Q: If you break the terms of service of Google Play Store (concerning Android), and further, Apple (concerning iphone)...
If you break the terms of service of Apple or Google Play Store, and it specifically states in the terms of service,
"If you break any term of this agreement, your right under this license automatically terminates without notice to you",
does that mean that you can never use your Apple or Android device again?
In addition to what I quoted above, the Apple iOS terms of service specifically says,
"If you break any term of this agreement, your rights under this license are terminated, and you must cease all use of the software."
I'm just trying to find out if I will ever be able to purchase either an Apple or Android phone again, and start fresh, regardless of the terms that I previously broke.
A:
This is not a legal question. Moreover, while lawyers are very intelligent and highly trained professionals--we are not soothsayers; nor do we do crystal balls. Therefore, I am constrained by a fundamental law of the universe (no one can foretell the future) and unable to opine on your current dilemma.
The only sure-fire way you can be 100% sure is to try to get another cell phone--from a different carrier.
