Your T&Cs (particularly the waivers) aren't legal in Australia and yet the app is still available to download here. Might want to get some region-specific T&Cs before distributing the app outside of the US? For example, in the state of Victoria at least you can only waive liability in the a) case of death and injury and b) only in the cases of recreational sport (but you have to use specific language available on the Victorian government website). Also, I don't think an Australian can give up the right to sue. This does create a potential liability issue in terms of operating the application here (and I imagine it does in many other jurisdictions as well.)

So that's the reason I have to have a US iTunes account to download software.

"aren't legal in Australia and yet the app is still available to download here" Why wouldn't this affect web apps?

Thanks! Didn't know this. Will check this out and decide what to do.
