I don’t think chargebacks would have been a problem. As we saw they can just change the terms to whatever they want and that should be enough to win cases.
Plus I believe if a chargeback were to be raised properly it should take into consideration the promised time of delivery, not the usual 120 days after the day of payment.
But I suppose this relates to normal online/mail order etc purchases no?
I’m not sure what this $100 was supposed to guarantee at the beginning. Was it a standard pre-order or some sort of kickstarter deal as the revised terms seem to indicate?
If the latter I suspect the card scheme might reject the chargeback…

Yeah I guess the fact it’s a “preorder” probably does protect them…
