Refund conundrum.

[Ashish Sharma India]

I clicked on adobe free trail membership which was for 7 days. Than google tookover when it came to payment processing.

The money got debited from account immediately, so I thought they will refund it once the trail period get over. 

Now I want my full refund but adobe is saying they can not give because the purchase was through google play. 

Google play support is saying that they can't provide a refund for this purchase because it doesn't meet their policy.

As a customer do I need to read 2000 words terms and conditions to understand that even free trails are non refundable? What is this sorcery adobe? Please clarify how to rectify the situation. I am frustrated.

Link solution not working. 

Unable to get refund my subscription from link given by you, it is saying "We can't provide a refund for this purchase because it doesn't meet Google Play's refund policies"

Saw the tutorial, not working for me. Tried cancelling from google play. I want my refund. Otherwise this board post is going on my technical reddit page, youtube page and twitter account. I don't want politeness from you, I want my money back.

Did not expect this from such big organisations. Still cancelation link not working. Dissapointed.
