Terms of sale
The Archive is run by Sreelekha, an individual creator based in India, under the name "Before It Was Possible". Everything sold here is a digital product (PDF files). No physical goods are shipped.
- Prices are in Indian Rupees (INR) and include any applicable charges.
- Your purchase gives you a personal licence to download, read and print the files for your own and your family's use. Please don't resell or redistribute them publicly.
- The Founding Archivist tier includes a reservation for Volume II. Volume II is written only if 200 reservations are reached by 1 November 2026 (23:59 IST), and the terms under Refunds apply.
- I take care to make sure all historical and mathematical content is accurate. If you find an error, please tell me and I'll correct it in the next edition.
Refunds & cancellations
- Digital files: once the files have been delivered, the sale is final, because digital downloads can't be returned. If a file is broken, incomplete or not what was described, email me within 7 days and I'll fix it or refund you in full.
- Volume II reservation: if the 200-reservation goal isn't reached within the window, every Founding Archivist payment (₹699) is refunded in full within 24 hours of the window closing, and you keep The Lost Lineage e-book. On The Complete Archive, the Volume II portion (₹300) is refunded and you keep all the files.
- Wrong or duplicate payment: refunded in full on request.
- Refunds go back to the original UPI account and usually take 1–5 working days to arrive.
Privacy
When you order, I collect your email address and, if you give them, your name and the name to print in Volume II. I use them only to deliver your files, match your payment and contact you about your order (including Volume II, if you reserved it). I don't sell or share your data with anyone. Payments are made directly through your UPI app, so I never see your bank or card details. To have your data deleted, email me.
Delivery
Your book downloads straight after you confirm your payment on the website, and the download link is also emailed to you. The link works for 7 days (up to 10 downloads), so please save the PDF on your device. Payments are checked against our bank records; orders without a matching payment may be cancelled. If anything goes wrong, email hello@withronny.com with the email address you used and I will send your book.
