8.B Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
By placing a bid, making a purchase, or completing payment through Victorins Vintage, our official websites (www.victorins.com, shop.victorins.com, and www.victorinsvintage.com), our social media platforms (including but not limited to Instagram, Facebook, and direct message inquiries), or any affiliated auction or e-commerce platform (including but not limited to LiveAuctioneers, 1stDibs, Etsy, or direct invoice), you acknowledge and agree to the following:
1. Binding Nature of Bids and Sales
All bids, purchases, and payments constitute legally binding contracts between the buyer and Victorins Vintage (or its consignor). Once a lot is won, an item is purchased, or an invoice is issued, the buyer is obligated to complete payment in accordance with the posted terms.
All transactions are governed by these Terms & Conditions of Sale, including our Returns, Refunds & Authenticity Policy, which you confirm having reviewed prior to bidding, purchasing, or submitting payment through any channel.
2. Waiver of Chargeback Rights
You expressly waive any right to initiate or pursue a chargeback, payment reversal, or retrieval request with your credit card issuer, bank, or payment processor for any matter covered under our published policies.
This includes, but is not limited to:
-
Buyer’s remorse or dissatisfaction with condition, value, or authenticity after sale;
-
Disputes related to shipping delays, customs inspections, or third-party handling;
-
Claims contradicted by condition reports, item descriptions, photographs, or written correspondence prior to sale;
-
Failure to review the lot listing, website description, or terms before committing to purchase.
3. Dispute Resolution Process
Any issue regarding description, condition, or delivery must first be raised in writing within five (5) business days of delivery.
Victorins Vintage reserves the right to review documentation and determine, at its sole discretion, whether an adjustment, repair, store credit, or other resolution (if any) is appropriate.
Attempting to bypass this process by filing a chargeback constitutes a material breach of contract and may result in legal action, suspension of buyer privileges, and recovery of all related costs and damages.
4. Evidence and Documentation
The buyer authorizes Victorins Vintage to retain all related sales records — including bid logs, website orders, direct messages, payment confirmations, shipping documents, photos, and communications — as admissible evidence in any dispute, arbitration, or court proceeding.
These materials may be provided to payment processors, financial institutions, or legal authorities as proof of contract fulfillment and buyer authorization.
5. Fraudulent or Improper Chargebacks
Any chargeback determined to be fraudulent, unfounded, or contrary to these Terms shall entitle Victorins Vintage to seek full reimbursement of:
-
The total transaction amount;
-
Legal, collection, and administrative costs;
-
Damages resulting from loss of reputation, platform sanctions, or business interruption.
Victorins Vintage further reserves the right to:
-
Report the buyer and transaction to relevant auction or sales platforms, financial institutions, and credit bureaus;
-
Pursue collection or legal remedies; and
-
Permanently restrict the buyer’s access to future sales, auctions, or services.
Authenticity Guarantee and Disputes
1. Authenticity Guarantee
Victorins Vintage guarantees the authenticity of all items to the best of our knowledge and based on information available at the time of sale. Each item is carefully reviewed, authenticated, and described in good faith.
2. Brand-Issued Verification Requirement
In the rare event that a buyer wishes to challenge an item’s authenticity, the claim must be supported exclusively by an official written determination issued directly by the original brand or manufacturer (e.g., Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Dior, etc.).
-
Third-party appraisals, laboratory reports, or authentication services are not accepted under any circumstances.
-
The document must be on official brand letterhead, signed or stamped by the brand, and verifiable by Victorins Vintage.
3. Condition Requirement
Any item subject to an authenticity review must be returned in the exact same condition as originally delivered — including all packaging, boxes, certificates, and accessories. Items that have been worn, altered, resized, polished, or modified in any way will not be eligible for review, return, or credit.
4. Remedy and Limitations
If the claim is substantiated by the brand itself and verified by Victorins Vintage, the buyer will be issued store credit only, equal to the purchase price paid (excluding shipping, insurance, and related fees).
-
No cash, card, or PayPal refunds are provided under any circumstances.
-
Store credit is non-transferable and valid toward future purchases only.
5. Time Frame and Procedure
Any authenticity inquiry must be submitted in writing within seven (7) calendar days of delivery. Claims received after this period, or without official brand-issued documentation, will not be considered.
