Fraud & Compliance Policy

Zurgle is committed to maintaining a secure, trustworthy, and compliant platform for our customers, partners, and business operations. This Fraud & Compliance Policy outlines the measures we may take to prevent, identify, investigate, and respond to fraudulent, deceptive, unauthorized, or unlawful activity.

1. Purpose of This Policy

The purpose of this policy is to help protect customers and Zurgle from activities that may result in financial loss, unauthorized transactions, misuse of accounts, or violations of applicable laws and regulations.

We may use reasonable fraud-prevention and compliance measures to review transactions, accounts, orders, and other activities conducted through our platform.

2. Prohibited Fraudulent Activities

The following activities are prohibited:

• Using stolen or unauthorized payment information.
• Providing false or misleading identity or billing information.
• Creating accounts for fraudulent purposes.
• Using another person’s account without authorization.
• Attempting to obtain products or services through deception.
• Manipulating promotions, discounts, refunds, or credits.
• Submitting false claims regarding orders or transactions.
• Using the platform to facilitate illegal activity.
• Attempting to bypass fraud-prevention or verification controls.
• Engaging in other activity that we reasonably believe may be fraudulent or unlawful.

This list is not exhaustive.

3. Transaction Monitoring

To protect our customers and business, we may review transactions for indicators of potentially fraudulent or unauthorized activity.

Depending on the circumstances, we may consider factors such as:

• Order and transaction history.
• Payment and billing information.
• Shipping information.
• Account activity.
• Unusual purchasing patterns.
• Repeated payment failures.
• Discrepancies in customer information.
• Other relevant fraud-prevention signals.

These measures are intended to help identify potentially unauthorized or suspicious activity.

4. Verification Requests

We may request additional information or verification before completing certain transactions.

Verification may include confirmation of account, payment, billing, shipping, identity, or other information reasonably necessary to evaluate a transaction.

If requested information cannot be provided or verified, we may delay, restrict, or cancel the transaction where appropriate.

5. Order Cancellation

We reserve the right to refuse, hold, or cancel an order where we reasonably suspect:

• Fraudulent activity.
• Unauthorized payment use.
• Identity or account misuse.
• Manipulation of promotions or pricing.
• False or misleading information.
• Violation of our policies.
• A legal or compliance concern.

If payment has already been received for a cancelled order, any eligible refund will be handled according to our applicable refund procedures.

6. Account Security

Customers are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should not share passwords or other authentication information with unauthorized individuals.

If you believe your account has been compromised, used without authorization, or accessed by someone else, please contact our support team promptly.

We may temporarily restrict an account while investigating suspected unauthorized activity.

7. Payment Fraud

We work with payment providers and other service providers to process transactions securely.

We do not knowingly permit the use of unauthorized payment methods or payment information.

If a payment is identified as potentially fraudulent, we may place the transaction on hold, request additional verification, cancel the transaction, or take other appropriate action.

8. Chargebacks and Disputes

Customers who have concerns regarding a transaction should contact our support team so that we can investigate the issue.

We may review chargebacks and payment disputes to determine whether a transaction was authorized and whether the applicable order, refund, or payment requirements were satisfied.

Additional information may be requested during the review process.

Please refer to our Chargeback Policy for additional information.

9. Compliance With Applicable Laws

Zurgle seeks to comply with applicable laws, regulations, payment requirements, and industry standards relevant to our operations.

Where required, we may cooperate with payment providers, financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, regulators, or other authorized parties in connection with suspected fraud, unlawful activity, or legal investigations.

We will make disclosures only where appropriate or legally required.

10. Suspicious Activity

If we identify activity that may present a fraud, security, or compliance risk, we may take reasonable steps to protect our customers and platform.

These steps may include:

• Restricting account access.
• Holding or cancelling transactions.
• Removing prohibited listings or content.
• Requesting additional verification.
• Limiting certain account features.
• Investigating activity.
• Reporting activity where required or appropriate.

11. False Claims and Abuse

Customers must provide accurate information when reporting missing orders, damaged products, unauthorized transactions, refunds, returns, or other issues.

Submitting false or misleading claims may result in account restrictions, order cancellation, denial of a request, or other appropriate action.

12. Third-Party Services

Some fraud-prevention, identity verification, payment processing, shipping, or compliance functions may be performed by third-party service providers.

These providers may process information according to their own applicable terms and privacy policies.

Zurgle may use information received from such providers to help evaluate transactions and protect the platform.

13. Privacy and Personal Information

Fraud prevention and compliance activities may involve the processing of personal or transaction information.

We handle applicable personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.

Information may be retained where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or protect our legitimate business interests.

14. No Guarantee of Fraud Prevention

Although we take reasonable measures to identify and prevent fraudulent activity, no fraud-prevention system can guarantee that every fraudulent transaction or attempt will be detected or prevented.

Customers should remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activity involving their account or transactions.

15. Policy Enforcement

Violations of this policy may result in actions including account restrictions, order cancellation, removal of content, suspension of services, or termination of an account.

The response will depend on the circumstances and severity of the activity.

16. Policy Updates

We may update this Fraud & Compliance Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, security measures, legal requirements, or fraud-prevention procedures.

The latest version will be made available on this page.
