When a chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to Korean Journal Houston for the full amount of payment of the chargeback, plus any associated fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by our payment processor or the financial institutions handling the transaction). Accordingly, you hereby represent and warrant that you expressly appoint Korean Journal Houston as your agent, with full power to recover these amounts by debiting your account or setting off any amounts owed to you by us.
