Credit Card chargeback
 
If you place a chargeback with your credit card company (on purpose or by mistake) for an order that you placed and received, there will be a $50.00 research fee charged to your account upon reversal of the chargeback by our merchant provider to cover our investigative expenses to prove that you did make the purchase and that you did receive it . NO EXCEPTIONS! - If you do not remember making the purchase - call the number on your statement next to the charge BEFORE calling your bank! 
 
If you wrongfully and fraudulently dispute a credit card charge, Ground Control Electronics will turn all your information, including, but not limited to address, phone number, and IP address to a third-party collection agency. Your account will be reported to all credit bureaus as a delinquent collection account and this will severely damage your credit rating for at least the next seven (7) years. Credit card fraud is a crime and will not be treated lightly. No expense will be spared and all fraud without exception will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In addition, we will pursue civil legal action seeking any loss of income related to the fraud, including business, legal fees, research costs, employee down time and loss of revenues. 
 
We consider credit card chargebacks to be fraud if you made no reasonable effort to notify us that a problem existed, indicate the transaction was not as described, or to resolve or clarify a situation or matter. A simple phone call, email or letter normally resolves any misunderstandings.  We can be reached at 1-877-762-5432 between the hours of 10am to 6pm (Pacific Standard Time).
