My team and I worked on the app for about 5 days and communicated with the seller when we realized the app did not work as described.
We initiated a refund on January 30,2016. The seller refused the 14-day money back guarantee advertised.
After notifying PayPal and Capital One, both parties suggested we talk to seller and we did. (Please see Evidence 1-4). PayPal opened a claim, Capital One held my money from the seller, and sent a formal letter indicating the seller has to respond within a matter time, if not the case would close and the refund would withstand. However, on March 24,2016, I realized that Pay Pal closed the disputed case and sided with the seller without talking to me. I called PayPal 3 times and abruptly the phone disconnected as I held each time for a representative.
I adhered to the Chupamobile LTD refund policy, (Please see Evidence 1-4). I reacted professionally and reasonably. If Chupamobile LTD does not want to adhere to their refund policy of 14-day money back guarantee it should be removed from their site.

Your author was dishonest about the product and failed to disclose that the Parse Credentials used in the app would no longer work as of January 17,2017 because Facebook (the owner of the program is closing the business.) Chupamobile acted dishonest by not disclosing the actual location of the refund policy to the consumer. This violated the Unfair and Dishonest Act Law protecting consumers from dishonest merchants.
After reading 2 versions of the refund policies, I adhered to the Chupamobile LTD disclosed refund policy. I reacted professionally and reasonably.
How Chupamobile showed evidence of consumer unfairness and dishonesty.
1. Chupamobile had three different refund policies.
2. Chupamobile had three different locations of the refund policy. All three of the locations of the refund policies were not disclosed to the consumer.
3. The product did not load properly on the mobile devices used.
4. Chupamobile and the author did not disclose that the Parse Credential program included in the product would no longer be available starting January 2017. (See proof here: http://techcrunch.com/2016/01/28/facebook-shutters-its-parse-developer-platform/)
I would like a full refund of $363.80 from Chupamobile LTD.
Hi Kimberly, since we are a digital products marketplace, we act to intermediate between authors and buyers and to protect both interests. For this reason our Terms & Conditions for refund requests are clearly described on our site. According to the 14th money back steps - we proceed every time the digital product doesn't work as described (in this case the product is perfectly working) and it is not possible to proceed when a customer realized the product doesn't correspond to his needs after purchasing it. Furthermore, your claims have been deeply evaluated on Paypal – the biggest payment platform worldwide, managing milions of transactions and acting as third party on hundreds of claims daily - and they resolved the case in our favour 2 times. We are really sorry for your frustration, but there is nothing we can do to help you. Regards
