Retailers don't get a refund of any kind unless product is sent back.  If the store sells it, even at a discount, they still paid full price for it.  They don't cut the price and then demand a refund from the distributor.

Games do not get sent back anymore for failing to sell, it is too costly, hence these agreements set up before hand.  There is no point of sending them back if just going to ship them again at a lower selling point.  It is wasting money.

They don't cut price and demand a refund, it is all agreed upon before a game even releases when to cut, by how much and all based on sell-through.

Let me get this straight.  A retailer will puchase X amount of copies at full price but if a certain percentage of those copies do not sell, the distributor will send money to the retailer to offset the reduced retail price to sell the remainder?
