return window
A return window is the specific period after purchasing a product during which you can return or exchange it if you’re not satisfied. Once this time frame expires, the seller typically no longer accepts returns. For example, if a company offers a 30-day return window, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to request a return or exchange. Return windows vary by retailer and product, and it's important to check the policy details to ensure you act within the allowed time. This helps protect both the consumer and the seller by clearly defining when returns are accepted.
