Cultural Tip

The formulation "C'est quoi..." is perfectly understandable but considered informal. In written or professional French, especially when addressing a company, prefer "Quelles sont les conditions de remboursement ?". Also, French consumer law (Code de la consommation) often guarantees a 14‑day cooling‑off period for online purchases, so mentioning the legal baseline can be useful.
