Good news for everyone, Android Market will soon be offering more payment options for that app you want. How soon you ask? Well, the ETA for the update is still unknown, but in preparation Android is sending out an updated developer agreement.
In the spirit of transparency, we wanted to highlight the changes:
- In Section 13.1, “authorized carriers†have been added as an indemnified party.
- Section 13.2 is new in its entirety, covering indemnity for payment processors for claims related to tax accrual.
These new terms apply immediately to anyone joining Android Market as a new publisher. Existing publishers have been notified of this change via email; they have up to 30 days to sign into the Android Market developer console to accept the new terms.
What options would you like to see? More carriers offering direct billing, or perhaps Paypal?
