Text in [BRACKETS] is for you to fill in. This receipt is a general template, not legal advice. Whether a deposit can be non-refundable — and any consumer-protection rules — depends on your jurisdiction and on what the client agreed to; keep the terms consistent with your cancellation policy and have them reviewed. Prepared with CloseSign.
