If a "chargeback" or PayPal dispute is triggered due to this disagreement, the Service(s) shall be suspended until the debate has been settled up. For reactivating your Service(s), all pending payments must first be paid off.

In addition to the outstanding balance, there could be a chargeback fee associated with pre-arbitrations and chargebacks. The magnitude of this fee - as well as when it is charged off - depends on your case.

You can find more information about these fees in your billing ticket connected to the respective issue or dispute. If you're uncertain where to locate these details, don't hesitate to get in touch with us for further assistance!
