return fee responsibility
also called who pays for returns
Who bears the cost of a return — a token from ReturnFeeResponsibilities, riding the return-policy statement as its qualifier. Cardinality many, because real fees compose: a policy may state the buyer pays return shipping AND a restocking fee at once ({buyer_pays_shipping, restocking_fee}); a free-returns policy states the single free mark. The fee AMOUNT is realised pricing (L1); this states responsibility only.
Return fee responsibility is answered with one word chosen from the return fee responsibilities list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It is a qualifier of return policy — it has meaning only inside a return policy statement, never on its own. It belongs with return policy to warranty & returns — one facet of a product.
It is answered inside every return policy statement, not as a standalone question on a kind.
