If, when the credit card holder submits the application for Credit Card Chargeback, the relevant dispute has already been resolved through the Dispute Determination process by M.I.N.D or that negotiations between the Seller and the Buyer have already been completed, but Import & Export Service Provider or its affiliate(s) has not yet processed any Advance Payment, then Import & Export Service Provider or its affiliate(s) may choose to suspend the processing of any Advance Payment until the determination of the chargeback process, and follow the result as determined by the bank or other third party. The Seller shall proactively defend itself against any application for Credit Card Chargeback and provide relevant evidence in accordance with the requirements and time limit as determined by M.I.N.D, regardless of whether any decision has been made by M.I.N.D under the Dispute Determination process.
    6. In the event where the Seller loses in the investigation of the Credit Card Chargeback, Import & Export Service Provider or its affiliate(s) may, under the following circumstances, waive any claim against the Seller, in part or in whole:
      • The credit card holder applies for Credit Card Chargeback on the ground that the use of such credit card is not authorized by the credit card holder (including stolen card or fraud), in which case the disclaimer clauses in the Fraud Chargeback Protection shall apply;
      • Prior to the credit card holder’s application for Credit Card Chargeback (save for the circumstances as described in Article 13.6.1), M.I.N.D has already accepted the credit card holder’s application for Dispute Determination and determined that the Seller shall have no liability; and the credit card holder subsequently applies for Credit Card Chargeback with the same or similar reason and there is no circumstance arisen under which M.I.N.D has the right to reevaluate the Dispute Determination decision (including but not limited to submission of new evidence by the credit card holder or the Seller is found to have provided false evidence);
      • The Buyer and the Seller have reached a settlement agreement in respect of a dispute relating to the Credit Card Chargeback and the Seller has performed its obligations under such agreement, and that the transaction between the Buyer and the Seller is true and the Seller commits no default or other fault; then the Buyer subsequently applies to the bank for Credit Card Chargeback with the same or similar reason;
      • Any other circumstances under which Import & Export Service Provider or its affiliate(s) has waived any claim, including but not limited to system failure.
    7. In the event where Import & Export Service Provider or its affiliate(s) may have the right to waive any claim against the Seller in part or in whole, the Seller is still obliged to provide the evidence for defense against Credit Card Chargeback as required by M.I.N.D. If the Seller fails to cooperate, or delays in the provision of evidence, or cannot provide valid evidence within a specified time, thereby causing the success of a Credit Card Chargeback application, then Import & Export Service Provider shall still have the right to claim the sum of the Advance Payment from the Seller.
    8. Pursuant to the Rules, the Seller is required to repay the sum of Advance Payment made by Import & Export Service Provider or its affiliate(s), the Seller shall perform its repayment obligation within the specified time. Otherwise, the Seller shall also bear the liquidated damages for overdue repayment and all relevant costs incurred by Import & Export Service Provider and its affiliate(s) arising from any enforcement actions pursuant to such overdue sum (including but not limited to attorney’s fees, travelling expenses and notarial fees).
