Is a retailer allowed to take no refunds after not having any posted signs indicating I can’t get my money back from a down payment, one I wish to withdraw from.

Is there a way I can bend their arm into giving me my money back on a down
payment in which I wish to withdraw from, usually I wouldn’t like to do this, I
didn’t want it to be an issue, but is the law on their side or mine in this
matter, keep in mind like I said, there is no signs, nor was there any
information told to me that I was not able to get a refund if I cannot pay in
full within the given time.

Actually, the law is that is all transactions are final unless there is a refund policy; that is, the default or norm is no refunds, and the store would have to post or otherwise have (e.g. in any terms of sale) a refund policy allowing you to get a refund under certain circumstances. Without such a policy, they do not have to give a refund.
