The licensing structure rather than sale framework establishes the legal basis for Apple's control over app distribution, installation, and continued access. This distinction determines the rights and restrictions that govern each user's relationship with downloaded applications.
Users obtain limited rights to use apps rather than ownership rights, and continued access depends on compliance with the applicable license agreement terms. The operative agreement is either Apple's Standard EULA or the App Provider's Custom EULA, which defines permissible use and restrictions.
