The people responding on this support forum are users like you and we only know what Apple says in its documentation and what our own and other users' experience tells us. Apple does not have much on its criteria for refusing refunds. Here are two sections from Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions - Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple


- "All Transactions are final."

I understand this as meaning Apple is starting from a point where any refund is considered an exception. They can simply say no without having to provide a reason. I understand this can be frustrating but by using the service you agree to the terms.


- "From time to time, Apple may suspend or cancel payment or refuse a refund request if we find evidence of fraud, abuse, or unlawful or other manipulative behavior that entitles Apple to a corresponding counterclaim." Make of this what you will.


You can see if the terms are different for where you live by clicking on this link Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple select your location and then your language.


If you feel you want to discuss a refund request, try to contact a live person using a telephone or chat request.

It does happen. I downloaded a yoga app and went to sign up for 7 day free trial, and then goes to a screen, do you want for this amount? I'm thinking, well yes, after free trial ends, (IF I like it), so I submit , double click, face ID (which you have to do FOR A FREE TRIAL!) and next thing you know, I'm charged $43! Then of course you CANNOT submit to Apple for a refund immediately, you have to wait until the receipt becomes available, which is 48 hours. So I did that as soon as I was able, was denied initial request, and then I appealed, which was also DENIED. Something about "based on my history" well then apps shouldn't be allowed to offer free trial. Because I admit, I do use the free trials, and occasionally, have forgotten to cancel or have not meant to purchase. The last time I requested a refund was January. It's not like it's once or twice a month. I refuse to use this app because I was not refunded. Sounds childish, But I'm so ****** that they won't refund me. They told me to contact the App directly, which I knew was useless and it was
