Refund Policy - Basics

A Refund Policy is a legally binding document that outlines the legal relationships between you and your customers regarding whether and how you will issue refunds. Companies selling products online may be required (depending on local laws and regulations) to present their return and refund policies. In some jurisdictions, this is necessary to comply with consumer protection laws. Having a policy can also help you avoid legal disputes with customers who are dissatisfied with their purchases.

What to include in the Refund Policy

In general terms, the Refund Policy typically regulates the following issues: the timeframe for a refund; whether the refund will be full or partial; under what conditions the customer will be reimbursed; and much more.
