Steps to take if you believe you were scammed on SWAPD

If You Encounter Issues After a Transaction

Although rare, issues may still arise even with SWAPD’s strict monitoring and compliance procedures. As Merchant of Record, SWAPD (VEYYO Limited Partnership, Canada) provides a structured process for addressing concerns:


Step 1: Attempt Direct Resolution

Engage with the subcontractor through the active Checkout Ticket. Many misunderstandings can be resolved by clarifying terms or expectations directly.


Step 2: Review the Checkout Ticket Terms

Confirm that your concern relates to a clear breach of the agreed terms. This helps ensure that your case rests on contractual obligations, not external advice or informal expectations.


Step 3: Notify SWAPD Administrators

If the issue remains unresolved, escalate it by tagging @Administrators within the ticket and include the ticket number. SWAPD staff will review the matter and may request final statements from both parties before making a decision.


Step 4: Utilize the Dispute Mechanism

A formal dispute may be initiated within 90 days of ticket closure. SWAPD will investigate the ticket record, apply platform rules, and issue a binding decision. Disputes raised after the 90-day limit will not be reviewed.


Compliance and Enforcement

  • Chargebacks Prohibited – All payments are legally made to SWAPD (VEYYO LP) as Merchant of Record. Attempting to reverse payments through banks, card issuers, or processors without SWAPD’s prior authorization constitutes a breach of contract and will result in account termination, forfeiture of funds, and potential recovery actions.

  • Final Authority – SWAPD decisions are binding and not subject to appeal. Buyers and subcontractors expressly agree to accept SWAPD’s dispute resolutions when using the platform.

  • Subcontractor Penalties – If a subcontractor is found to have breached ticket terms or engaged in misconduct during a dispute, SWAPD may:

    • Withhold or claw back payouts.
    • Apply financial penalties or offsets against future transactions.
    • Designate the subcontractor under Safety Concern status, restricting access to payment methods and increasing fees.
    • Terminate membership permanently in cases of fraud, account recovery attempts, or malicious conduct.
