I apologize if this is entirely the wrong forum to ask this, but seeing as there is no "Google Play" specific forum I thought this one would be appropriate. I'm wondering if it's against the Google Play policies to offer a trial period for a service that users normally pay a subscription fee for (using In-app billing). I would like to offer, say a 1-month free trial period whereafter the user will have to subscribe to continue using the service.
While I do not know the answer to the original question, it certainly
seems like a reasonable question to ask in this forum. I would not be
so bold as to claim that no one here can or would answer it. Speak
only for yourself.

This forum is for developing apps using the Android SDK. The OP is
basically asking for legal advice regarding the Google Play policies. This
is not the right place for this question.

I am, or, um, was. I've seen this type of question come and go across this
forum (and even the actual Android Market forum when it existed). The fact
is that fellow developers are not qualified to answer these policy
questions. And the fact is that people that would know the answer (like
people at Google) will not chime in, probably for legal reasons.
