If customers provide a deposit but do not sign a contract, what rights do they have regarding the deposit?

Customers who provide a deposit without signing a contract typically retain certain rights regarding that deposit. Because no binding agreement has been established through a signed contract, they maintain the flexibility to demand a refund of their deposit at any time. This means that the absence of a signed contract allows the customer to change their mind about the purchase or transaction without legal repercussions, reinforcing their right to reclaim the deposit they provided.

The other options would imply limitations or conditions not applicable in a situation where a contract has not been signed. For instance, stating that customers cannot reclaim their deposit suggests an unfair disadvantage since they have not formally committed to the transaction. Additionally, the idea that they must wait for a specified period or a written agreement to cancel further complicates their rights unnecessarily, as the lack of a signed contract already negates such obligations. Thus, option B accurately reflects the rights of customers in this scenario, allowing them full agency over their deposit.
