I'm curious if, during due diligence, jdh and the other investors were given access to Justfab's chargeback rate on the subscription fees, and whether/how many merchant accounts maintained by the company have been shutdown. Having just looked at the site, I would definitely be misled by this, but that doesn't necessarily mean their core customers are.

Math doesn't lie: if chargeback rates are higher than e-commerce norms, then this continuity program is misleading. If they are not, then the program isn't misleading. I cannot possibly see how chargeback rates wouldn't be astronomically higher than the e-commerce average, but maybe I'm just not their target customer.

I would love to see a response to this comment with their chargeback rates for the subscription charges but I doubt I will get it.



Just as important as the charge-back rate is the backlog of unused entitlements. Oh, and the median entitlement to age of account ratio.
