These changes can potentially cause disruptions, for example, if FileWave is unable to sync with Apple due to unanticipated terms changes.

Apple helps organizations stay updated by sending an email about a week prior to the implementation of new terms and conditions. However, these notifications can sometimes be overlooked or end up in the inbox of an unavailable person. To prevent disruptions to ADE and VPP operations, it is critical to promptly accept these terms when they are updated.
