If you do not agree to these Terms you should immediately cease accessing the Website and using the Services. We reserve all rights to alter these Terms at our discretion. Each time you use the Website, it is your responsibility to be aware of our current terms.

These Terms, as amended by us from time to time, continue to apply for the duration of your use of the Website and Services or until terminated in accordance with these Terms. Overview of Services The Marketplace provides an easy and convenient way for Users to connect with opportunities for communications internships, entry level jobs, and provides a platform to build a professional network. To use the Services, a User must register for an account in accordance with clause 4. If you register for an account in accordance with clause 4 and your registration is accepted by us, you will have access to the Services and will be able to: create your own profile (visible only to other Users and Listers), with the option to include a headshot, information about your education, skills and work experience, your resume, your professional portfolio and/or samples of your work and a contact email if you wish to be contacted by other Users and/or Listers for potential networking opportunities; access to our ‘Job Board’, which advertises opportunities for communications internships, entry level jobs and casual jobs posted by Melbourne-based Listers; access general career advice, articles and interviews with industry professionals; access support via our ‘Vent’ page, which allows you to set up a phone call, email discussion or one-on-one meeting with one of our representatives if you are having a hard time during an internship or your first job; purchase tickets at a discount to networking events, workshops, classes and seminars held by us; access our monthly newsletter; view blog posts posted by other Users and Listers; submit contributions to our blog, which, if approved by us (in our sole discretion), will be visible to other Users and Listers; browse and view other User profiles and Lister profiles (such as agency profiles and mentor profiles); and access our ‘Gusto Gang’ network of Users and Listers, which provides opportunities to contact and network with other students, graduates, young professionals, agencies and mentors by email.
