Actually, that's just the date (local to the point of departure) on which the fare information was retrieved.

Fares are fully refundable by default, unless a specific penalty is listed. This is a normal (read: full) C fare and can be refunded in full, when purchased directly from the airline. However, a TA (Expedia) may impose its own fees.
