I. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE & JURISDICTIONAL POSTURE

The VSA Covenantal Press, operated through the Aegis Trust under the commercial shield of the Citadel Trust, distributes literary, historical, theological, and jurisdictional works dedicated to the proclamation of truth and the preservation of the historic American people.

Unlike secular retail merchants bound by corporate-statutory banking codes, our financial settlement mechanisms operate exclusively upon decentralized, sovereign ledger rails (Bitcoin on-chain and Lightning Network). This Policy outlines the terms governing digital product fulfillment, the immutable finality of cryptographic settlements, and our commitment to fair delivery assurance.

II. DIGITAL COMMODITIES & NON-RETURNABLE NATURE

  1. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: All literary publications provided through this portal—including The American Indictment: The Untold Story of America’s Corporate Capture & The Crown Rights of Christ—are delivered exclusively as digital, electronic files (.epub and .pdf formats).
  2. CONSUMPTION UPON DOWNLOAD: Digital publications, by their technical nature, cannot be “returned,” “un-read,” or physically retrieved once transmitted or downloaded.
  3. POLICY OF FINAL SALE: In accordance with established legal principles governing electronic intellectual property and custom, all acquisitions of digital publications and electronic downloads are strictly non-returnable and non-refundable. Upon the issuance and delivery of the authenticated cryptographic download token or file access link, the compact is deemed executed and fully satisfied.

III. BITCOIN SETTLEMENT FINALITY & NO FIAT REVERSALS

  1. NO CORPORATE BANKING INTERMEDIARIES: The Aegis Trust does not contract with fiat clearinghouses, merchant merchant-aggregators (such as Stripe or PayPal), or debt-credit card providers. As a consequence, our systems maintain no physical or legal connection to the traditional commercial banking rails.
  2. NO FIAT CHARGEBACKS OR REFUNDS: We do not collect credit card credentials, hold fiat reserves, or maintain checking facilities for commercial transactions. We do not and cannot issue cash refunds, wire reversals, or credit card refunds under any circumstances.
  3. MATHEMATICAL IMMUTABILITY: Every transaction processed through our self-hosted treasury node (BTCPay Server) settles directly onto the public, decentralized Bitcoin ledger. Because blockchain confirmations are mathematically irreversible and outside the administrative control of any corporate state or banker, all completed payments are permanent, absolute, and irrevocable upon network confirmation.

IV. DELIVERY ASSURANCE & REMEDIATION OF DEFECTS

While financial settlements are absolute and non-refundable, the Aegis Trust maintains an honorable duty of covenantal equity. We guarantee that every contributor who transfers lawful consideration shall receive the complete, uncorrupted digital works acquired.

  1. TECHNICAL FULFILLMENT FAILURE: If a technical error occurs during checkout, if a download link fails to generate, or if the server connection drops before file completion, you are entitled to full technical remediation.
  2. CRYPTOGRAPHIC REPAIR OF CORRUPTED FILES: If a downloaded file is damaged, corrupted, or fails SHA-256 hash verification against our official Chancery registry, we will provide a fresh, verified replacement link.
  3. VERIFICATION & REMEDY PROCEDURE: If you experience an issue receiving your publication, follow these steps to secure immediate delivery:
    • Step 1: Locate your transaction proof (the BTCPay Server Invoice ID or the on-chain Transaction Hash / TXID from your wallet).
    • Step 2: Transmit an email to our Office of Records at chancery@thevegastaraccord.org with the subject line: “DELIVERY REMEDIATION REQUEST.”
    • Step 3: Include your order email address and transaction reference.
    • Step 4: Upon rapid manual reconciliation against our node ledger, the Chancery will generate a private, secure download link directly to your verified address.

V. THIRD-PARTY ON-RAMP INDEPENDENCE

Where provisioners utilize external third-party bridge platforms (such as non-custodial debit-to-crypto exchanges or OTC brokers) to acquire Bitcoin for settlement:

  1. Such third parties are entirely independent entities outside the jurisdiction of the Citadel Trust and the Aegis Trust.
  2. The Aegis Trust is not responsible for fees, spreads, KYC friction, or transaction delays imposed by external exchange providers.
  3. Any dispute regarding the initial purchase of Bitcoin via fiat must be addressed directly with the third-party provider prior to the transmission of funds to the Accord.

VI. ABANDONED & EXPIRED INVOICES

  1. Invoices generated through the BTCPay Server settlement engine have a standard fifteen-minute (15m) payment window to calculate the precise Bitcoin spot rate.
  2. If an invoice expires prior to the broadcast of an on-chain transaction or Lightning payment, no transaction has occurred, and the order is cancelled automatically.
  3. In the rare event that an on-chain transaction is broadcast with insufficient miner fees resulting in severe mempool delay or arrival after invoice expiration (“Paid Late” or “Underpaid”), contact chancery@thevegastaraccord.org with the TXID. Our clerks will manually reconcile the transaction and fulfill the order once network confirmations clear.
