Returns and refunds on Google Play

Refunds may be available for purchases on Google Play:
If something was bought on your account or with your payment method that you didn’t permit, we can usually help.
If the purchase you made wasn’t delivered, doesn’t work, or isn’t what you expected, we can usually help.
If you bought something by accident, or bought something then changed your mind, we may be able to help depending on the specific situation.
If you give your account or payment details to someone else, appear to be abusing our policies, or don’t protect your account with authentication, we usually can’t issue a refund.
It’s important that you make a refund request as soon as possible after you find an issue. Select a link below for more information and to find out how to make a request.
