iTunes, App Store and iTunes, and Apple Music Gift Cards and Codes (collectively “App Store and iTunes Cards”) are issued and managed by Apple Distribution International Ltd.

Use of Account Balance:  Store Credit can be loaded into your account by redeeming physical or digital gift cards into your Account balance or by adding funds to your Account balance through the Services.
