Just read it at http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mobile/android/market-policies.html and compared it to http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html
Concerning points; - The 24 hour returns period is still there, but it says "from the time of purchase (not download)", the developer distribution agreement says in 3.4; "You authorize Google to give the buyer a full refund of the Product price if the buyer requests the refund within 48 hours after purchase.", so is it 24 or 48 hours? - " Android Market does not provide upgrade functionality for any Products", I thought Market handled the upgrade process? - If Google use the kill switch to remove an application they'll "make reasonable efforts to recover the purchase price of the Product", so if Google decide to pull your app they may come to developers for the costs of refunding users, even if it is for a reason that's no applicable in your territory (e.g. the agreement allows them to pull an app which violates a US patent even if you're UK based and only target non-US markets, or even if you break a law in violate any "legal agreements, laws, regulations or policies"). - "Google is not responsible for billing disputes arising from purchases on Android Market." compared to the dev distribution agreement which says "Products sold for less than $10 may be automatically charged back to the Developer"... so what is it, do Google do auto chargebacks or is it all down to the developer? This looks like a real train wreck of two different documents referring to the same system saying very different things!!!
