return policy
also called returns
The return policy a listing states — a token from ReturnPolicyCategories (returnable within a window, returnable with no time limit, exchange or store credit only, no returns) anchoring a qualified bundle: the one return-policy statement carries its window (return_window), its accepted method(s) (return_method), and who bears the return cost (return_fee_responsibility) as per-statement qualifiers (L11/L16), exactly as a warranty statement carries its scope and term (b129). Cardinality one — an offer states a single return policy; grouped in the warranty-returns concern. This is grammar only: the realised eligibility of a particular returned unit and the exact restocking-fee amount are downstream (L1); the store's own return_policy_label binding key is a realised per-instance value, not stored here (A16); a 'Free 30-day returns' badge or 'Final sale' pill is presentation over this bundle (A10). An offer term, not a product-variation axis: no product is sold in a 'returnable version' vs a 'final-sale version', so a family never splits on it (its concern warranty_returns yields axis-ineligibility, derived not stored). Distinct from warranty (b129 — a promise to repair or replace a product that fails, not the terms under which a working product may be brought back).
Return policy is answered with one word chosen from the return policy categories list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It belongs to warranty & returns — one facet of a product.
the bundle what travels with each return policy
A return policy is not a lone value — each statement is a self-correlating bundle, carrying its own:
