Chargeback & Payment Dispute Policy
Legitimate Disputes: If you believe there’s an error with your payment or did not authorize a charge, please contact us directly first at [phone/email]. We will work with you to resolve any genuine billing issues promptly and professionally.
Fraudulent Chargebacks: Filing a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank while simultaneously keeping the product (commonly known as “friendly fraud”) is illegal and constitutes theft. This practice:
- Violates federal wire fraud statutes (18 U.S.C. § 1343)
- May result in criminal prosecution
- Damages small businesses and increases costs for all customers
- Will result in collections proceedings and reporting to credit bureaus
Our Response to Illegitimate Chargebacks: When a chargeback is filed, we provide the following documentation to your financial institution:
- Order confirmation and approval emails
- Proof approval with your electronic signature/confirmation
- Delivery confirmation with tracking
- Communication records
- Product proof showing what you approved
If a chargeback is found to be illegitimate after our evidence submission, we reserve the right to:
- Pursue collections for the full order amount plus chargeback fees
- Report the incident to credit bureaus
- Pursue legal action for fraud and theft
- Ban the customer from future purchases
