Our Refund & Cancellation Policy
Transactions may be disputed anytime within up to 120 (one hundred twenty) days, from the date of transaction by a buyer, as per the Card Payment Network Rules. Disputes resolved in favour of a buyer may result in reversal of payment to such buyer (“Chargeback“). In the event of rejection/ suspension of payments to the seller, chargebacks, refunds and/or any other dispute relating to the transactions contemplated under these Terms of Use (“Disputed Transaction“), on any grounds whatsoever, we will forthwith notify the seller of the same.
On such notification the seller will conduct an internal review of such matter and will, within 5 (five) working days from receipt of notification, respond to us in writing either:
- Requesting us to refund Refund Request the payment received by the seller in respect of such Disputed Transaction Refund Monies; or
- Providing us with a statement explaining how the Disputed Transaction is not warranted, together with all documentary evidence in support of contesting such Disputed Transaction.
All refunds shall be made to the original method of payment. In the event that the seller provides a Refund Request to us or fails to contest such Disputed Transaction within the aforesaid 5 (five) working days or contests Disputed Transaction without providing supporting documentation to us, payment service providers, Card Payment Network and/ or issuing institution’s satisfaction, we will be entitled to recover the Refund Monies from credits subsequently made to the escrow account with respect to payments made by the seller’s buyers.
In the event that we are unable to recover the Refund Monies as aforesaid, due to the amounts credited to the escrow account being lower than the Refund Monies, Paynet shall be entitled to recover such Refund Monies (or any part thereof) from the User by (i) raising a debit note in respect of such monies; and/ or (ii) setting-off the remaining Refund Monies against the future payables to the seller and refund the same to the respective buyers. The seller will be liable to make payment of the Refund Monies or part thereof which has not been recovered by us forthwith. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged by the parties that the Fees charged by us in respect of the Disputed Transaction will not be refunded or repaid by us to the seller, buyer or any other person. Further, the Chargeback will be provided within 1 (one) week of the transaction and maximum amount of the Chargeback payable by Paynet to the buyer will be the value of the transaction only.
