Apple provides its services and content with no guarantees — if something goes wrong or the service doesn't work as expected, Apple's financial liability to you is extremely limited.
This analysis describes what Apple Pay's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause establishes that Apple makes no guarantees about service functionality, content quality, or fitness for particular purposes, and narrows the categories of damages recoverable in disputes. This allocation defines the scope of Apple's contractual obligations and liability exposure under the agreement.
Consumers who suffer financial or other harm due to failures of Apple's services, content delivery issues, or account problems will find their ability to recover damages from Apple severely limited by this clause, with no recovery for consequential or punitive damages in most cases.

"TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ITUNES SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT DELIVERED TO YOU THROUGH THE ITUNES SERVICE ARE PROVIDED 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE,' WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL APPLE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE ITUNES SERVICE, THE PRODUCTS OR THIS AGREEMENT.— Excerpt from Apple Pay's Apple Media Services Terms
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Blanket warranty disclaimers and consequential damages exclusions in consumer contracts are restricted by multiple legal frameworks. The EU Directive 2019/770/EU on digital content provides mandatory statutory remedies for non-conforming digital content that cannot be waived by contract. The EU Directive 93/13/EEC (Unfair Contract Terms) prohibits terms that exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury, or that inappropriately exclude consumer rights. In the US, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2301 et seq.) governs warranty disclaimers for consumer products — enforced by the FTC. The UCC (Article 2) governs implied warranty disclaimers in sales transactions, though its applicability to digital services varies by state.
