"Paying a deposit" is rather clear and implies it is refundable (otherwise it's not a deposit but indeed a fee).
Now, in French the word used is 'caution' [1], which means 'security deposit' (like a renter would pay their landlord, for instance) and makes it beyond doubt that it is refundable.

- zimpenfish 4y ago> "Paying a deposit" is rather clear and implies it is refundable Yes, it might imply it's refundable but none of the (English) stories have made that explicit - you can deposit into a common fund to pay for something (such as rescues or funerals) with no expectation of refund. > Now, in French the word used is 'caution' [1], which means 'security deposit' That does make it more explicit, thanks!
