If the deposit requested is too high, we should try and renegotiate it with the seller.
By paying a deposit, we commit ourselves to purchase the product or service ordered.
If we change our mind, the deposit paid may be lost.
We may also be obliged to continue with the purchase.
Whatever is agreed with the trader should be put in writing.
If the trader does not honour his part of the contract, he is liable to refund the deposit.
