Terms Of Service
This Terms Of Service document applies to the all versions of the Electronic Edition 9 software and its distribution website, https://eledit.netLast update: 12 November 2026
1. About These Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to the website eledit.net (the "Website") and to the Electronic Edition 9 application ("EE9" or the "App") for Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone/iPad, including its data, books, dictionary, updates and any future extensions (together, the "Service").
The Service is provided by Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha (Central) ("we", "us", "our").
By downloading, installing, buying or using EE9, or by using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. What EE9 Is
EE9 is a multi-platform application for reading and searching the works of Shrii P.R. Sarkar. It contains over 1,500 discourses in more than 150 books, a Sanskrit dictionary (Windows/macOS versions only), and tools for word, phrase, wildcard and proximity search.
The content of EE9 is updated from time to time. New books, corrections and software improvements are delivered through the App's update function. Some books are marked as "work in progress" and may contain formatting or other issues that will be corrected in later updates.
3. Free Version and Full Version
3.1 Free version. You may download and use the free version of EE9 at no cost. The free version shows only the first few words of each document and discourse, and a small number of complete books.
3.2 Full version. Access to the complete texts requires a licence code, sold through the Website (by credit/debit card or PayPal), through the Google Play Store, through the Apple App Store, or through authorised EE9 distributors and Ananda Marga units.
3.3 Prices. Prices are shown on the Website and in the app stores and may change at any time. A change in price does not affect licences already bought. Reduced prices may be offered, at our discretion, to users in regions where the standard price is not affordable; please write to support@eledit.net.
3.4 Purchases through app stores. If you buy EE9 through Google Play or the Apple App Store, that store's own terms, payment and refund rules also apply.
4. Your Licence
4.1 Grant. When you buy EE9 you receive a personal licence code. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, lifetime licence to install and use EE9 for your own personal study, reading and research.
4.2 Number of devices. A standard licence code may be used on up to 5 (five) devices of your own, in any mix of Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone/iPad. Limited-edition licence codes (codes beginning with "I1") may be used on one (1) device only.
4.3 Keep your code private. Your licence code is personal. Giving, selling, publishing or otherwise sharing your licence code with others is a violation of these Terms and will result in the immediate and permanent cancellation of the licence, without refund.
4.4 Installation. EE9 must be installed with its official installer or from the official app stores. Copying an installed copy of EE9 from one computer to another is not supported. To reinstall EE9, download the installer again and enter your licence code.
4.5 Updates. Data and software updates for EE9 are provided free of charge for as long as we continue to publish them. We are not obliged to provide any particular update, book or feature, or to support any particular operating system or device.
4.6 Lifetime. "Lifetime" means for as long as EE9 is distributed and supported by us. It does not guarantee that EE9 will keep working on future operating systems or devices.
5. What You May Not Do
Unless we allow it in writing, you may not:
- a) copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, sell, rent or lend EE9, its books, its dictionary or any substantial part of its content;
- b) extract, export or "scrape" the texts or the dictionary in bulk, or use them to build another product, database, website or AI/machine-learning dataset;
- c) remove or change any copyright notice, author attribution or other notice;
- d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or modify EE9, or get around its licence checks, except as far as the law permits despite this limit;
- e) use the Service in a way that is unlawful or that harms the Service, its servers or other users.
Short quotations for study, teaching, review or research are welcome, provided the source (author, book and discourse) is clearly acknowledged. See the "Citation Rules" in the app's Info section for more details.
6. Copyright and Ownership
The works of Shrii P.R. Sarkar contained in EE9 are protected by copyright. The EE9 software, its design and the Website are © Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, 2026, all rights reserved.
Buying a licence gives you the right to use EE9 as described in these Terms. It does not transfer any ownership of the software or of the texts.
Printed books by P.R. Sarkar are available from Ananda Marga Publications.
7. Internet Connection and Data
EE9 connects to our servers (hosted on Google App Engine) to verify licence codes, check for and download updates and new books, and provide related functions. Your licence code is sent to you by email.
We use the information you give us (such as your name, email address and licence code) only to provide, support and protect the Service. Payments are handled by PayPal, by card processors, or by Google/Apple, and we do not store your full card details.
A detailed Privacy Policy declaration is available at https://eledit.net/privacy.
8. Translation Tools and Extensions
Additional tools, such as tools for translators of P.R. Sarkar's works, may be offered as EE9 extensions. Their use may be subject to additional terms, which will be given to you when the extension is made available.
9. Distributors
Distributors and Ananda Marga units that sell EE9 licence codes do so under a separate agreement with us. If you would like to become an EE9 distributor, please contact support@eledit.net.
10. Refunds
If EE9 does not work on your device and our support cannot solve the problem, you may ask for a refund within 30 days of purchase by writing to support@eledit.net. Purchases made through Google Play or the Apple App Store are refunded according to that store's rules.
11. Disclaimer
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We work carefully to present the texts accurately, but we do not guarantee that EE9 or its content is complete, error-free or uninterrupted, or that it will work on every device or operating system. Running EE9 on systems that are not officially supported (for example Linux with Wine, or Kindle devices) is at your own risk.
To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for your EE9 licence.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract under the law of your country.
13. Termination
We may suspend or cancel your licence if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, in particular section 4.3 (sharing licence codes) or section 5. You may stop using EE9 at any time by uninstalling it.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be published on eledit.net, with its "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after a change means that you accept the updated Terms.
