no returns

Purchase commitment policy

No returns indicates that something sold cannot be brought back for refund or exchange.

The phrase appears on receipts, signs, and sale announcements: All sales final, no returns.

It shifts risk to the buyer—once purchased, you're stuck with it.

Extended to other contexts, it suggests irreversibility: This is a no-returns decision.
