money-back + guarantee
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'money-back' clearly signals returning money and 'guarantee' means a formal promise, so together they denote a promise to refund. This construction is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
The term money-back guarantee comes from sellers who promised to give the customer's money back when a product failed or the buyer was not happy. That clear image of getting your money returned is why the phrase means 'a promise to return your money if you are not happy with a purchase'.
