Payment Terms

At this time, JOSIE Job Search. (josiejobsearch.com) will only accept Paypal as payment method.

1. PAYING BY PAYPAL:
   

   Initial payments paid by PayPal, are recurring. This will cause automatic payments to be made from the client's PayPal account on each actual due date, as long as the client's PayPal account is current.
   
   
2. PAYING BY PAYPAL E-CHECK:

   Orders paid by PayPal e-check (direct bank transfer via PayPal) will not be considered to be paid until the e-check has cleared. This usually takes about 5 days. If the client chooses to pay hosting invoices via PayPal e-check, the client is responsible for ensuring that payment is initiated at PayPal in time for the payment to clear before or on the due date. Alternatively, a client choosing to pay via e-check should consider pre-stocking/refilling his or her Member account with funds so that future invoices may be automatically paid from those funds once the refill e-check payment has cleared.

3. CHARGEBACKS AND BANK REVERSALS
   
   A chargeback is the reversal of charges by the owner of a credit card or bank account after payment has been made. Chargebacks are a very serious matter because they have an adverse effect on the rate we pay for all transaction fees, as well as on our merchant risk ratings. Additionally, we have to pay high penalty fees on each and every chargeback. A high risk rating can ultimately prevent a merchant from being able to accept credit cards or Paypal. Therefore we utilize strict fraud-screening procedures before accepting any order, and will vigorously defend and/or impose penalties and collect costs for chargebacks.

   Client agrees not to make any chargebacks or payment reversals against josiejobsearch. If a chargeback or payment reversal results, the related invoice will become unpaid. Regardless of the reason the client initiated the chargeback, ANY payment that results in a chargeback or reversal will cause the client's Member Account and all services related to the transaction with us to be immediately seized and/or suspended. In addition, in the event of any chargeback or payment reversal, client will be billed for, at minimum, all of the following fees, penalties, and costs:

1. $25.00 Suspension Fee for suspension of the client's Member Account; plus
2. $50.00 Chargeback Fee per chargeback or payment-reversed invoice; plus
3. The amount due on each invoice on which payment was reversed; plus
4. All related labor and time costs: Dealing with chargebacks is extremely time-intensive and robs us of time that could be spent in normal income-producing activities. Therefore, any client initiating a chargeback shall be billed $75.00 per hour labor charge for all time that is spent by JOSIE Job Search or any of its representatives to deal with or defend the chargeback, with a minimum of two hours ($150.00), and billed at additional half-hour increments after the first two hours. Labor billing will include all time spent in communication with and/or handling and/or dealing with: the client, banks, merchant account providers, card processors, Chargeback Processing Center, email, telephone, postal mail, faxes, collections agencies, attorneys, mediators, and/or any third parties in relation to the chargeback/s, related invoices, payments, fees, penalties, suspensions, costs, or any dispute or collection issues thereof; plus
5. All other fees, penalties, and charges incurred by JOSIE Job Search as a result of the chargeback/s, including but not limited to collection costs, attorney costs and fees, and court costs and fees.

The client's Member Account will not be reactivated or accessible to the client until we receive all of the following:

1. For each charged-back transaction, a written and signed statement from the client retracting the chargeback and admitting to the validity of the original charge. To expedite fact-checking during the Chargeback Processing Center's investigation, this statement must also include: client's full name; name on the credit card, credit card type and last 4 digits; the amount; date paid; Invoice number; Order ID; and Transaction ID.
2. Written notification from the merchant bank or our Chargeback Processing Center that the chargeback has been withdrawn. This is necessary to enable us to remove the "black mark" on our merchant risk ratings with our card processors.
3. Confirmation from our bank, in the form of the funds being re-deposited to our bank account, that the chargeback has been reversed or withdrawn.
4. A bank check (not a personal check) from the client in the amount of minimum $25.00 to reactivate the client's Member Account.

Client consents to the possible retention of all voicemails between JOSIE Job Search or its representatives and client or client's representatives, for the mutual protection of all parties. By engaging the services of JOSIE Job Search, the client gives JOSIE Job Search the right at the sole discretion of JOSIE Job Search to provide and/or to request any information to any third party in relation to an investigation of reversal or chargeback. This includes copies of all communications between JOSIE Job Search and its representatives and the client or client's representatives. Client authorizes and indemnifies client's ISP, financial institution(s), or any third party to release and disclose information about the client and the purchase for us to prove in a court a law that this was indeed a legitimate purchase and that client did purchase the service or product. Client agrees to pay all related charges, including collection fees, legal fees, and costs, should an investigation arise in relation to any chargeback or bank reversal associated with the purchase of our products and services. Interest at a rate of 24% will be calculated against any balance that is in dispute due to a chargeback, bank reversal or any similar cancellation of payment.

JOSIE Job Search reserves the right to permanently add complete and detailed information to one or more chargeback protection databases to be shared by other merchants in the event of any actual or threatened chargeback or payment reversal. This information will include, but may not be limited to, purchase date and all order information; your complete personal, company, and contact data; and details on the incident. Further note that our privacy policy will be null & void.

A chargeback may result in the refusal by JOSIE Job Search to accept any future orders at all from a client on whose account a chargeback occurred. If JOSIE Job Search does choose, at its sole discretion, to continue providing service of any kind to a client on whose account a chargeback occurred, then JOSIE Job Search shall have the right to dictate specific terms of payment for all current and future invoices on that client's account(s).
