Who needs this policy

E-commerce stores selling physical goods

Physical-goods sellers need clear return windows, condition rules, and who pays return shipping — disclosures required by EU, UK, and many US states.

SaaS and subscription products

Monthly and annual subscriptions need refund rules for partial periods, trial-to-paid conversions, and cancellations mid-cycle.

Digital-goods and download stores

Digital content has specific cooling-off rules in the EU and UK when the consumer consents to immediate delivery — the draft addresses the required pre-purchase disclosures.

Marketplaces and multi-seller platforms

Marketplaces need a platform-level refund policy plus rules for seller-initiated refunds, escalation, and platform intervention.

Jurisdiction coverage

EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU)

This document is designed to align with the 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts, the information obligations under Articles 6 and 8, and the specific rules for digital content where the consumer has consented to immediate performance.

UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013

The PolicifyAI system outputs UK-specific withdrawal-right language, the 14-day cooling-off window, and the rules around returning goods, including who bears return shipping costs.

US state rules (California, New York, and FTC)

Compliance templates cover the FTC Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule, California’s refund-disclosure requirement (Civil Code s.1723), and the broader unfair-practices posture of state attorneys general.

Card-network chargeback rules (Visa, Mastercard)

Software-generated output references how your policy interacts with Visa and Mastercard chargeback categories, documenting the steps a customer should take before raising a dispute.

Frequently asked questions

Is a refund policy legally required?

In many jurisdictions you must disclose your refund / returns policy before purchase. EU consumer-rights directives and UK Consumer Contracts Regulations also give buyers statutory rights that your policy must not undercut.
