Terms of Use

Diplace (the Platform) is an international aggregator of opportunities for young people. We collect and publish links to internships, grants, contests, sports and cultural events from open sources and partners.

Diplace is an information intermediary: we are not the organizer of the published opportunities. Decisions on admission, participation terms, deadlines and pricing are made by the respective organizers on their own resources.

Browsing the catalog is open to everyone without registration. The Platform is intended for youth and school students of all grades.

Accounts are created via Google sign-in. The minimum age for an account is 14. If you are 14 to 17, you use the free features on your own and pay for a subscription with your own money or with a parent's consent. A parent or legal guardian may at any time ask us to delete the account and, if the subscription was paid for by a minor, to refund the payment in full (section 5 of the offer).

When signing in you accept the Terms and the Privacy Policy and confirm that you are at least 14 and that, if you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian agrees to your use of the service and to the processing of your personal data: this is stated next to the sign-in button, and tapping the button means you agree. We store the date of that confirmation and the edition of the documents in your profile. If we learn that an account was created by someone under 14, we delete the account and the data linked to it; you can report this at akm.work.acc@gmail.com. You are responsible for keeping your access secure.

By using the Platform, you agree to:

• not break the law or the rights of third parties;
• not attempt unauthorized access to the service or other users' data;
• not use automated scraping that disrupts the Platform;
• not claim someone else's achievements as your own and not upload forged proof.

For the Teams section (posts looking for teammates and responses to them), additionally: write only about yourself and in your own name, without other people's data; do not post insults, spam, ads or commercial offers; do not ask for money or promise earnings; do not impersonate another person or organization. The same applies to the name you choose to display on the site. You can respond to a post only once, and the author's refusal is final. No more than 5 of your responses can await a reply at once, and no more than 10 can be sent per day. Either side of a response can report the other: the response closes, and the person is blocked for the one who reported. If several different authors report your responses, responding is temporarily unavailable. We may remove a post or reset a name that breaks these rules without notice, and restrict access to the section for repeat violations.

How contacting starts. The author's contact is never shared automatically: you send a request and the author decides whether to share it. A refusal needs no explanation and is final. Persistent attempts to reach someone who refused, including through other posts or accounts, count as a violation of these rules and lead to restricted access to the section.

Listing an opportunity in the catalog is free. Separately, organizers may pay for promotion: pinning a card to the top of the catalog, a verified profile and partner packages. Terms and prices are published on the For organizations page.

Paid promotion affects the display order only and does not affect the card's content: the description, dates and link stay the same as for free listings. Promoted cards are marked as ads in the catalog. Paying for promotion does not mean Diplace has vetted or endorses the program.

The organizer dashboard is free. We issue it after checking the organization. On first sign-in the organizer accepts the terms: it publishes only real programs of its organization, is responsible for their description, dates, price and links, and uses participants' applications only for selection to its program. We may call an organization a Diplace partner and show its name and logo in our materials only with its separate consent, which it gives and withdraws in the dashboard.

The verified organizer checkmark is not for sale. It is granted only after we have looked at the organizer: whether the organization exists and the program is real. Paying for any package does not switch it on by itself, and paid partnership carries a separate label, Diplace partner. If the check does not pass, the promotion you paid for still runs, but there will be no checkmark.

Payment for promotion is made by invoice under a contract before placement starts; if the promotion was not launched through our fault, the payment is refunded or carried over to the next period, at the organizer's choice.

Some features require the paid Diplace Pro subscription: the Mentor's step plan and the application answer review. The catalog, filters, finding a team, the portfolio and the ranking stay free and will not be moved behind the subscription.

The price is shown on the subscription page. Payment on the site is not connected yet, and a subscription cannot be bought now: you can join the waiting list, and we will write when payment works. Paid access lasts until the stated date, after which it expires automatically. The Platform never receives or stores your card details.

AI features have monthly limits shown on the subscription page, plus protective daily and monthly limits on the number and volume of requests: they protect the service from glitches, excessive load and automated requests, and normal use, even very active, never reaches them. If a limit is hit, the interface says so and the attempt is not counted. A place in the ranking is never for sale: points come only from verified achievements.

The full purchase terms, including cancellation and refunds, are set out in the public offer. In short: you may cancel at any time without giving a reason, we refund the unused part of the term minus the expenses we actually incurred (the payment organization's fee and, if the days that passed had unusually many reviews and plans, the cost of processing them above the value of those days), and we process requests within 10 working days. Write to akm.work.acc@gmail.com.

The application review and the Mentor run on a third-party language model. The text you enter is sent to Anthropic or Google for processing: details are in the Privacy Policy.

The model builds the Mentor plan only from programs in the catalog: it will not suggest a program that does not exist, but it can be wrong about the order of steps and in its advice.

The model's output is an opinion, not an admissions decision, and not a guarantee of admission, a win or a grant. Verify requirements on the organizer's official site and make your own decisions. We are not liable for the consequences of following the model's advice.

Do not enter other people's personal data, documents, or information you are not willing to pass to a third-party service.

Opportunity cards link to third-party sites. We strive for accuracy but do not guarantee the relevance, completeness or availability of third-party information, and we are not responsible for the content and actions of third-party resources and organizers. Always verify terms on the organizer's official site.

A card describes an opportunity through facts: title, dates, requirements and a link to the organizer. Diplace writes its own summaries; we do not publish or store the original texts of third-party sites.

By default we do not vet organizers and we are not a party to your relationship with them. There is one exception: an organizer marked as «verified». A human adds that mark by hand and only after we have looked at the organisation, and it means exactly this and nothing more: the organisation exists, its contacts and registration details match what is publicly known, and there are no complaints against it. The mark cannot be bought with any package, does not extend to a particular programme, and is not our guarantee of its terms or of any outcome. Any participation fee is paid directly to the organizer: no money passes through the Platform and we are not a party to such payments. Do not transfer money or hand over documents unless the organizer's official page requires it, and treat promises of guaranteed income, a guaranteed visa or a job in exchange for an upfront payment with caution.

If an opportunity looks like it breaks the rules or looks like a scam, press Report on the card. We review reports within 3 business days and remove the card if the report holds; when several different users report the same card, it is hidden from the catalog automatically pending review. The same rule applies to posts on the teams board.

If you are a rights holder and believe that material on the Platform infringes your rights, write to akm.work.acc@gmail.com. Include the link to the card, your rights in the material and a contact for our reply. We review such requests within 3 business days and then remove the material, correct it, or explain why we consider the listing lawful. An organizer may also ask us to remove their logo or to stop collecting their programs: we disable the source on request.

The service is provided as is. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. To the extent permitted by law, Diplace is not liable for lost profits or indirect damages related to the use of, or inability to use, the Platform.

The name, design and original materials of the Platform belong to Diplace. Rights to third-party materials (organizers' logos and descriptions) belong to their owners. The text you enter yourself: application answers, achievement descriptions, a Teams post: remains yours; we use it only to operate the features listed above.

We may change the service's features and these Terms. You can delete your account at any time in Account. We may restrict access if the rules are violated.

Personal data processing is described in the Privacy Policy.

If you accept applications through Diplace, you receive the participant's name and contact. By accepting applications you agree to the following.

• Selection only. Contacts are passed to you solely to select participants for the program the application was submitted to. Any other purpose requires the person's separate consent.
• No onward transfer. You may not pass, sell or disclose the data to third parties, including partners and contractors, except where directly necessary to run the program itself.
• No mailings. You may not add participants to newsletters, marketing lists or chats without their separate request.
• Delete after selection. Data is deleted within 90 days of the selection ending, and within 30 days of a participant asking. Anything kept longer must be required by law, and only for as long as the law requires.
• Many participants are under 18. Write to them about the program. Asking for photographs, documents, payments or personal contacts outside the program is not allowed.

Breaking any of these means all your programs are taken down and your access to applications is closed. If a participant's data ends up somewhere it should not, we tell them.

The Platform is run by ИП Каирова Фарида Жакыпкановна (individual entrepreneur), IIN 650328400996, Republic of Kazakhstan; details are on the Details and contacts page. These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Claim before court. Before going to court, we recommend sending a written claim to akm.work.acc@gmail.com: we reply within 30 calendar days of receipt. This does not limit your right to contact the consumer protection authority or a court.
