*AVS-Address Verification Service: AVS is now a requirement. Otherwise, penalty fees can be assessed for each transaction not utilizing AVS. Furthermore, failure to implement AVS in the case of fraudulent purchases can result in chargebacks.
**Chargebacks: Normal Refunds and Credits ARE NOT CHARGEBACKS. Chargebacks can occur with fraudulent purchases if required security measures, such as AVS, have not been implemented, or with disputed purchases not directly resolved by the merchant but by the Card Processor.
