Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users may lose the ability to access or re-download content they have purchased if Apple removes it from the Services.

Interpretive note: The excerpt provides one example reason for removal (Apple losing rights from the Content provider) but frames it as illustrative ('for instance'). The primary claim is the removal right itself; the example is noted in omitted_material.
