Updated Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement enforces quicker response times

Google-Play-Developer-Console


Google has quietly updated its official Google Play Distribution Agreement to introduce some new clauses that are targeted at developers to take more responsibility for their products, which should, in turn, make things a wee bit easier on us, the consumer.



The first of these new clauses states that developers who offer paid applications or in-app purchases will have a maximum of three business days to respond to customer support inquiries, or just 24 hours if a customer’s issue is deemed urgent by Google.


Next we’re looking at amendments to some of the company’s marketing language, which now prevents developers from embedding links directed to people, applications or games that aren’t supplied through the Play Store.


Lastly, Google has made some changes to the wording surrounding its VAT and tax policy. Starting today, the firm will handle all VAT charges for applications and services purchased via the Play Store.


If you’re a developer we’d love to hear what you think of the new Distribution Agreement clauses, so be sure to drop us a comment in the section below.
