The Agreement is a contract with Apple covering its media and app services
These terms create a contract between you and Apple. The Agreement governs your use of Apple's services through which you can buy, get, license, rent or subscribe to content, apps and other in-app services, all of which it calls "Content". Content may be offered by Apple or by a third party. Examples of covered Services, where available, include the App Store, Subscriptions, Apple Arcade, Apple Books, Apple Fitness+, Apple Games, Game Center, Apple Music, Apple News, Apple One, Apple Podcasts, Apple Sports, Apple TV, iTunes and Shazam. "Apps" is defined broadly to include App Clips and any in-app purchases, extensions (such as keyboards), stickers and Subscriptions offered inside apps. Which Apple company is the "Apple" you contract with depends on your Home Country (Apple Inc. for users in the United States, including Puerto Rico, per Section T).

No oral or written information or advice from the licensor creates a warranty. If the App or services prove defective, you bear the entire cost of servicing, repair or correction.

App licensors exclude injury and indirect damages and cap total liability at $250, where the law allows
To the extent not prohibited by law, the licensor is not liable for personal injury or for any incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages, such as lost profits, corrupted or lost data, failure to send or receive data, or business interruption, arising from your use of or inability to use the Licensed Application, however caused and even if warned. The licensor's total liability to you for all damages is capped at $250, other than as applicable law may require in personal injury cases. The limits apply even if the stated remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow excluding liability for personal injury or for incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
Supporting quotations
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER
In no event shall Licensor’s total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00).
The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Qualifications & exceptions
The $250 cap applies to the licensor of a Licensed Application, not to the Services generally.
Personal-injury liability required by law is carved out of the cap.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): Apple excludes liability for any damages from your use of the Services, limited only where the law forbids it — contrast: Two liability limits with different scopes pull in different directions: the Standard EULA caps a Licensed Application licensor's total liability at $250 (with a personal-injury carve-out), while the Services clause excludes Apple's liability for all damages, including direct damages, limited only where law forbids. Which applies depends on whether the claim concerns a Licensed Application or the Services.

In such case, Apple acts as an agent for the Content provider in providing the Content to you, and therefore Apple is not a party to the Transaction between you and the Content provider.

If you are a qualified public educational or government institution and any part of this Agreement, such as, by way of example, all or part of the indemnification section, is invalid or unenforceable against you because of applicable local, national, state or federal law, then that portion shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable, as the case may be, and instead construed in a manner most consistent with applicable governing law.
California law and Santa Clara courts govern the Agreement and all Transactions, except for some non-U.S. citizens
Except as the next paragraph provides or as applicable law requires, the Agreement, your relationship with Apple and all Transactions on the Services are governed by California law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, and you and Apple submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Santa Clara County, California. If you are not a U.S. citizen, do not live in the U.S., are not accessing the Service from the U.S., and are a citizen of a listed country, the law named below governs instead, with non-exclusive jurisdiction of that place's courts. The only listed group is citizens of any EU country or the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway or Iceland, for whom the governing law and forum are those of their usual place of residence. The UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
