Refund policy Mandatory in Each Sales Thread

[Rox]

I strongly feel it is the customer's job to look for the TOS of the site before buying any product/service, not only hosting services. Is this not the basic step/check before buying any product/service, whether online or offline (real life)? You should start doing that if you are not already doing it, else be prepared to get scammed/shortchanged.

We already have sufficient rules to protect the interest of buyers here, but if you really want to be scammed - go ahead and buy a product/service blindly.

Wake up buyers!

I agree as a person who does place refund policy.

No need for a policy notice in the thread.

This is a web forum, Not a day care fyi

Imo this shouldn't be mandatory would should be recommended. I have gone through hosts which had a refund policy but once a downtime or such occurs, they simply edit their TOS stating they don't offer refunds. So if threads could display the refund policy, in a way it would be good because others would have noticed as wel.

This rule shouldn't be applicable universally to each and every service.

For Example: If I opened a website consultancy & review service (like helping you improve your website, make it more appealing, etc.) and you hire me for it. After me spending hours on your site, suddenly after 4 days you'd PM me saying that I did not like your service, please refund me ?
Now that's not acceptable. I already did work for you and such services are opinion based. If I'd say that a gay should be tortured to death, 10 people here will support me while 100 will oppose this statement. So its totally opinion based.

If client itself is not smart enough to do a small 10 minutes research (Googling) about the service he is going to try, then he is ought to be fooled.

Businesses flourish mainly because of two reasons:

1. The "hardworking" employees
2. The unceremonious clients.

Look, no business man would open a business for the sake of mankind and charity. He opened it so that he can earn money. Although it depends how he earns it either by being honest or by manipulating every single statement.


So bottom line: NO to this rule. The client should be smart enough to look for a refund policy on the service website & do a research on them before buying/hiring the service.

yes it should be clearly stated at front page of every sale thread. here what happened with me. i bought rdp from remote-rdp.com & server was not at his best so i ask for refund. those kids edit their TOS same time & write we refund within 1hr to 5days.

thatsway it should be stated clearly so nobody cant change their TOS regarding to their situation. specially regarding refund etc

We cannot influence the provider about the refund or any other policy.

A link to the policy should be mandatory IMO.

The customer should ask any questions via pm or the thread.
Let's say some guy want's to sell his site and he did, the guy 2 purchases the site and after a day, he wanted refund. He still have the database and he will keep it and use it for his site.
Will create a lot of bs, So no for me
