It acts as a contractual agreement between the business and the customer, defining the terms under which refunds are granted and the process to follow.

Understanding the purpose and benefits of a refund policy is crucial for both businesses and customers. For businesses, it provides a transparent and consistent framework for handling customer requests, ensuring fairness and customer satisfaction. For customers, it establishes trust and confidence in the purchasing process, knowing that they have options if their expectations are not met.

Benefits of a refund policy:
