Barcia serves as Seller’s limited authorized payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting payments (via its Payment Services Provider, if applicable) from Buyer, and remitting those payments to Seller. Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller will be satisfied upon receipt of payment by Barcia(or its Payment Services Provider, as applicable), and Barcia (via its Payment Service Provider, as applicable) is responsible for remitting the funds to the Seller in the manner described in these Payment Terms.

In most locations, purchases on Barcia can be made by using one of the following payment methods: Credit Card, PayPal, Ecocash, Barcia Credits or existing Barcia Balance. Additional payment methods may apply in certain locations.
Service fees are added at the time of purchase where you can review and accept the total amount requested to pay. These fees cover administrative fees.

Local Currencies
You can pay on Barcia in several different currencies. For your convenience, prices will be rounded up to the closest number. At checkout, you will see the accurate amount to be paid. Unless stated otherwise, you will be charged in the currency displayed on the payment page. All currency exchange services in connection with payments in local currencies are performed by Barcia’s
Payment Services Providers. In certain cases, however, when certain currencies are not supported by certain payment methods, you will be charged in US$ even if the price is displayed in another currency. In any event, the actual charged amount (in the actual payment currency) will be clearly disclosed to you before you complete the payment.
Note that all prices on Barcia are derived always from their original US$ price and, therefore, non-US$ currency prices may change daily in accordance with exchange rate fluctuations and may also include conversion fees. Buyers always have the option to pay in US$ by changing their currency.
If you paid for an Order in a currency other than US$ and your Order was later canceled for any reason, the amount returned to your Barcia Balance would be based on the exchange rate as of the date of cancellation. Therefore, the returned amount may vary from the paid amount in local currency terms, while always maintaining the same US$ value.
Your Barcia Balance is always valued in US$, even if it is displayed in a non-US$ currency. Therefore, should you choose to view your Barcia Balance in any currency other than US$, it may change daily in accordance with exchange rate fluctuations, while always maintaining the same US$ value. Users always have the option to view their Barcia Balance in US$ by changing their selected displayed currency.
Barcia Credits
In certain instances, Barcia may offer you credits (“Barcia Credits” or “Credits”), either for promotional purposes or otherwise, to be used for purchasing services and/or other services offered on the Site. Your available Credit balance will appear in your account. Your valid Barcia Credits will be automatically applied to your next purchase and can be viewed in your order summary after you place the order. Unless stated otherwise, Barcia Credits expire following three months from their receipt. Barcia Credits serve only as an incentive to use Barcia, and, therefore, are not redeemable for cash, have no cash value and are nonrefundable. Once used, Barcia Credits may not be returned to your account even if your Order gets canceled. Fiverr Credits may be subject to additional conditions and restrictions as will be disclosed to you upon receipt of the Credits.

Filing a transaction dispute or reversing a payment through your payment provider or your bank is a violation of these Payment Terms. Doing so may get your account temporarily or permanently disabled.

Order Cancellations
Barcia encourages Buyers and Sellers to resolve service disputes mutually using the Resolution Center.
Eligibility for requests to Barcia to cancel an order will be assessed by Barcia based on a number of factors, including violations of our Terms of Service and/or our Community Standards, general misconduct, and improper usage of the Barcia delivery system. See below for Order specific eligibility.
Completed orders (or, where applicable, completed milestones) may be canceled, upon review of our Customer Support team, up to 14 days after the order (or Milestone) is marked as complete. Please be advised that orders cannot be partially canceled (i.e. we can only cancel the entire order when it is justified).
In rare circumstances where we find it appropriate, our Customer Support team may cancel a completed order even after 14 days have passed from its completion. In such cases, the amounts paid for the canceled order will be returned to the Buyer’s Barcia Balance and will be deducted from the Seller’s Barcia Balance or, if there are no sufficient amounts in the Seller’s Barcia Balance, from future revenues of such Seller.
For orders made through the Barcia Logo Maker, once payment has been made, orders of Logo Designs may not be canceled.
Orders are not eligible to be canceled based on the quality of service/materials delivered by the Seller if the service was rendered as described in the service Page. You may rate your experience with the Seller on the Order Page, including the overall level of service quality received.
You must use Barcia Resolution Center to address your concerns and desired resolution related to the service provided by their Seller prior to contacting Customer Support. Customer Support will not take any action against Orders where the applicable has failed to inform their Seller of issues related to the Seller’s service and will allow Sellers to provide a resolution first. This does not include non-permitted usage of Barcia.
Any non-permitted usage of Barcia encountered during an Order, after being reviewed by our Customer Support team, may result in the order being canceled. This includes, but not limited to; harassment, unlawful behavior, or other violations of Barcia’s Terms of Service.
Barcia will cancel orders based on, but not limited to, the following reasons:
Active orders (after requirements were submitted to the Seller and before the Seller delivers on Barcia):
1. The Seller is late and unresponsive for more than 24 hours while the order is marked as Late.

3. Users supplied or included copyright/trademark infringing materials as part of their requirements or the Seller’s delivery.
4. The user is no longer an active Barcia user due to Terms of Service violations or closure of their account.

2. The Seller delivers no files and/or proof of work related to the agreed upon order requirements. Note: Subjectivity of the materials in question will be reviewed by our Customer Support team.
3. The Seller requests additional payments, on or off the Barcia platform, by withholding the final delivery of services directly related to the agreed requirements.

3. Barcia Customer Support will review cases of Order delivery manipulation that prevents users from fully utilizing our Resolution Center that enabled the order to be marked as complete.
Chargebacks
Barcia reviews cases of payment provider chargebacks and disputes on behalf of Sellers. Although results vary per case due to each chargeback reason, we work hard on resolving disputes in the Seller’s favor. If the chargeback case allows, Barcia (or one of Barcia’s Payment Services Providers) will return parts or full revenue back to Sellers, otherwise the chargeback amount will be borne by the Seller.
Refunds
Barcia does not automatically refund payments made for canceled orders back to your payment provider. Funds from order cancellations are returned to the Buyer's Barcia Balance and are available for future purchases on Barcia.
Refunds from Buyer’s Barcia Balance (i.e. refunds directly to your payment provider) can be requested from the billing page. The refund will be based on your payment method(s), amount and currency. To prevent fraud and abuse, we limit the total amount of times users can request a payment provider refund, which is subject to review by our Customer Support team. Such refunds may be subject to an additional fee.
Sellers may offer a partial refund with respect to a specific order to the Buyer. Upon acceptance by the Buyer of such partial refund, the amount will be automatically refunded to the Buyer‘s payment method. In the event that Barcia will not be able to refund the agreed amount to Buyer’s payment method, such amount will be added to Buyer’s Barcia Balance.
