iOS libspotify: App Rejected for using link to Spotify sign-up page

Not sure if this is exactly the right forums forum this, but I just wanted to inform others about an issue I encountered while submitting my libspotify enabled app to Apple's app store. My app (screenshot below) included the sentence "A premium Spotify account is required" with the word Spotify linking to: https://www.spotify.com/us/signup/

I was atttempting to make it easy for users to 1. login to their account (to ensure they were premium) and 2. Sign-up if they wanted. My app was rejected (twice, I appealed and lost) becaues of "Rule 11.13". Considering this is a free app, and libspotify rules don't allow me to charge $$ anyway, I just changed the link to Spotify's wikipedia page. Fairly annoying, but just a warning to any future libspotify developers. Don't link anywhere near the Sign Up page or you will be rejected. The homepage is probably fine...but I didn't want to chance it.
