Apple Thoughts: App Store Refund Policy Sounds Pretty Bad

"Apple must have the sweetest distribution deal in the entire retail universe, if a report published Wednesday at TechCrunch is to be believed. The AppStore refund policy allows purchasers a full refund up to 90 days from the date of download of any application purchased in the iTunes AppStore."

Wow. I don't know if Apple's ever employed this refund policy against a developer, but the idea that they get to keep their commission while making you return the money for the app... Just wow...

Although I do have to wonder... If they have this return policy, why was there all that uproar over the I Am Rich app? If a return policy was in place, it should've been trivial to do the return.

It'll be very interesting to see how this plays out and if Tech Crunch is right about this.
