Following such review we may withhold or refrain from collecting (or procuring the collection of) the Price using the Specified Payment Method or cancel any contract for the supply of Products between you and us. Any such review or cancellation is not a representation by us as to your character or reputation.

13.14 In the event that the provider of your Specified Payment Method acting on your behalf seeks the return of any amounts paid to us or disputes our authorisation to collect (or procure the collection of) any amounts due to us (a “Chargeback“) you agree to on our request subrogate or otherwise assign to us your rights against any third parties related to such Chargeback, and agree that we may pursue those rights directly or on your behalf as we may in our sole discretion determine.
