The people responding on this support forum are users like you, so unfortunately all we can do is guide you the information Apple does provide. Apple, however, 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. Apple may provide a refund but can also 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." Remember that Apple has no way of removing a purchase from your device. They have to trust you are being honest when asking for a refund. It may be certain refund requests might be considered suspicious.
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.

Note that if you give another person access to purchasing on a device you are taking responsibility for things they do while using it. Apple offers these proactive services:
