ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause allocates chargeback risk entirely to the merchant and establishes a direct collection mechanism through settlement fund deductions, which affects cash flow management and reserve account requirements for merchants using the payment processor.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Merchants are required to absorb all costs associated with chargebacks and refunds, and Checkout.com is authorized to satisfy these amounts through automated deductions from settlement or reserve accounts without requiring separate collection procedures.
