Chargeback & Fraud Mitigation Policy

Waytobride.com strives to provide a secure and trustworthy platform for users to connect and build meaningful relationships. This policy outlines our approach to handling chargebacks and mitigating fraudulent activity on our site.

What is a Chargeback?

A chargeback occurs when a cardholder disputes a transaction with their issuing bank and requests a refund. This can happen for various reasons, including:

  • Unauthorized charges: The cardholder claims they did not authorize the purchase.

  • Product or service dissatisfaction: The cardholder believes the service or product was not as described.

  • Billing errors: There may be discrepancies in the amount charged or the date of the transaction.

  • Friendly fraud: This occurs when a cardholder initiates a chargeback for a legitimate purchase but then claims they didn't authorize it.

Our Commitment to Fraud Prevention

Waytobride.com takes significant measures to prevent fraudulent activity on our platform. These efforts include:

  • Secure payment processing: We utilize secure payment gateways that adhere to industry-standard security protocols.

  • Verification procedures: We employ verification tools to identify and potentially block suspicious transactions.

  • User authentication: We require users to authenticate themselves before making purchases.

  • Monitoring activity: Our system monitors user activity to identify patterns indicative of potential fraud.

Our Chargeback Response Process

We take chargebacks seriously and have a dedicated team to investigate and respond to them. Here's how we handle chargebacks:

  • Notification: If we receive a chargeback notification from your bank, we will notify you by email. The notification will detail the disputed amount and the reason for the chargeback.

  • Investigation: We will analyze the transaction details and user activity to determine the legitimacy of the chargeback. We will attempt to gather evidence to support the transaction's validity, such as:

    1. Order confirmation emails.

    2. Records of service delivery.

    3. Communication logs between you and the other user.

    4. Communication: We may attempt to contact the cardholder (with their permission) to understand the reason for the dispute and seek a resolution.

    5. Response: We will submit a response to your bank with our findings and supporting evidence.

While we understand occasional chargebacks may occur, a high volume of chargebacks can negatively impact your account on Waytobride.com. In cases of excessive chargebacks, we may take one or more of the following actions:

  • Account suspension: Your account may be temporarily or permanently suspended.

  • Increased scrutiny: Your transactions will be subject to increased scrutiny to identify potential fraud.

  • Termination of service: In severe cases, we may terminate your ability to offer services on Waytobride.com.

  • Dispute Resolution

If you disagree with our chargeback response, you have the right to dispute our decision. Please contact us at support@waytobride.com to initiate the dispute resolution process. We will review your case and provide a final decision within a reasonable timeframe.

Updates to this Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or industry standards. We will post any changes to the policy on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
