User’s violation of any of these requirements may result in civil or criminal prosecution. Any fraudulent usage of User’s own credit card, against VEA, authorizes VEA’s contact with User’s credit card companies in order to ascertain information related to such fraud. User agrees that if he or she uses fraudulent means to receive more than one refund or if causes a fraudulent dispute claim that results in a chargeback against the VEA’s account, that the Vermont Employment Agency is authorized to re-charge the User’s credit card that was used for the original purchase to the extent that will make the VEA whole.
