appstore
Will the developer or company (is a corporation or is not) be responsible for legal consequences, or will they be covered and protected by the Apple Store Terms of Use agreement? For example:
1) the app is fun and the kids show the app to a parent who is driving the car, and got into an accident.
2) if the app does road navigation and it went into problem or crash or slow, and caused an accident while driving.
3) or if the terms require using an app in a safe and non-time critical situation, what if the app recommend some exercise routine or diet (such as suggesting eating more eggs, milk, or using some herbs), and it could be argued that they caused any health consequence?
