| Do however be warned that filing a chargeback might make you ineligible for any number of Google's pantheon of services for you or your family for the foreseeable future. Upset the beast at your own risk. When you suddenly discover you can never again distribute an app to an Android device because you once hooked up your AI subscription to a toy AI assistant. |
