A contract is unenforceable if the purpose is illegal or repugnant to social policy, such as contracts for gambling debts or murder for hire. Contracts brought about by fraud often cannot be enforced. In rare cases, contracts found to be legally "unfair" may not be enforced in whole or in part.
You can go to the link below and complain to the AG.

I'm not sure how any of that relates to the situation at hand. The sale is not a written contract.
If your argument is that the "no refunds" policy is an implied contract, then I would argue that the minor child's parent, by virtue of his or her presence, gave his or her implied consent to the implied contract.
And no law was broken in this instance. If the OP really believes that the bookstore committed an unethical or simply rude act, the place to complain is not the Attorney General, but the
Better Business Bureau.
