            There is no law that they must refund anything. They already have the money.

              I’m… baffled that there’s now 3 of you trying to answer my question who don’t even know the absolute basics of the subject matter…

                What’s baffling is that you’re not stopping to consider that you might be the confused one, rather than literally everybody else.
