# Agent-Side Refund-Rights Verification Before Honoring Merchant No-Refund Terms

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-side-refund-rights-verification-before-honoring-merchant-no-827ab117
```

Example prompt: Before I approve this payment, check whether the merchant's no-refund policy is actually enforceable — look at the payment rail dispute rights, statutory withdrawal rules for digital goods, and merchant trust signals, then give me a clear verdict.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs a fast, blunt, pre-purchase determination of whether a merchant's no-refund policy is practically enforceable — especially before committing to x402 or on-chain payments where reversibility is limited. Prefer it over general legal research tools when you need a single actionable verdict rather than legal prose, and over manual policy review when you need to cover rail-level chargeback rights, statutory digital goods withdrawal rules, and merchant trust signals in one pass.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not made: returns 402 with payment instructions rather than verdict
- Invalid query parameters: returns error if topic override is malformed
- Service unavailable: backend LLM or reasoning engine unreachable, returns non-200 status
- No-refund policy context missing: verdict may be generic if topic is not sufficiently specified
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on the provider side

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on agent-side refund-rights verification before honoring merchant no-refund terms: deterministic pre-purchase procedure where an agent reviews a merchant's no-refund policy and checks rail-level refund mechanics, statutory withdrawal rights for digital goods, payment-rail chargeback or dispute rights, and merchant trust signals, then issues a single verdict on whether the no-refund term is enforceabl. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

A structured JSON response containing a boolean verdict on enforceability, a decision procedure brief with prose reasoning covering rail-level refund mechanics, statutory withdrawal rights, chargeback/dispute availability, and merchant trust signals, plus metadata including the model used, generation source (llm, reasoning, or deterministic), and an ISO-8601 timestamp.
