The following default rules apply to all Apps:
- Branding. All Apps must include an approved ESPN trademark, logo or other
intellectual property (each, an "ESPN Mark").
- Advertising. No advertising or sponsorship of any kind may appear on or be
associated with any App (unless included in the Content made available by
ESPN).
- No Charge. All Apps must be offered free of charge to download or
otherwise access and may not contain any in-App purchase features.
If you are interested in creating a for-profit App, please
contact us at apipartneropps@espn.com to discuss a
potential partnership opportunity. All for-profit Apps
must be pre-approved in writing by ESPN (such approval to
be granted or withheld in ESPN’s sole discretion). To the
extent any for-profit Apps are approved in writing by ESPN
(in its sole discretion), you will be solely responsible
for any and all taxes due in connection with the
distribution of such App in any territory.
Word on the street is that ESPN has a tendency to listen to an idea, not make the deal, and build it themselves instead. So even going the partnership route is risky...
