If Apple Business asks you to approve new Terms and Conditions

From time to time, Terms and Conditions for Apple Business may change. These changes may coincide with major operating system releases. When this happens, an Organisation Administrator needs to sign in to https://business.apple.com to review and agree to the updated Apple Business Terms of Service and any other applicable agreements, which may include:

  • AppleCare+ for Business

  • macOS Software Licence Agreement

  • iOS and iPadOS Software Licence Agreement

  • visionOS Software Licence Agreement

  • tvOS Software Licence Agreement

About Organisation Administrators

Organisation Administrators can accept Terms and Conditions on behalf of the organisation. An organisation can have up to ten Organisation Administrators.

Accepting updated agreements

After Apple updates one of these agreements, an Apple Business Organisation Administrator may sign in to https://business.apple.com to accept any new agreements. To ensure uninterrupted access to Apple Business for their organisation, they can agree to the terms immediately or defer until the acceptance deadline. Until an Organisation Administrator agrees, they will be prompted to review and agree to the terms through email and banner reminders.

All Apple Business users will be informed that their Organisation Administrator needs to agree to the updated Terms and Conditions.

After the acceptance deadline

If an Organisation Administrator doesn’t accept the Terms and Conditions by the acceptance deadline, devices assigned to a device management service aren't affected. If you erase all content and settings on a device, the device is still assigned to the same device management service and the same settings are applied when the device is set up again.

Ads campaigns continue to run and Ads Administrators can continue to sign in and manage their existing campaigns.

The following conditions apply until the new agreements are accepted:

  • Organisation Administrators will be blocked from signing in and will be required to accept the applicable Terms and Conditions in order to regain access.

  • Users with other administrative permissions (such as IT Administrator, Marketing Administrator, or People Manager) will be able to sign in and will have limited access until an Organisation Administrator accepts the applicable Terms and Conditions.

  • Managers of provisional organisations may choose Create a downloadable PDF and CSV.

  • Send as an email is permitted only after an organisation is verified.

  • Apple Business users with role permissions to reset Managed Apple Account passwords can send or print sign-in information, but other site functions are unavailable.

  • You can’t assign new devices to any device management service, even if you have selected the option to automatically assign new purchases to a specific device management service.

  • Your device management service might report an error message such as 403 T_C_NOT_SIGNED when communicating with Apple’s device management servers.
