Licensee agrees and understands that any and all chargebacks filed on any business, regardless of their validity can adversely affect a business’ ability to process and accept payments and be a source of damages.  In the event that the Licensor initiates a chargeback without contacting customer service in writing, Licensee shall owe Licensor $250 in liquidated damages per occurrence/ chargeback in addition to any and all other costs and fees associated with defending the chargeback regardless of the chargebacks claimed validity.  Please reach out to customer service in writing first to avoid this charge.  Customer service will be afforded up to five (5) business days to investigate and reply to said refund request.
