Refunds are not guaranteed. Apple’s position appears to be that people need to be proactive about purchases, canceling subscriptions at least 24 hours before trials end, and ensuring that others are not able to make unsanctioned purchases on a user’s account. Note that if you allow—intentionally or not—another person access to purchasing on a device, or through Family Sharing if you are the Organizer, you are taking responsibility for things they do. Apple offers these features to help you avoid this situation:
