1. About these terms
These terms apply when you buy a manual from the Srida IT Requirements & Testing Procedures series at sridait.com/manuals, or an online implementation guide such as "How to Implement PCI DSS" at sridait.com/pci-dss (each a "product"). They are an agreement between you and Srida IT Consulting and Services Pvt Ltd. ("Srida IT", "we"). By ticking the acceptance box at checkout you confirm that you have read and accept them. We record the version you accepted, with the date, time and IP address of acceptance.
2. What you are buying
For a manual: a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use one manual in PDF form, together with an update subscription for that manual (section 7).
For an online guide: a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access the guide on sridait.com through your personal access link for the access period in section 7, including any updates published during that period. You are not buying ownership of the product or of any copyright in it.
3. Licence and permitted use
The licence is for one named individual: the person whose name and email are entered at checkout. You may read, print and annotate a manual, and read and print pages of an online guide, for your own professional use and for internal work in your organisation.
You may not share, forward, upload, publish, resell or sublicense a product, your access link, or substantial parts of either; remove, obscure or alter any licence stamp; or load a product into a public or shared AI system, database or training set. If several people in an organisation need a product, each needs their own licence — contact info@sridait.com for team terms.
4. Personalisation and logging
Every manual is stamped on each page with your name, email address and a unique licence code, and each download is logged with its date, time, IP address and browser details. Visits to an online guide are logged in the same way. We use these records to deliver your purchase, to prevent and investigate misuse, and as evidence if the licence is breached.
5. Price, payment and verification
The price is the amount shown at checkout. You pay Srida IT directly by UPI or bank transfer and then submit the UPI reference / UTR number. Your order is recorded as pending until we match the payment against our bank records, which we aim to do within one business day. A UPI reference can be used for only one order.
If we cannot match a payment, we reject the order and tell you by email; reply with your payment proof and we will look again. If you need an invoice, email info@sridait.com with your order reference and GSTIN.
6. Delivery
When your payment is verified we email you a personal link. For a manual, each download link works for 30 days and for up to 5 downloads, and a licence allows up to 25 downloads in total. For an online guide, the access link works for the whole access period.
You can request a fresh link at any time at sridait.com/manuals/download using your purchase email and order reference; issuing a new link cancels the previous one. You are responsible for entering a correct email address and for keeping your links private.
7. Updates and access period
Your purchase includes updates to the product you bought for 12 months from the date your payment is verified. For a manual, we email you a link to each new version published in that period, and after the 12 months you keep access to the most recent version published during it. For an online guide, the 12 months is also your access period: the guide, including its updates, is available to you until it ends.
We decide when and whether to publish updates; the subscription does not promise a particular number or timing of updates. Buying the same product again extends the period by 12 months from the later of the purchase date and the end of your current period. A history of your order, downloads, visits and updates is kept on our systems.
8. Refunds
Because the products are digital and delivered immediately on verification, purchases are not refundable once a download or access link has been issued, except where you have paid twice for the same order or we are unable to deliver the product. Use the free samples and previews to decide before you buy.
9. Nature of the content
The products are independent professional guidance written by Srida IT. They are not official publications of ISO, IEC, GSMA, CERT-In, the PCI Security Standards Council or any other body, do not reproduce or replace the official standards, laws or documents they discuss, and do not confer any certification, accreditation, empanelment, approval or compliance status. Srida IT is not a PCI Qualified Security Assessor; PCI DSS compliance is validated by your acquirer, payment brands, a QSA or the self-assessment questionnaire you sign. The products are not legal advice. Some points are identified as needing confirmation against the official source; you remain responsible for applying the content to your own circumstances.
10. Warranty and liability
The products are provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we give no warranty that the content is complete, current or fit for a particular purpose, and our total liability arising from a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
11. Intellectual property and breach
Srida IT owns the copyright in the products. Names and identifiers of third-party standards and documents (including PCI DSS, a standard of the PCI Security Standards Council) belong to their owners and are used for reference only. If you breach section 3, we may revoke your licence, end your access and stop delivering updates without refund, and we may take further action to protect our rights.
12. Your personal data
We collect the details you enter at checkout (name, email, phone, and optionally organisation and GSTIN), your payment reference, and the acceptance, download and visit records described above. We use them to process and verify your order, deliver the product and its updates, enforce the licence and keep business records, and we keep them for as long as needed for those purposes and as required by law. See our Privacy Policy at sridait.com/privacy for your rights, or write to info@sridait.com.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms for future purchases. Each version is numbered and dated; the version you accepted at checkout governs your purchase. Earlier versions remain available on this page.
14. Law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Questions about your order or these terms: info@sridait.com or WhatsApp +91 78939 44467.
