The Apple Card Customer Agreement is now available on the Goldman Sachs website. Apple has partnering with Goldman Sachs to debut its new credit card which features daily cash back, no fees, and enhanced privacy.

Your Apple Card Account is issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch ("Bank", "we", "us", or "our") and this is a legal agreement between you and us. By using your Apple Card Account or adding your Card to Apple Wallet, you are agreeing to be bound by this "Agreement", which includes this Apple Card Customer Agreement, together with your rates information, which can be found in your Apple Wallet.

One of the more notable details in the customer agreement is a clause forbiding the use of jailbroken devices.

If you make unauthorized modifications to your Eligible Device, such as by disabling hardware or software controls (for example, through a process sometimes referred to as "jailbreaking"), your Eligible Device may no longer be eligible to access or manage your Account. You acknowledge that use of a modified Eligible Device in connection with your Account is expressly prohibited, constitutes a violation of this Agreement, and could result in our denying or limiting your access to or closing your Account as well as any other remedies available to us under this Agreement.

The agreement also provides details about how the Daily Cash Program works.

Daily Cash will be calculated based on the amount of each Purchase Transaction posted to your Account, multiplied by the above-listed percentage corresponding to the Transaction type. Daily Cash will be rounded to the nearest cent but will not be less than one cent.

There's also information on how your daily balance is determined, how interest is calculated, how your minimum payment is calculated, and more.

Check out the full document at the link below. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently revealed that Apple Card will arrive this month. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

You should care about you first. Why they won’t let you delete (at least like Amazon) to erase your Siri recordings? They care about themselves first, keep in mind. They are not in business to not make money. And yes sometimes it means to sell your data.

@ PaulieP... Thank you!!!! Sometimes I wonder if all these people yapping about the freedom of jailbreaks are Chinese/Russian/whatever trolls trying to weaken one of the strongest firewalls we have... I don't much like Apple as a company, but I do feel safer with their products than I do with Android & Co. Jailbreak exploits are closed as soon as they're discovered because they're security weaknesses, not because Apple is intimidated by the loss of revenue. Give me a break, jailbreaking is a flea to them!

Your problem is that you were born in captivity and you can not see only like this. Did you ask yourself why bank websites let you access their systems without questioning how is your device (open or closed) And you (voice of “not” reason) didn’t answer why they don’t let you erase your recordings with Siri. Think for 5 min...

PaulieP - August 5, 2019 at 9:20am

None of that data is shared no matter what you say. I could care less if Siri keeps my recordings, it’s the only way to better the engine itself. As long as my information is not shared, that’s what I care about. Most will agree with me and some of you might call me names and I don’t mind because the truth is that our privacy is most important. Enjoy your Samsung and your jailbreak and your soon to be hacked devices and info shared everywhere. Personally I would rather access my bank from a secure private phone like apple not from Huawei or Samsung and definitely not Google or a jailbroken phone.

Who said something about android or those brands. I don’t own none of those but if I purchase a 1000$ device and in 6y is obsolete (I think they call it vintage) I don’t agree with that, I might want to use it for something else and jb might help still be relevant. Think before speak...

PaulieP - August 5, 2019 at 4:17pm

I would say get a different job that makes more money because some people buy cars for several hundred thousand dollars and they don’t last more than five years with them. Everything in technology is obsolete in five years, don’t blame Apple, blame technology, blame the batteries, blame the software but it’s not due to Apple. Also jailbreaking causes more ware on the battery because it’s usually an unstable operating system. Why take a chance and ruin your phone? Apple locks it for a reason so that the average person who is not super tech savvy cannot damage it. Also they make it so it’s more secure than other devices. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Do you complain about everything you own and purchase?If you want to do more with your phone, go buy an android and wait five years and see if it’s not obsolete.

PaulieP - August 5, 2019 at 4:18pm

Voice of reason, you get it and 1reader is just an instigator.

1reader - August 7, 2019 at 7:47pm

Hey PaulieP go ahead this fall buy it https://apple.news/AACmpr839Rk-puEFlb-pQqw As you said, for you 1k$ it’s nothing. Go ahead buy it when will be available.

What are the incentives to get their card? Are there even any good perks to apples card that are better than flight points and things like that?

AntiNeo - August 3, 2019 at 5:41am

Okay lol That's a no-go then

stevenlacross - August 3, 2019 at 12:29pm

Yeah I was saying the same thing, but I’m sure there’s going to be a cat and mouse thing with making it so that Apple payments can’t detect the jailbreak. But Apple will probably use a system wide jailbreak detection solution and tie it to your Apple ID and see if that Apple ID has Apple card. I was going to get Apple card, but it looks like I’ll just wait for other credit cards to start offering the same cash back bonus as Apple is

the voice of reason - August 3, 2019 at 3:13am

Huh??? Example, please.

the voice of reason - August 5, 2019 at 3:26am

Yeah, that's not what the article says, nor is it what the user agreement says. What you're saying doesn't make any sense. Come on Nick, I don't like Apple as a company either, but don't just gripe nonsense.

1reader - August 5, 2019 at 4:25am

The only benefit for us would be to make a tool in managing/automate how we use our card and I don’t see how a jb device with Apple Card would be a threat to them (when they have all your information: Ssn, address, current location or past location...)?! Maybe “the voice of reason” can explain...

the voice of reason - August 5, 2019 at 11:23am

@1reader: "Maybe “the voice of reason” can explain.." No, I can't because you don't express yourself in a coherent fashion. Not attacking you, but while "The only benefit for us would be to make a tool in managing/automate how we use our card" may make sense to you, it makes zero sense outside your head.

1reader - August 5, 2019 at 11:52am

Then What are u using jb for? Dl free stuff? Probably you got upset and didn’t think for 5 min

1reader - August 5, 2019 at 2:09pm

My English might not be my first language but I can guarantee that I know English better than you might know any other language.

the voice of reason - August 5, 2019 at 5:22pm

@1reader: Nobody is attacking your English, relax, slow down, have a nice day...

1reader - August 5, 2019 at 5:27pm

Not to continue with this, but I made a comment about the newsletter and you “jumped” that I “hurt” the image of Apple. Don’t worry they have a lot of lawyers and PR people. I’m just one reader and Apple user, you with “voice the reason” should be against restricting users since you are like me just a “grasshopper” in all this. You too have a nice day!

1reader - August 2, 2019 at 10:34pm

Funny how restrictive they are when they you want to use their devices/systems but we (as consumers, owners of our devices) cannot restrict certain apps or systems to access certain information about us. Hm...
