Frequently asked questions
Which laws apply to a return & refund policy in Canada?
Canada's PIPEDA governs how private-sector organisations collect, use, and disclose personal information, with meaningful-consent and access requirements. LegalCraft tailors your return & refund policy to PIPEDA.
Are return policies legally required?
In the EU and UK, consumers have statutory cancellation ('cooling-off') rights your policy must respect. Elsewhere a policy isn't always mandated but is expected and reduces disputes.
