APP STORE & ITUNES ACCOUNT BALANCE, ITUNES, APP STORE & ITUNES, AND APPLE MUSIC GIFT CARDS AND CODES, AND CONTENT CODES

The following terms and conditions are subject to statutory consumer protection laws, including the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ) and the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), which may limit the ability to exclude liability or may imply warranties or conditions or impose obligations which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified (except to a limited extent). Any disclaimer of warranties and liability limitations applies subject to any rights you may have under such laws.

Gift Cards; App Store & iTunes Account Balance; Redemption; Add Funds:

iTunes, App Store and iTunes, and Apple Music Gift Cards and Codes are issued and are managed by Apple Pty Limited (“Apple”) and include App Store & iTunes Gift Codes (collectively “Store Credit”) that are automatically added to your store credit account (“Account”) balance when purchased directly from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Apple Music (“Services”). Your Account balance represents the balance of all Store Credit that have been redeemed into your Account. When you have a Store Credit balance in your Account, purchases from the Services will first be deducted from your Account. Any unused balance will remain associated with your Account. If a purchase exceeds your Account balance, you will be asked to pay with another payment method. If your new payment method cannot cover the remaining amount, the transaction will be canceled.

APPLE ID: Use of Store Credit or Content Codes purchased in New Zealand requires an Apple ID and acceptance of the Services terms and conditions. An Apple ID is the account you use to access the Services.

Use of Account Balance: Store Credit can be loaded into your account by redeeming physical or digital gift cards into your Account balance or by adding funds to your Account balance through the Services.

You agree to not use a Store Credit in any manner that is misleading, deceptive, unfair, or otherwise harmful to Apple or its customers. We reserve the right, without notice to you, to void or deactivate Store Credit (including a portion of your Account balance) without a refund, suspend or terminate customer accounts, suspend or terminate the ability to use the Services, cancel or limit orders and bill alternative forms of payment if we suspect a Store Credit was obtained, used, or applied to an Apple ID fraudulently, unlawfully, or otherwise in violation of these terms and conditions.

If you use the payment method on file with the Services to add funds to your Account balance, prior to charging the payment method on file, an authorization will occur for the amount of your purchase or reload transaction.

Auto Reload Functionality: You may have the option to add funds to your Account balance on a recurring basis ("Auto Reload"). Once enabled, Auto Reload continues until cancelled. You may cancel Auto Reload in your Auto Reload screen at App Store > Account > Add Funds tab up to one day prior to a scheduled Auto Reload. In some countries, the Add Funds tab may be labeled "Add Money".

With Auto Reload, you select the reload amount. You also select the timing: for example, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, or when your Account balance falls below a set amount.

For example, if you set Auto Reload to add $ 10 to your Account balance "monthly" at the "End of Month", your payment method will be charged $ 10 and $ 10 will be added to your Account balance on the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st of the month, whichever is the last day in the then-current month. Alternatively, if you set Auto Reload to add $ 10 to your Account balance when it falls below $ 5, your payment method will be charged $ 10 and $ 10 will be added to your Account balance each time it falls below $ 5.

The payment method charged is the default payment method you have on file with Apple Media Services. If your default payment method is updated, the updated payment method will be charged. If we cannot charge your payment method for any reason, another payment method on file may be charged or, if that is not available, it may result in your Account balance not being funded.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to pause or disable Auto Reload. This may occur if there is fraud, misconduct, illegal behavior, inactivity, maintenance, a change in law, a need for verifying information, a problem with the payment method on file (such as expiration or insufficient funds), or if the functionality is no longer offered, your Account balance reaches a limit set by law or regulation, or for other reasons.

Restrictions: Store Credit are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund (except as required by law); exchanged; resold; used to purchase Gifts or Gift Cards; used for purchases on the Apple Online Store; or used in Apple Retail Stores. Gift Cards and Content Codes can only be used to purchase content from the Services. Unused balances are not transferable. Apple may provide you with information about the redemption status of Store Credit you purchase.

Store Credit and Content Codes purchased in New Zealand can only be redeemed into an Account in New Zealand.

If you choose to delete your Apple ID, you must spend your Account balance prior to closing the account.

Risk of Loss: Apple is not responsible for lost or stolen Store Credit or Content Codes. Risk of loss and title for Store Credit pass to the purchaser upon electronic transmission to the recipient. Risk of loss and title for Content Codes transmitted electronically pass upon electronic transmission from Apple; for avoidance of doubt, such recipient may not always be you.

Apple reserves the right to close accounts and request alternative forms of payment if a Store Credit or Content Code is fraudulently obtained or used on the Service.
