Any Application developed using this Apple Software must meet all of the following criteria and requirements, as they may be modified by Apple from time to time:

APIs and Functionality:

 

3.3.1 Applications may only use Published APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any unpublished or private APIs.

3.3.2 An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise. No interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s).

3.3.3 Without Apple’s prior written approval, an Application may not provide, unlock or enable additional features or functionality through distribution mechanisms other than the App Store.

3.3.4 An Application may write data on a device only to the Application's designated container area, except as otherwise specified by Apple.

User Interface and Data:

3.3.5 Applications must comply with the Human Interface Guidelines and other Documentation provided by Apple.

3.3.6 Any form of user or device data collection, or image, picture or voice capture or recording performed by the Application (collectively “Recordings”), and any form of user data, content or information uploading, syncing, or transmission performed by the Application (collectively "Transmissions") must comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations as well as any Apple program requirements related to such aspects, including but not limited to any notice or consent requirements. In particular, a reasonably conspicuous visual indicator must be displayed to the user as part of the Application to indicate that a Recording is taking place.

Location Services:

3.3.7 For Applications that use location-based APIs:

-  You and the Application must comply with all applicable privacy and data collection laws and regulations with respect to any collection, transmission, maintenance, processing, use, etc. of the user's location data by the Application.

-  Applications may not be designed or marketed for the purpose of harassing, abusing, stalking, threatening or otherwise violating the legal rights (such as the rights of privacy and publicity) of others.

-  Applications may not be designed or marketed for real time route guidance; automatic or autonomous control of vehicles, aircraft, or other mechanical devices; dispatch or fleet management; or emergency or life-saving purposes.

-  Applications may not use any robot, spider, site search or other retrieval application or device to scrape, retrieve or index services provided by Apple or its licensors, or to collect information about users for any unauthorized purpose.

3.3.8 Applications that offer location-based services or functionality must notify and obtain consent from an individual when his or her location data is being collected, transmitted or otherwise used by the Application.

3.3.9 Applications must not disable, override or otherwise interfere with any Apple-implemented system alerts, warnings, display panels, consent panels and the like intended to notify the user that the user's location data is being collected, transmitted, maintained, processed or used, or intended to obtain consent for such use. If consent is withheld, Applications may not collect, transmit, maintain, process or utilize the user's location data.

Content and Materials:

3.3.10 Any master recordings and musical compositions embodied in Your Application must be wholly-owned by You or licensed to You on a fully paid-up basis and in a manner that will not require the payment of any fees, royalties and/or sums by Apple to You or any third party.

Apple may change the Program Requirements or the terms of this Agreement at any time. New or modified Program Requirements will not retroactively apply to Applications already in distribution. In order to continue using the Apple Software, You must accept and agree to the new Program Requirements and/or new terms of this Agreement. If You do not agree to new Program Requirements or new terms, Your use of the Apple Software will be suspended or terminated by Apple.  You agree that Your acceptance of such new Agreement terms or Program Requirements may be signified electronically, including without limitation, by Your checking a box or clicking on an “agree” or similar button. Nothing in this Section shall affect Apple's rights under Section 8 below.

5. Digital Signing of Applications; Restrictions on Certificates 

All Applications must be signed with an Apple-issued certificate in order to be installed on Registered Devices.  During the Term of this Agreement, You may obtain development-related digital certificates from Apple, subject to a maximum number as reasonably determined by Apple, that will allow Your Application to be installed and tested on Authorized Test Devices. You may also obtain, during the Term, one or more production digital certificates from Apple, subject to a maximum number as reasonably determined by Apple, to be used for the sole purpose of signing Your Application(s) prior to submission of Your Application to Apple or limited distribution of Your Application for use on Registered Devices. 

In relation to this, You represent and warrant to Apple that: (a) You will not take any action to interfere with the normal operation of any Apple-issued digital certificates or Provisioning Profiles; (b) You are solely responsible for preventing any unauthorized person from having access to Your digital certificates and corresponding private keys and You will use best efforts to safeguard Your digital certificates and corresponding private keys from compromise; (c) You agree to immediately notify Apple in writing if You have any reason to believe there has been a compromise of any of Your digital certificates or corresponding private keys; (d) You will not provide or transfer Apple-issued digital certificates provided under this Program to any third party, nor use Your digital certificate to sign a third party's application; and (e) You will use Apple-issued certificates provided under this Program exclusively for the purpose of signing Your Applications for testing, submission to Apple and/or limited distribution for use on Registered Devices as contemplated under this Program, and only in accordance with this Agreement.

You further represent and warrant to Apple that the licensing terms governing Your Application, or governing any third party code or FOSS included in Your Application, will be consistent with and not conflict with the digital signing or content protection aspects of the Program or any of the terms, conditions or requirements of the Program or this Agreement. In particular, such licensing terms will not purport to require Apple (or its agents) to disclose or make available any of the keys, authorization codes, methods, procedures, data or other information related to the Security Solution, digital signing or digital rights management mechanisms utilized as part of the Program. If You discover any such inconsistency or conflict, You agree to immediately notify Apple of it and will cooperate with Apple to resolve such matter. Apple may immediately cease distribution of any affected Licensed Applications and refuse to accept any subsequent Application submissions from You until such matter is resolved to Apple’s reasonable satisfaction.

6. Application Submission and Selection

6.1 Submission to Apple

You may submit Your Application for consideration by Apple for distribution via the App Store once You decide that Your Application has been adequately tested and is complete. By submitting Your Application, You represent and warrant that Your Application complies with the Documentation and Program Requirements then in effect. You agree to cooperate with Apple in this process and to answer questions and provide information about Your submitted Application, as reasonably requested by Apple.

If You make any changes to an Application after it has been submitted to Apple, You must resubmit the Application. Similarly all bug fixes, updates, upgrades, modifications, enhancements, supplements to, revisions, new releases and new versions of Your Application must be submitted to Apple for review in order for them to be considered for distribution via the App Store. 

6.2 Selection by Apple for Distribution

You understand and agree that Apple may, in its sole discretion:

(a) determine that Your Application does not meet all or any part of the Documentation or Program Requirements then in effect; 

(b)  reject Your Application for distribution for any reason, even if Your Application meets the Documentation and Program Requirements; or

(c) select and digitally sign Your Application for distribution via the App Store.

Apple shall not be responsible for any costs, expenses, damages, losses (including without limitation lost business opportunities or lost profits) or other liabilities You may incur as a result of Your Application development, use of this Apple Software, or participation in the Program, including without limitation the fact that Your Application may not be selected for distribution via the App Store. You will be solely responsible for developing Applications that are safe, free of defects in design and operation, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. You will also be solely responsible for any documentation and end user customer support and warranty of your Applications. The fact that Apple may have reviewed, tested, approved or selected an Application will not relieve You of any of these responsibilities.

7. Distribution

Applications developed under this Agreement may be distributed in two ways: (1) through the App Store, if selected by Apple, and (2) distribution for use on a limited number of Registered Devices.

 

7.1 Delivery of Freely Available Licensed Applications via the App Store

If Your Application qualifies as a Licensed Application, it is eligible for delivery to end users via the App Store by Apple and/or an Apple Subsidiary. If You would like Apple and/or an Apple Subsidiary to deliver Your Licensed Application to end users for free (no charge), then You appoint Apple and Apple Subsidiaries as your legal agent pursuant to the terms of Schedule 1, for Licensed Applications designated by You as free of charge applications.  

If Your Application qualifies as a Licensed Application and You intend to charge end users a fee of any kind for Your Licensed Application, You must enter into a separate agreement (Schedule 2) with, and provided by, Apple and/or an Apple Subsidiary before any such commercial distribution of Your Licensed Application may take place via the App Store. To the extent that You enter into Schedule 2 with Apple and/or an Apple Subsidiary, the terms of Schedule 2 will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.

7.2 Distribution on Registered Devices

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You may also distribute Your Applications to individuals within Your company, organization, group, or who are otherwise affiliated with You for use solely on a limited number of Registered Devices (as specified on the Program web portal), if Your Application has been digitally signed using Your Apple-issued digital certificate as described in this Agreement.  By distributing Your Application in this manner, You represent and warrant to Apple that Your Application complies with the Documentation and Program Requirements then in effect and You agree to cooperate with Apple and to answer questions and provide information about Your Application, as reasonably requested by Apple.  

You also agree to be solely responsible for determining which individuals within Your company, organization or affiliated group should have access to and use of Your Applications and Registered Devices, and for managing such Registered Devices. Apple shall not be responsible for any costs, expenses, damages, losses (including without limitation lost business opportunities or lost profits) or other liabilities You may incur as a result of distributing Your Applications in this manner, or for Your failure to adequately manage, limit or otherwise control the access to and use of Your Applications and Registered Devices.

You will be responsible for attaching or otherwise including, at Your discretion, any relevant usage terms with Your Applications. Apple will not be responsible for any violations of Your usage terms.  You will be solely responsible for all user assistance, warranty and support of Your Applications.

7.3 No Other Distribution Authorized Under this Agreement

Except for the distribution of freely available Licensed Applications and the distribution of Applications for use on Registered Devices as set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above, no other distribution of programs or applications developed using the Apple Software is authorized or permitted hereunder.  In the absence of a separate agreement with Apple, You agree not to distribute Your Application to third parties via other distribution methods or to enable or permit others to do so.

8. Revocation

You understand and agree that Apple may cease distribution of Your Licensed Application(s) and/or Licensed Application Information or revoke the digital certificate of any of Your Applications at any time.  By way of example only, Apple might choose to do this if at any time:

(a) Any of Your Provisioning Profiles, digital certificates or corresponding private keys has been compromised or Apple has reason to believe that either has been compromised;

(b) Apple has been notified or otherwise has reason to believe that Your Application violates, misappropriates, or infringes the rights of a third party or of Apple;

(c) Apple has reason to believe that Your Application contains malicious or harmful code, malware, programs or other internal components (e.g. software virus); 

(d) Apple has reason to believe that Your Application damages, corrupts, degrades, destroys or otherwise adversely affects the devices it operates on, or any other software, firmware, hardware, data, systems, or networks accessed or used by the Application;

(e) You breach any term or condition of this Agreement or the Registered iPhone Developer terms and conditions;

(f) Any information or documents provided by You to Apple for the purpose of verifying your identity or obtaining Provisioning Profiles or Apple-issued digital certificates is false or inaccurate;

(g) Any representation, warranty or certification provided by You to Apple in this Agreement is untrue or inaccurate;

(h) Apple is required by law, regulation or other governmental or court order to take such action; 

(i) You request that Apple take such action in accordance with Schedule 1; or

(j) Apple has reason to believe that such action is prudent or necessary.

9. Program Fees 

As consideration for the rights and licenses granted to You under this Agreement and Your participation in the Program, You agree to pay Apple the requisite annual program fees as set forth on the Program website. The fees are non-refundable. Any taxes that may be levied on the Apple Software or Your use of it shall be Your responsibility. Your program fees must be paid up and not in arrears at the time You submit (or resubmit) Applications to Apple under this Agreement.

10. Confidentiality

10.1 Information Deemed Confidential

You agree that the Apple Software licensed hereunder, the Documentation, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any other non-public information that You learn about Apple’s products, designs, research, development, know-how, or Apple’s business, finances or personnel, or non-public third party information, in connection with this Agreement or in connection with Your use of any part of the Apple Software will be deemed “Apple Confidential Information” under this Agreement.

10.2 Information Not Deemed Confidential

Apple works with many application and software developers and some of their products may be similar to or compete with Your Applications. Apple may also be developing its own similar or competing applications and products or may decide to do so in the future. To avoid potential misunderstandings, Apple cannot agree, and expressly disclaims, any confidentiality obligations or use restrictions, express or implied, with respect to any information that You may provide in connection with this Agreement or the Program, including information about Your Application, Licensed Application Information and metadata (such disclosures will be referred to as “Licensee Disclosures”). You agree that any such Licensee Disclosures will be non-confidential. Apple will be free to use and disclose any Licensee Disclosures on an unrestricted basis without notifying or compensating You. You release Apple from all liability and obligations that may arise from the receipt, review, use, or disclosure of any portion of any Licensee Disclosures. Any physical materials You submit to Apple will become Apple property and Apple will have no obligation to return those materials to You or to certify their destruction.

Information that otherwise would be deemed Confidential Information but (i) is generally available to the public through no fault or breach of the recipient, (ii) is independently developed by the recipient without the use of any of the other party’s Confidential Information, (iii) was rightfully obtained from a third party who had the right to transfer or disclose it to the recipient without limitation, or (iv) any FOSS included in the Apple Software and accompanied by licensing terms that do not impose confidentiality obligations on the use or disclosure of such FOSS will not be deemed Confidential Information under this Agreement.

10.3 Obligations Regarding Confidential Information

You agree to protect Apple Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care that You use to protect Your own confidential information of similar importance, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. You agree to use Apple Confidential Information solely for the purpose of exercising Your rights and performing Your obligations under this Agreement and agree not to use Apple Confidential Information for any other purpose, or for Your own or any third party’s benefit, without the express prior written consent of an authorized representative of Apple. You further agree not to disclose or disseminate Apple Confidential Information to anyone, or to discuss anything about the Apple Confidential Information with anyone, other than those of Your employees and contractors who have a need to know and who are bound by a written agreement that prohibits unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information, or except as otherwise agreed in writing by Apple. You may disclose Apple Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that You take reasonable steps to notify Apple of such requirement before disclosing the Apple Confidential Information and to obtain protective treatment of the Apple Confidential Information. You acknowledge that damages for improper disclosure of Apple Confidential Information may be irreparable; therefore, Apple is entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and preliminary injunction, in addition to all other remedies.

10.4 Press Releases and Other Publicity
