See this comment elsewhere on the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23992485 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23992485 If you charge $10, you get paid $7, and if the customer refunds, Apple removes $10 from your account – you'll be $3 worse off than if the customer never purchased anything.

EDIT: LOL the guy retracted it and noted that he was mistaken. Every clown who repeated this and argued the unfairness of it, like rattray here -- delete your accounts. >If you charge $10, you get paid $7, and if the customer refunds, Apple removes $10 from your account BUT APPLE DOESN'T DO THIS There are literally dozens of developers with monetized apps saying that Apple does not and has not done this in this thread and replies to the tweet. There is one guy misrepresenting some facts. The overwhelming truth according to the pitchfork mob of HN is the lie. Amazing. The gullibility of this crowd is simply incredible. Do you not think this would be bigger news than "hey look, some guy says something billions of dollars into app store sales". cc @ dang -- rattray is intentionally spreading hilariously dumb misinformation to make HN look like a bunch of stupid assholes. Hilariously this is auto-dead. Of course it is. Yet another of so many times HN has been so catastrophically off the mark. This place is a den of absolute idiots, time and time again. And when it is realized it goes to auto-dead time. Absolutely fucking embarrassing for anyone who is proud of their association with this shithole of stupidity.

Actually, elsewhere on the thread, a few other folks note that this behavior did not occur for them, even though the terms allow it. Unclear whether it happened in this case.

  I'm the guy that posted that excerpt from the agreement. I was actually shocked that no one else had, as there are millions of copies of it out there. But I do appreciate the anecdotal stories from folks that actually processed refunds. Apple is entitled to yank the extra 30%, but it seems that they don't do it. That's not uncommon. Lawyers will often add stuff to contracts that they don't intend to enforce, to give them leverage and cover, in unique situations. I have never had to process a refund, so I don't know.
