Terms of Use

1. Scope and acceptance

These Terms apply to your use of this website at https://sriinfoit.com and any sub-pages. They do not, by themselves, govern any commercial engagement between us — that is the subject of a separate written agreement (see §9).

These Terms are an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules thereunder, and do not require any physical or digital signature.

2. Permitted use

You may browse this site to learn about our services, view our published articles, request a quote, and download materials we explicitly publish for download (such as the company profile PDF). Personal, non-commercial use of public-facing content is permitted without prior permission. Commercial reproduction (e.g. republishing our articles on another site, selling copies of our materials) is not permitted without written consent.

3. Our content and intellectual property

All content on this site — including text, articles, diagrams, illustrations, code samples, logos, and the SRI INFOIT word mark — is owned by us or licensed to us, and is protected by Indian and international copyright, trademark, and related laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of this content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent, except as permitted by fair-use provisions of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957.

Our service-method documentation, architecture diagrams, and any proprietary tooling shared as part of an engagement remain our intellectual property unless the engagement contract expressly assigns ownership.

4. Your submissions

When you send us a message through the contact form or by email:

• You retain ownership of the contents of your message. We do not claim a licence over your enquiry content beyond what is necessary to respond to it and deliver any service you engage us to deliver.
• You confirm that your message does not infringe any third party's rights and is not unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.
• You agree not to submit malicious code, attempt to inject executable content, or use the contact form to send unsolicited marketing.

We process and retain submissions per our Privacy Policy.

5. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to this site, our servers, or any related infrastructure (this includes network reconnaissance, exploiting vulnerabilities, brute-forcing forms, or bypassing rate-limits).
• Scrape the site at a rate that disrupts service for other users or interferes with our security monitoring. (Reasonable, rate-limited crawling by well-behaved bots that respect robots.txt is fine.)
• Reproduce our content in a way that would mislead a third party about its origin (e.g. pretending one of our articles is your own work or your firm's work).
• Use any data obtained from this site to compile a database for resale or redistribution.
• Use this site for any unlawful purpose, including in contravention of the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Indian Penal Code, or applicable foreign law.

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it through our security policy. We commit not to pursue legal action against good-faith researchers who follow the disclosure process described there.

6. Third-party links and OEM marks

This site contains links to third-party sites (e.g. OEM partner portals, public sources cited in our articles). We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, privacy practices, or availability of those sites. A link is not an endorsement.

References to OEM products and brands — including but not limited to Cisco, Aruba, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, HPE, Sophos, Microsoft, Nutanix, Dell, Cloudflare and others — identify those vendors' products for descriptive purposes only. All trademarks, service marks, product names, and logos used on this site are the property of their respective owners. Our use of these names does not imply any sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation beyond a documented partnership where one exists.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

This site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Subject to applicable law, we make no warranties or representations — express or implied — about the accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for any particular purpose of the information on this site.

Articles, case studies, and technical commentary published on this site reflect general engineering perspective at the time of publication. They are not consulting advice for your specific environment. Specific recommendations — such as a product choice, an architecture decision, or a security posture — require an engagement under a separate written contract.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to your use of this website is limited to INR 1,000 (one thousand rupees). We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility.

This limitation applies only to use of the website. Liability arising from a separate engagement contract is governed by that contract's terms.

9. Engagement terms (separate)

Nothing on this site constitutes an offer or commitment by us to provide services. Sending us an enquiry does not create a contractual relationship. A formal engagement begins only when both parties sign a written Statement of Work, Service Order, or Master Services Agreement that describes scope, deliverables, commercial terms, SLAs, and any data-processing arrangements.

For engagements that involve our processing of your personal data on your behalf, we will sign a Data Processing Agreement (see DPA) supplementing the engagement contract.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any third-party claim arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of this site, or (c) your infringement of any third party's intellectual-property rights through content you submit to us. This indemnity does not extend to claims arising from our own negligence or wilful misconduct.

11. Termination

We may, at our sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to this site at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or engaged in conduct that may harm the site or other users.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — intellectual property, disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law — will survive.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Before approaching the courts, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through written communication and good-faith discussion for a period of 30 days from the date of first written notice.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Your continued use of the site after a change is published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For material changes, we will surface a prominent notice on the site for at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
