You further agree that You shall remain responsible for the payment of any royalties or other payments to third parties relating to the distribution and use of Your pre-release Licensed Applications, as well as compliance with any and all laws for territories in which such Beta Testing takes place. For the sake of clarity, no commission shall be owed to Apple with respect to such distribution.

You hereby represent and warrant that You own or control the necessary rights in order to appoint Apple and Apple Subsidiaries as Your worldwide agent and/or commissionaire for the delivery of Your Licensed Applications, and that the fulfillment of such appointment by Apple and Apple Subsidiaries shall not violate or infringe the rights of any third party.

2. Delivery of the Licensed Applications to Apple
2.1 You will deliver to Apple, at Your sole expense, using the App Store Connect tool or other mechanism provided by Apple, the Licensed Applications, Licensed Application Information and associated metadata, in a format and manner prescribed by Apple, as required for the delivery of the Licensed Applications to End-Users in accordance with this Schedule 2. Metadata You deliver to Apple under this Schedule 2 will include: (i) the title and version number of each of the Licensed Applications; (ii) the countries You designate, in which You wish Apple to allow End-Users to download those Licensed Applications; (iii) any copyright or other intellectual property rights notices; (iv) Your privacy policy; (v) Your End-User license agreement (“XXXX”), if any, in accordance with Section 4.2 of this Schedule 2; and (vi) any additional metadata set forth in the Documentation and/or the App Store Connect Tool as may be updated from time to time, including metadata designed to enhance search and discovery of content on Apple-branded hardware.
2.2 All Licensed Applications will be delivered by You to Apple using software tools, a secure FTP site address and/or such other delivery methods as prescribed by Apple.
2.3 You hereby certify that all of the Licensed Applications You deliver to Apple under this Schedule 2 are authorized for export from the United States to each of the countries listed on Exhibit A hereto, in accordance with the requirements of all applicable laws, including but not limited to the United States Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-774 and the International Traffic In Arms Regulations 22 C.F.R. Parts 120-
130. Without limiting the generality of this Section 2.3, You certify that (i) none of the Licensed Applications contains, uses or supports any data encryption or cryptographic functions; or (ii) in the event that any Licensed
V117
3 December 2020
Application contains, uses or supports any such data encryption or cryptographic functionality, You certify that You have complied with the United States Export Administration Regulations, and are in possession of, and will upon request provide Apple with, a PDF copy of Your Encryption Registration Number (ERN), or export classification ruling (CCATS) issued by the United States Commerce Department, Bureau of Industry and Security and PDF copies of appropriate authorizations from other countries that mandate import authorizations for that Licensed Application, as required. You acknowledge that Apple is relying upon Your certification in this Section 2.3 in allowing End-Users to access and download the Licensed Applications under this Schedule 2.
Except as provided in this Section 2.3, Apple will be responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Export Administration Regulations in allowing End-Users to access and download the Licensed Applications under this Schedule 2.
2.4 You shall be responsible for determining and implementing any age ratings or parental advisory warnings required by the applicable government regulations, ratings board(s), service(s), or other organizations (each a “Ratings Board”) for any video, television, gaming or other content offered in Your Licensed Application for each locality in the Territory. Where applicable, You shall also be responsible for providing any content restriction tools or age verification functionality before enabling end-users to access mature or otherwise regulated content within Your Licensed Application.
3. Delivery of the Licensed Applications to End-Users
3.1 You acknowledge and agree that Apple, in the course of acting as agent and/or commissionaire for You, is hosting, or pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of this Schedule 2 may enable authorized third parties to host, the Licensed Applications, and is allowing the download of those Licensed Applications by End-Users, on Your behalf. However, You are responsible for hosting and delivering content or services sold by You using the In- App Purchase API, except for content that is included within the Licensed Application itself (i.e., the In-App Purchase simply unlocks the content) or content hosted by Apple pursuant to section 3.3 of Attachment 2 to the Agreement. All of the Licensed Applications shall be marketed by Apple, on Your behalf, to End-Users at prices identified in a price tier and designated by You, in Your sole discretion, from the pricing schedule set forth in the App Store Connect tool, which may be updated from time to time by Apple. In addition, You may, at Your election via App Store Connect, instruct Apple to market the Licensed Applications at a discount of 50% of Your established price tier for authorized institutional customers. You may change the price tier for any Licensed Application at any time, at Your discretion, in accordance with the pricing schedule set forth on that Exhibit C as updated from time to time, using tools provided on the App Store Connect tool. As Your agent and/or commissionaire, Apple shall be solely responsible for the collection of all prices payable by End-Users for Licensed Applications acquired by those End-Users under this Schedule 2.
3.2 In the event that the sale or delivery of any of the Licensed Applications to any End-User is subject to any sales, use, goods and services, value added, or other similar tax or levy, under applicable law, responsibility for the collection and remittance of that tax for sales of the Licensed Applications to End-Users will be determined in accordance with Exhibit B to this Schedule 2 as updated from time to time via the App Store Connect site. For the sake of clarity, Apple shall not be responsible for the collection and remittance of telecommunications and similar taxes. You shall indemnify and hold Apple harmless against any and all claims by any tax authority for any underpayment of any sales, use, goods and services, value added or other tax or levy, and any penalties and/or interest thereon.
3.3 In furtherance of the parties’ respective tax compliance obligations, Apple requires that You comply with the requirements listed on Exhibit D to this Schedule 2 or on App Store Connect depending upon, among other things, (i) Your country of residence and (ii) the countries designated by You in which You wish Apple to allow access to the Licensed Applications. In the event that Apple collects any amounts corresponding to the purchase price for any of Your Licensed Applications before You have provided Apple with any tax documentation required under Exhibit D to this Schedule 2, Apple will not remit those amounts to You, but will hold those amounts in trust for You, until such time as You have provided Apple with the required tax documentation. Upon receipt of all required tax documents from You, Apple will remit to You any amounts held in trust by Apple for You, without interest, under this Section 3.3, in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule 2.
3.4 Apple shall be entitled to the following commissions in consideration for its services as Your agent and/or commissionaire under this Schedule 2:
(a) For sales of Licensed Applications to End-Users located in those countries listed in Exhibit B, Section 1 of this Schedule 2 as updated from time to time via the App Store Connect site, Apple shall be entitled to a
V117
3 December 2020
commission equal to thirty percent (30%) of all prices payable by each End-User. Solely for auto-renewing subscription purchases made by customers who have accrued greater than one year of paid subscription service within a Subscription Group (as defined below) and notwithstanding any Retention Grace Periods, Apple shall be entitled to a commission equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all prices payable by each End-User for each subsequent renewal. Retention Grace Period refers to the time period between the end of a customer’s subscription (e.g. due to cancelation or non-payment) and the beginning of a new subscription within the same Subscription Group, provided that such time period is no greater than 60 days, subject to change. For purposes of determining the commissions to which Apple is entitled under this Section 3.4(a), the prices payable by End-Users shall be net of any and all taxes collected, as provided in Section 3.2 of this Schedule 2.
(b) For sales of Licensed Applications to End-Users located in those countries listed in Exhibit B, Section 2 of this Schedule 2 as updated from time to time via the App Store Connect site, Apple shall be entitled to a commission equal to thirty percent (30%) of all prices payable by each End-User. Solely for auto-renewing subscription purchases made by customers who have accrued greater than one year of paid subscription service within a Subscription Group (as defined below) and notwithstanding any Retention Grace Periods, Apple shall be entitled to a commission equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all prices payable by each End-User for each subsequent renewal.
(c) App Store Small Business Program. For Developers who have qualified and been approved by Apple for the App Store Small Business Program, Apple shall be entitled to a reduced commission of 15% of all prices payable by each End-User for sales of Licensed Applications to End-Users located in those countries listed in Exhibit B of this Schedule 2 as updated from time to time via the App Store Connect site. You may qualify for approval in the App Store Small Business Program subject to the terms of the Agreement, this Schedule 2, and the following:
You and Your Associated Developer Accounts must have earned no more than $1,000,000 in total proceeds (sales net of Apple’s commission and certain taxes and adjustments) during the twelve (12) fiscal months occurring in the prior calendar year (“calendar year”), starting with the 2020 calendar year, as calculated by Apple under standard business practices.
To enroll in the App Store Small Business Program, You must provide Apple with any requested information related to You and Your Associated Developer Accounts. If there is a change in Your relationship to an Associated Developer Account, You must update such information. An “Associated Developer Account” is any Apple Developer Program account (i) You own or control or (ii) which owns or controls Your account. For example, as the individual or legal entity who accepted the terms of the Agreement and this Schedule 2, You have an Associated Developer Account if any of the following apply:
● | You have majority (over 50%) corporate, individual, or partnership interest in the ownership or shares of another Apple Developer Program member account. |
● | Another Apple Developer Program member has majority (over 50%) corporate, individual, or partnership interest in the ownership or shares of Your account. |
● | You have ultimate decision-making authority over another Apple Developer Program member account. |
● | Another Apple Developer Program member has ultimate decision-making authority over Your account. |
You and Your Associated Developer Accounts must be in good standing as members of the Apple Developer Program.
Once the total proceeds of You and Your Associated Developer Accounts exceeds $1,000,000 in the current calendar year, You will be charged the standard commission rate set forth in Section 3.4(a) and (b) in this Schedule 2 for the remainder of the calendar year.
Apple will determine eligibility and approve qualified Developers for participation in the App Store Small Business Program within fifteen (15) days of the end of each fiscal calendar month.
If the total proceeds of You and Your Associated Developer Accounts amount to no more than $1,000,000 in a future calendar year, You may re-qualify for approval in the App Store Small Business Program in the following calendar year.
Beginning January 1, 2021, You will not be eligible for the App Store Small Business Program if You
V117
3 December 2020
participate, either as the Transferor or the Recipient, in the transfer of a Licensed Application. For example, if You transfer a Licensed Application from Your developer account to another developer account using the App Store Connect tool, both you (the Transferor) and the other developer account (the Recipient) will not be eligible to participate in the App Store Small Business Program. Similarly, if another developer transfers a Licensed Application from its developer account to Your developer account using the App Store Connect
tool, both you (the Recipient) and the other developer account (the Transferor) will not be eligible to participate in the App Store Small Business Program.
You and Your Associated Developer Accounts will be disqualified from the App Store Small Business Program and terminated at Apple’s discretion, if You or Your Associated Developer Accounts engage in any suspicious, misleading, fraudulent, improper, unlawful or dishonest act or omission relating to qualification in the App Store Small Business Program (e.g., providing false or inaccurate information to Apple, creating or using multiple Apple Developer Program accounts to improperly benefit from the App Store Small Business Program).
Apple may withhold payments due to You and Your Associated Developer Accounts for violations of this provision.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 of this Schedule 2, Apple shall be entitled to the commissions specified in Sections 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) hereof without reduction for any taxes or other government levies, including any and all taxes or other, similar obligations of You, Apple or any End-User relating to the delivery or use of the Licensed Applications. For sales of Licensed Applications developed by Apple, Apple is not
entitled to a commission.
3.5 Upon collection of any amounts from any End-User as the price for any Licensed Application delivered to that End-User hereunder, Apple shall deduct the full amount of its commission with respect to that Licensed Application, and any taxes collected by Apple under Section 3.2 and 3.4 hereof, and shall remit to You, or issue a credit in Your favor, as the case may be, the remainder of those prices in accordance with Apple standard business practices, including the following: remittance payments (i) are made by means of wire transfer only;
(ii) are subject to minimum monthly remittance amount thresholds; (iii) require You to provide certain remittance-related information on the App Store Connect site; and (iv) subject to the foregoing requirements, will be made no later than forty-five (45) days following the close of the monthly period in which the corresponding amount was received by Apple from the End-User. No later than forty- five (45) days following the end of each monthly period, Apple will make available to You on the App Store Connect site a sales report in sufficient detail to permit You to identify the Licensed Applications sold in that monthly period and the total amount to be remitted to You by Apple. You hereby acknowledge and agree that Apple shall be entitled to a commission, in accordance with this Section 3.5 on the delivery of any Licensed Application to any End-User, even if Apple is unable to collect the price for that Licensed Application from that End-User. In the event that the purchase price received by Apple from any End-User for any Licensed Application is in a currency other than the remittance currency agreed between Apple and You, the purchase price for that Licensed Application shall be converted to the remittance currency, and the amount to be remitted by Apple to You shall be determined, in accordance with an exchange rate fixed for the Delivery Period, as reflected in Exhibit C attached hereto as updated from time to time pursuant to section 3.1 of this Schedule 2. Apple may provide a means on App Store Connect to enable You to designate a primary currency for the bank account designated by You for receiving remittances (“Designated Currency”). Apple may cause Apple's bank to convert all remittances in any remittance currency other than the Designated Currency into the Designated Currency prior to remittance to You. You agree that any resulting currency exchange differentials or fees charged by Apple's bank may be deducted from such remittances. You remain responsible for any fees (e.g., wire transfer fees) charged by Your bank or any intermediary banks between Your bank and Apple’s bank.
3.6 In the event that any price payable by any End-User for any of the Licensed Applications is subject to (i) any withholding or similar tax; or (ii) any sales, use, goods and services, value added, or other tax or levy not collected by Apple under Section 3.2 hereof; or (iii) any other tax or other government levy of whatever nature, the full amount of that tax or levy shall be solely for Your account, and shall not reduce the commission to which Apple is entitled under this Schedule 2.
3.7 In the event that any remittance made by Apple to You is subject to any withholding or similar tax, the full amount of that withholding or similar tax shall be solely for Your account, and will not reduce the commission to which Apple is entitled on that transaction. If Apple reasonably believes that such tax is due, Apple will deduct the full amount of such withholding or similar tax from the gross amount owed to You, and will pay the full amount withheld over to the competent tax authorities. Apple will apply a reduced rate of withholding tax, if any,
V117
3 December 2020
provided for in any applicable income tax treaty only if You furnish Apple with such documentation required under that income tax treaty or otherwise satisfactory to Apple, sufficient to establish Your entitlement to the benefit of that reduced rate of withholding tax. Upon Your timely request to Apple in writing, using means reasonably designated by Apple, Apple will use commercially practical efforts to report to You the amount of Apple’s payment of withholding or similar taxes to the competent tax authorities on Your behalf. You will indemnify and hold Apple harmless against any and all claims by any competent tax authority for any underpayment of any such withholding or similar taxes, and any penalties and/or interest thereon, including, but not limited to, underpayments attributable to any erroneous claim or representation by You as to Your entitlement to, or Your disqualification for, the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding tax.
3.8 You may offer auto-renewing subscriptions in select Territories using the In-App Purchase API subject to the terms of this Schedule 2, provided that:
(a) Auto-renew functionality must be on a weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, tri-monthly, semi-annual or annual basis at prices You select in the App Store Connect tool. You may offer multiple durations and service levels for Your subscription and will have the ability to associate and rank these subscription items within Subscription Groups, to enable customers to easily upgrade, downgrade, and crossgrade amongst the Subscription Group options. You understand and agree that when a subscriber upgrades or crossgrades (except for crossgrades of different durations), such service level will begin immediately and Your proceeds will be adjusted accordingly, and when a subscriber downgrades, the new service will begin at the end of the current subscription period.
(b) You clearly and conspicuously disclose to users the following information regarding Your auto-renewing subscription:
● | Title of auto-renewing subscription, which may be the same as the in-app product name |
● | Length of subscription |
● | Price of subscription, and price per unit if appropriate |
Links to Your Privacy Policy and Terms of Use must be accessible within Your Licensed Application.
(c) You must fulfill the offer during the entire subscription period, as marketed, including any Billing Grace Period You authorize, and, in the event You breach this section 3.8(c) of Schedule 2, You hereby authorize and instruct Apple to refund to the End-User the full amount, or any portion thereof in Apple’s sole discretion, of the price paid by the End-User for that subscription. Billing Grace Period refers to the period during which Developers agree to provide paid service for free to users who do not recover from a billing error. In the event that Apple refunds any such price to an End-User, You shall reimburse, or grant Apple a credit for, an amount equal to the price for that subscription. Apple will have the right to retain its commission on the sale of that subscription, notwithstanding the refund of the price to the End-User. You acknowledge that Apple may exercise its rights under section 7.3 of this Schedule 2 for repeated violations of this provision.
3.9 When You make price changes to an existing subscription item, You may elect to retain current pricing for Your existing customers by indicating Your intent in the App Store Connect tool. When You increase pricing for existing subscribers in countries that require end-user consent, they will be prompted to review and agree to the new price, otherwise the auto-renewal feature will be disabled.
3.10 To the extent You promote and offer for sale auto-renewing subscriptions, within or outside of Your Licensed Application, You must do so in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements.
3.11 Subscription services purchased within Licensed Applications must use In-App Purchase.
In addition to using the In-App Purchase API, a Licensed Application may read or play content (magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, video) that is offered outside of the Licensed Application (such as, by way of example, through Your website) provided that You do not link to or market external offers for such content within the Licensed Application. You are responsible for authentication access to content acquired outside of the Licensed Application.
3.12 If Your Licensed Application is periodical content-based (e.g. magazines and newspapers), Apple may provide You with the name, email address, and zip code associated with an End-User’s account when they purchase an auto-renewing subscription via the In-App Purchase API, provided that such user consents to the provision of data to You, and further provided that You may only use such data to promote Your own products
V117
3 December 2020
and do so in strict compliance with Your publicly posted Privacy Policy, a copy of which must be readily viewed and is consented to in Your Licensed Application. You may offer a free incentive to extend the subscription if the user agrees to send this information.
3.13 You may use Subscription Offer Codes to promote your auto-renewing subscriptions in select Territories subject to the terms of the Agreement, this Schedule 2, and the following:
(a) Subscription Offer Code means a code provided by Apple to You, pursuant to these terms, which allows an End-User to whom You provide one or more Subscription Offer Codes to download or access Your Licensed Application.
(b) Upon request by You via the App Store Connect tool, Apple shall deliver the Subscription Offer Codes electronically to You. Subscription Offer Codes will become active for use by End-Users upon delivery to You.
You may not distribute Subscription Offer Codes that are no longer active to End-Users in any Territory in which You are not permitted to sell or distribute Your Licensed Application.
You shall not export any Subscription Offer Code for use outside the Territories nor represent that You have the right or ability to do so.
Risk of loss and transfer of title for the Subscription Offer Codes pass to You upon delivery to You.
You shall comply with all applicable laws in the Territories in which You distribute Subscription Offer Codes.
(c) Apple shall not be responsible for developing or producing any materials in relation to the Subscription Offer Codes other than the Subscription Offer Codes themselves.
You shall not sell the Subscription Offer Codes or accept any form of payment, trade-in-kind, or other compensation in connection with the distribution of the Subscription Offer Codes and You shall prohibit third parties from doing so.
During the period when a Subscription Offer Code allows an End-User to access a subscription in Your Licensed Application for free, You hereby waive any right to collect any royalties, proceeds, or remuneration for such access, regardless of whether any remuneration would otherwise be payable under
the Agreement, this Schedule 2, and Schedule 1 thereto, if applicable. The parties acknowledge that, as between Apple and You, the parties’ respective responsibilities for the payment of any royalties or other similar payments to third parties with respect to End-Users accessing subscriptions in your Licensed Application via the Subscription Offer Codes shall be as set forth in the Agreement and this Schedule 2.
You shall be solely responsible for Your use of the Subscription Offer Codes, including any use by other members of Your App Store Connect team, and for any loss or liability to You or Apple therefrom.
In the event Your Licensed Application is removed from the App Store for any reason, You agree to cease distribution of all Subscription Offer Codes and that Apple may deactivate such Subscription Offer Codes.
You agree that Apple shall have the right to deactivate the Subscription Offer Codes, even if already delivered to End-Users, in the event You violate any of the terms in the Agreement or this Schedule 2.
(d) You must include the following Subscription Offer Code End-User terms in any instrument used to distribute the Subscription Offer Codes to End-Users (e.g., certificate, card, e-mail, coupons, online posts): (i) The code expiration date or while supplies last; (ii) The Territory in which the codes can be redeemed; (iii) Apple ID is required, subject to prior acceptance of license and usage terms; (iv) Codes are not for resale, and have no cash value; (v) Full terms apply; see xxxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx/xxxxxx/; and (vi) Offer and content are provided by You.
3.14 Where available, You may offer multiple Licensed Applications offered by You in a single collection (“Bundle”) to End-Users at a price tier designated by You as set forth in Exhibit C (“Bundle Price”). Furthermore, You hereby authorize and instruct Apple to enable users who have purchased some but not all Licensed Applications in a Bundle to access and download the remaining items in the Bundle (“Complete My Bundle” or “CMB”) for the CMB Price. You will receive proceeds for the CMB Price, which shall equal the Bundle Price set by You less the sum of the retail prices paid by the user for previously purchased Licensed
V117
3 December 2020
Applications. In the event the CMB Price is less than Tier 1 and greater than zero under Exhibit C, You hereby authorize and instruct Apple to set the CMB Price for that user at Tier 1. In the event the CMB Price is less than zero, You hereby authorize and instruct Apple to provide the remaining Licensed Applications in the Bundle to the End-User without charge. Each CMB transaction will be reflected in Your statement as follows: (i) a new sale of the full Bundle at the price paid for the Bundle, identified as a CMB sale; and (ii) a return (i.e. a negative transaction) for each eligible purchased Licensed Application contained in the Bundle in the amount previously paid for the Licensed Application, each identified as a CMB return. Bundles offered at Tier 0 must offer an
auto-renewing subscription service pursuant to Section 3.8 of this Schedule 2 in each Licensed Application included in the Bundle, and users who purchase such subscription service from within one app in the Bundle must be able to access that subscription service in each of the other Licensed Applications in the Bundle at no additional cost.
4. Ownership and End-User Licensing
4.1 The parties acknowledge and agree that Apple shall not acquire any ownership interest in or to any of the Licensed Applications or Licensed Application Information, and title, risk of loss, responsibility for, and control over the Licensed Applications shall, at all times, remain with You. Apple may not use any of the Licensed Applications or Licensed Application Information for any purpose, or in any manner, except as specifically authorized in the Agreement or this Schedule 2.
4.2 You may deliver to Apple Your own XXXX for any Licensed Application at the time that You deliver that Licensed Application to Apple, in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Schedule 2; provided, however, that Your XXXX must include and may not be inconsistent with the minimum terms and conditions specified on Exhibit E to this Schedule 2 and must comply with all applicable laws in all countries where You wish Apple to allow End- Users to download that Licensed Application. Apple shall enable each End-User to review Your XXXX (if any) at the time that Apple delivers that Licensed Application to that End-User, and Apple shall notify each End-User that the End-User’s use of that Licensed Application is subject to the terms and conditions of Your XXXX (if any). In the event that You do not furnish Your own XXXX for any Licensed Application to Apple, You acknowledge and agree that each End-User’s use of that Licensed Application shall be subject to Apple’s standard XXXX (which is part of the App Store Terms of Service).

(b) For sales of Custom Applications to Custom App Distribution Customers located in those countries listed in Exhibit B, Section 2 of this Schedule 3 as updated from time to time via the App Store Connect site, Apple shall be entitled to a commission equal to thirty percent (30%) of all prices payable by each Custom App Distribution Customer. Solely for auto-renewing subscription purchases made by customers who have accrued greater than one year of paid subscription service within a Subscription Group (as defined below) and notwithstanding any Retention Grace Periods, Apple shall be entitled to a commission equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all prices payable by each End-User for each subsequent renewal.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 of this Schedule 3, Apple shall be entitled to the commissions specified in Sections 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) hereof without reduction for any taxes or other government levies, including any and all taxes or other, similar obligations of You, Apple or any Custom App Distribution Customer relating to the delivery or use of the Custom Applications. For sales of Licensed Applications developed by Apple, Apple is not entitled to a commission.
3.5 Upon collection of any amounts from any Custom App Distribution Customer as the price for any Custom Application delivered to that Custom App Distribution Customer’s designated End-Users hereunder, Apple shall deduct the full amount of its commission with respect to that Custom Application, and any taxes collected by Apple under Section 3.2 and 3.4 hereof, and shall remit to You, or issue a credit in Your favor, as the case may be, the remainder of those prices in accordance with Apple standard business practices, including the following: remittance payments (i) are made by means of wire transfer only; (ii) are subject to minimum monthly remittance amount thresholds; (iii) require You to provide certain remittance-related information on the App Store Connect site; and (iv) subject to the foregoing requirements, will be made no later than forty-five (45) days following the close of the monthly period in which the corresponding amount was received by Apple from the End-User. No later than forty- five (45) days following the end of each monthly period, Apple will make available to You on the App Store Connect site a sales report in sufficient detail to permit You to identify the Custom Applications sold in that monthly period and the total amount to be remitted to You by Apple. You hereby acknowledge and agree that Apple shall be entitled to a commission, in accordance with this Section
3.5 on the delivery of any Content Codes to any Custom App Distribution Customer, even if Apple is unable to collect the price for that Custom Application from the Custom App Distribution Customer. In the event that the purchase price received by Apple from any Custom App Distribution Customer for any Custom Application is in a currency other than the remittance currency agreed between Apple and You, the purchase price for that Custom Application shall be converted to the remittance currency, and the amount to be remitted by Apple to You shall be determined, in accordance with an exchange rate fixed for the Delivery Period, as reflected in Exhibit C attached hereto as updated from time to time pursuant to section 3.1 of this Schedule 3. Apple may provide a means on App Store Connect to enable You to designate a primary currency for the bank account designated by You for receiving remittances (“Designated Currency”). Apple may cause Apple's bank to
V117
3 December 2020
convert all remittances in any remittance currency other than the Designated Currency into the Designated Currency prior to remittance to You. You agree that any resulting currency exchange differentials or fees charged by Apple's bank may be deducted from such remittances. You remain responsible for any fees (e.g., wire transfer fees) charged by Your bank or any intermediary banks between Your bank and Apple’s bank.
3.6 In the event that any price payable by any Custom App Distribution Customer for any of the Custom Applications is subject to (i) any withholding or similar tax; or (ii) any sales, use, goods and services, value added, or other tax or levy not collected by Apple under Section 3.2 hereof; or (iii) any other tax or other government levy of whatever nature, the full amount of that tax or levy shall be solely for Your account, and shall not reduce the commission to which Apple is entitled under this Schedule 3.
3.7 In the event that any remittance made by Apple to You is subject to any withholding or similar tax, the full amount of that withholding or similar tax shall be solely for Your account, and will not reduce the commission to which Apple is entitled on that transaction. If Apple reasonably believes that such tax is due, Apple will deduct the full amount of such withholding or similar tax from the gross amount owed to You, and will pay the full amount withheld over to the competent tax authorities. Apple will apply a reduced rate of withholding tax, if any, provided for in any applicable income tax treaty only if You furnish Apple with such documentation required under that income tax treaty or otherwise satisfactory to Apple, sufficient to establish Your entitlement to the benefit of that reduced rate of withholding tax. Upon Your timely request to Apple in writing, using means reasonably designated by Apple, Apple will use commercially practical efforts to report to You the amount of Apple’s payment of withholding or similar taxes to the competent tax authorities on Your behalf. You will indemnify and hold Apple harmless against any and all claims by any competent tax authority for any underpayment of any such withholding or similar taxes, and any penalties and/or interest thereon, including, but not limited to, underpayments attributable to any erroneous claim or representation by You as to Your entitlement to, or Your disqualification for, the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding tax.
3.8 You may offer auto-renewing subscriptions in select Territories using the In-App Purchase API subject to the terms of this Schedule 3, provided that:
(a) Auto-renew functionality must be on a weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, tri-monthly, semi-annual or annual basis at a price You select based on the pricing matrix attached to this Schedule 3 as Exhibit C. You may, however, offer more than one option.
(b) You clearly and conspicuously disclose to users the following information regarding Your auto-renewing subscription:
● | Title of auto-renewing subscription, which may be the same as the in-app product name |
● | Length of subscription |
● | Price of subscription, and price per unit if appropriate |
Links to Your Privacy Policy and Terms of Use must be accessible within Your Licensed Application or Custom Application.
(c) You must fulfill the offer during the entire subscription period, as marketed, including any Billing Grace period You authorize, and, in the event You breach this section 3.8(c) of Schedule 3, You hereby authorize and instruct Apple to refund to the End-User the full amount, or any portion thereof in Apple’s sole discretion, of the price paid by the End-User for that subscription. Billing Grace Period refers to the period during which Developers agree to provide paid service for free to users who do not recover from a billing error. In the event that Apple refunds any such price to an End-User, You shall reimburse, or grant Apple a credit for, an amount equal to the price for that subscription. Apple will have the right to retain its commission on the sale of that subscription, notwithstanding the refund of the price to the End-User. You acknowledge that Apple may exercise its rights under section 7.3 of this Schedule 3 for repeated violations of this provision.
3.9 When You make price changes to an existing subscription item, You may elect to retain current pricing for Your existing customers by indicating Your intent in the App Store Connect tool. When You increase pricing for existing subscribers in countries that require end-user consent, they will be prompted to review and agree to the new price, otherwise the auto-renewal feature will be disabled.
3.10 To the extent You promote and offer for sale auto-renewing subscriptions within or outside of Your Licensed Application, You must do so in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements.
V117
3 December 2020
3.11 Subscription services purchased within Custom Applications must use In-App Purchase, which will be charged to the End-User iTunes account, not the Custom App Distribution Customer account.
In addition to using the In-App Purchase API, a Custom Application may read or play content (magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, video) that is offered outside of the Custom Application (such as, by way of example, through Your website) provided that You do not link to or market external offers for such content within the Custom Application. You are responsible for authentication access to content acquired outside of the Custom Application.
3.12 If Your Custom Application is periodical content-based (e.g. magazines and newspapers), Apple may provide You with the name, email address, and zip code associated with an End-User’s account when they purchase an auto-renewing subscription via the In-App Purchase API, provided that such user consents to the provision of data to You, and further provided that You may only use such data to promote Your own products and otherwise in strict compliance with Your publicly posted Privacy Policy, a copy of which must be readily viewed through and is consented to in Your Custom Application. You may offer a free incentive to extend the subscription if the user agrees to send this information.
4. Ownership and End-User Licensing
4.1 The parties acknowledge and agree that Apple shall not acquire any ownership interest in or to any of the Custom Applications or Licensed Application Information, and title, risk of loss, responsibility for, and control over the Custom Applications shall, at all times, remain with You.

4.2 You may deliver to Apple Your own XXXX for any Custom Application at the time that You deliver that Custom Application to Apple, in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Schedule 3; provided, however, that Your XXXX must include and may not be inconsistent with the minimum terms and conditions specified on Exhibit E to this Schedule 3 and must comply with all applicable laws in the United States. Apple shall allow each End- User to which Apple allows access to any such Custom Application to review Your XXXX (if any) at the time that Apple delivers that Custom Application to that End-User, and Apple shall notify each End-User that the End-User’s use of that Custom Application is subject to the terms and conditions of Your XXXX (if any). In the event that You do not furnish Your own XXXX for any Custom Application to Apple, You acknowledge and agree that each End-User’s use of that Custom Application shall be subject to Apple’s standard XXXX (which is part of the App Store Terms of Service).
4.3 You hereby acknowledge that the XXXX for each of the Custom Applications is solely between You and the End-User and conforms to applicable law, and Apple shall not be responsible for, and shall not have any liability whatsoever under, any XXXX or any breach by You or any End-User of any of the terms and conditions of any XXXX.

process on a non-exclusive basis and without any party waiving its legal rights.
5.2 You shall use the software rating tool set forth on App Store Connect to supply information regarding each of the Custom Applications delivered by You for marketing and fulfillment by Apple through the Custom App Distribution Site under this Schedule 3 in order to assign a rating to each such Custom Application. For purposes of assigning a rating to each of the Custom Applications, You shall use Your best efforts to provide correct and complete information about the content of that Custom Application with the software rating tool. You acknowledge and agree that Apple is relying on: (i) Your good faith and diligence in accurately and completely providing requested information for each Custom Application; and (ii) Your representations and warranties in Section 5.1 hereof, in making that Custom Application available for download by End-Users in each of the countries You designated hereunder. Furthermore, You authorize Apple to correct the rating of any Custom Application of Yours that has been assigned an incorrect rating; and You agree to any such corrected rating.
5.3 In the event that any country You designated hereunder requires the approval of, or rating of, any Custom Application by any government or industry regulatory agency as a condition for the distribution, sale and/or use of that Custom Application, You acknowledge and agree that Apple may elect not to make that Custom Application available for purchase by Custom App Distribution Customers and/or download by End- Users in that country from the Custom App Distribution Site.
5.4 Custom Applications that are targeted at children or otherwise likely to appeal to children, and which pressure children to make purchases (including, but not limited to, phrases such as “buy now” or “upgrade now”) or persuade others to make purchases for them, should not be made available in any Territory that has deemed such marketing practices illegal. You expressly accept and agree to take full responsibility for Your Custom Applications’ compliance with applicable laws pursuant to Section 5.1(c) of this Schedule 3, including without limitation consumer protection, marketing, and gaming laws. For more information on legal requirements of countries in the European Union, see xxxx://xx.xxxxxx.xx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxx- trade/index_en.htm
6. Responsibility and Liability

6.3 In the event that Apple receives any notice or claim from any End-User that: (i) the End-User wishes to cancel its license to any of the Custom Applications within ninety (90) days of the date of download of that Custom Application by that End-User or the end of the auto-renewing subscription period offered pursuant to section 3.8 if such period is less than ninety (90) days; or (ii) a Custom Application fails to conform to Your specifications or Your product warranty or the requirements of any applicable law, Apple may refund to the Custom App Distribution Customer and/or End-User, as applicable, the full amount of the price paid by the Custom App Distribution Customer or End-User for that Custom Application. In the event that Apple refunds any such price to an End-User, You shall reimburse, or grant Apple a credit for, an amount equal to the price for that Custom Application. In the event that Apple receives any notice or claim from a payment provider that an End-User has obtained a refund for a Licensed Application, You shall reimburse, or grant Apple a credit for, an amount equal to the price for that Licensed Application. In such cases, Apple will have the right to retain its commission on the sale of that Custom Application, notwithstanding the refund of the price to the Custom App Distribution Customer or End-User.
7. Termination
7.1 This Schedule 3, and all of Apple’s obligations hereunder, shall terminate upon the expiration or
V117
3 December 2020
termination of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any such termination, Apple shall be entitled to: (i) all commissions on all Content Codes redeemable for copies of the Custom Applications provided to Custom App Distribution Customers prior to the date of termination (including the phase-out period set forth in Section 1.4 hereof); and (ii) reimbursement from You of refunds paid by Apple to Custom App Distribution Customers and/or End-Users, whether before or after the date of termination, in accordance with Section 6.3 of this Schedule 3.

7.3 Apple reserves the right to cease marketing, offering, and allowing purchase by Custom App Distribution Customers and download by End-Users of the Custom Applications at any time, with or without cause, by providing notice of termination to You. Without limiting the generality of this Section 7.3, You acknowledge that Apple may cease the marketing and allowing download by End-Users of some or all of the Custom Applications if Apple reasonably believes that: (i) those Custom Applications are not authorized for export to one or more of the countries listed on Exhibit A, in accordance with the Export Administration Regulations; (ii) those Custom Applications and/or any End-User’s possession and/or use of those Custom Applications, infringe patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights of any third party; (iii) the distribution, sale and/or use of those Custom Applications violates any applicable law in any country You designated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Schedule 3; (iv) You have violated the terms of the Agreement, this Schedule 3, or other documentation including without limitation the App Review Guidelines; or (v) Your Custom Applications violate Section 5.4 of this Schedule 3, including without limitation upon notice by a regulator of an alleged violation. An election by Apple to cease the marketing and allowing download of any Custom Applications, pursuant to this Section 7.3, shall not relieve You of Your obligations under this Schedule 3.
7.4 You may withdraw any or all of the Custom Applications from the Custom App Distribution Site, at any time, and for any reason, by using the tools provided on the App Store Connect site, except that, with respect to Your End-Users, You hereby authorize and instruct Apple to fulfill any outstanding Content Code redemption requests by End-Users and to fulfill sections 1.2(b), (c), and (d) of this Schedule 3, which shall survive termination or expiration of the Agreement unless You indicate otherwise pursuant to sections 5.1 and 7.2 of this Schedule 3.
