Refund & Cancellation Policy

You may cancel a physical book order at any time before the shipment has been dispatched from our publishing fulfillment center. To cancel, please contact editorial@archerpublications.com immediately with your Order Number (e.g., AIP-ORD-YYYYMMDD-...).

Once cancellation is verified before dispatch, 100% of the total amount paid will be refunded directly to your original payment source via Razorpay.

We inspect all volumes prior to dispatch. However, if your book arrives with physical binding defects, missing pages, printing errors, or transit damage, you are entitled to a prompt remedy.

Eligibility Criteria: Please notify us within seven (7) business days of package delivery. Include your Order Number, a clear description of the defect, and photographs showing the damaged volume and packaging.

Remedy: Upon verification, Archer will ship a brand-new replacement copy at zero additional cost to you. If a replacement copy is out of print or unavailable, a full 100% refund will be issued.

Due to the specialized scholarly nature of academic monographs, books that have been opened, used, or returned without defect are not eligible for general return once delivered. Books returned due to incorrect postal addresses provided by the customer are subject to re-dispatch fees.

If you purchase or make an advance payment for a publication package and formally cancel your request in writing before any editorial review, manuscript formatting, or typesetting work has commenced, you will receive a full refund less any actual third-party payment gateway processing fees.

Once editorial work, proofreading, typesetting, or custom graphic design has commenced, fees corresponding to completed labor stages are non-refundable.

Where official ISBN registration with the Raja Rammohun Roy National Agency, DOI registration with Crossref, or printing runs have been executed on the author’s behalf, associated institutional and production costs cannot be revoked or refunded.

If deliverables do not conform to the written specifications agreed upon in your publication service agreement, Archer will provide comprehensive editorial revisions at no additional charge to bring the work into compliance with agreed standards.
