16. Apple App Store — Additional Terms
The following terms apply because the App is distributed through the Apple App Store and are required by Apple Inc. as minimum terms of any developer end-user license agreement.
16.1 Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App and its content. These Terms may not conflict with Apple's applicable terms and conditions.
16.2 Scope of License. The license granted in Section 4 is limited to use on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's applicable terms and conditions, except that the App may also be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
16.3 Maintenance and Support. The Developer is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App, as specified in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
16.4 Warranty. To the extent not effectively disclaimed under applicable law, the Developer is solely responsible for product warranties. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the Developer's sole responsibility.
16.5 Product Claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
16.6 Intellectual Property Rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
16.7 Legal Compliance. By using the App, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
16.8 Third-Party Terms of Agreement. When using the App, you must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement (e.g., your wireless data service agreement when using the App over a mobile network).
