According to Article 10 of the Measures for Punishment of Infringement on Consumers' Rights and Interests issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, when providing goods or services in advance, operators shall make clear agreements with consumers on such matters as quantity and quality, price or expenses, time limit and method of performance, safety precautions and risk warning, after-sales service and civil liability. If the goods or services are not provided in accordance with the agreement, the agreement shall be fulfilled or the advance payment shall be returned according to the requirements of the consumers, and the interest on the advance payment and the reasonable expenses that the consumers must pay shall be borne. If there is no agreement on the refund, the refund amount shall be converted according to the calculation method beneficial to consumers.

If the business operator makes a reasonable request for refund to the consumer, and explicitly indicates that it will not be refunded, or fails to refund for more than 15 days from the agreed effective period, or the consumer makes a request for refund without the agreed time limit, it shall be deemed as deliberate delay or unreasonable refusal. This method was implemented on March, 2065438 15.
