Review Updated Developer Distribution Agreement







Hello Google Play Developer,


We're continually striving to make Google Play a positive experience for  
both our developers and our users.

In order to do this, we've introduced changes to the Developer Distribution  
Agreement ("DDA") to make clear that it covers the existing and new  
services provided to developers through Google Play.

Additionally, we have introduced changes that allow us to subtract the  
developer share of refunds from developer payouts. This includes those  
refunds issued more than 48 hours after the purchase. This supports our  
continued emphasis on providing a high quality Play experience for both  
users and developers, matches customary practices in retail, and aligns our  
policies with the majority of app and game stores in the industry.

This email is to notify you that these DDA changes will be effective  
starting May 17, 2017. No action is required on your part. You can view the  
updated DDA here.

The Google Play user refund policy, which includes information about when  
we might provide refunds to users, is not affected by this change.

To help you maintain a fair ecosystem in your app or game, we recently  
launched the Voided Purchases API. You can use the API to identify voided  
purchases and use this information to implement your own clawback strategy  
for in-app items.
