There is this "INDEMNIFICATION" paragraph in iCloud Terms and Conditions that said two things I object:
1. "... you cannot sue Apple, its affiliates, ..., as a result of its decision to remove or refuse to process any information or Content, to warn you, to suspend or terminate your access to the Service, or to take any other action during the investigation of a suspected violation or as a result of Apple's conclusion that a violation of this Agreement has occured."
2. "... indemnify and hold harmless Apple from and against any and all claims and demands arising from usage of your Account, whether or not such usage is expressly authorized by you."
Mind that this is my opinion, I'm not a professional legal practitioner nor am I acting as one:
First of all, number 1 makes it volatile for business purposes, legally speaking. There's no guarantee that your transactions or important time of negotiation wouldn't be interrupted by Apple at its sole discretion. And then, if they were wrong, all of those losses would be deemed to have been indemnified, by you.
Number 2 makes it so that if your account got cracked by the malice of Apple's personnel, due to the company's negligence or encouragement, you don't get to claim compensation from Apple
Those are just in a hindsight, from the top of my head... these 2 clauses are so problematic, the fact that they are there at the first place, I'm concerned that it is deeper than just those problems.
