ACCC

Those terms relate to the Google Play service fees that Google may charge developers and to the display and use of alternative payment options to Google Play Billing.
The ACCC proposes to grant authorisation until 30 September 2032.
The ACCC is now seeking submissions in response to the draft determination by Friday 7 August 2026, before making its final decision.
