This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This document establishes the terms governing use of Amazon.com and related services, including purchasing, product reviews, selling, and software access. The agreement authorizes Amazon a perpetual, royalty-free license to any content submitted by users, and establishes that disputes between the user and Amazon proceed through individual arbitration rather than litigation or class action, with a 30-day opt-out window available by written notice. Amazon's liability is capped at the amount paid for the relevant service or $100, whichever is greater.
This document is Amazon's Conditions of Use, governing access to and use of Amazon.com and its affiliated services, products, and software, with stated legal basis under applicable U.S. law and the laws of the State of Washington. The agreement states that users grant Amazon a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use content submitted to the platform, and the terms authorize Amazon to modify, terminate, or restrict access to services at its discretion with or without notice. The agreement includes a binding arbitration clause with a class action waiver requiring most disputes to be resolved through individual arbitration under AAA rules, and separately disclaims all warranties and limits Amazon's liability to the greater of the amount paid for the service or $100; these provisions are operative under U.S. law but may face enforceability constraints in certain jurisdictions, including EU member states, where consumer protection law may limit their application. The terms engage U.S. consumer protection frameworks administered by the FTC, Washington State consumer protection statutes, and, where applicable to specific product or data interactions, CCPA for California residents; cross-border users in the EU and UK should note that the document's governing law and dispute resolution clauses may be limited by mandatory local consumer rights protections.
