Chargebacks: what happens if I dispute a payment with my bank

What a chargeback is, why to contact us first, and what happens to your account

A chargeback is when you ask your bank to reverse a card payment. If you want to report an unauthorised charge, please contact us first: we can usually look into it faster than your bank can.

Why contact us first?

  • We can see your purchase history and often explain or fix the problem straight away.

  • Chargebacks can take weeks, and your bank may still decide in our favour.

  • Our dispute process is free and usually quicker. Check first: Can I get a refund?

What happens if I raise a chargeback?

Chargebacks for Fanvue purchases aren't permitted under our Terms, so raising a chargeback leads to your Fanvue account being banned (T&Cs, Sections 3.12, 3.13 and 16.3).
​

Once your account is banned, you lose access to your subscriptions and purchases, and you can't open a new account.

If your card was used without your permission

Contact us so we can help. Check first: I don't recognise a charge from Fanvue.

I think my account was banned by mistake

You can appeal within 14 days of our notice by emailing [email protected] with an explanation and any evidence (T&Cs 16.6).
