Chargebacks
If we receive a charge-back or payment dispute (i.e. PayPal Dispute) from a credit card company or bank, your service and/or contract will be suspended without notice. A 50€ charge-back fee (issued to recover fees passed on to us by the credit company), plus any outstanding balances accrued as a result of the charge-back(s) must be paid in full. Instead of issuing a charge-back, please contact us to address any billing issues. Requesting a chargeback or opening a PayPal dispute for a valid charge from us is fraud, and is never an appropriate or even a legal mean of obtaining a refund. Please read carefully and make sure you fully understand our Cancellation/Refund policy prior to making a payment.
