In order to get such in app-purchases, Users must follow the instructions given by the online store which can vary according to the device in use (i.e., either "Apple Store" or "Google Play").

Methods of payment Spreaker uses third-party tools for its payment processing and is not connected with any of the payment information provided – such as the credit card – in any way. Any declined payment costs shall be borne by the User. Right of withdrawal for European Consumers According to the applicable European consumer protection law, in the case of purchase of services the European Consumer has the right to terminate the Agreement, within 14 days from the date the Agreement is entered into, without giving any explanation. For the purpose of exercising the right of withdrawal, the Consumer is obliged to inform the Owner, without any formality, of the decision to withdraw by sending an unequivocal statement to the address set out in this document. For the purpose of this communication, the Consumer can use the withdrawal form available at the bottom of the Agreement. Any reimbursable amount will be returned by the Owner without undue delay, and in any event within 14 days of the notification of withdrawal by the Consumer, using the same means of payment used by the Consumer for the initial transaction, unless the Consumer has expressly otherwise agreed. Limitations to the right of withdrawal Notwithstanding the above, the Consumer acknowledges and accepts that the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of services after the full performance of the service by a professional if the performance initially began with the express consent of the User and their agreement to lose the right to withdraw. Therefore, if the European Consumer has made a purchase on Spreaker and the Service provided by the Owner is immediately provided so that Consumer has immediate access to the use of the relevant Service, the withdrawal right shall be no longer actionable. The User also acknowledges and agrees that the withdrawal shall not apply to the supply of digital content through a non-material medium once the execution of the agreement has begun with the express consent of the Consumer and their acknowledgement of the loss of the right to withdrawal. This means that whenever a European Consumer purchases digital items from within Spreaker, the withdrawal right shall be no longer actionable.  Refund and order correction The User can ask for a refund or order correction only if: <ul> <li>the User is charged for items that they did not purchase or</li> <li>they do not receive the items they did purchase or</li> <li>they are charged the incorrect amount.</li> </ul> Refund requests shall be processed provided that they are received within 24 hours from purchase. Refund requests received past 24 hours from purchase shall be evaluated at the Owner's sole discretion. EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED CASES, NO REFUND SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR ANY PURCHASE MADE.  Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of  liabilities   Disclaimer of Warranties (non-EU users)  THE OWNER PROVIDES THE SERVICES TO YOU STRICTLY ON AN "AS IS" BASIS.
