Grievances & Dispute Redressal Policy

PayGoal values the satisfaction of their customers & merchants (hereinafter referred to as “User”) and strives to provide high-quality services. However, we understand that there may be times when a user may have a complaint or concern. This Grievances Redressal Policy is designed to ensure that such issues are handled within time and in an efficient manner.

Grievance redressal refers to the process of addressing and resolving grievances or complaints raised by individuals or groups. The process involves listening to the complainant, investigating the issue, and taking necessary actions to resolve the problem. Grievance redressal can be formal or informal and can occur in various circumstances based on the below mentioned disputes.

Types of Disputes:

  1. Unauthorized Transactions: This occurs when a payment is made on a user's account without their permission or knowledge. This can happen due to fraud or other unauthorized activity.
  2. Billing Errors: This occurs when a user is charged an incorrect amount for a product or service, or is charged for something they did not receive.
  3. Merchandise or Service Issues: This occurs when a user receives a product or service that is different from what was promised, is defective or damaged, or is not delivered at all.
  4. Refunds: This occurs when a user requests a refund for a product or service, but does not receive it, or the amount refunded is less than what was expected.
  5. Chargebacks: This occurs when a user disputes a payment with their bank or card issuer, and the funds are requested for reversal to the user's account.
  6. Subscription Cancellations: This occurs when a user cancels a subscription but is still charged for it, or when a user continues to be charged for a subscription after it has been cancelled.
  7. Disputed Fees: This occurs when a user disputes a fee that they were charged, such as a late payment fee or an overdraft fee.
