Dear Ms. Blithe,
Thank you for your e-mail of August 17th. We have investigated your complaint with the staff members of Electro-Land in Torrance (Redondo Blvd. branch). Unfortunately, we are unable to comply with your request for a refund and must uphold the decision made by the sales clerk that you dealt with at the store. She was following company policy.
I have attached a copy of our refund policy for your review. This would also have been printed on the back of your receipt. As you can see in point 4, we are not able to offer refunds on software that has been opened if you do not have the original receipt. I hope you can appreciate that, once the product is opened, it cannot be resold, and is therefore valueless to us.
In addition, I understand from your e-mail that your computer did not have the minimum requirements to run the software, so you could not use it. However, the minimum system requirements are listed by the manufacturer on the outside of the box the software came in. So, you did not have to open the box to find this out.
We regret the situation and hope to continue to serve you in the future.
