excessive Chargeback of transactions or excessive failure of transactions or excessive buyer disputes and/or any other reason

any amount due to aadhaarkyc from sellers

If there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a transaction has been conducted in breach of this Terms of Use or in violation of any applicable laws or as a fraudulent transaction against the partner bank(s) or any buyer, the partner bank(s) shall be entitled to suspend or withhold the payments of the buyer that are due to the seller, pending enquiries by the partner bank(s) and till the resolution of such issues.

If any of the issues stated in this Clause 12 (Settlements) are caused by or on behalf of the sellers, sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless aadhaarkyc against any such claims made by the partner bank(s), or the buyer, as the case may be. aadhaarkyc shall also have the rights to block any future payments in this regard.

In case of an occurrence of a Chargeback event, aadhaarkyc shall be entitled to withhold the settlements to the sellers, pending enquiries by the partner bank(s) or any regulatory body, as the case may be, till the resolution of such issues. aadhaarkyc shall also have the right to block any future payments to the sellers in this regard until all the issues relating to the Chargeback event(s) are resolve

Transaction Disputes

Chargeback is an approved and settled transaction that the partner bank(s), upon receiving a chargeback request from the buyer, reverses to the buyer, subject to the seller being unable to provide an explanation along with documentary evidence to the satisfaction of the partner bank(s) as to why the chargeback request should be rejected or the seller agreeing to such chargeback (“CHARGEBACK”).

Transactions may be disputed at anytime up to 180 (one hundred eighty) days from the date of transaction by the buyers as per the Card Association Rules. In the event of rejection/ suspension of payments to the seller, Chargebacks, refunds and/or any other dispute relating to the transactions contemplated under these Terms of Use (“DISPUTED TRANSACTION“), on any grounds whatsoever, we will forthwith notify the seller of the same.

On such notification the seller will conduct an internal review of such matter and will, within 5 (five) working days from receipt of notification, revert to us in writing either:

providing us with a statement explaining how the Disputed Transaction is not warranted, together with all documentary evidence in support of contesting such Disputed Transaction.

In the event that the seller provides a Refund Request to us or fails to contest such Disputed Transaction within the aforesaid 5 (five) working days or contests Disputed Transaction without providing supporting documentation to ours, payment service providers, Card Association and/ or issuing institution’s satisfaction, we will be entitled to recover the Refund Monies from credits subsequently made to the Nodal Account with respect to payments made by the seller’s buyers.

In the event that we are unable to recover the Refund Monies as aforesaid, due to the amounts credited to the Nodal Account being lower than the Refund Monies, we will deduct the remaining Refund Monies from the interest free, refundable funds provided and replenished by you to aadhaarkyc from time to time (“SECURITY DEPOSIT”) and/ or set-off the remaining Refund Monies against the future payables to the seller and refund the same to the respective buyers. The seller will be liable to make payment of the Refund Monies or part thereof which has not been recovered by us forthwith. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged by the parties that the Fees charged by us in respect of the Disputed Transaction will not be refunded or repaid by us to the seller, buyer or any other person.

In the event either party issues a notice of termination to other party, aadhaarkyc reserves the right to withhold settlements towards sellers relating to such transactions which have not been settled as on the date of termination notice for a period of 180 (one hundred eighty) days (“WITHHOLDING TERM”). Parties agree that aadhaarkyc shall withhold such amount for the purpose of settlement of any Chargeback, refund and/or any other claim which may be raised by the buyer, post termination notice to these Terms. aadhaarkyc hereby undertakes that all outstanding dues (if any) will be settled in favour of the sellers after the expiration of Withholding Term subject to resolution of any Chargeback, refund and/or any claim by buyers, as the case may be.
