# RefundNotAllowedCreationDateError

An error indicating the refund isn’t allowed for the line item because its creation date is too far in the past.

```
object RefundNotAllowedCreationDateError
```

## Discussion

You can refund a line item for up to one year after its [`creationDate`](/documentation/ExternalPurchaseServerAPI/creationDate). This error indicates that for the line item you’re attempting to refund, the [`creationDate`](/documentation/ExternalPurchaseServerAPI/creationDate) is more than one year ago.
