(1) a Milestone Payment, the Dispute Resolution Process may be followed; or
(2) our fees and charges, the process set out must be followed.

If we agree to the refund, the funds will be received by the User via the same payment method(s) that the User used to make the original payment to us.We may refund funds to Users irrespective of whether a User has requested funds be refunded if:
(1) we are required by law or consider that we are required by law to do so;
(2) we determine that refunding funds to the User will avoid any dispute or an increase in our costs;
(3) we refund funds to the User in accordance with any refund policy specified by us from time to time;
(4) we find out that the original payment made by the User is fraudulent;
(5) the User made a duplicate payment in error; or

You can request a refund by using our customer support website or emailing us at contact@lancify.net.
Once you have made a milestone payment, you expressly agree to use the dispute resolution process in this agreement, expressly agree to be bound by its ruling and expressly agree not to initiate any chargeback request with your card issuer.

If you have already initiated a chargeback request with your credit card issuer, you must not request a refund of funds by contacting us and must not seek double recovery.If we reasonably determine, having considered all the relevant circumstances, that you have made an excessive or unreasonable number of requests to refund funds back to you or chargebacks, we may suspend, limit or close your Account.
