The User agrees that transactions involving the Card Payment Networks may be disputed at any time up to 180 (one hundred eighty) days, from the date of transaction by the Customer as per the Card Payment Network Rules.

In the event of rejection/suspension of payments to the User, Chargebacks, refunds and/or any other dispute relating to the Transactions contemplated under these Terms ("Transaction Dispute") on any grounds whatsoever, Webtopia Pay will forthwith notify the User of the same.

  • requesting Us to refund ("Refund Request") the payment received by the Customer in respect of such Transaction Dispute ("Refund Monies"); or

  In the event that the User provides a Refund Request to Us or fails to contest such Transaction Dispute within the aforesaid timeframe prescribed by Webtopia Pay or contests Transaction Dispute without providing supporting documentation to the satisfaction of Webtopia Pay, the Service Provider and/or Card Payment Network and/ or issuing Bank, Webtopia Pay will be entitled to recover the Refund Monies from settlements subsequently made to the User Account.
  The User will be liable to make payment of the Refund Monies or part thereof which has not been returned to Webtopia Pay forthwith. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged by the Parties that the Fees charged by Webtopia Pay in respect of the Transaction Dispute will not be refunded, compensated or paid by Us to the User, Customer or any other person. Further, the Chargeback will be effected within 1 (one) week of the Transaction and maximum amount of the Chargeback payable by Us to the Customer will be the value of the transaction only.
