The jurisdiction that will come to most minds is the EU, but it has exemptions for digitally downloaded content and unsealed software.

Apple explicitly does not claim that exemption, the 14 day no-questions-asked refund period is called out in their terms and conditions.

> Right of cancellation: If you choose to cancel your order, you may do so within 14 days of when you received your receipt, without giving any reason

Apple will start applying that exemption if you abuse their refund process. One or two refunds in a short period is usually enough to trigger it, and it disappears again after some “good behaviour”.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, you're completely right. If your account is flagged, they will show an additional popup like this: https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/01/b7lgr...

It seems pretty random when it's applied though. Some got it after just one refund, meanwhile I've had multiple refunds, and I got that popup once for a $1 purchase but then never again and I was able to request a refund again.
