The Intern has accepted The Data Analytics Institute's offer on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.

2. Definitions and Interpretation

Confidential Information does not include:

• any information that was lawfully known to or in the Intern's possession or control without restriction prior to the Intern performing the Internship; or
• any information that is in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this agreement or other obligation of confidence.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property Rights

means all intellectual and industrial property rights, including without limitation copyright, trademarks or trade names, patents, designs (whether registered or pending registration), goodwill, trade secrets, secret processes, moral rights, the right to have confidential information kept confidential and other like rights whether arising by common law or by statute.

3. Nature of the Internship

The Data Analytics Institute and the Intern agree that the Internship is work experience only. The Intern is not an employee of The Data Analytics Institute or the host company at any time or for any purpose.

The Intern will receive no payment for performing any work during the Internship and will not, for any purpose, become an employee of The Data Analytics Institute or the host company as a result of performing the Internship.

• An internship is voluntary.
• Its purpose is to offer training, experience, and skill development for a person while allowing them to gain experience in a job or industry.
• There is no involvement in any client or productive work, and the project work is never monetised directly or indirectly.
• It will not involve work that is for the operational benefit of the business or the host company.
• The main benefit is to the person undertaking the role, not the host company.

4. Term of the Internship

The duration of the Internship varies from 4 weeks up to 12 weeks.

The Internship may not be extended beyond the Cessation Date except by further agreement in writing executed by the Intern and the host company.

5. Intern Obligations and Acknowledgments

The Intern agrees and acknowledges the Intern's obligation to:

• Use the best of the Intern's abilities and act in the best interest of The Data Analytics Institute and the host company for the duration of the Internship;
• Participate in any training required by the host organisation;
• Comply with the host organisation's workplace rules and requirements for safety and behaviour;
• Follow all lawful and reasonable instructions of the host organisation;
• Refrain from any conduct that would adversely reflect on the host company or The Data Analytics Institute;
• Not engage in any activity which is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the host company;
• Comply with any and all legislation, codes, or guidelines, in whatever form, that are applicable to the Intern;
• Undergo any and all training that the host company deems necessary to enable the Intern to safely and efficiently perform the Intern's duties during the Internship;
• Notify the host organisation supervisor as soon as possible if the Intern is unable to attend the internship at any of the agreed times.

All Intellectual Property Rights developed by the Intern while the Intern is performing the Internship are assigned to and vested in the host company as created. The host company owns and retains all rights at all times to the host company or The Data Analytics Institute.

The Intern can choose to work on a part-time or full-time basis. The arrangement will have to be discussed upfront with the Intern's internship manager/supervisor before the internship activity can begin. Any changes to the Intern's or host company's circumstances will have to be communicated to the other party before any changes to work arrangements are made.

The Intern will need to complete at least 30 days of internship to receive a referral of any kind (written, email, or phone). One day equates to 8 hours' worth of work to produce agreed deliverables as per the discussion with the internship manager/supervisor. The number of days worked is determined by the internship manager/supervisor at his/her sole discretion.

• Punctuality — interns are to dial into the meeting at least 5 minutes before the start time. If running late, let your supervisor know;
