed-in users by email before the change takes effect. Continuing to use UTern after a change means you accept the updated terms.
