third party content app document for app store

Copyright Contract

You must warrant that your application does not infringe the rights of a third party by providing documentary evidence that you have the rights to use this content.

Apple is asking for proof that you have the right to use the Third Party Content in your app.

You can do this by providing the requested contract with the copyright holder. A contract can come in many forms depending on the laws and countries involved. Apple does not provide examples because of this diversity.

Ultimately, Apple needs to know you accept responsibility and have the legal right to distribute other's work through your app.

  • What content do you include or make accessible in your app?
  • Do you really have the right to republish it?

Apple needs you to prove this.
