Refund Policy
Last updated: January 20, 2026
Last Updated: January 2025
We want you to be completely satisfied with your VoiceAbroad purchases. This Refund Policy explains how refunds work for language pack purchases.
How Purchases Work
Language packs in VoiceAbroad are sold as in-app purchases through Google Play. When you purchase a language pack, you receive:
- Offline speech recognition for that language
- Translation capabilities to and from all your other installed languages
- A curated phrasebook with essential travel phrases
Once downloaded, language packs work entirely offline.
Refund Eligibility
Automatic Refund Window
Google Play provides an automatic refund window for in-app purchases. If you request a refund within 48 hours of purchase, you can typically receive an automatic refund through Google Play.
To request an automatic refund:
- Open the Google Play Store app
- Tap your profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Budget & history
- Find the VoiceAbroad purchase
- Tap "Refund" and follow the prompts
Refunds After 48 Hours
If more than 48 hours have passed since your purchase, refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. We will consider refunds in the following circumstances:
Technical Issues
- The language pack fails to download after multiple attempts
- The language pack does not function as described
- A bug prevents you from using the purchased features
Accidental Purchases
- Unintended purchases (e.g., by a child)
- Duplicate purchases of the same language pack
Not Eligible for Refund
- Change of mind after successfully using the language pack
- Dissatisfaction with translation quality (machine translation has inherent limitations)
- Purchasing a language you already own through a previous device
- Device changes that require re-downloading (your purchases are tied to your Google account and can be restored)
How to Request a Refund
Within 48 Hours
Use Google Play's automatic refund system as described above.

We aim to respond to all refund requests within 3 business days.
Refund Process
If Approved
- Refunds are processed through Google Play
- The refund will be credited to your original payment method
- Processing time is typically 3-5 business days, but may take up to 10 business days depending on your payment provider
- The language pack will be removed from your account
If Denied
We will explain the reason for the denial. You may appeal by providing additional information.
Restoring Purchases
If you've changed devices or reinstalled VoiceAbroad, you don't need to purchase language packs again. Your purchases are linked to your Google account.
To restore purchases:
- Ensure you're signed in to the same Google account used for the original purchase
- Open VoiceAbroad
- Go to Languages
- Previously purchased packs should show as available for download (not purchase)
If your purchases aren't appearing, please contact us for assistance.
Free Language Packs
VoiceAbroad includes English and French as bundled languages at no cost. These are not eligible for refunds as no payment was made.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Changes will be effective upon posting to our website. Your continued use of VoiceAbroad after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
