    Clear return policies sell more products.

    92% of consumers check the return policy before buying. A vague or missing policy kills conversions. A clear one builds trust and reduces disputes — before they happen.

    Reduce Chargebacks & Disputes

    Clear return terms set expectations upfront. When customers know exactly how returns work — windows, conditions, refund methods — they contact you instead of filing a chargeback with their bank.

    Consumer Protection Compliant

    EU 14-day cooling-off periods, Australian Consumer Law guarantees, US FTC guidelines, and state-level requirements — automatically included based on where you sell.

    Boost Conversion Rates

    Stores with clear return policies see higher conversion rates. Customers buy with confidence when they know returns are hassle-free — especially first-time buyers and high-value purchases.

    Prevent Return Fraud

    Condition requirements, restocking fees, and non-returnable item exclusions protect you from wardrobing, receipt fraud, and serial returners — without alienating legitimate customers.

    Tailored for Your Industry

    A fashion store needs different return terms than an electronics retailer. Our AI generates industry-specific clauses for your exact product type.

    Fashion & Apparel

    Size exchange policies, unworn/tags-attached conditions, swimwear and intimates exclusions, seasonal return window extensions, and wardrobing prevention clauses.

    Electronics & Tech

    Restocking fees for opened items, functionality testing periods, accessory return requirements, warranty vs. return distinction, and DOA (dead on arrival) procedures.

    Food & Perishables

    Non-returnable perishable goods exclusions, quality guarantee terms, temperature-sensitive shipping claims, expiration date policies, and subscription box cancellation.

    Gifts & Custom Products

    Personalized/custom item exclusions, gift receipt exchanges, gift card refund terms, monogrammed item policies, and made-to-order cancellation windows.

    Digital Products & Courses

    No-refund-after-access clauses, satisfaction guarantee windows, partial refunds for course progress, license revocation on refund, and free preview/trial alternatives.

    Home & Furniture

    Large item return logistics, assembly disclaimer (no returns once assembled), shipping damage claims, white-glove return pickup options, and restocking fees for bulky goods.

    Every Detail Covered

    No Ambiguity, No Disputes

    Vague policies like "returns accepted within a reasonable timeframe" are unenforceable and confuse customers. Our AI generates specific, actionable terms — exact days, exact conditions, exact refund methods.

    Balanced for Both Sides

    Too strict loses sales. Too generous invites abuse. Our terms strike the right balance — protecting your margins while giving customers the confidence to buy.

    Covers EU Consumer Rights, FTC guidelines, and 180+ jurisdictions

    Return Rights Vary by Region

    Mandatory Return Rights

    The EU, UK, and Australia mandate minimum return periods that override your store policy. You cannot opt out of these — your return policy must comply or you face enforcement action.

    Seller-Defined Markets

    In the US and Canada, you set the return terms — but must disclose them clearly before purchase. FTC guidelines require "conspicuous" display, and credit card networks mandate prompt refund processing.
