• Resumen

  • On 15 January 2014 Apple Inc. (�Apple�) agreed to settle a complaint with The Federal Trade Commission (�FTC�) that Apple violated the FTC Act by failing to tell parents that they were approving an in-app purchase and 15 minutes of additional unlimited purchases by simply entering a password. The complaint was triggered by complaints the FTC had received from parents for in-app charges that were incurred by children that were either accidental or not authorized.
