Despite the "no refund for deposits" clause, you are entitled to your full money back. It doesn't matter that they offer no warranties, express or implied, either.

You may have to go to small claims court to get it. Or you may have to get an attorney to get it (Tough to do, I know).

Just know he is feeding you BS and you will have to assert yourself to get it.

What state are you in?

I am in Alabama. I let him know how unethical I, and many others in our community, would feel his business practices were had he kept the money. He promptly returned my email within an hour letting me know he would return the entire amount.
