i followed suggestion in comments "contact developer". responded have no control on matter. since money being charged on this, there should ubuntu contact resolve it. otherwise, should place warning: "no refund if purchase fails install".

unfortunately don't have control on issues in software centre, they've been packaged , licensed away. looks got confused issues 157 , 158, you'd need communicate them directly fix it/get refund.

edit: able paypal refund email address given in answer (pay-support@canonical.com). there 4 or 5 day delay until heard back, patient.

can refund software center purchase?

yes, probably. please send copy of receipt , reason requesting refund pay-support@canonical.com. please detailed; want know problems can fix them , provide higher-quality products , services.
