Note:

  1. The fee collected from you by Oracle for the original transaction is not returned when there is a chargeback (both partial and full).

  2. The Oracle chargeback fee is collected per chargeback incident (if a transaction goes through Chargeback and then goes through reversal following into a Second Chargeback state, then you are charged the chargeback fee twice).

  3. The original chargeback amount must be returned to the guest. Oracle deducts the chargeback amount from your account and it is paid back to the guest.

  4. The chargeback fee charged by Oracle is not returned to your account.
