Access. Access to iTunes Connect is provided solely as an accommodation and at Apple's sole discretion, and is available only to (a) authorized representatives of an entity (a "Content Provider") that has one or more valid agreements with Apple or Apple affiliates relating to the offering of the Content Provider's materials on the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store, as applicable (each, an "Agreement") (such representatives, "Provider Representative(s)") and (b) artists or authorized representatives of artists whose materials are offered on the iTunes Store by the Content Provider ("Artist Representative(s)"), which Artist Representatives have been granted access to iTunes Connect by the Content Provider or Apple solely for purposes of uploading and managing Artist Images. In addition, limited access to iTunes Connect for certain purposes (including delivery of materials to be offered for potential distribution pursuant to a future Agreement) is available to authorized representatives of entities that have applied, and have been invited by Apple, to enter into an Agreement. Your access to particular iTunes Connect services may be further limited by the iTunes Connect administrative user(s) for the Content Provider with which you are associated.
System Requirements. Use of iTunes Connect requires compatible hardware (fees may apply), Internet access (fees may apply), and certain software (fees may apply), and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time. Because use of iTunes Connect involves hardware, software, and Internet access, your ability to use iTunes Connect may be affected by the performance of these factors. High speed Internet access is strongly recommended. You acknowledge and agree that such system requirements, which may be changed from time to time, are your responsibility.
Confidentiality. You acknowledge that, in the course of your use of iTunes Connect, you may have access to certain information and materials that are confidential and are of substantial value to Apple, including, but not limited to, any proposed Agreement you download from iTunes Connect or you otherwise receive from Apple, which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties or used for purposes other than expressly permitted by any Agreement, or as set forth herein ("Apple Confidential Information"). You agree to maintain any Apple Confidential Information in confidence, and not disclose or otherwise make available Apple Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of Apple. In the event either party chooses not to enter into an Agreement, you agree to destroy all copies of any Apple Confidential Information in your possession, including any proposed Agreement(s).
Agreement. Your use of iTunes Connect is, if applicable, subject to the terms of any Agreement, including, without limitation, its confidentiality provisions. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Service or any information provided on iTunes Connect, on the one hand, and any applicable Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of such Agreement shall govern.
Your Information. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information required to register with iTunes Connect and at other points as may be required in the course of using iTunes Connect ("User Data"). You hereby confirm that any User Data you already have provided to Apple (including, without limitation, in the iTunes application process or through prior use of iTunes Connect) has been accurate, current and complete. You further agree to maintain and update your User Data as required to keep it accurate, current, and complete.
Account and Password. As a registered user of iTunes Connect, you must establish an account ("Account"). You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account.

You represent and warrant that:
you have cleared all worldwide rights, including, without limitation, any rights of publicity of any artist or other person depicted in the Artist Images, any copyrights of photographers or other third parties, and any trademark rights in marks featured in the Artist Images, that may be necessary for the use of Artist Images as set forth herein;
you are responsible for all worldwide royalties, fees and/or other sums (if any) payable with respect to Artist Images and their use as set forth herein;
the Artist Images do not violate any applicable laws or regulations; and
you have the authority to make the foregoing representations and warranties, provided that, if you are a Provider Representative, you make the foregoing representations and warranties on behalf of the Content Provider; and if you are an Artist Representative, you make the foregoing representations and warranties on behalf of yourself, any entity on behalf of which you are uploading the Artist Images, and the artist whom you and/or such entity represent.

Free Books Agreement: Free Only eBook Distribution Agreement
This Agreement is by and between Apple Inc., on behalf of itself and its worldwide affiliates ("Apple"), and the individual or entity accepting its terms ("Provider"), and, subject to the following terms, is made available so that Provider can make digital book(s) available for free to end users on Apple's online store.

1. Definitions.

1.1 "Free Content" means book content owned or controlled by Provider, including cover art, photographs, illustrations, charts and videos, promotional content (e.g. book reviews, author bios, forewords, extras and similar content) and associated metadata, which has been cleared for distribution in digital form.

1.2 "Free Content File" means a digital file containing Free Content, and provided by or on behalf of Provider to Apple.

1.3 "Free eBook" means Free Content that has been prepared and is in final digital book format for distribution on the Online Store (as defined below).

2. Agency Authorization. Provider hereby authorizes Apple to act, including in its own name, on behalf of Provider as a worldwide, nonexclusive, limited agent for making Free eBooks available for free to end users on an Apple-branded online store, owned and controlled by Apple ("Online Store"). Accordingly, Apple may: (i) prepare Free Content and host Free eBooks; (ii) promote, solicit, and accept requests to access Free eBooks as downloads and re-downloads; and (iii) make copies of and make Free eBooks accessible to end users in certain countries selected by Provider. Free eBooks made available on the Online Store will be free of charge. For avoidance of doubt, neither party shall have any payment obligation to the other in connection with this agency appointment and authorization.

3. DRM Free. Free eBooks shall not include any digital rights management solution, and Provider may not include any digital watermark or similar technology in the Free Content File. Free eBooks shall be available only to end users with an Apple ID.

4. Marketing. Apple may use Free Content, as well as Free eBook excerpts selected by Apple, in marketing materials to promote the corresponding Free eBook.

5. Copyright Notice, Ownership and Non-infringement. Provider may provide an appropriate copyright notice as requested by Apple, which Apple will display for each Free eBook. As between the parties, subject to any pre-existing rights of Apple, all interest in and to Free Content shall remain with Provider.

6. Textbooks and Apple Software. If Free Content is a Free eBook used for learning and studying a particular subject, then such Free eBook may be considered a "Free eTextbook" by Apple. eTextbooks must (i) comply with any Apple Guidelines that may be made available by Apple, as may be modified from time to time, (ii) be developed using Apple-proprietary software licensed from Apple and made available under separate terms (the "Apple Software") and in the .ibooks format, and (iii) be approved as a compliant Free eTextbook by Apple for distribution on the Online Store. In order to take full advantage of the functionality provided by some Free eTextbooks (and Free eBooks made with such Apple Software, e.g., interactive travel books or cookbooks), end users may be required to use certain applications from Apple.

7. Delivery. Provider shall deliver a Free Content File to Apple in the format and using the method specified by Apple on iTunes Connect, Apple's Provider account management tool. Apple will give Provider access to iTunes Connect subject to its standard terms.

8. Reporting. Apple will provide Provider with various Free eBook distribution data on iTunes Connect.

9. Royalties. Provider, and not Apple, shall be responsible for and timely pay any fees or consideration of any kind owed to any authors, illustrators, or other rights holders or contributors (if any) arising from use of Free Content hereunder.

10. Suspension of Appointment. If Provider notifies Apple, which notification may be using iTunes Connect, that, for reasons beyond its control, it no longer has rights necessary to authorize Apple for a particular Free eBook, or if such authorization is over the objection of an author or his/her heirs, then Provider may suspend such authorization, in which case Apple shall disable access to the corresponding Free eBook within three (3) business days of written notice; nevertheless, end users may continue to re-access any previously acquired Free eBook. In any event, Apple shall have no obligation to promote or make available any particular Free eBook on the Online Store.

11. Responsibility and Liability. Provider shall be solely responsible for any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, however arising and under any theory, infringement or otherwise, arising from or related to the Free Content.

12. Term; Termination. This Agreement shall start on the date Apple acknowledges Provider's acceptance of its terms, and continue for one year (the "Initial Term"); thereafter, it shall automatically renew for consecutive thirty (30) day periods. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other Party (i) becomes insolvent, (ii) files a petition in bankruptcy, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) breaches a material term of this Agreement, unless such breach is cured within thirty (30) days from notice; or, after the Initial Term for any or no reason, subject to thirty (30) days written notice. Any term that either expressly or due to its nature is intended to survive termination of this Agreement shall do so.

13. Representations and Warranties. Apple and Provider each represents and warrants that the nature of their relationship is that of agent and principal, respectively; that it has full authority to enter into this Agreement under its terms, including making any authorizations and representations; and that such authorizations and representations won't interfere with any of its existing obligations. Provider represents and warrants that all Free Content provided by it or on its behalf to Apple hereunder has been cleared for Apple's authorized use, and that such use will not violate or infringe any laws or third party rights.

14. Indemnity. Provider shall indemnify, hold harmless, and upon Apple's request, defend, Apple, its contractors, agents and affiliates (and their respective directors, officers, and employees) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonably attorneys fees and costs) arising out of a claim or threat of claim by a third party because of a breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation of Provider under this Agreement, including any claim that the Free Content infringes or violates the rights of another Party. Apple shall promptly notify Provider of any such claim or threat of claim so that Provider may assume control the defense or settlement (subject to Apple's approval) of such claim, provided that Apple shall have the right, at its expense and with its chosen counsel, to participate in the defense of any such claim or, at its discretion, to settle any such claim at its expense.

15. Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure. Provider agrees to consider and treat as confidential this Agreement, its terms, and information that Apple discloses to Provider designated as confidential. Confidential information shall not include information that is independently developed or lawfully received by Provider, or that has generally become available. Provider shall not make or issue any public statement or press release regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without Apple's prior written approval.

16. Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (I) IN NO EVENT WILL APPLE BE LIABLE TO PROVIDER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS, LIABILITY, DAMAGE, COST, OR EXPENSE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOST DATA, HOWEVER ARISING AND UNDER ANY THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY, AND (II) APPLE'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR PERMITTED DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED IN THE AGGREGATE TO FIFTY DOLLARS (US$50.00).

17. No Warranty. APPLE DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE ONLINE STORE AND APPLE'S PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER.

18. General Provisions.

18.1 Binding Agreement. This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

18.2 Taxes. Provider shall be responsible for and pay any applicable taxes and duties. If Provider claims tax exemption, Provider shall provide support for Provider's tax-exempt status as directed by Apple.

18.3 Notices. Notice must be given in writing and shall be effective: at the time of confirmed email receipt, if by email; upon delivery, if delivered in person; three (3) business days after deposit in the mail, if fully prepaid and sent by U.S. Postal Service; or one (1) day after deposit with a commercial overnight air courier.

If to Provider, to the contact information as submitted through iTunes Connect.

18.4 Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement reflects the entire and final understanding of the parties regarding its subject matter, and may not be amended except by a writing signed by both parties. To the extent any term in this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the agreement shall continue in full force and effect and any invalid or unenforceable terms shall be replaced with valid and enforceable terms that best reflect the parties' intent.

18.5 Governing Law. The Parties agree that this Agreement is made and interpreted under California law, without regard to conflicts of law, and that any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Santa Clara County, California.

Wasn't able to set up a new account for some reason, so I ended up just using my personal Apple account.
