Important:
- To check if a purchase is eligible for a refund, learn about Google Play refund policies.

Google may give refunds for some Google Play purchases, depending on our refund policies. You can also contact the developer directly.
- If you find a Google Play purchase on your card or other payment method that you didn't make and that wasn't made by anyone you know, report unauthorized charges within 120 days of the transaction.
- Multiple requests for the same transaction won’t expedite the refund process. Please allow 1–4 days for a refund decision.
