Some of the most common reasons for a Chargeback are (i) the Transaction Data was prepared incorrectly or fraudulently (ii) Merchant did not obtain proper authorization, or did not provide a correct and legible authorization code on the Transaction Data, (iii) the Customer disputes participating in or approving the Transaction, (iv) the Customer alleges that return of goods was improperly refused or that a refund was not processed for the Customer, (v) the Customer has asserted what the Customer believes is a good faith claim or defence against the Transaction, or (vi) the Payment Instrument was not actually presented at the time of the Transaction and the Customer denies making the purchase.

11.3.

All Chargebacks shall correspond to the whole or part of the Settlement value of the original Transaction or, at the option of Paynetics, to an amount converted to the Settlement currency from the currency of Chargeback by the Card Scheme to Paynetics at the rate of exchange quoted by VISA International/ Mastercard International on the day the Chargeback is processed.

11.5. Where a Chargeback occurs, Paynetics shall immediately be entitled to debit the Merchant Account and/or make a deduction from any Remittance in accordance with clause 11.2. to recover:
11.5.1 the full amount of the relevant Chargeback; and
11.5.2 any other costs, expenses, liabilities or Fines which Paynetics may incur as a result of or in connection with such Chargeback ("Chargeback Costs").

11.6. A Chargeback represents an immediate liability from the Merchant to Paynetics and where the full amount of any Chargeback and/or any Chargeback Costs is not debited by Paynetics from Merchant's Settlement Account or deducted from any Remittance, then Paynetics shall be entitled to otherwise recover from the Merchant by any means the full amount of such Chargeback and Chargeback Costs (or the balance thereof, as the case may be).

Acquirer will not investigate or attempt to obtain a reversal or other adjustment to any Chargeback if Merchant has not timely responded to the notice.

11.9. As Chargebacks may arise a considerable period after the date of the relevant Transaction, Merchant shall acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any termination of the Contract for any reason whatsoever, Paynetics shall remain entitled to recover Chargebacks and Chargeback Costs from Merchant (and, where relevant, from any Person who has provided a guarantee or security relating to Merchant's obligations under the Contract) in respect of all Chargebacks that occur in relation to Transactions effected during the term of the Contract.

11.13. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of these General terms, if Paynetics takes any legal actions against Merchant for any Chargebacks or any amounts due to Paynetics hereunder, Merchant shall pay the costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Paynetics, whether suit is commenced or not.

11.14. Merchant undertakes to use all reasonable efforts to maintain chargeback rates under the Card Schemes thresholds as they may change from time to time. Paynetics will inform merchant for any changes when they occur by e-mail.

11.15. Currently the chargeback rate of Visa shall stay below 1% and less than 100 chargeback transactions per month (standard criteria) and below 2% and less than 500 chargeback transactions per month (high risk criteria).

11.16. Currently the chargeback rate of MasterCard shall stay below 1.5 % (calculated against sales transactions in the preceding month) and less than 100 chargeback transactions per calendar month.

11.17. Merchant shall also immediately notify Paynetics when it is foreseeable that chargeback transactions will be more than 1.5% and more than 100 transactions accumulatively during a calendar month.

11.18. A reporting fee will be charged to merchant for each chargeback-monitored merchant (CMM) report and/or excessive chargeback merchant (ECM) report that Paynetics needs to send to MasterCard on behalf of the merchant according to MasterCard rules.
