苹果App Store提交app审核时EULA(终端用户软件使用条款)的注意事项等政策解读

写在前面，今天是2014年10月14日，以下内容可能会随着时间的推进而失效，请注意时效性

当在App Store提交app审核的时候，苹果通常会要求开发者提供一个EULA，苹果默认提供了一个，地址： http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula/

但是，当用户自己准备一个终端用户使用条款的时候，应该怎么写呢？

复制，黏贴？错了，不要随便复制黏贴别人的内容，第一，别人的内容不适用于你的场景业务，第二，可能会因为自定义的EULA被苹果拒。

那么，问题来了，如何提供一个在App Store销售的软件的许可协议呢？

其实苹果为这个问题提供了解释和规定，但是大多数开发者并没有在意，网址 http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/appstore/dev/minterms/

以下内容是我用自动翻译的软件翻译的中英文对照版本（稍微手动修正了部分翻译，凑合看吧）

Instructions for Minimum Terms of Developer’s

指导开发人员的最低条件

End-User License Agreement

终端用户许可协议

1. Acknowledgement: You and the end-user must acknowledge that the EULA is concluded between You and the end-user only, and not with Apple, and You, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Licensed Application and the content thereof. The EULA may not provide for usage rules for Licensed Applications that are less restrictive than the Usage Rules set forth for Licensed Applications in, or otherwise be in conflict with, the App Store Terms of Service as of the Effective Date (which You acknowledge You have had the opportunity to review).

1。确认:你和终端用户必须承认EULA只作用于你和终端用户之间,而不是和苹果。而你,不是苹果,完全负责授权的应用程序和内容。EULA不得提供使用许可规则应用程序低于使用规则的限制提出许可申请,或在冲突,应用商店的服务条款的生效日期(你承认你有机会审查)。

2. Scope of License: The license granted to the end-user for the Licensed Application must be limited to a non-transferable license to use the Licensed Application on any iPhone or iPod touch that the end-user owns or controls and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service.
