Legal notice

Refund Policy: basics
That said, a Refund Policy is a legally binding document that aims to establish the legal relationship between you and your customers regarding whether you will provide them with a refund and how you will do so. Online businesses that sell products are often required (depending on national laws and regulations) to disclose their product return policy and refund policy. In some jurisdictions, this is necessary to comply with consumer protection laws. It can also help you avoid legal claims from customers who are not satisfied with the products they have purchased.
What should be included in the Refund Policy document
In general, a Refund Policy usually addresses these types of issues: the deadline for requesting a refund, whether the refund will be full or partial, under what conditions the client will receive the refund and much more.
