Returns and Refunds Policy with Model Cancellation Form

About this document

What it’s for

A clear returns policy reduces disputes and chargebacks and builds trust. It must make clear the difference between your goodwill policy (for example change-of-mind returns in store) and customers’ legal rights, which you cannot remove. Online shops must provide the model cancellation form.

When to use it

  • On your website, at checkout, on receipts and in store
  • When training staff to handle returns
  • When reviewing your goodwill returns period

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Decide your goodwill policy for in-store purchases (shops do not have to accept change-of-mind returns, but most do)
  • Fill in return addresses, timescales and who pays for returns
  • Make sure staff know the statutory rights for faulty goods

Key points to check

  • Never say “no refunds” – customers always have rights for faulty goods
  • Refunds for online cancellations must be made within 14 days and must include standard outbound delivery
