Priority Access may provide an opportunity to be placed on an access or interest list, subject to availability, development progress, pricing announcements, eligibility, and formal agreements where applicable.
11. Refunds, Cancellations, and Chargebacks
If a customer receives a refund, cancels a purchase, files a payment dispute, initiates a chargeback, or if a transaction is determined to be invalid, any related commission may be cancelled, deducted, reversed, or withheld.
Recess Villas may review transactions before approving commission payments.
12. Taxes and Legal Responsibility
