Returns & Refunds

Clear, honest, and fair. Read this before you buy so nothing is a surprise.

The short version: Ebook — 30-day full refund. Merch and Bitcoin Edition — replacement for defect/damage/wrong-item within 30 days; no returns for buyer's remorse. Sats claim codes — cancellable while unredeemed, final once redeemed. We use print-on-demand, so nothing is made until you buy — this is why buyer's-remorse returns can't be accepted.

1. Ebook (The Boy Who Cried Bitcoin — Digital)

30-day full refund, no reason required. Email [email protected] with your order confirmation. Refund posts to your original payment method within 5–10 business days.

2. Physical merch (all 16 tees, hoodies, hats, etc.)

Merch is made to order via Printful (direct-to-garment printing on Bella+Canvas 3001). We do not accept returns for buyer's remorse — nothing exists in a warehouse for us to restock, and Printful doesn't accept made-to-order returns. However:

Full replacement within 30 days

Send a photo of the issue (with the shipping label if applicable) to [email protected] within 30 days of delivery. We'll ship a replacement at our cost. No return of the defective item is required — keep it, gift it, cut it up.

What is not covered

Order cancellation before print

Printful begins production within ~30 minutes of order confirmation. If you email us within 30 minutes of your confirmation and the order status is still draft or pending, we can cancel and full-refund. After that, the print has started and the policy above applies.

3. Bitcoin Edition (physical numbered book + sats gift)

The Bitcoin Edition combines a physical numbered book (made to order, same rules as merch above) with a sats claim code.

The physical book

Same policy as merch: replacement for defect/damage/wrong-item within 30 days. No returns for buyer's remorse.

The sats claim code

Numbered edition record

Once your edition (#N of 21,000) is minted in the PoMM ledger, that block cannot be deleted (it's cryptographically linked to the next block). If we refund, we mark the block as voided — the block remains public but shows as canceled. You forfeit the numbered edition on refund.

6. Chargebacks

If you dispute a legitimate charge without contacting us first, we will submit evidence (Stripe receipt, delivery tracking, PoMM ledger block hash, refund correspondence) to the card network. Please give us the chance to fix it before opening a chargeback — we'd rather refund you than lose the dispute fee.

7. Fraud

Suspected fraudulent orders are voided before print. If your order is voided for suspected fraud, contact support and we'll re-verify.

8. St. Jude portion of refunds

10% of net proceeds from every purchase are booked to a reserve for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. When a refund happens in the same monthly reporting cycle as the sale, we un-book the reserve. When a refund happens in a later cycle (after we've remitted to St. Jude), we still refund you in full — we do not claw back donations to sick children.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy for future orders. Your purchase is governed by the version live on the day you ordered. Historical versions live in our public git repo.
