8. Chargebacks
We understand that there may be occasions where you may not recognise or wish to dispute a payment made to Subotiz in relation to a Transaction.
Chargeback is a mechanism for your payment card issuer (at their discretion) to reclaim money from a retailer’s bank. This can allow your card issuer to provide you with a refund in a number of circumstances, including:
- if you do not get the Product you paid for;
- if you are charged the wrong amount, or charged twice by mistake;
- if the payment was made fraudulently.
You agree to contact Subotiz prior to raising a request for a chargeback or any dispute with your bank or card issuer in relation to any Transaction.
We recognise that chargebacks can happen for a variety of reasons. However, if you make a card payment through Subotiz, and later dispute a legitimate charge by raising a chargeback without merit or legitimate reason (as determined at our sole discretion), whether fraudulently or otherwise, then we reserve the right to prohibit you from using our Services by providing compelling evidence to refute your invalid chargeback request.
