Some companies like Activision clearly state in their terms that chargeback means you will be permanently banned, no exceptions. You'll lose your account and access to all digital "purchases" forever.

They don't need to prove anything to stop doing business with you.

In the US.

And that's only because when Activision makes a digital "sale" they have no legal obligation to follow through and give you what they promised.

I live in the EU and have read this in the terms for my region.

> they have no legal obligation to follow through and give you what they promised

Yes, they do. Contracts are contracts. They just don't promise you ownership of anything but a revocable license. Like every platform offering DRM protected content.

This is why the seven seas are so important for preserving our purchases, companies be damned.
