  • Even in the case of fraud, before initiating any Chargeback, you agree to first address the matter directly with us in writing to give us a reasonable time to investigate the matter and respond to you.
  • If you initiate a Chargeback relating to any amount we validly charge to your Card without our prior written authorization, you agree to pay us for all fees and costs, including attorney’s fees and legal expenses, we incur to dispute and respond to that Chargeback.
  • If you initiate a charge back or payment dispute with your credit card provider or financial institution for a travel service or fee that was validly provided by Travel by Dezign, you remain responsible for the full amount due. You agree to reimburse Travel by Dezign for any expenses, fees, or losses incurred as a result of the charge back, including but not limited to merchant processing fees, legal expenses, and collection costs.
