Chargeback Reason

Goods or Services were only partially delivered or not delivered at all. Included in this description are funds dispensed from an ATM or funds loaded to a Stored Value Digital Facility (SVDF).

Description

• The Goods or Services purchased by the Cardmember were only partially received or not received at all. Where partial receipt makes the entire purchase unsuitable or unacceptable, the Cardmember must attempt to return the Goods received or cancel the Services before full Credit may be authorized.
• In the case of Transactions to fund an SVDF, the funds were not loaded to the SVDF or only partially loaded.
• In the case of funds dispensed from an ATM or funds loaded to an SVDF, no return of partially dispensed/loaded funds is necessary. The Chargeback amount is the amount of funds claimed not to have been received.
• Except in the case of ATM Transactions, Transactions to fund an SVDF, or Transactions where the Goods or Services were not received at all, the Issuer must request that the Cardmember make an attempt to contact the S/E to return the Goods or cancel the Services in compliance with both the merchant’s return policy and local laws and regulations.

Conditions

The Issuer must meet all the following condition:

1. The Cardmember made a Good Faith attempt to either obtain or cancel the Goods or Services not received or return the partially received Good or Services in compliance with both the S/E’s cancellation/return policy and local law and regulation.

And one (1) or more of the following conditions is also met:

1. The amount to be charged back will either be for that part of the Goods or Services which were not received or for the entire Transaction amount when partially delivered shipments have been returned to the S/E. In the case of funds dispensed from an ATM, no return of partially dispensed funds is necessary.
2. The Cardmember ordered Goods or Services via mail/telephone/Internet means, to be delivered to the address specified by the Cardmember and the Goods or Services were not received.
3. In the case of Transactions to fund an SVDF, the funds were not loaded to the SVDF or only partially loaded. The amount to be charged back is limited to the difference between the Presentment Amount and the amount loaded to the SVDF. No return of partially loaded funds is necessary.
