The right of a jewelry seller to deduct 25% in case of returning it

I purchased a diamond Jewellery 15-20 days back from a renowned jeweller in the UAE for a price of AED 20500 and made advance payment for AED 15000.

Due to some unfortunate reasons, I had to cancel my purchase. The jeweller is deducting 25% of the paid amount ( 5% for vat and 20 % being there policy) to return the cashback.

I believe the amount deducted is unreasonably high as I have not bought the jewellery back home since the amount is not paid fully.

I offered them an option to allow me to purchase gold jewellery instead and they still are very stringent in deducting 25% of the amount paid. It has only been 15 days since I made the purchase, I don’t know what to do.

You might as well pay the balance and be the owner of the diamond jewellery.

Any refund or change will be deemed as sale and he is deducting the making charges which is the norm for sale of jewellery.
