The updated terms establish new restrictions on how users may employ Apple's services and content. Users are now explicitly prohibited from using Services, Content, or any outputs from them to train, fine-tune, or improve any artificial intelligence model or other software. For subscription commitments, refunds are limited to periods of access already paid for but not yet provided, with no refund due for future billing periods where payment has not yet been collected. Free trials or offers cannot be combined with any Apple Bundle (expanded from Apple One only), and trials will not be paused if you subscribe to an Apple Bundle, even if you have access to the same subscription through the bundle. You can cancel your subscription in your account settings at any time without additional charge if you do not wish to receive added services or features.
