Why do I need to accept a "Paid Applications" contract when updating my free apps?
Details:I submitted some free applications before. Now I try to update one of the free applications, and iTunes Connect main page display this to me:Review the updated Paid Applications Schedule.In order to update your existing apps, create new in-app purchases, and submit new apps to the App Store, the user with the Legal role (Team Agent) must review and accept the Paid Applications Schedule (Schedule 2 to the Apple Developer Program License Agreement) in the Agreements, Tax, and Banking module.To accept this agreement, they must have already accepted the Apple Developer Program License Agreement in their account on the developer website.So I follow the link above (the link text are underlined) and arrive at "iTunes Connect" > "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" page.In the "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" page:My "Contracts In Effect" section has a "Free Applications" type contract.My "Request Amendments" section has a "Paid Applications" type contract and in that contract row, I have a clickable "Requst" button.To update my free application, it seems like I have only one way to reach the goal - by pressing that request button and acept the agreement that shows up immediately.1) But, my apps are free, why do I must accept a "Paid Applications" type contract, shouldn't I have the options to review and accept a "Free Applications" contract?2) How does the "Paid Applications" type contract differs compared to a "Free Applications" type contract?3) Do I need to pay anything extra?4) Is there any extra responsibility I need to carry?5) If we must accept "Paid Applications" contract, then why do we have a "Free Applications" contract in the first place?I'm a bit unclear about the how these contract and agreement works and the forum doesn't seem to have an answer for this question yet.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced!
