Mavericks is free from Apple.
Sadly, its not. You can't even buy it.
Yea, it was free when it was available, but as soon as Apple releases a new OS (Yosemite), the previous OS is no longer available for "purchase", but you can still download it if you previously "purchased" it.
You could try wiping the drive and using internet recovery. It will install whatever OS originally shipped with the computer (which might be Mountain Lion though, unless this one was sold late enough for Mavericks).
