U1pinless does NOT guarantee the quality of such VOIP service to match that of conventional circuit switched PSTN service because that is technically infeasible. It is important that the customers be aware of this distinction. Customers must dispute any charges for the services used in writing (email accepted) to U1pinless within thirty (30) days of the date of the charge or the customer waives any objection. Written statements disputing charges must be sent to: support@u1pinless.com.
16. Reporting an Unresolved Charge Dispute with Credit Card Company. While great care has been taken in the development of U1pinless system to avoid such situation, we recognize our valued customer’s right to report unresolved disputes on charges to his/her credit card company. However we strongly suggest the customer to view his/her purchase activity online and crosscheck with relevant credit card bill. U1pinless sincerely wishes to maintain good and lasting relationship with its valued Customer and so it is advised that the customer first discuss the transactions in question with U1pinless through Customer Support at 1(678) 325 (from USA), or by email at support@u1pinless.com. U1pinless maintains detailed log on every call made and every payment transaction by every customer for one full year. So we do not see any reason for any dispute not being solved by mutual discussion. If in case of dispute based on incorrect information is reported by the customer to its credit card company and is proved to be so, the customer agrees to be charged a $75.00 processing fee per erroneous dispute from his/her credit balance with U1pinless. In case of shortage of fund in customer’s account the balance may be collected from the customer through legal action, if needed. Excessive number of disputes may result in the cancellation of the customer account.
