6.1. To request a refund under Section 5, contact
info@sovisart.com with your order reference and a description of the issue. Because Sovisart, not Stripe, is the Merchant of Record for your transaction, refund and dispute requests are handled directly by Sovisart; Stripe acts only as the payment processor that executes an approved refund back to your original payment method, and does not independently mediate disputes between you and Sovisart.
6.2. We request that Clients contact us before initiating a chargeback or bank dispute, so that any technical or billing issue can be resolved directly and promptly. Because Sovisart is the Merchant of Record, a chargeback filed with your card issuer is handled through Stripe's dispute process and the relevant card network directly against Sovisart's account — there is no Paddle-style merchant-network intermediary absorbing or pre-screening dispute volume on Sovisart's behalf. Chargebacks initiated without a prior attempt at resolution through Section 6.1 may still result in immediate suspension of account access during the review period.
