ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This allocation of chargeback liability creates a clear financial obligation structure whereby merchants assume all chargeback costs and Adyen establishes an automatic recovery mechanism through settlement fund deductions, eliminating the need for separate collection procedures.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Merchants operating under this agreement are responsible for 100% of chargeback-related costs and fees, and Adyen's terms authorize the platform to directly offset these amounts from merchant payouts without requiring separate authorization for each deduction.
