contain inaccuracies or errors that could cause failures or loss of data and may be incomplete. You
should back up Your data prior to using any pre-release Apple Software and Apple Services and not rely
on them to perform in the same way as a commercial release of the Apple Software and Services.
3.2
Confidentiality
You agree that pre-release versions of the Apple Software and Apple Services (including pre-release
Documentation) will be deemed “Apple Confidential Information”; provided however that upon the
commercial release of the Apple Software and Apple Services, such pre-release versions of the Apple
Software and Apple Services will no longer be confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Apple
Confidential Information will not include: (i) information that is generally and legitimately available to the
public through no fault or breach of Yours, (ii) information that is generally made available to the public
by Apple, (iii) information that is independently developed by You without the use of any Apple
Confidential Information, (iv) information that was rightfully obtained from a third party who had the right
to transfer or disclose it to You without limitation, or (v) any FOSS included in the Apple Software and
Apple Services and accompanied by licensing terms that do not impose confidentiality obligations on
the use or disclosure of such FOSS. Further, Apple agrees that You will not be bound by the foregoing
confidentiality terms with regard to technical information about pre-release Apple Software or Apple
Services disclosed by Apple at WWDC (Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference), except that You
may not post screen shots of, write public reviews of, or redistribute any pre-release Apple Software or

of care. You agree to use Apple Confidential Information solely for the purpose of exercising Your rights
and performing Your obligations under this Agreement and agree not to use Apple Confidential
Information for any other purpose, for Your own or any third party’s benefit, without Apple's prior written
consent. You further agree not to disclose or disseminate Apple Confidential Information to anyone
other than: (i) Authorized Developers; or (ii) as otherwise agreed or permitted in writing by Apple. You
may disclose Apple Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that You take
reasonable steps to notify Apple of such requirement before disclosing the Apple Confidential
Information and to obtain protective treatment of the Apple Confidential Information. You acknowledge
that damages for improper disclosure of Apple Confidential Information may be irreparable; therefore,
Apple is entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and preliminary injunction, in addition to all
other remedies.

4.

Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Apple, its
directors, officers, employees, independent contractors and agents (each an “Apple Indemnified
Party”) from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and costs (including without
limitation attorneys' fees and court costs) (collectively “Losses”) incurred by an Apple Indemnified Party
as a result of Your breach of this Agreement, a breach of any certification, covenant, representation or
warranty made by You in this Agreement, any claims that Your Applications violate or infringe any third

Term and Termination

The license to use this version of the Apple Software and Apple Services is effective until terminated as
set forth herein.
This Agreement and all rights under this Agreement will terminate automatically or cease to be effective
without notice from Apple if You or any of Your Authorized Developers fail to comply with any term(s) of
this Agreement. All rights hereunder in any beta or pre-release versions of the Apple Software for a
particular release will terminate upon the commercial release of such Apple Software.
Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, You agree to immediately cease all use of the
Apple Software and Apple Services and erase and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Apple
Software and Apple Services and all copies of Apple Confidential Information in Your and Your
Authorized Developers' possession or control. At Apple’s request, You agree to provide written
certification of such destruction to Apple.
Apple reserves the right to revoke, disable or suspend any Provisioning Profiles or any access to
the device deployment and provisioning features of the Apple Software and Services at any time,
in its sole discretion. By way of example, Apple may do this if Apple has reason to believe that
Apple IDs were fraudulently obtained, that an unreasonable number of devices have been entered
into the Apple Software, and/or that the Services are being used in a fraudulent, suspicious, or
improper manner.
The following terms shall survive termination: Section 1, the last sentence of Section 2.1, the last two
sentences of Section 2.2B., the second to last sentence of Section 2.4, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, the last
sentence of 2.12, and Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Apple will not be liable for compensation, indemnity,
or damages of any sort as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and
termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy Apple may have,
now or in the future.

Severability; Waiver

enforceability of either of those Sections, this Agreement will immediately terminate and You must
immediately discontinue any use of the Apple Software and Apple Services as described in the Section

Agreement. Section headings are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or
interpreting this Agreement.
