GSCE Participant Confidentiality Agreement

1. Parties and purpose

This Participant Confidentiality Agreement (the "Agreement") is between ICN Migration Club Inc., operating as Global School of Corporate Excellence ("GSCE"), and the person enrolling (the "Participant") in the course Advanced AI in Immigration Practice: Responsible Workflows and Practical Implementation (the "Course").

The Course shares methods, workflows and materials that the course instructor (the "Instructor") has developed in an operating immigration practice, and it relies on participants speaking openly about their own practices. This Agreement protects both. The Instructor may rely on and enforce this Agreement as if a party to it.

2. What is confidential

Everything shared in or for the Course is confidential ("Confidential Information"), whether written, spoken, shown on screen or provided in a file, including:

1. Course materials: slides, templates, prompts, instructions, checklists, case packs, workflow guides, code, prototypes, handouts and any other files.
2. The Instructor's methods: workflows, techniques, systems, tools, configurations and examples demonstrated or explained in live sessions or private sessions, whether or not they appear in a handout.
3. Other participants' disclosures: anything another participant shares about their practice, clients, cases, results, tools, fees or business.
4. Session communications: chat messages, discussion threads and anything shown on screen during sessions. Sessions are live only and are not recorded.

3. What the Participant agrees to

The Participant may use what they learn in the Course in their own professional practice, including staff working under their supervision. That is the purpose of the Course. The Participant agrees not to:

1. Disclose, share, publish, post, teach or present Confidential Information to anyone outside the Course.
2. Copy, sell, license or distribute course materials, in whole or in part, or use them to create a course, workshop, product, template set or service offered to others.
3. Record, photograph, screenshot or transcribe any session, or allow anyone else to watch or listen, without GSCE's written permission.
4. Share their login, links or access to sessions or materials with anyone else.
5. Upload course materials or the Instructor's methods into any AI tool, service or model in order to build, train, publish or share a competing product, course, custom GPT, agent or prompt library, or into any tool configured to share them with others. Private use of AI tools in the Participant's own practice is permitted.
6. Identify another participant, or repeat what another participant shared, outside the Course.

The Participant will protect Confidential Information with at least reasonable care and will tell GSCE promptly at courses@gsce.ca if they learn of any unauthorized disclosure.

4. What is not covered

This Agreement does not restrict information that the Participant can show:

1. is or becomes public through no fault of the Participant;
2. they already knew before the Course, without a duty of confidentiality;
3. they developed independently without using Confidential Information; or
4. they received lawfully from someone else who was free to share it.

Nothing in this Agreement prevents the Participant from complying with a law, court order or subpoena, or from reporting to, cooperating with or answering the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), a tribunal, or any other regulator or authority. Nor does it limit the Participant's own obligations under the CICC Code of Professional Conduct. Where the law allows, the Participant will tell GSCE before a compelled disclosure and share only what is required.

5. GSCE's and the Instructor's commitment

GSCE and the Instructor will keep confidential what participants share about their practices, clients, cases and results, and will not identify a participant to others. They may use such material in later teaching only in anonymized form, with names, client details and anything else that could identify the participant or their clients removed.

Participants should not share real client information in group sessions; exercises use fictional files. Participant personal information is handled under the GSCE Privacy Notice.

6. How long it lasts

This Agreement starts when the Participant accepts it and applies even if the Participant withdraws or the Course is cancelled. The obligations last 3 years after the last scheduled session of the Course (the last group session or private session, whichever is later).

One duty has no end date: not identifying other participants or disclosing what they shared about their practices and clients. Separately, GSCE's copyright in the course materials continues under copyright law after the 3 years end.

7. If the Agreement is breached

If the Participant breaches this Agreement, GSCE may, after notice to the Participant:

1. end the Participant's access to remaining group sessions, private sessions and materials, without refund of amounts already paid; GSCE will cancel any instalments not yet charged; and
2. ask the Participant to delete or return all course materials and confirm this in writing.

The Participant acknowledges that a breach may cause harm that money alone cannot fix. GSCE and the Instructor may therefore seek an injunction or other court order to stop or prevent a breach, in addition to damages and any other remedy available by law.

8. General terms

1. Ownership: all course materials remain the property of GSCE or the Instructor. This Agreement grants no licence beyond personal use in the Participant's own practice.
2. Governing law: the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada apply. The courts of Ontario, sitting in Toronto, have jurisdiction.
3. Electronic acceptance: the Participant's typed name and checkbox at enrolment are their signature, and an electronic copy is as valid as an original.
4. Severability: if a court finds any part unenforceable, that part is limited to the extent needed and the rest continues.
5. Relationship to Course Terms: this Agreement is separate from the Course Terms. If they conflict on confidentiality, this Agreement governs.
6. Changes: this Agreement can be changed only in writing signed or accepted by both GSCE and the Participant.
