How to Decline Refunds by Email

In order to decline refunds effectively, you need either:

A clear refund clause in your Terms and Conditions agreement (T&C), or

A separate Return and Refund Policy

If you sell consumer goods, have a separate Return and Refund Policy to help your terms stand out.

If the nature of your business doesn’t call for frequent returns or refund requests, including a refund policy clause in your T&C and skipping a separate policy is adequate.

If you allow refunds on some items but not others, make this clear.

Also note if you give only partial refunds or keep restocking fees.

If you offer refunds, make it easy for users to figure out how to make a refund request.

Your terms of your refunds and returns are up to you, but communicate them clearly.

Then, you will be better able to enforce them, including when you decline a refund request.

Declining a Refund by Email

Use company letterhead or signatures to remain professional and official

Be firm but courteous. Let customers know you understand their frustration and request, but that your refund policy doesn’t allow a refund in their situation.

Be concise and specific. Let customers know exactly why you can’t issue a refund. Don’t just say no.

Reference your refund policy so a customer knows that you have a policy backing your decision.
