1. A legal disclaimer
The explanations and information on this page are general, high-level guidance on drafting your own Refund Policy. Do not treat this text as legal advice or as a substitute for consulting an attorney. We cannot anticipate the specific refund terms you wish to establish between your business and your customers. Seek qualified legal counsel to help you understand, customize, and implement your own Refund Policy.
2. Refund Policy – the basics
A Refund Policy is a legally binding document that defines the relationship between you (the seller) and your customers regarding when, how, and under what conditions you will issue refunds. For online businesses selling products, local consumer-protection laws may require you to publish a return-and-refund policy. A clear Refund Policy can also reduce disputes and chargebacks by setting proper expectations for buyers.
