ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Because refunds are limited to specific described circumstances, users generally cannot recover fees paid even if dissatisfied with the Service.

Interpretive note: The canonical claim focuses on the non-refundability rule, which is the primary legal proposition. Tax collection and third-party transactor provisions are recorded as omitted material.
