In addition to Section 4 (Prohibitions) of the API ToS, the following terms
apply:
Publishing API: You will only use the Publishing API for your own activities
related to your distribution of products under the Google Play Developer
Distribution Agreement. You will not utilize a third party's Developer Account
to access the Publishing API, use the Publishing API to publish apps on behalf
of a third party through a developer tool or service, or share your own
Developer Account to allow a third party to access the Publishing API on your
behalf. A violation of this provision may result in suspension, termination of
access to the Publishing API, your Developer Account, and/or suspension or
termination of third-party apps created, uploaded, published, distributed or
updated in violation of this provision.
voidedPurchases API: You will only use the voidedPurchases API and any data
obtained to revoke access to voided purchases (refunded by Google or charged
back by the issuer) and to mitigate fraud. The data shared via the
voidedPurchases API is considered Google confidential information under the API
TOS and may not be disclosed except as expressly permitted. In addition, any
user data obtained through the voidedPurchases API is governed by the
Google Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms.
A violation of this provision may result in suspension or termination of
access to the voidedPurchases API or your Developer Account.
