IANAL, but the general understanding is: "Ignorance is not a defence". If your legal advisors did not flag this up then I think you are probably entitled to ask for your money back when Apple kicks your butt.

IAANAL, but the expression is, "Ignorance of the law is no defense." That differs from ignorance of the circumstances.
