Any user found to be running a scam or part of a scam will be immediately terminated, blocked, and banned from the platform. All funds in both the user’s NE6 Wallets will be forfeited. The NE6 Wallets are divided into NE6 Directory Wallet for transactions on New England Connect and NE6 Vendor Marketplace Wallet for transactions on New England Connect Marketplace.
New England Connect LLC reserves the right to charge the scammer for any incurred losses, including hardship. Any user found to be part of a scam will be responsible for all legal fees related to any legal action taken by New England Connect LLC or any users scammed by the scammer on our platform. Refer to our Scam Invoice Policy for more details on the consequences and processes related to scams.
Chargebacks and Refunds
- Chargebacks: New England Connect LLC reserves the right to perform automatic chargebacks and refunds to users who have been scammed. This applies to all transactions processed through PayPal and Stripe. Given these charges are processed through New England Connect LLC’s merchant and payment processors, if funds are not recovered from the terminated user’s NE6 Wallets, New England Connect LLC will issue an invoice for the owed funds and bill the terminated user.
- Invoice Payment: The terminated user is obligated to pay the invoice immediately upon issue. As an undeserved courtesy, New England Connect LLC will allow a grace period of no more than 60 days from the date of invoice issuance to make full payment. Users can choose to set up a payment plan with New England Connect LLC if they cannot pay the invoice in full immediately.
- Interest and Fees: Interest at a daily compounded rate of 0.2630136986301% will accrue monthly at 8% (or the maximum rate allowed by law) if the invoice isaccrued and paid within 60 days. On the 61st day, all accrued interest and a $50 late fee will be added to the principal balance. The late fee will continue monthly until the invoice is paid. If a good faith effort is made to pay a minimum of 5% monthly on the total principal, no $50 late fee will be charged, but interest will continue to accrue. If an invoice remains unpaid after 365 calendar days, New England Connect LLC reserves the right to sell the debt to a collection agency.
Tax Compliance
Any user with $600 or more worth of sales in a calendar year is required to fill out a 1099-K form.
