1. Policy Purpose
Glow Beauty Case LTD is committed to resolving all customer issues fairly and promptly.
This policy exists to:
- Prevent fraudulent chargebacks
- Protect the business from financial loss
- Ensure disputes are handled correctly and in accordance with agreed terms
We take misuse of the chargeback process seriously and will defend all claims with full supporting evidence.
2. Requirement to Contact Us First
Before initiating any chargeback or payment dispute, you must:
- Contact us directly
- Allow us reasonable time to investigate and respond
- Follow our Returns & Refund Policy where applicable
Failure to follow this process may result in the dispute being challenged in full.
3. Refund & Return Conditions
Refunds are only issued where:
- The item has been returned to us
- The return has been authorised
- The item has been received and inspected
Customers must:

- Are sent to an incorrect address

4. Delivery & Transit Disputes
All orders are shipped with:
- Tracking
- Delivery confirmation
- Where applicable, signature or photographic evidence
Delivery is considered complete when the courier confirms successful delivery to the address provided at checkout.
Delays in Transit
Delivery timeframes are estimates only.
Delays may occur due to:
- Customs processing
- Courier handling
- External logistics factors
Where tracking shows the item is in transit, a chargeback based solely on delay will be formally disputed.
5. Non-Delivery Claims
If a parcel is marked as delivered but not received, the customer must:
- Check the delivery address and safe locations
- Contact the courier directly
- Notify us promptly
Where required:
- A Legal Declaration of Non-Delivery must be completed

No refund or replacement will be issued until:

We rely on courier evidence, including:

- Signature
6. Chargeback Handling
If a chargeback is initiated, we will provide full evidence to the payment provider, including:

Where a chargeback is raised:
- Without contacting us first
- Without returning the item
- Contrary to our policies
We will challenge the claim in full.
7. Misuse of the Chargeback Process
The chargeback system is intended to protect customers from genuine issues such as:
- Non-delivery
- Faulty or misdescribed goods
It must not be used to:
- Avoid return requirements
- Retain goods while seeking a refund
- Dispute delivery where valid proof exists
Where a chargeback is found to be unjustified or raised in breach of these Terms, we reserve the right to:
- Recover associated costs and fees
- Take further action where appropriate
8. Non-Delivery Fraud Prevention
Where repeated or suspicious non-delivery claims occur, we may:
- Require signed or restricted delivery methods

False or misleading claims may result in:
