Terms of use
Version terms-2026-10-v1 · In force from 12 November 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and us. Please read them. When you create an account you are asked to accept them, together with the Acceptable use rules. How we handle your personal data is in the Privacy notice.
1. Who we are
Guarding.Tech (guarding.tech) is an online training platform. It is owned and run by VSVSV (Vidhi Sangat Vidyut Saksya Vinaya) Tech Private Limited, a company registered in India (CIN U85499TS2023PTC180277), 7-2-1669/Athena-C/0306, Lodha Casa Paradiso, Sanath Nagar Colony, Hyderabad, Telangana 500018, India. In these pages "we" means that company.
In the Global edition courses are sold by Vanaranya LLC, 1309 Coffeen Avenue, STE 1200, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, United States ("the seller"). The seller takes your payment and issues your receipt. We still run the platform, the lessons and your account.
Guarding.Tech is an independent, privately run educational platform. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any government agency, and it does not provide or claim to provide official government training, certification or services.
2. Who can use Guarding.Tech
- You must be 18 or older to create an account or buy a course.
- If you use Guarding.Tech for an employer, agency or other organisation, you confirm that you are allowed to act for it.
- You must give true details and keep them up to date.
3. Your account
- Keep your password and sign-in codes to yourself. Do not share your account. One account is for one person.
- Tell us at once if you think someone else has used your account: support@guarding.tech.
- We may ask you to verify your email address before you can sign in.
- Our servers keep a technical log of each request (IP address, date and time, page asked for, browser type) for 180 days, for security and because Indian cyber-security rules ask for it. Only server staff see it; it is not used for marketing. Details: Privacy notice.
4. What you get
- Free lessons and pages can be read without an account.
- When you buy a course you get access to it for the access period shown on the course page before you pay (usually 12 months). After that you can no longer open the lessons, but your Record of Completion stays valid.
- Prices are shown on the course page. In this edition tax, if any, is worked out at checkout from your billing address and shown before you pay.
- You may use a discount code if you have one. Each code has its own conditions (dates, courses, one use per person).
- We keep improving the courses. We may update, correct or reorder lessons and questions. We will not take away the main content of a course you have paid for during your access period.
5. Records of Completion and what they mean
- When you pass a course's final assessment you get a Record of Completion. It shows that you completed our course. It is readiness training. It is not a licence, not a certificate of competence and not recognised by any regulator, unless a page says so in writing.
- Our Water and Air courses are knowledge courses. They are not ISPS Code training and not AVSEC training, and no port, maritime or aviation security authority recognises them.
- First-aid and safety lessons give knowledge only. They are not a substitute for hands-on training with a qualified trainer.
- Anyone with the number of a Record can check it on our verify page. The check shows only the Record number, your name (as initials, unless you agreed to show your full name), the course, the date and whether it is valid.
- We may withdraw (revoke) a Record if it was obtained by cheating, by sharing answers, by using someone else's account, after a refund, or by our mistake. The verify page then shows it as revoked.
6. Assessments
- Learning checks help you learn and are not marked. Final assessments are marked by computer. The pass mark is shown before you start (normally 70%).
- Do the assessment yourself, without help from another person and without copying questions or answers.
- If you think an assessment was marked wrongly, tell us and a person will look at it.
7. Organisations
- An organisation (for example a security agency or a site owner) can buy seats for its staff and send readiness tests to its guards. The organisation must have the right to give us its guards' names and mobile numbers, and may use them only for the test. Guards are told what the organisation will see before they start.
- Organisations see scores, bands, topic results and learning plans — never a guard's individual answers.
- If your organisation pays for your seat, some rules about access and refunds come from its agreement with us.
8. Our content
- All lessons, questions, videos, drawings and the Guarding.Tech name and logo belong to us (or are used with permission, as shown in the credits).
- We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use the content you have access to, for your own learning.
- Do not copy, sell, publish, share or translate the content, or use it to train computer models, without our written permission. Short quotes with a clear source are fine.
9. Acceptable use
You must follow the Acceptable use rules. If you do not, we may stop your access (see section 12).
10. Payments
- Payments in this edition are taken by Stripe for Vanaranya LLC (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay). We never see or keep your full card number.
- Your purchase is confirmed only when the payment provider tells us the payment succeeded.
- Refunds follow our Refunds and cancellations page.
- We do not currently sell to buyers whose billing address is in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. Checkout refuses those billing countries.
11. Our responsibility to you
- We work hard to keep the content accurate and up to date, and we date the parts that change most (such as law). But laws, rules and practices change, and a training course cannot cover every situation. Always follow the law, your employer's orders and the instructions of the authorities where you work.
- We try to keep the platform running, but it may sometimes be unavailable (for example for maintenance).
- We are responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or of our lack of reasonable care. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, or for loss of business or profit when you use Guarding.Tech for a business.
- Where the law allows us to limit it, our total responsibility to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the problem.
- Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that the law does not allow to be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for your rights under mandatory consumer law.
12. Stopping or suspending access
- You can stop using Guarding.Tech at any time and ask us to delete your account. The account closes at once; your personal data is erased after 30 days (from May 2027: no earlier than one year after it was last used), together with your old-app forum posts, reviews and chats.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the acceptable use rules, that puts other people or the platform at risk, or where the law requires it. If we do, we will tell you why, unless the law stops us or it would put someone at risk.
- If we close your account without a good reason under these terms, we will refund the unused part of any course you paid for.
13. Changes to these terms
- We may change these terms, for example when the law or our service changes. The version and date are shown at the top of this page.
- If a change matters to you, we will tell you before it takes effect and ask you to accept the new version when you next sign in. Changes do not affect purchases you made before them.
14. Problems and complaints
- Please tell us first: support@guarding.tech. We reply within 2 working days and try to solve the problem within one month.
- More ways to contact us are on Grievances and contact.
15. Which law applies, and courts
- Your purchase contract with Vanaranya LLC is governed by the law of the State of Wyoming, USA. The rest of these terms (your account and your licence to use the content) is governed by the law of India.
- This does not take away any protection that the law of the country where you live gives you and that cannot be removed by contract. You can bring a claim in the courts where you live if that law allows it.
- If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.
