No, Google Didn’t Extend The Android Market Return Policy to 48 Hours
Nov 19th
Today, a new developer distribution agreement was sent out by Google and caused quite the stir within the rumor mill. There is a certain part of the new agreement that talks about the Android Market’s return policy that when read, can definitely be misleading. Here, I will let you read the excerpt in question so you know what I am talking about.
Products that cannot be previewed by the buyer (such as applications): You authorize Google to give the buyer a full refund of the Product price if the buyer requests the refund within 48 hours after purchase.
After reading that doesn’t it seem like Google is extending their 15 minute return policy to 48 hours? While I can admit that 15 minutes is hardly enough time to fully test out a purchase, at the same time I think 48 hours is a bit excessive. I mean you can totally beat many of the games out there within half that amount of time. Anyways, after initial speculations went a flying, someone actually thought to dig a little deeper to try and figure out what this actually means.
It seems that the way that Google worded the statement was in reference to how long developers have to return funds to unhappy customers. They have 2 days to return your money if you ask for a refund within the 15 minute trial period. Nothing at this point has changed for end users, rather just a more strict refund policy for app developers. Sorry guys, I wish we could get an extension too. Another 15 minutes wouldn’t even hurt.
