I still want to know what EU laws they are complying with? I don't see anything about developer addresses in the letter the EU sent to them.
Also if you read the new agreement, section 3.7 shows the refund period as 48 hours instead of the NEW refund period of 2 hours. It apparently was left at 48 hours even when it was only 15 minutes (from reviewing the archive). Kinda sloppy. Are the Google attorneys fresh out of law school too?
