Non-Arcade App Store apps are licensed by Apple or the developer under the Standard EULA unless a custom one applies
Section O covers the App Store, excluding Apple Arcade Apps. App licenses come from Apple or from a third-party developer (the "App Provider"). Apple acts as the App Providers' agent in running the App Store and is not a party to the sales contract or user agreement between you and an App Provider; for customers of Apple Distribution International Ltd. or Apple Services Pte. Ltd., that entity is the merchant of record, though the App is still licensed by the App Provider. An App licensed by Apple is an "Apple App"; one licensed by an App Provider is a "Third Party App". Any App you acquire is governed by the Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Standard EULA") in this Agreement, unless Apple or the App Provider supplies an overriding custom license agreement ("Custom EULA"). Some Apps, such as stickers and iMessage apps, may not appear on the home screen but can be used from the Messages app drawer.

O. ADDITIONAL APP STORE TERMS (EXCLUDING APPLE ARCADE APPS)
LICENSE OF APP STORE CONTENT
App licenses are provided to you by Apple or a third party developer (“App Provider”).
Apple acts as an agent for App Providers in operating the App Store and is not a party to the sales contract or user agreement between you and the App Provider.
However, if you are a customer of Apple Distribution International Ltd. or Apple Services Pte. Ltd., then the merchant of record is that entity, which means that you acquire the App license from Apple Distribution International Ltd. or Apple Services Pte. Ltd., as applicable, but the App is licensed by the App Provider.
An App licensed by Apple is an “Apple App;” an App licensed by an App Provider is a “Third Party App.”
Any App that you acquire is governed by the Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Standard EULA”) set forth below, unless Apple or the App Provider provides an overriding custom license agreement (“Custom EULA”).
Certain Apps, such as stickers and iMessage apps, may not appear on the device springboard but can be accessed and used in the Messages app drawer.
The term “Apps” includes apps and App Clips for any Apple platform and/or operating system, including any in-app purchases, extensions (such as keyboards), stickers, and Subscriptions made available in such apps or App Clips.
Qualifications & exceptions
Section O's body heading excludes Apple Arcade Apps; the table of contents lists the section without that exclusion.
A Custom EULA, when provided, replaces the Standard EULA for that App.
Not stated here
Custom EULAs are not supplied; their terms are not analyzed here.

Apps are licensed, not sold, and each license depends on accepting the Standard or a Custom EULA
Apps from the App Store are licensed to you, not sold. Your license to each App depends on your prior acceptance of either the Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Standard EULA") or a custom agreement between you and the App Provider ("Custom EULA"), if one is provided. Apple grants the license for Apple Apps; the App Provider grants it for Third Party Apps. Any App under the Standard EULA is a "Licensed Application", and its licensor (Apple or the App Provider) keeps all rights not expressly granted to you.

Your license to each App is subject to your prior acceptance of either this Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Standard EULA”), or a custom end user license agreement between you and the App Provider (“Custom EULA”), if one is provided.
Your license to any Apple App under this Standard EULA or Custom EULA is granted by Apple, and your license to any Third Party App under this Standard EULA or Custom EULA is granted by the App Provider of that Third Party App.

Except as the Usage Rules allow, you may not distribute the App or make it available over a network where multiple devices could use it at once. You may not transfer, redistribute or sublicense it except as this Agreement expressly permits, and if you sell your Apple device you must remove the App first.
