2. Google Play Business Policies
Returns: You have 15 minutes from the time of download to return any applications purchased from Google Play for a full refund of any applicable fees. You may only return a given application one time; if you subsequently purchase the same application again, you may not return it a second time. Where the option to return an application is available, it will be made available to you through the Google Play user interface. You may not return any Products other than applications.
Upgrades: Google Play does not provide upgrade functionality for any Products. If a Product offers free or paid upgrades, those upgrades must be obtained directly from the Developer responsible for the Product.
Reinstalls: You are allowed an unlimited number of reinstalls of each application obtained via Google Play.
Product Removals: From time to time, Google may discover a Product on Google Play that violates the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement or other legal agreements, laws, regulations or policies. In such an instance, Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your Device at its sole discretion. If that occurs Google will make reasonable efforts to recover the purchase price of the Product, if any, from the originating Developer on your behalf. If Google is unable to recover the full amount of the purchase price, it will divide any recovered amounts between the affected users on a pro rata basis.
Chargeback and Billing Disputes: Google is not responsible for billing disputes arising from purchases on Google Play. All billing issues should be directed to the Developer in question, the payment processor, or your credit card company as appropriate.
Customer Support: Support for the use and operation of Google Play (including how to find, purchase, download, return and remove Products) is provided by Google in the user interface of the Google Play application. Google does not provide customer support for Products distributed by Developers on Google Play. Each Developer is responsible for determining the level of customer support they provide and you should contact them directly.
