Refund Policy
A legal disclaimer
Refund & Deposit Cancellation Policy / Politique de remboursement et d’annulation de dépôt
1. Scope
This policy applies to any deposit paid (“Deposit”) by a prospective lessee (customer) to JFT Auto in advance of a lease or vehicle transaction, where the customer cancels the deal before the final contract is executed. This policy does not guarantee refunds in all circumstances — see the conditions below.
2. Deposit and Cancellation Terms
2.1 Deposit as Good-Faith Commitment
-
A Deposit may be requested to reserve a vehicle or begin the administrative process (credit check, paperwork).
-
The Deposit is not a payment toward monthly lease payments, unless agreed in writing.
2.2 Cancellation by Customer
If a customer chooses to cancel the transaction before signing the final lease or purchase contract, the following rules apply:
-
A portion of the Deposit may be retained by JFT Auto to cover administrative costs, processing fees, or other reasonable expenses incurred up to the point of cancellation.
-
The amount to be retained (if any) will be disclosed to the customer at the time of deposit and in writing (e.g. in the reservation form).
-
The remaining balance of the Deposit (if any) will be refunded to the customer within [X business days] after cancellation.
2.3 Non-Refundable Deposit
-
In certain cases (e.g. the vehicle has been held exclusively for the customer, third-party arrangements made, or significant administrative costs incurred), the Deposit may be non-refundable in whole or in part.
-
If the Deposit is non-refundable, this will be clearly stated in writing to the customer before they pay it (e.g. “non-refundable portion: $___”).
2.4 Timing and Method of Refund
-
Refunds, when applicable, will be made via the same payment method used for the Deposit (e.g. credit card, bank transfer) unless otherwise agreed.
-
Refunds will be processed within [X business days] of receiving a valid cancellation request.
3. Cancellation by JFT Auto / Dealership
-
If JFT Auto cancels a deal (e.g. due to inability to secure the vehicle, credit issues, or other internal reasons) before signing a final contract, the full Deposit will be refunded to the customer within [X business days].
-
No penalties or deductions will be made in that case, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
4. How to Cancel and Request Refund
A cancellation and refund request must be made in writing (email or written notice) and include:
-
Customer name and contact details
-
Date of deposit and amount paid
-
Reason for cancellation
-
Preferred refund method (if different)
