Following the announcement of Apple’s updated return policy in the EU, as we reported there was speculation that it was potentially open to abuse, possibly allowing users to claim refunds on purchased apps with the app being removed.
However Apple have clarified their stance on their returns policy and have stated that they won’t let the system be abused.
If Apple detect too many refunds within a short period of time it will then block an account from claiming refunds without going through extra clarification steps.
This clarification seems to show the best of both worlds as it allows a relaxed returns policy whilst protecting developers hard work against theft.
