Fun: Don’t Forget to Accept New iCloud Terms & Conditions

Apple has bestowed upon us some wonderful weekend reading, in the form of all new iCloud Terms and Conditions, which are required to accept if you wish to continue to use iCloud on your Apple devices. It’s iCloud, it’s Terms, and it’s Conditions… iCloud. Terms. Conditions… are you getting it yet? This is not three separate documents!

It’s a page turner from the very beginning where Apple welcomes you – and you do feel that welcome, don’t you? – to the very end where they provide a URL for the web version of the document, the full new iCloud Terms and Conditions comes in at a soothing 10,437 words. That’s roughly 21 pages of a single-spaced text document, or 42 pages double-spaced for all you students out there, making the new iCloud Terms and Conditions roughly the length of a healthy college dissertation.

The writing style is effortless and riveting, and it’ll keep you on the edge of your seat like a Jack Carr novel, rising to a thrilling crescendo once it reaches the section on how you’re not allowed to use any of the Apple software or services to participate in the “development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons” (seriously, it says that, so don’t do any of that).

Since everyone on Planet Earth greatly enjoys reading and agreeing to extended corporate legalese, particularly in their spare time and before they can use a service or product they already used, you’re certainly going to read and study every single word and implication of the new iCloud Terms and Conditions with tremendous precision and enthusiasm.

While you can read the entire thriller of a document in a small System Settings window on MacOS with an easy on the eyes light grey micro size 8 font against a white background, we are also going to paste the full iCloud Terms and Conditions document below for your complete and total reading pleasure, so break out Reader Mode and get to it.

As for me, I tried to shortcut reading the Terms and Conditions by pasting the entire document into ChatGPT for a summary. Alas, ChatGPT rejected me, telling me the “message submitted was too long” as I tried to force feed the AI assistant the new 65,743 character document.

Now really, you do need to accept these iCloud Terms and Conditions otherwise iCloud will pause working on your devices, which could prevent using iCloud services, like syncing and backups. So go ahead and head over to System Settings on your Mac, or click on the notification you will inevitably get, so that you can use your Mac as usual.

New iCloud Terms and Conditions for September 16 2024

Welcome to iCloud THIS LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND APPLE GOVERNS YOUR USE OF THE iCLOUD PRODUCT, SOFTWARE, SERVICES, AND WEBSITES (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS THE “SERVICE”). IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING TERMS. BY CLICKING “AGREE,” YOU ARE AGREEING THAT THESE TERMS WILL APPLY IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. Apple is the provider of the Service, which permits you to utilize certain Internet services, including storing your personal content (such as contacts, calendars, photos, notes, reminders, documents, app data, and iCloud email) and making it accessible on your compatible devices and computers, and certain location-based services, only under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. iCloud is automatically enabled when you are running devices on iOS 9 or later and sign in with your Apple Account (previously referred to as “Apple ID”) during device setup, unless you are upgrading the device and have previously chosen not to enable iCloud. You can disable iCloud in Settings. When iCloud is enabled, your content will be automatically stored by Apple on Apple’s or third-party providers’ servers, so you can later access that content or have content wirelessly pushed to your other iCloud-enabled devices or computers. I. REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE SERVICE A. Age. The Service is only available to individuals aged 13 years or older (or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction), unless you are under 13 years old and your Apple Account was provided to you as a result of a request by an approved educational institution or established as part of the Family Sharing feature by your parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from children under 13, or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction, without verifiable parental consent. Parents and guardians should also remind any minors that conversing with strangers on the Internet can be dangerous and take appropriate precautions to protect children, including monitoring their use of the Service. To use the Service, you cannot be a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions, including the country in which you reside or from where you use the Service. By accepting this Agreement, you represent that you understand and agree to the foregoing. B. Devices and Accounts. Use of the Service may require compatible devices, Internet access, and certain software (fees may apply); may require periodic updates; and may be affected by the performance of these factors. Apple reserves the right to limit the number of iCloud accounts (“Accounts”) that may be created from a device and the number of devices associated with an Account. The latest version of required software may be required for certain transactions or features. You agree that meeting these requirements is your responsibility. C. Limitations on Use. You agree to use the Service only for purposes permitted by this Agreement, and only to the extent permitted by any applicable law, regulation, or generally accepted practice in the applicable jurisdiction. Your Account is allocated 5GB of storage capacity as described in the iCloud feature pages. Additional storage is available for purchase, as described below. Exceeding any applicable or reasonable limitation of bandwidth, or storage capacity (for example, backup or email account space) is prohibited and may prevent you from backing up to iCloud, adding documents, or receiving new email sent to your iCloud email address. If your use of the Service or other behavior intentionally or unintentionally threatens Apple’s ability to provide the Service or other systems, Apple shall be entitled to take all reasonable steps to protect the Service and Apple’s systems, which may include suspension of your access to the Service. Repeated violations of the limitations may result in termination of your Account. If you are a covered entity, business associate or representative of a covered entity or business associate (as those terms are defined at 45 C.F.R § 160.103), You agree that you will not use any component, function or other facility of iCloud to create, receive, maintain or transmit any “protected health information” (as such term is defined at 45 C.F.R § 160.103) or use iCloud in any manner that would make Apple (or any Apple Subsidiary) your or any third party’s business associate. D. Availability of the Service. The Service, or any feature or part thereof, may not be available in all languages or in all countries and Apple makes no representation that the Service, or any feature or part thereof, is appropriate or available for use in any particular location. To the extent you choose to access and use the Service, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws. E. Changing the Service. Apple reserves the right at any time to modify this Agreement and to impose new or additional terms or conditions on your use of the Service, provided that Apple will give you 30 days’ advance notice of any material adverse change to the Service or applicable terms of service, unless it would not be reasonable to do so due to circumstances arising from legal, regulatory, or governmental action; to address user security, user privacy, or technical integrity concerns; to avoid service disruptions to other users; or due to a natural disaster, catastrophic event, war, or other similar occurrence outside of Apple’s reasonable control. With respect to paid iCloud services, e.g. iCloud+ as defined below, Apple will not make any material adverse change to the Service before the end of your current paid term, unless a change is reasonably necessary to address legal, regulatory, or governmental action; to address user security, user privacy, or technical integrity concerns; to avoid service disruptions to other users; or to avoid issues resulting from a natural disaster, a catastrophic event, war, or other similar occurrence outside of Apple’s reasonable control. In the event that Apple does make material adverse changes to the Service or terms of use, you will have the right to terminate this Agreement and your account, in which case Apple will provide you with a pro rata refund of any pre-payment for your then-current paid term. Apple shall not be liable to you for any modifications to the Service or terms of service made in accordance with this Section I.E. II. FEATURES AND SERVICES A. Photos 1. iCloud Photos. When you enable iCloud Photos, your photos, videos, metadata and any edits that you make in the Photos App on your iOS device, macOS computer, or Windows PC will be automatically uploaded and stored in iCloud, and then pushed to all of your other iCloud Photos-enabled devices and computers. The photo and video resolution may vary depending on your device settings and available storage. You may download full resolution photos and videos at any time. 2. Shared Albums. When you use Shared Albums, Apple stores any photos and videos you share until you delete them. You can access your shared photos and videos from a device that has access to Shared Albums. People you invite to Shared Albums may view, save, copy, and share these photos and videos, as well as contribute photos and videos, and comments. If you choose to use Shared Albums to share photos via a web link, these photos will be publicly available to anyone who has been provided or has access to the web link. If you want to stop sharing individual photos, videos, comments or entire Shared Albums, you may delete them at any time. However, any content previously copied from a Shared Album to another device or computer will not be deleted. 3. Shared Photo Library. If you have iCloud Photos enabled, you can create or join one Shared Library with up to five other people. When you contribute photos and videos to a Shared Photo Library, they move out of your Personal Library and into the Shared Library. All participants have equal permissions to add, edit, and delete content in the Shared Library. The participants in the Shared Library all have access to the Shared Library content but the Shared Library content only counts against the iCloud Storage quota of the person who created the Shared Library. If the library owner runs out of iCloud storage, content can no longer be added to the Shared Library and changes such as edits, favorites, and metadata adjustments no longer sync. Users who are under 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction) with an Apple Account established by a parent or guardian can only participate in a Shared Photo Library with other Family members. B. Folder and File Sharing. When you use iCloud Folder and File Sharing, Apple stores any files you share until you delete them. You can access your shared files from any of your Apple devices with iCloud Drive enabled. You may give access to people to view, save, copy or edit these files. You have the option to give people the right to edit the files or to only view them. If you use iCloud Folder and File Sharing to share files via a web link, these files will be publicly accessible to anyone who has been provided the web link. You can stop sharing files at any time. If you stop sharing, files will be removed from iCloud Drive on everyone’s devices. However, any file previously copied to another device or computer will not be deleted. C. Mail Drop. If you are logged in to iCloud and you use the macOS Mail app or iCloud Mail on the web to send emails with large attachments, you will have the option of using Mail Drop. With Mail Drop, your large attachments will be temporarily stored on iCloud servers in order to facilitate their delivery. Apple will either send a link or a preview of the attachment to recipients, depending on your recipient’s email client application. Temporary storage of large email attachments will not count towards your iCloud storage quota. For more information about Mail Drop, please go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203093. D. Third-Party Apps. If you sign in to certain third party apps with your iCloud credentials, you agree to allow that app to store data in your personal iCloud account and for Apple to collect, store and process such data on behalf of the relevant third-party app developer in association with your use of the Service and such apps. The data that the app stores in your personal iCloud account will count towards your storage limit. Such data may be shared with another app that you download from the same app developer. E. Family Sharing. With Family Sharing, you can share certain purchased content such as Store purchases and Apple subscriptions with members of your family. You may also share certain content such as photos, calendars, location, and screen time information depending on what your family chooses to share. You may also share certain subscriptions and in-app purchases from third parties. For more information regarding sharing your content purchases, please see the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/ww/. For more information about sharing content, device usage and location information with family members, please see https://www.apple.com/family-sharing/. F. iCloud Web-Only Account. If you sign up for the Service with a web-only account on a non-Apple-branded device or computer, you will have access to only a limited set of Service functionality. You will receive 1 GB of free storage and you will not be able to increase this amount with a web-only account. As a condition to accessing the Service with a web-only account, you agree to all relevant terms and conditions found in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all requirements for use of the Service, limitations on use, availability, public beta, disclaimers of warranties, rules regarding your content and conduct, and termination. Terms found in this Agreement relating to features not available for web-only users will not be applicable to you. These include, for example, use of location-based services and payment of fees for iCloud storage upgrades. You further agree that if you subsequently access your web-only account from an Apple-branded device or Apple-branded computer, whether or not you own such device or computer, Apple may automatically upgrade your web-only account to a full iCloud account and provide all available functionality of the Service to you, including increased free storage capacity. If you choose to access your web-only account from an Apple-branded device or Apple-branded computer and you are subsequently upgraded to full functionality of the Service, you agree that all of the terms and conditions contained herein apply to your use of the Service. If you do not want to have a full iCloud account, do not sign in to your web-only account from an Apple-branded device or computer. G. iCloud+. “iCloud+” is a premium iCloud Subscription that includes access to additional storage and certain premium features. The subscription plans for iCloud+ are iCloud+ Subscriptions. Depending on the requirements of your location, you can obtain some or all of the following iCloud+ features if you have an iCloud+ Subscription or someone in your Family Sharing group has an iCloud+ Subscription and shares it with you: 1. Private Relay. Private Relay allows you to connect to and browse the web more privately and securely by encrypting your internet traffic and sending it through at least two internet relays. When using Private Relay some websites may not behave as expected, for example by showing content for the wrong region or requiring extra steps to sign in. You can enable or disable Private Relay from iCloud Settings at any time. Additionally, Private Relay may impact your internet provider’s ability to exempt your data usage from data caps and may result in additional charges from your internet provider. Private Relay may be initially available as a beta and, if so, it is a Beta Feature subject to the provisions of Section VI.C. (Public Beta). 2. Hide My Email. Hide My Email allows you to generate unique, random email addresses that will forward onto an email address of your choosing. Apple reserves the right to limit the number of email addresses available under this feature, or to terminate the use of an alias if the use violates the terms and conditions as set forth herein. 3. HomeKit Secure Video. HomeKit Secure Video in iCloud+ allows you to store video from compatible home security cameras in iCloud and view your footage remotely. HomeKit Secure Video requires a supported iCloud+ plan, compatible HomeKit-enabled security camera, and HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad running as a home hub. Certain iCloud+ plans may limit the number of cameras or video streams available to you. 4. Custom Email Domains. You can personalize your iCloud Mail address with a custom domain name (when available) and invite members of your family to use the same domain with their iCloud Mail accounts. Each person can have up to three email addresses per domain. Mail stored in iCloud counts toward your iCloud storage. If you run out of iCloud storage space, you will not be able to receive new messages at your custom email addresses until you make more storage space available. Apple reserves the right to refuse to personalize your iCloud Mail address with a custom domain name that is unlawful, harassing, threatening, harmful, tortious, defamatory, libelous, abusive, violent, obscene, vulgar, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or otherwise objectionable. Some iCloud+ features are not available in all countries or regions. H. Two-Factor Authentication and Autodialed Calls/Texts. If you choose to enable Two-Factor Authentication for your Apple Account, you consent to (a) provide Apple at least one telephone number; and (b) receive autodialed or prerecorded calls and text messages from Apple at any of the telephone numbers provided. We may place such calls or texts to (i) help keep your Account secure when signing in; (ii) help you access your Account when you’ve forgotten your password; or (iii) as otherwise necessary to service your Account or enforce this Agreement, our policies, applicable law, or any other agreement we may have with you. I. Help with Account Recovery. You can add one or more people as a recovery contact who can use their device to generate a code that can help you regain access to your account and data. The recovery contact must be over 13 years old (or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction), have an Apple Account, two factor authentication, and an Apple device with device passcode enabled. They will not be able to get direct access to your account. It is your responsibility to keep your recovery contacts up to date. J. Advanced Data Protection. With Advanced Data Protection, you can enable the use of end-to-end encryption to further protect additional categories of your data in iCloud, including your iCloud Backup, Photos, Notes, and files stored in iCloud Drive. To enable Advanced Data Protection, you must have two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple Account and a trusted device (devices on which you have signed into your Account using two-factor authentication) for that account with passcode or password enabled. In addition, you will also be required to generate a recovery key or designate at least one account recovery contact to help you regain access to your Account and data in the event you forget your Account password, do not have access to any of your trusted devices, and you have forgotten your device passcodes or passwords. You can change your recovery contacts at any time, but they must be over 13 years old (or equivalent minimum age where the recovery contact resides), have an Apple Account with two-factor authentication enabled, and have an Apple device set with a passcode or a password. Apple will not be able to help you recover data protected using Advanced Data Protection once it has been enabled, so it is your responsibility to keep your recovery key safe and/or your recovery contacts up to date. Apple shall bear no responsibility for your inability to access your account or data related to a failure to safeguard your recovery key or if your recovery contact is unable or unwilling to help you regain access to your Account and data. Managed Apple Accounts and Child accounts are ineligible for Advanced Data Protection. You may turn off Advanced Data Protection at any time. K. Security Keys. Security Keys allows you to require a physical security key to be used to sign in with your Apple Account. Security Keys requires that you have two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple Account, and that you use a FIDO certified third party security key as one of your two factors. Security Keys allows you to use a trusted device to add a new key or turn off Security Keys altogether to preserve access to your account. However, if you have lost all of your security keys as well as your trusted devices, you will lose access to your account permanently, and Apple will not be able to help you regain access to your account or data. Apple shall bear no responsibility for your inability to access your account or data related to a failure to safeguard your physical security keys or if your physical security keys malfunction. Managed Apple Accounts and child accounts are ineligible for Security Keys. L. Digital Legacy. With Digital Legacy, you can choose to add one or more contacts to access and download certain data in your account after your death. If your designated contacts provide proof of death to Apple and have the required key, they will automatically obtain access to that certain account data and activation lock will be removed from all your devices. Thus, it is your responsibility to keep your Digital Legacy contacts up to date. You can learn more about Digital Legacy at http://support.apple.com/HT212360 and http://support.apple.com/HT212361. M. Use of Location-Based Services Apple and its partners and licensors may provide certain features or services that rely upon device-based location information using GPS (or similar technology, where available) and crowdsourced Wi-Fi access points and cell tower locations. To provide such features or services, where available, Apple and its partners and licensors must collect, use, transmit, process and maintain your location data, including but not limited to the geographic location of your device and information related to your Account and any devices registered thereunder, including but not limited to your Apple Account, device ID and name, and device type. You may withdraw consent to Apple and its partners’ and licensors’ collection, use, transmission, processing and maintenance of location and Account data at any time by not using the location-based features and turning off Find My (including the predecessor apps Find My iPhone and Find My Friends, collectively referred to as “Find My”), or Location Services in Settings (as applicable) on your device. When using third-party services that use or provide location data as part of the Service, you are subject to and should review such third party’s terms and privacy policy on use of location data by such third-party services. Any location data provided by the Service is not intended to be relied upon in situations where precise location information is needed or where erroneous, inaccurate, time-delayed or incomplete location data may lead to death, personal injury, property or environmental damage. Apple shall use reasonable skill and due care in providing the Service, but neither Apple nor any of its service and/or content providers guarantees the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of location data or any other data displayed by the Service. LOCATION-BASED SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED OR SUITABLE FOR USE AS AN EMERGENCY LOCATOR SYSTEM. N. Find My When you enable iCloud and Location Services on a device running iOS 13, iPad OS or macOS Catalina or later, Find My (Find My iPhone for devices running iOS 8 through iOS 12) will be enabled automatically on that device and any Apple accessories paired with it. Once enabled, your device will be automatically linked to your Apple Account and your Apple Account password will be required before anyone (including you) can turn off Find My, sign out of iCloud, erase or activate the device. Apple and its authorized agents may not perform hardware or software support services, including services under Apple’s limited warranty, unless you disable Find My prior to service. Apple shall bear no responsibility for your failure to protect your iOS device with a passcode, enable Lost Mode, and/or receive or respond to notices and communications. Apple shall also bear no responsibility for returning your iOS device to you or for any loss of data on your iOS device. Find My Network is a crowdsourcing feature that can help you and others locate missing devices when those devices are not connected to the internet. If Find My Network is enabled on a device, it can detect the presence of nearby offline devices via Bluetooth (or similar technologies). If a device detects a missing offline device, it will use Wi-Fi or cellular connections to securely report the approximate location of the device back to the Apple Account associated with the device so the owner can view its location in the Find My app. Location reporting is end-to-end encrypted, and Apple cannot see the location of the reporting device or any offline device. You can disable Find My Network in Settings. O. Backup iCloud Backup periodically creates automatic backups for iOS devices, when the device is screen locked, connected to a power source, and connected to the Internet via a Wi-Fi network. If a device has not backed up to iCloud for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, Apple reserves the right to delete any backups associated with that device. Backup may include device settings, device characteristics, photos and videos, documents, your messages, ringtones, Health app data and other app data. For additional information, please go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207428. The following content is not included in your iCloud backup: content purchased from the iTunes Store, App Store, or Apple Books, media synced from your computer, and your photo library if you have enabled iCloud Photo Library. Apple shall use reasonable skill and due care in providing the Service, but, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT ANY CONTENT YOU MAY STORE OR ACCESS THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO INADVERTENT DAMAGE, CORRUPTION, LOSS, OR REMOVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND APPLE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD SUCH DAMAGE, CORRUPTION, LOSS, OR REMOVAL OCCUR. It is your responsibility to maintain appropriate alternate backup of your information and data. III. SUBSCRIPTION UPGRADES The iCloud+ Subscription plans are available for purchase on a subscription basis. A. Payment By you upgrading to the iCloud+ Subscription service for more storage and additional features, Apple will automatically charge on a recurring basis the fee for the plan you choose, including any applicable taxes, to the payment method associated with your Apple Account (e.g., the payment method you use to shop on the iTunes Store, App Store, or Apple Books, if available) or the payment method associated with your Family account. For details about plans and pricing, please visit https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201238. If you are a Family organizer, you agree to have Apple charge your payment method on a recurring basis for members of your Family who upgrade their plan. Apple may also obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the transaction and contact you periodically by email to the email address associated with your Apple Account for billing reminders and other subscription account-related communications. You can change your subscription by upgrading or downgrading your plan under the iCloud section of Settings on your device, or under the iCloud pane of System Preferences on your Mac or iCloud for Windows on your PC. The applicable fee for an upgraded plan will take effect immediately; downgrades to your plan will take effect on the next annual or monthly billing date. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND FOR PROVIDING APPLE WITH VALID CREDIT CARD OR PAYMENT ACCOUNT DETAILS FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. If Apple is unable to successfully charge your credit card or payment account for fees due, Apple reserves the right to revoke or restrict access to your stored content, delete your stored content, or terminate your Account. If you want to designate a different credit card or payment account or if there is a change in your credit card or payment account status, you must change your information online in the Account Information section of iCloud; this may temporarily disrupt your access to the Services while Apple verifies your new payment information. We may contact you via email regarding your account, for reasons including, without limitation, reaching or exceeding your storage limit of your selected plan. If you are in Brazil, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: For any charges made by Apple to you, Apple may use an affiliated company to perform activities of collection and remittances to charge any amounts owed by you in connection with your iCloud account. In addition, your total price will include the price of the upgrade plus any applicable credit card fees. You are responsible for any taxes applicable to you except for any applicable withholding taxes which shall be collected by Apple’s affiliated company. You must provide all account information required by Apple to enable such transactions. You acknowledge and agree that if you do not provide all required account information, Apple shall have the right to terminate your account. B. Right of Withdrawal If you choose to cancel your subscription following its initial purchase or, if you are on an annual payment plan, following the commencement of any renewal term, you may do so by informing Apple with a clear statement (see applicable address details in section “General” below) within 14 days from when you received your e-mail confirmation by contacting Customer Support. You do not need to provide a reason for cancellation. To meet the cancellation deadline, you must send your communication of cancellation before the 14-day period has expired. Customers in the EU and Norway also have the right to inform us using the model cancellation form below: To: Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Republic of Ireland: I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract for the following: [SUBSCRIPTION PLAN AND PERIOD, e.g., 200 GB MONTHLY iCLOUD+ SUBSCRIPTION PLAN UPGRADE] Ordered on [INSERT DATE] Name of consumer Address of consumer Date Effects of cancellation We will reduce your storage back to 5 GB and reimburse you no later than 14 days from the day on which we receive your cancellation notice. If you have used more than 5GB of storage during this period, you may not be able to create any more iCloud backups or use certain features until you have reduced your storage. We will use the same means of payment as you used for the transaction, and you will not incur any fees for such reimbursement. IV. Your Use of the Service A. Your Account As a registered user of the Service, you must establish an Account. Don’t reveal your Account information to anyone else. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account and for all activities that occur on or through your Account, and you agree to immediately notify Apple of any security breach of your Account. You further acknowledge and agree that the Service is designed and intended for personal use on an individual basis and you should not share your Account and/or password details with another individual. Provided we have exercised reasonable skill and due care, Apple shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of your Account resulting from you not following these rules. In order to use the Service, you must enter your Apple Account and password to authenticate your Account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when you register with, and as you use, the Service (“Service Registration Data”), and you agree to update your Service Registration Data to keep it accurate and complete. Failure to provide accurate, current and complete Service Registration Data may result in the suspension and/or termination of your Account. You agree that Apple may store and use the Service Registration Data you provide for use in maintaining and billing fees to your Account. B. Use of Other Apple Products and Services Particular components or features of the Service provided by Apple and/or its licensors, including but not limited to the ability to download previous purchases and iTunes Match and/or iCloud Music Library (additional fees apply), require separate software or other license agreements or terms of use. You must read, accept, and agree to be bound by any such separate agreement as a condition of using these particular components or features of the Service. C.

You understand that all Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted on the Service is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not Apple, are solely responsible for any Content you upload, download, post, email, transmit, store or otherwise make available through your use of the Service. You understand that by using the Service you may encounter Content that you may find offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and that you may expose others to Content that they may find objectionable.
