2. Definitions
- “Services” means our chargeback support, dispute handling, case review,
documentation preparation, and related advisory services in Europe.
- “Client”, “you”, “your” means the individual or entity using our website or
Services.
- “Chargeback” means a cardholder dispute process with a bank or card scheme
(e.g., Visa, Mastercard, American Express) seeking reversal of a transaction.
- “Agreement” means these Terms together with any engagement letter, order
form, or written scope we provide and you accept.
3. Scope of Services
- We provide consultation, case reviews, preparation of dispute materials, and support in
communications with banks, card issuers, payment service providers, and merchants, as
applicable.
- We are not a bank, card scheme, or payment institution and do not process payments or make
recovery decisions. Final outcomes are determined by banks, card networks, and relevant
rules.
- Timelines and results depend on third parties and case specifics; we do not guarantee any
particular outcome or timeframe.
4. Eligibility
- You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction and legally capable of
entering into contracts.
- Where you act on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that
company.
5. Your Responsibilities
- Provide accurate, complete, and timely information and documents (including receipts,
correspondence, screenshots, and bank statements) necessary for the Services.
- Promptly inform us of any changes to your case or contact details.
- Comply with applicable laws, card scheme rules, bank requirements, and anti-fraud/anti-money
laundering checks. We may decline or cease Services if information is inaccurate, unlawful,
or incomplete.
- Where required, provide written authorization or a power of attorney for us or our partners
to communicate with third parties regarding your case.
6. Engagement and No Legal Advice
- Website content is for general information only and does not constitute legal advice.
- Any tailored advice or representation is provided only after a formal engagement is
confirmed (for example, via an engagement letter or order confirmation).
- We may, where appropriate, collaborate with or refer you to independent licensed
professionals. Their services are subject to their own terms and responsibilities.
7. Fees and “No Win – No Fee”
- Free initial consultation: an initial assessment may be provided at no
charge.
- No win – no fee: if stated in your engagement, our success fee applies only
upon confirmed recovery (for example, a chargeback credit to your card or funds returned by
a bank or merchant). The specific success fee and any applicable taxes will be set out in
your engagement.
- Expenses: third-party costs (e.g., bank or courier fees, document
translations, notarizations) are your responsibility unless we expressly agree otherwise.
- Invoices and payment: unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due upon
receipt. Late amounts may accrue statutory interest and reasonable collection costs as
permitted by law.
- Currency and taxes: fees are typically charged in EUR and may be subject to
VAT or other taxes, as applicable.
8. Timeframes
Any timeframe we mention is an estimate only. Actual durations vary by bank, card network,
jurisdiction, and case complexity.
9. Client Funds
Chargeback refunds are usually credited by your bank/card issuer directly to your payment card or
account. We do not hold Client funds unless expressly agreed in writing and in accordance with
applicable law.
