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).

The service list is a set of examples available "where available", not an exhaustive or guaranteed list.
Content may come from Apple or a third party; separate sections say when a third party, not Apple, is the seller.
Account & Service Control · Context
Your Home Country is the country or territory where you created your account, and Services are offered for use there
The Services are available for your use in your country or territory of residence, which the Agreement calls your "Home Country". By creating an account for the Services in a particular country or territory, you specify it as your Home Country. The Home Country later decides which Apple entity you contract with, which terms apply to you, and which Content and Services you can use.

Charges & Financial Obligations · Context
Every free or paid acquisition is a Transaction and a contract with Apple and/or the Content provider
Content you acquire on the Services, whether free or paid, is a "Transaction". Each Transaction is an electronic contract between you and Apple, and/or between you and the entity providing the Content. If you are a customer of Apple Distribution International Ltd. or Apple Services Pte. Ltd., that entity is the merchant of record for some Content from Apple Books, Apple Podcasts or the App Store, as shown on the product page or during acquisition; you acquire that Content from that entity, but it is licensed by the Content provider. For App Store apps, Apple acts as an agent for App Providers and is not a party to the sales contract or user agreement between you and the App Provider. A Service membership bought from a reseller, such as a wireless carrier, is different: the reseller is the merchant of record, the purchase is governed by the reseller's terms rather than this Agreement, and billing disputes go to the reseller.
Supporting quotations
You can acquire Content on our Services for free or for a charge, either of which is referred to as a “Transaction.”
Each Transaction is an electronic contract between you and Apple, and/or you and the entity providing the Content on our Services.
However, if you are a customer of Apple Distribution International Ltd. or Apple Services Pte. Ltd., then that entity is the merchant of record for some Content you acquire from Apple Books, Apple Podcasts, or App Store as displayed on the product page and/or during the acquisition process for the relevant Service.
In such case, you acquire the Content from Apple Distribution International Ltd. or Apple Services Pte. Ltd., as applicable, which is licensed by the Content provider (e.g., App Provider (as defined below), book publisher, etc.).
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.
If you purchase a Reseller Membership, your reseller is the merchant of record, which means that you acquire the Service license from that reseller, which will bill you for the cost of your Service membership, but the Service is licensed and provided by Apple.
Your purchase relationship with the reseller is governed by the reseller’s terms and conditions, not this Agreement, and any billing disputes related to a Reseller Membership must be directed to the reseller, not Apple.
Qualifications & exceptions
Which party you contract with depends on the Content, your Home Country's Apple entity and how you bought it; the product page or acquisition flow shows the merchant for the listed services.
Reseller Membership billing disputes go to the reseller, not Apple.

All Transactions are final; for delivery problems Apple chooses between replacement and refund
All Transactions are final, and Content prices may change at any time. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of Content, your exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement of the Content or a refund of the price paid, and Apple decides which. Apple may from time to time suspend or cancel payment, or refuse a refund request, if it finds evidence of fraud, abuse, or unlawful or other manipulative behavior that entitles Apple to a corresponding counterclaim. For Subscriptions that commit you to a set number of billing periods, any such refund covers only access already paid for but not yet provided, and no refund is due for future monthly periods not yet charged.

Commitment Subscriptions: paid per period, no financing charges, refunds only for paid-but-unprovided access
Some Subscriptions require you to commit to a set number of billing periods.

Section I adds that these commitment Subscriptions include no financing charges or credit costs, that each payment applies only to the current billing period, and that you may not pay charges before they are due. The refund sentence follows Section B's rule that, when technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery, Apple decides between replacement and refund.

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").

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.

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.

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.
