Our suppliers rely on authorized third-party payment processors in order to bill you through a payment account linked to you, and henceforth you hereby designate us as payment agent in order to transmit your personal information to such third party payment processors, which are the ones that made the charges, not us.
Accordingly, Polisystems shall not be held responsible for any and all errors, fees and currency conversion fees by the payment processor, and you should review its terms and policies from time to time, which will govern the provision of services to you.
All users must provide us with valid and current billing information. Except as expressly set forth herein, all payment charges are final and non-cancelable. If we detect any chargeback or if any payment is not received by us or our payment processors for any reason, you will promptly pay us any and all amounts due to us upon notice. Any failure or inability by us to process any payment hereunder does not relieve you from your payment obligations.
A chargeback is typically caused when a customer disputes a charge that appears on their bank or payment processing statement. A charge-back may result in the reversal of a transaction, with the amount charged back to you. You can be assessed charge-backs for: (i) customer disputes; (ii) unauthorized or improperly authorized transactions; (iii) transactions that do not comply with payment processor network rules or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious; or (iv) any reversals for any reason by our payment processor or the institutions handling the transaction.
When a chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to Polisystems for the full amount of payment of the chargeback, plus any associated fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by our payment processor or the financial institutions handling the transaction). Accordingly, you hereby represent and warrant that you expressly appoint Polisystems as your agent, with full power to recover these amounts by debiting your account or setting off any amounts owed to you by us.
If we are unable to recover funds related to a charge-back for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the chargeback immediately upon demand; thus you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation, costs assessed by our payment processor, legal fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of any unpaid charge-backs unpaid by you.
Depending on the scope of Polisystems Services as provided to the necessities of each customer, close collaboration may be necessary between Polisystems and the customer. In this case, intermediate objectives and reciprocal obligations of cooperation and acceptance of the works will be defined by an individual contract. If the customer does not fulfill these reception and cooperation obligations, Polisystems is released from the obligation to continue providing services to it. After sending a warning to the customer, Polisystems can further invoice the costs incurred up to that point, the payment of which will become due immediately.
