The App Store License Agreement serves as the foundational legal framework for software developers seeking to distribute their applications through an established app store platform in Malaysia. This agreement is essential for both platform providers and developers as it defines the legal relationship between parties, establishes distribution rights, and ensures compliance with Malaysian regulations including the Electronic Commerce Act 2006 and Personal Data Protection Act 2010. The document addresses critical aspects such as revenue sharing, intellectual property protection, technical requirements, and quality standards for app submission. It's particularly important given Malaysia's growing digital economy and the increasing number of local developers entering the global app marketplace. The agreement must balance international app distribution standards with local legal requirements while protecting both the platform's integrity and developers' rights.
