Policies and agreements

1. Introduction
   This Guest Access Agreement outlines the conditions under which guest users may access the IMC Moodle learning management system (“Moodle” or “the Site”). Guest access is a privilege granted by International Management College (IMC), part of TOP Education Group, for the limited purpose of viewing authorised public content or approved demonstration materials. By proceeding to use the Site as a guest, you acknowledge and agree to comply with this Agreement and all relevant IMC policies, as well as applicable Australian laws.

2. Purpose of Guest Access
   Guest access is intended to support public information, demonstrations, temporary viewing of sample course materials, external partner review, or other approved non-enrolled user needs. Guest access does not provide the rights or capabilities of an enrolled student or staff member and is strictly limited to read-only viewing of permitted pages and resources.

3. Conditions of Access
   As a guest user, you may only access areas of Moodle that are specifically configured for public or guest viewing. You must not attempt to access restricted areas, login-required content, private courses, assessment materials, or staff-only pages. You must not attempt to log in using another user’s account, create unauthorised accounts, or impersonate an IMC user in any way.

4. Acceptable Use Requirements
   You agree to:

• Use the Site only for legitimate and authorised purposes.

• View only the content made available to guests.

• Behave respectfully and professionally when interacting with any visible discussions or public course spaces.

• Immediately cease access if you disagree with any part of this Agreement.

You must not:

• Download, copy, reproduce, modify, or redistribute course materials, images, videos, or documents.

• Capture screenshots or recordings of restricted or non-public content.

• Attempt to bypass security controls, break site protections, interfere with system operations, or access private user data.

• Upload, post, or share any materials, comments, or content within the system.

• Use Moodle for any personal business, advertising, teaching, research, or commercial purposes without written approval.

5. Intellectual Property
   All course materials, site content, and digital assets within Moodle are the intellectual property of IMC or its academic staff. Guest users are not permitted to reuse, copy, store, or distribute these materials for any reason. No licence or permission is granted beyond temporary and limited viewing.

6. Privacy and Data Collection
   While guest users do not authenticate using an IMC account, the system may collect technical and usage information including device details, IP address, browser type, session activity, and navigation patterns. This information is collected for system performance, security, and compliance purposes and is managed under the IMC Privacy Policy, Australian Privacy Principles, and IMC Information Security Policy.

7. Monitoring and Auditing
   IMC may monitor, log, or review guest access activities at any time. This includes detecting unusual or unauthorised access attempts, repeated attempts to enter restricted areas, or actions that may compromise system security. By using the Site, you consent to such monitoring.

8. Security and System Protection
   Guest users must not engage in any actions that could compromise the security, operation, or stability of the Moodle system. Any attempt to scan, probe, exploit, or interfere with the Site is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate access termination and reporting to relevant authorities.

9. Limitations of Guest Access
   Guest access may be restricted, modified, or disabled at any time without prior notice. IMC does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, or completeness of any content provided via guest access. IMC is not responsible for any loss, damage, or inconvenience resulting from guest access limitations or changes.

10. Termination of Access
    IMC reserves the right to revoke or block guest access at any time, with or without cause. Misuse of the Site or breach of this Agreement may result in immediate termination of access and potential further action where required by law or institutional policy.

11. Acceptance of Agreement
    By continuing to access the IMC Moodle Site as a guest, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Guest Access Agreement. If you do not agree with any part of this Agreement, you must discontinue use immediately.
