Change Summary
Kindle removed its Kindle Vella service from the terms of service on July 13, 2026, eliminating all language related to Tokens, Token purchases, Token restrictions, geographic limitations, and Vella-specific refund policies. The updated terms no longer reference Kindle Vella Content, Vella subscription terms, or Token-based redemption mechanics. Users who previously relied on the Kindle Vella service to purchase or access Token-gated content will no longer have contractual terms governing that service.
