How to get a refund on unwanted applications?

Hey all-

 

I purchases a few applications but after playing around with them, they just aren't what i'm looking for (they were personal finance apps).. I would like to get a refund on the app (its already deleted from the handheld) but when I email the vendor they say since I bought it from App World that I need to go through RIM.. Can anyone help lead me in the right direction on where to go? Thanks!

Re: How to get a refund on unwanted applications?

Please read the FAQs for the App World (located here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/appworld/faq.jsp).

 

From the Support section in the FAQs (section 9), you can get refunds only in very specific situations:

 

Can customers request a refund after they purchase an application?
BlackBerry App World generally does not offer refunds to consumers. However, for those jurisdictions where the RIM merchant of record is obliged to provide a refund, the refund may be processed by RIM.

This is just ONE MORE reason I cannot wait for my contract to be up so I can DUMP this stupid blackberry and it's software!   You have no idea how an app will work on your phone until it's downloaded - then you are STUCK.  

Ispeech and drivesafely are rip-offs!

Absolutely correct! Android has a policy of "purchase cancellation" 15 after the purchase, that would be fair enough in the AppWorld too.

Hi.  Ignoring the official AppWorld policy, I contacted Blackberry Technical Support directly on two occasions - after purchasing bad apps and no replies from vendor support.  In both cases they issued a prompt refund in full.
