Explanation / Answer

If at time of signing, the contract says non-refundable, then at a minimum charge unearned revenue (for that portion that is non-refundable), the other would be customer deposit.

Move it to revenue once the deadline of the deal has past or the customer has exercised the cancellation aspect of the contract.
