You certify to Apple and agree that You or Your representative or agent entering into these Terms
of Service is of the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction(s) in which You reside (at least 18 years
of age in many countries) and have the right and authority to enter into these Terms of Service
on Your own behalf, and that if Your representative or agent is entering into these Terms of Service
on behalf of You as a company, organization, educational institution, or agency, instrumentality,
or department of the government, that such representative or agent has the right and authority
to legally bind You to all the terms and obligations of these Terms of Service.

You agree to accept and abide by these Terms of Service as presented; changes, additions, or
deletions are not agreed to by Apple, and Apple may deny access to the Services for
noncompliance with any part of these Terms of Service or for any other reason at Apple’s sole
discretion.

In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, You
and Apple (collectively, the “Parties”) agree as follows:
1. Access. Access to the Services is made available, at Apple’s sole discretion, only to a Content
Provider that has one or more valid agreements with Apple or Apple affiliates relating to a Content
Provider whose materials are offered on Apple software applications (e.g., App Store) or other
persons or entities as determined by Apple in its sole discretion.

2. System Requirements. Use of the Services requires compatible hardware, internet and/or
mobile access, certain software, and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to
time. Fees may apply to Content Provider’s system requirements. Because use of the Services
involves hardware, software, and internet and/or mobile access, Your ability to use the Services
may be affected by the performance of these factors. High-speed internet and/or mobile access
is strongly recommended. You acknowledge and agree that such system requirements, which may
be changed from time to time, are Your responsibility. You further acknowledge and agree that
the Services constitute commercial services for commercial use.

3. Other Agreements. Any other agreements in effect between Apple and You (collectively, the
“Other Agreements”) are separate from these Terms of Service. Except as otherwise specified in
writing herein or in the Other Agreements, these Terms of Service will in no event be deemed to
be the terms of the Other Agreements and vice versa. No breach of these Terms of Service will
constitute a breach of the Other Agreements and vice versa. You acknowledge and agree that the
performance of Your obligations under these Terms of Service shall not be conditioned on Apple
entering into any further agreements or providing any additional representations or warranties
relating to the Services.

4. Your Information. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information required
to register with Apple for the Services and at other points as may be required in the course of
using the Services (“Business User Data”), including, but not limited to, company name, physical
address, corporate payment information, relevant tax information (including any tax registration
number or certificate, etc.), or other information as requested. You acknowledge and agree that
Your use of the Services will require Apple to send email communications to You at the email
address that You provide upon registration. You agree that Apple may send to You, whether by
email or otherwise, communications, including but not limited to notifications and invoices (or
other materials relating billing), in the English language. You hereby confirm Your ability to read
and comprehend communications in the English language or Your practicable ability to have
communications in the English language translated to a language of Your preference or as
mandated by the jurisdiction(s) to which You are subject, at no cost to Apple. You hereby confirm
that any Business User Data You already have provided to Apple (including, without limitation, in
the App Store application process or through prior use of Search Ads) has been accurate, current
and complete. You further agree to maintain and update Your Business User Data as required to
keep it accurate, current, and complete. You understand and acknowledge that failure to provide,
update, and maintain accurate, current, and complete information pursuant to these Terms of
Service may lead to suspension or termination of Your access to or use of the Services at any time.

use the Services (“Account”). You are solely responsible for Your Account, including maintaining
the confidentiality and security of Your Account. You may not reveal Your Account information to
anyone else, allow anyone to use Your Account, or use anyone else’s Account without
authorization. You are entirely responsible for all activities that occur on or through Your Account,
and You agree to immediately notify Apple of any unauthorized use of Your Account or any other
breach of security. Apple shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized
or other improper use of Your Account by You.

6. Advertising Services.

manage and pay Apple for advertising campaigns (“Campaigns”) in which Apple will deliver
advertising content (“Ad Content”) to users of Apple software applications and Apple devices (the
“Properties”).

b. Targeting. You understand and agree that Ad Content may be delivered to all Properties
authorized by Apple to display Ad Content, subject to Your selection, if applicable, of (I) ad
creative, (II) ad trafficking and/or targeting decisions (e.g., keywords, bids, segments), (III)
Properties, (IV) properties to which the Ad Content may direct viewers (e.g., app downloads, URLs,
landing pages), and (V) the related URLs and redirects and the services and products advertised
on such URLs and redirects (collectively, “Targeting”). Apple and its affiliates may make available
to You certain optional features related to Targeting, such as suggestions or recommendations
relating to keywords or auction bids, intended to assist You with the selection and generation of
Targeting. You understand and agree that You are not required to implement, use, authorize use
of, or rely upon these optional Targeting features and, as applicable, may opt-in or opt-out of
usage of these features. You further understand and agree that if You decide to implement, use,
authorize use of, or rely upon any Targeting, including any optional Targeting features, then You
will remain solely responsible for that Targeting. Apple shall not bear any responsibility or liability
for Your Targeting or Your decisions relating to Targeting. You represent and warrant that You
shall implement all Targeting in compliance with all applicable legal requirements. Targeting
services and features are provided and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at Apple’s sole
discretion. Subject to the foregoing, You authorize Apple to implement all Targeting deliveries
and features You select or use.

further acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for the security and confidentiality

permissions and consents (as needed) to use and provide Your Advertiser Data, You undertake
that You will only use the Advertiser Data via the Services where you have lawful, permitted
purposes, and You will remove the Advertiser Data from all Apple properties used by You in

Services.

e. Right to Reject Ad Content. Apple reserves the right to: (I) reject or cancel any Ad Content,
Campaign or Targeting at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to belief by Apple
that placement of Ad Content may subject Apple to criminal or civil liability, may contravene the
Terms of Service, may contravene Apple’s policies, or may be adverse to Apple’s business interests;
and (II) reasonably mark or designate the Ad Content as advertising or promotional material
consistent with applicable laws, regulations, or industry practices. You also understand and agree
that some Ad Content, Content Providers or materials owned by the Content Provider, or
advertiser products and/or services may not be eligible for promotion using the Services. The fact
that Apple has not rejected any Ad Content shall not in any way waive, reduce, limit, or otherwise
affect Your responsibilities and obligations under these Terms of Service.

f. Limited License to Ad Content. You hereby grant to Apple a non-exclusive, royalty-free,


worldwide, fully paid license to store, use, reproduce, and display the Ad Content (which shall be
deemed to include all content, including text, audio, video, images, deliverables, digital files, web

Terms of Service; (II) Your acts and practices in accessing or using the Services shall comply with

knowingly breach or circumvent any program security measure; (X) Your Ad Content shall fully
comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction in which it is

promotional purposes in Apple marketing materials. Apple must approve in writing any press
release or announcement that refers or relates to these Terms of Service, the Ad Content, or Your
relationship with Apple.

j. Apple Marks. You shall not use Apple’s trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, or other
commercial or product designations for any purpose without first obtaining Apple’s prior written
consent. All other rights in relation to the trademarks (including statutory rights) are expressly

You agree that You will not track any individual user in connection with the Services.
m. Compliance with Specifications, Content Guidelines and Policy Guidelines. You agree to
comply with the specifications provided by Apple in connection with the Services, including,
without limitation, technical specifications and policy and content guidelines, which are accessible
at searchads.apple.com/policies (each as may be amended from time to time by Apple) and which
You agree to visit and review regularly. You are solely responsible for the proper content, format,
functioning, and keeping up-to-date Ad Content submitted by You or otherwise used in
connection with the Services. You acknowledge that changes made to Your App Store submission
(e.g., price, description, etc.) may impact your Ad Content and that such changes in the App Store
can take up to sixteen (16) hours to be reflected in Search Ads. You are responsible for all costs
and expenses incurred in connection with development and certification of Your Ad Content.

relationship between You and Apple. No employment relationship, partnership, or joint venture
is created by these Terms of Service, and neither Apple nor You shall hold itself out as the agent
of the other, except as set forth in these Terms of Service.

o. Confidentiality. You agree that the details of Your business relationship with Apple, Apple’s
provision of, and the results from the use of, the Services, and all discussions related thereto will
be considered confidential information (“Confidential Information”). In addition, any nonpublic
information which one party (“Discloser”) discloses to the other party (“Recipient”) in the course
of their communications solely regarding the Services set forth in these Terms of Service will be
considered Confidential Information, including, without limitation, Apple intellectual property,
including code, tools, and technology used in connection with the Services, the Properties and the
Services (the “Apple IP”), Reporting Metrics, nonpublic product plans, marketing plans, whether
such information is clearly designated as “Confidential” in writing, or at the time of disclosure, if
disclosed orally or visually, a reasonable person would understand the information to be
confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include
information that: (I) is now or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no
fault or breach on the part of the Recipient; (II) Recipient can demonstrate to have had rightfully
in its possession prior to disclosure to Recipient by Discloser; (III) is independently developed by
Recipient without use of any Confidential Information; and (IV) Recipient rightfully obtains from a
third party who has the right to transfer or disclose it to Recipient without limitation. In addition,
Confidential Information shall not include any free and open source software (“FOSS”) included in
the Services and accompanied by licensing terms that do not impose confidentiality obligations
on the use or disclosure of such FOSS. Nothing in these Terms of Service will obligate either party
to disclose any Confidential Information.

p. Obligations Regarding Confidential Information. Recipient agrees to protect Discloser’s


Confidential Information, using at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own
confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, but no less than a reasonable
degree of care. Recipient agrees to use Discloser’s Confidential Information for the sole purpose
of fulfilling its obligations under these Terms of Service and under no circumstances for its own
or any third party’s benefit. Recipient will not disclose, publish or disseminate Confidential
Information to anyone other than those employees and consultants who have a need to know in
order to accomplish such purpose and who are bound by these Terms of Service, which prohibits
unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information. Recipient will be responsible for any
violation of the terms of this section by its employees or consultants. Recipient may disclose
Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided Recipient makes reasonable
efforts to give Discloser notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and takes reasonable
steps to obtain protective treatment of the Confidential Information.

q. Ownership. Unless otherwise specified herein, Content Provider retains all right, title and
interest, including all intellectual property rights, in any Ad Content submitted by You, provided
that the Ad Content does not incorporate any Apple Confidential Information or Apple IP. Apple
retains all right, title and interest in: (I) the Apple IP; and (II) all analyses, reports, data, and other
information developed by Apple relating to use of the Services, whether or not disclosed to
Content Providers.

r. Personal Data Privacy and Security.

To the extent any feature or functionality of the Services allows You to collect personally
identifiable information (“Personal Data”), You acknowledge and agree that:

i. You may collect Personal Data only if (A) You notify users of the entity on whose behalf
the Personal Data is collected (the “Responsible Party”), (B) You obtain a user’s consent to
the collection, use, disclosure, transfer and processing of Personal Data in compliance with
the method (if any) required under applicable privacy or data protection laws before such
Personal Data is collected and such collection complies with applicable privacy or data
protection laws, (C) You have bound the Responsible Party to these Terms of Service, (D)
the Responsible Party maintains a lawful, publicly posted privacy policy, and (E) such
privacy policy is accessible from the point of collection of the Personal Data in the Ad
Content. Personal Data is the property of the Responsible Party, and is considered
Confidential Information.

ii. Responsible Party shall maintain reasonable operating standards and security procedures,
and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure Personal Data and ensure that it
is protected against: (A) loss; (B) unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure; and
(C) other misuse. Responsible Party shall at all times comply with all applicable laws,
regulations, and international accords and treaties, including, without limitation, all
applicable privacy and data collection laws and regulations with respect to any collection,
use, and/or transmission of Personal Data. Failure by Responsible Party to continue to post
a privacy policy, non-adherence to its own privacy policy, or any other violation of this
section is grounds for immediate cancellation of the Campaign by Apple. Responsible
Party shall provide reasonable assistance and support to Apple in the event of an
investigation by Apple or a data protection regulator or similar authority relating to the
collection, maintenance, use, processing, or transfer of Personal Data under these Terms
of Service. In the event that Responsible Party is unable to comply with the obligations
stated in this section, You or Responsible Party shall promptly notify Apple, and Apple may
suspend the transfer of Personal Data to Responsible Party or require Responsible Party
to cease processing Personal Data.

7. Payment for Services.

a. As consideration for the Services, You agree to pay Apple, and agree that Apple may charge
Your payment method, for the fees for any Campaign that You purchase or implement as set forth
in the Services, net of any discounts or promotions offered to You by Apple, and any additional
amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection
with the Services or Your Account. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for
providing Apple with a valid payment method for all fees. You agree that Apple may charge Your
payment method at any time after any portion of the Services are actually delivered; provided that
if Apple elects to offer or extends You credit, Apple will invoice You based on actual delivery
during the applicable invoice period, with payment due net 45 days from the invoice date. Late
payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or the highest rate
permitted by law, whichever is less. Non-late payments shall not bear interest.

b. All payment and reporting related to the Services will be denominated in the currency that
You select within the applicable Services platform (e.g., Your Search Ads account webpage).
However, Apple will support only one currency per Search Ads account regardless of the location
where such Services are provided. You acknowledge and agree that Apple may not be able to
make available for invoicing or payment a currency that You prefer or use in the ordinary course
of Your business, or a currency that is available in or mandated by the jurisdiction in which You
reside or are located or to which You are subject. You expressly agree to and confirm Your ability
to transact lawfully with Apple under these Terms of Service pursuant to Your applicable
jurisdiction’s requirements and restrictions relating to currencies and payments, including those

have certain hardware and software, which are Your sole responsibility.

of the Services provided by Apple to You under these Terms of Service, including, without
limitation, sales tax, use tax, value added tax (“VAT”), goods and services tax (“GST”), and
consumption tax. Apple shall determine, collect, and remit such applicable taxes to the competent
tax authorities, and You agree to pay such taxes as invoiced by Apple. In the event that any tax
authority imposes any tax compliance responsibility on You including, without limitation, reverse
charge accounting, self accounting, and reporting, You shall take full responsibility for such
compliance obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to any requests or
requirements communicated by Apple from time to time:

i. In the event that any amount payable by You to Apple under these Terms of Service is
subject to any applicable withholding or similar taxes imposed by any tax authority
(“Withholding Tax”) and that You are required to collect and remit such Withholding Tax,
You agree that the full amount of such tax shall be solely for Your account and shall not
reduce the amount payable to Apple. You shall gross up the relevant payment, so that
after You deduct and remit the applicable Withholding Tax, You shall pay and Apple shall
receive the same amount as originally invoiced. You shall bear full responsibility for such
compliance obligations.

ii. If You are a resident of Australia, it is a condition of these Terms of Service and You
represent that You have a valid Australian Business Number (“ABN”) and are registered for

for GST.

that You are registered for GST in India and the Services being procured are directly
relating to and effectively connected with the business for which Your GST registration is

doubt, where the Services are provided to You by iTunes K.K., iTunes K.K. shall invoice You
any applicable Japanese consumption tax on the Services and You agree to pay such
Japanese consumption tax.

that You are an Enterprise Customer and have a valid VAT ID (i.e., Taiwan Unified Business
Number). You will provide Apple with satisfactory evidence of VAT ID. You warrant that
You will notify Apple if You cease to hold a valid VAT ID or cease to be considered an
Enterprise Customer.

request by Apple, You will promptly provide Apple with satisfactory evidence of NIT. You
represent and warrant that You will immediately notify Apple if You cease to hold a valid
NIT or cease to be registered for Colombian VAT. You shall be fully responsible for
submitting any applicable Colombian VAT and other related VAT formal duties.

request by Apple, the relevant certificate or other evidence for such Korean Tax ID; and (3)
You will immediately notify Apple if You cease to hold a valid Korean Tax ID.

x. If You are a resident of Turkey, any withholding taxes or other taxes (including but not
limited to tax withheld or levied on advertising services per Presidential Decree numbered
476) shall be on Your Account, and shall not reduce the amount payable to Apple under
these Terms of Service. If Apple is required by relevant tax authorities to pay any such
unpaid tax amounts, You shall promptly reimburse Apple the applicable taxes, interest,
penalty, and also the cost of litigation as the case may be, upon Apple’s request.

f. You agree to notify Apple via email of any invoice dispute within thirty (30) days from the date
of receipt of the invoice (the “Invoice Dispute Period”). Invoice disputes shall be emailed to
searchads-billing-inquiries@group.apple.com and shall include detailed reason(s) for the dispute.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims relating to the Services and fees unless
claimed or asserted within the Invoice Dispute Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to
dispute an invoice within the Invoice Dispute Period, you acknowledge that the invoice will be
considered payable in full and “as is.” In the event that you contract with a third party to process
invoices on Your behalf, you will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such third party
the requisite information and/or authorization to facilitate timely payment to Apple. Furthermore,
you agree that your obligation to make timely payments and/or to notify Apple of invoice disputes
in a timely manner will neither be lessened nor excused due to the actions of such third party.

g. To the fullest extent permitted by law, You waive all claims relating to the Services and fees
unless claimed or asserted within sixty (60) days after the completion of the Campaign associated
with such Services or fees.

h. You acknowledge and agree that fees are based solely on the Reporting Metrics associated
with a Campaign. To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds (if any) are at Apple’s sole
discretion, and only in accordance with Section 9(g) of these Terms of Service.

i. At Apple’s option and discretion, Apple may elect to offer or may extend to You credit relating
to the Services subject to the following terms and conditions:

i. Payment terms for all amounts due to Apple will be due forty five (45) days from the date
of Apple’s invoice, except as may otherwise be required by Apple in writing. Overdue
amounts will be subject to an additional interest charge computed daily for each day that
the payment is late at an interest rate of one percent (1%) per month or the highest rate
permitted by law, whichever is less. If payment is required to be made on a basis other
than forty five (45) days from the date of Apple's invoice, then such modified terms will
become the ordinary course of business and dealing between You and Apple.

ii. The line of credit will limit the aggregate amount of credit that may be extended at any
time to You under these Terms of Service, any other agreement between You and Apple,
or for any other sales or extensions of credit of any kind by Apple to You.

iii. Apple may extend, revise, or revoke credit to You at Apple’s discretion for any reason at
any time, with or without notice to you. In addition to any other remedies set forth in these
Terms of Service, Apple may, without notice, take remedial action, including but not limited
to suspending or terminating Your Campaign(s) and/or Your Account(s) whenever the
outstanding balance owed by You to Apple exceeds the line of credit.

iv. As a condition for receiving or continuing to receive credit, You may be required to submit
a credit application provided by Apple and provide to Apple: (1) financial information,
statements, and reports, such as balance sheets, cash flow and profit and loss statements,
as well as auditors' report and notes to financials, if available, and any other such
information or material that is routinely provided to any other vendor, lender, or creditor
to support extensions of credit; and (2) such other financial information as may be
reasonably requested by Apple. You further acknowledge and agree that in considering
You for an extension or continuation of credit, Apple may review Your creditworthiness,
including through third party services.

j. Invoices shall be based on actual delivery during a calendar month billing cycle and the

k. In the event that You fail to make timely payment or otherwise breach these Terms of Service
or any warranties set forth herein, You will be responsible for all expenses (including attorneys’

any payment method information to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or a
third party, as Apple believes is reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce and/or verify
compliance with any part of these Terms of Service (including, without limitation, Apple’s right to
cooperate with any legal process relating to Your use of the Services and/or a third-party claim
that Your use of the Services is unlawful and/or infringes such third party’s rights).

have access to the email address or the mailing address listed in Your Account contact
information. Apple’s notices by posting a notification on the relevant Services platform shall

modify or amend these Terms of Service at any time. Upon such modification, the modified Terms
of Service shall be available at https://searchads.apple.com/terms-of-service, or at another
accessible location as notified by Apple, and shall become effective upon notice to You in
accordance with Section 11 above, or at a later time as specified in such notice. You agree to
regularly visit https://searchads.apple.com/terms-of-service, or another accessible location as
notified by Apple, and to review the Terms of Service, including for any modifications, which may
be indicated by updates to the Effective Date stated at the top of the Terms of Service. You
acknowledge and agree that regularly reviewing these Terms of Service for modifications is Your
responsibility. If You do not agree to any modification to the Terms of Service, You shall
immediately stop all access to and use of the Services. Your continued use of the Services after
any modification to the Terms of Service shall be deemed as Your acceptance of the Terms of
Service as modified.

13. Termination. Either Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate these Terms of Service at any
time upon notice without cause; provided, however, that any continued use of the Services by
Content Provider after such notice of termination will be subject to the then-current Terms of
Service. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, except as expressly otherwise
provided in these Terms of Service: (a) all rights, licenses, consents, and authorizations granted by
either Party to the other hereunder will immediately terminate; (b) You will cease all use of the
Services; and (c) all fees owed to Apple under these Terms of Service will become immediately
due and payable. The rights and obligations set forth in Section 6(o), Section 6(p), Section 6(r),
Section 7(a), Section 7(g), and Sections 8 through 15 will survive the expiration or termination of
these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Service, Apple
may, in its sole discretion, directly or indirectly, immediately and without advance notice suspend,
terminate, or otherwise deny Your access to or use of all or any part of the Services. This Section
13 does not limit any of Apple’s other rights or remedies, whether at law, in equity, or under these
Terms of Service.

conflicts of law rules, govern these Terms of Service and Your use of the Services, and that the
exclusive jurisdiction for any proceeding relating in any way to Your use of the Services will be the
Northern District of California. You hereby waive the right to object to the foregoing choice of
law, personal jurisdiction, or venue.

15. Miscellaneous. These Terms of Service, including all Attachments thereto, constitute the entire
agreement between You and Apple and govern Your use of the Services, superseding all prior
agreements between You and Apple. You may not assign these Terms of Service, including,
without limitation, by operation of law or merger, without Apple’s prior written approval, and any
attempt to assign these Terms of Service without such prior written approval is void. If any part of
these Terms of Service is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner
consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties,
and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. Apple’s failure to enforce any right
or provisions in these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such provision, or any other
provision of these Terms of Service. Apple will not be responsible for failures to fulfill any
obligations due to causes beyond its control.
