Legal analysis: no, generally speaking, the deposit is non-refundable, but it can be refunded if certain conditions are met. Usually there are two possibilities for refund: first, the party who collects the deposit defaults and needs to return the deposit twice; Second, both parties negotiate to terminate the contract, and the party who receives the deposit will return the deposit. Deposit refers to the currency that one party agrees to pay to the other party in the contract, which has the function of creditor's rights guarantee. If the payer fails to perform the debt, he has no right to demand return; If the donee fails to perform the debt, it shall return it twice. The amount shall be agreed by the parties, but it shall not exceed 20% of the subject matter of the main contract. After the debtor performs the debt, it shall be used as the price or recovery. The amount of deposit shall be agreed by the parties in principle, but the provisions limit the maximum amount, that is, it cannot exceed 20% of the subject matter of the main contract. According to the judicial interpretation, if the amount of deposit agreed by the parties exceeds 20% of the subject matter of the main contract, the people's court will not support the excess. The intention is obviously to limit the amount of deposit paid and the penalty of deposit within a certain limit.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 587 Where the debtor performs the debt, the deposit shall be set off as the price or recovered. If the party paying the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt is not in conformity with the agreement, thus the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, it has no right to request the return of the deposit; If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the deposit shall be returned twice.

Article 585 The parties may agree that one party shall pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to the other party for breach of contract, or may agree on the calculation method of the amount of compensation for losses caused by breach of contract. If the agreed liquidated damages are lower than the losses caused, the people's court or arbitration institution may increase the liquidated damages at the request of the parties; If the agreed liquidated damages are excessively higher than the losses caused, the people's court or arbitration institution may appropriately reduce them at the request of the parties. If the parties concerned pay liquidated damages for delayed performance, the breaching party shall also perform the debt after paying the liquidated damages.
