The terms establish that fraudulent order claims and chargebacks are prohibited conduct, and the agreement states that DoorDash reserves the right to suspend or permanently deactivate accounts for such conduct.
Interpretive note: The provision applies to 'fraudulent' chargebacks, but the boundary between fraudulent and legitimate disputes is not defined in the document; application in practice may depend on DoorDash's internal review procedures.
This provision prohibits users from making false claims about their orders or disputing legitimate charges through chargebacks; users who file legitimate disputes should be aware that DoorDash treats fraudulent claim-making as a terms violation that can result in account suspension.

"(x) You will not falsely or fraudulently claim that your order or items from your order were missing, incorrect, of poor quality, defective, or never delivered and you will return any order mistakenly delivered to you if requested by DoorDash, a Merchant, or a Contractor. (y) You will not falsely or fraudulently dispute a credit or debit card charge or initiate or request a chargeback with respect to any charge from DoorDash or related to your use of the DoorDash platform.— Excerpt from DoorDash's DoorDash Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Chargeback rights are protected under Regulation Z (implementing the Truth in Lending Act) for credit card transactions and Regulation E (implementing the Electronic Fund Transfer Act) for debit card transactions in the US; these regulations provide consumers with dispute rights that cannot be contractually waived. The agreement's prohibition on chargebacks applies specifically to fraudulent or false disputes, which does not limit legitimate statutory dispute rights, but the framing may create ambiguity about users' ability to initiate good-faith disputes. The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive practices, and characterizing legitimate chargebacks as prohibited conduct could engage FTC scrutiny. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The prohibition on fraudulent chargebacks is standard in consumer platform agreements, but the framing of any chargeback initiation as potentially prohibited may create tension with consumers' statutory rights under Regulation Z and Regulation E. Account suspension as a consequence of a disputed chargeback outcome could be scrutinized if applied to good-faith disputes. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: US consumers have federal statutory rights to dispute credit and debit card charges under TILA and EFTA; these rights cannot be waived by contract. The provision's application to debit card chargebacks creates particular exposure under Regulation E, which provides robust dispute resolution rights for consumers. California and other states with strong consumer protection laws may provide additional protections. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Payment processors and card networks have their own chargeback rules that operate independently of DoorDash's terms; DoorDash's prohibition on chargebacks does not override card network rules or consumers' statutory rights under Regulation Z or Regulation E. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether DoorDash's account suspension practices for chargeback-related conduct are calibrated to distinguish fraudulent from legitimate disputes, and whether suspension in response to a good-faith chargeback could create liability under consumer protection statutes. Documentation and evidence requirements for evaluating fraud claims should be reviewed.
