The short version

  • The Platform is for members of the Youn Impact Scholars community, by invitation only.
  • Use member information only to connect within the community. Never export it or share it outside.
  • Be respectful. No spam, solicitation, harassment or misleading posts.
  • You own what you post. You give us permission to show it to members.
  • Youn AI can make mistakes, so check anything important.

01About these terms

These terms apply to everyone who uses the Platform. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and forms part of these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Platform.

02Who can use the Platform

The Platform is available only to members of the Youn Impact Scholars community and others we authorise, such as community administrators. You must be 18 or older. Access is tied to the email address on your profile and isn’t transferable.

03Your account

  • Keep access to your email account secure. Anyone who can read it can sign in as you.
  • Don’t share sign-in codes or links, and don’t sign in as someone else.
  • Tell us at dev@weactuate.com if your profile details are wrong or if you suspect unauthorised access.

04Community conduct

The Platform exists so scholars can help one another. When using it, you agree not to:

  • harass, threaten, discriminate against or demean anyone;
  • send unsolicited bulk messages, spam, or sales and fundraising pitches that members haven’t asked for;
  • post content that is false, misleading, unlawful, or infringes someone else’s rights;
  • impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation;
  • attempt to break, overload, probe or bypass the security of the Platform, or access accounts or data that aren’t yours.

05Member information

Member profiles are shared in confidence within the community. You may use them only to connect with members for genuine community purposes. You may not copy, scrape, download in bulk, export, sell or share member information outside the Platform, or use it for marketing lists or recruiting databases.

06Content you share

You keep ownership of the messages, Board posts and job listings you create. You give us a limited licence to store and display that content to members as needed to operate the Platform. You’re responsible for what you post. We may remove content or limit features where content breaks these terms or puts members at risk.

07Jobs, Asks and Offers

Job listings, Asks and Offers are posted by members. We don’t verify employers, roles, salaries or offers, and we aren’t a party to any arrangement between members. Use your own judgement before sharing personal information or entering into any agreement.

08Youn AI

Youn AI and the AI drafting features use automated systems that can produce inaccurate or incomplete results. AI output is for convenience only. It isn’t professional, legal, financial or career advice, and you should check important information directly with the people involved. Please don’t submit sensitive personal information to AI features.

09Third-party links and services

The Platform links to sites we don’t control, such as LinkedIn profiles, employer application pages and university websites. We aren’t responsible for their content or practices.

10Availability and changes

We work to keep the Platform available and accurate, but we don’t guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may add, change or remove features as the community’s needs evolve.

11Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these terms or misuses the Platform or member information. You can stop using the Platform at any time and ask us to delete your account by emailing dev@weactuate.com.

12Disclaimers and liability

The Platform is provided free of charge, “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties, and we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for the actions, content or offers of members or third parties. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law.

13Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If changes are material, we’ll update the date at the top of this page and let members know on the Platform. Continuing to use the Platform after changes take effect means you accept them.

14Contact us

How do I post a job?
Open "Jobs" in the top menu, click the green "+ Post a Job" button, fill in the details (Job Title, Company and Job Description are required; Department, Location and Focus Area offer suggestions as you type), then click "Post Job". Your job appears on the Jobs board right away.
How do I edit or delete a job I posted?
