The answer

It is permissible to open an online store for internet marketing, provided that conditions are observed.

The condition of "no exchange or return" for goods does not negate the buyer's right to annul the contract due to a defect or deceit, because this condition is void due to its harm. The buyer has the right to return the defective goods or receive compensation for the defect.

However, the condition that the costs of returning the goods fall upon the buyer is a valid and binding condition, as it does not contradict the contract, and this is what jurists affirm even without such a stipulation.
