‘te’ indicates that the action (returning the fee) is directed toward ‘you’ (informal).

‘devolvemos’ is the 1st‑person plural present of ‘devolver’ (to return, to refund).
Demonstrative adjective (esta)

Set phrase: en ningún caso
A strong way to say ‘under no circumstances’; ‘ningún’ must have the accent and precede a singular noun.

✕Common Mistakes
No nos devolvemos esta tarifa en ningún caso.
‘nos’ means ‘to us’; the correct indirect object pronoun for ‘you’ (informal) is ‘te’.
No te devolvemos esta tarifa en ninguno caso.
‘Ninguno’ must be shortened to ‘ningún’ before a singular masculine noun.
No te devolveremos esta tarifa en ningún caso.
When the object is a fee, the verb ‘reembolsar’ or ‘reembolsaremos’ is also acceptable, but you must keep the pronoun.
No te devolvemos esta tarifa en ningún caso.
If you need a formal tone, replace ‘te’ with ‘le’. Using ‘te’ in a formal email can sound too casual.
↔Alternatives
No te reembolsaremos esta tarifa bajo ninguna circunstancia.
We will not reimburse this fee under any circumstance.
Esta tarifa no es reembolsable en ningún caso.
This fee is non‑refundable under any case.
No se devuelve la tarifa en ninguna situación.
The fee is not returned in any situation.
Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking markets, using ‘te’ signals an informal relationship. If you are speaking to a customer you don’t know well, replace ‘te’ with the formal ‘le’: ‘No le devolvemos…’. Also, ‘tarifa’ is common for service fees, while ‘cuota’ or ‘cargo’ may be used in other contexts. The phrase ‘en ningún caso’ is strong; use it only when the policy truly cannot be bent.
