Our Apple Developer Program membership for Avorp LLC was recently terminated under Section 3.2(f), citing “documented indications of fraudulent conduct associated with” my account.

I am trying to understand the basis for this decision.

Avorp LLC is a legitimate and independently operated U.S. software company. Its enrollment information was verified by Apple, and the account currently has no published apps on the App Store. I have not engaged in fraudulent reviews, payment fraud, account circumvention, or any other dishonest activity through this developer account. Like I said we don't even have a published application yet.

I also work professionally as a freelance software developer and have previously worked on unrelated client projects involving Apple development resources. If an association with a former client account, project, device, or development environment contributed to this termination, I would like to clarify that such client work is entirely separate from Avorp LLC and does not imply ownership of or responsibility for the client's account or activities.

The termination notice does not identify the specific activity, account, transaction, application, or association that Apple considers fraudulent.

I have already submitted a reinstatement request. I am posting here to ask whether an Apple representative can clarify the appropriate escalation path for a manual review of the account associations involved in a Section 3.2(f) termination.

I am fully prepared to provide company records, contracts, client-work documentation, or development records if needed to verify that Avorp LLC is independent and legitimate.

It's been nearly three weeks since I posted this, and unfortunately, I still haven't received any response or guidance.

I've also been waiting for an update on my reinstatement request, with no further communication from Apple since September 24.

I'm an independent software developer who has invested a great deal of time and effort into building my own software company and products. This termination has seriously affected my ability to move forward with my work, particularly with iOS distribution.

I'm not asking for special treatment. I simply want to understand what led to this decision and have the opportunity to clarify any concerns if my account was incorrectly associated with a former client's account.

If anyone from Apple can point me toward the appropriate escalation path, or if anyone has experience resolving a similar situation, I'd genuinely appreciate the guidance.

Thank you.
