AWS revised its Customer Agreement by removing the label 'AWS Contracting Party' from the regional contracting party table. The updated agreement reorganizes how regional AWS entities and their contact information are presented, with the entity names now appearing directly without the repeated 'AWS Contracting Party' header. This is a formatting and structural clarification that does not materially change which entity you contract with, applicable law, or jurisdiction for disputes.

What this means for you

This change is a formatting and organizational revision to how AWS presents its regional contracting parties and contact information in the Customer Agreement. The updated agreement removes the repeated 'AWS Contracting Party' column header labels while maintaining the same underlying legal structure: which AWS entity you contract with, the applicable governing law, and the applicable courts remain unchanged. No action is required.
