# Is it already binding and will there by any costs when I send you my resume?

When you send us an inquiry and your resume, it is **non-binding** for you, and there are **no costs** involved. We will propose possible volunteer placements/internships, etc., and you decide whether you want to accept them. It only becomes binding when you agree to a proposal, and we send you an invoice. You make a deposit to secure your position, and usually, the remaining amount is due one month before the start date.

This process may vary for some programs (e.g., our Ireland programs). Different procedures are specified in the program descriptions.
