Where a Seller does not agree to updated fees or policies, Bevel may suspend or terminate access to the platform in accordance with these Terms and policies.
Payouts may be delayed or withheld where necessary for: · fraud prevention · dispute investigation · compliance checks · reserve requirements · legal obligations
Refunds, chargebacks, fees, or payment provider deductions may be deducted from Seller balances.
