What it is

The Standard EULA caps the App Provider's or Apple's total aggregate liability to a user for all damages related to licensed applications at $250, regardless of the theory of liability, with the exception of personal injury claims where applicable law requires otherwise. This cap applies even if other specified remedies fail.
