Amazon.com services are available only to, and may only be used by, individuals who are 18 years and older, or, with parental or guardian consent, to individuals who are 13 years or older.
If a minor uses Amazon without proper parental consent, any purchases or agreements made may be voidable under contract law, and Amazon's collection of their data may implicate children's privacy laws.
Amazon's Conditions of Use significantly limit consumers' legal options by requiring binding arbitration and waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits, meaning disputes must be resolved individually through a private arbitration process rather than in court. Amazon also acquires a broad, royalty-free, perpetual license to any content users submit — including reviews and photos — and can modify terms at any time, with continued use of the site constituting acceptance of changes. You can opt out of mandatory arbitration by mailing a written notice to Amazon Arbitration Opt-out, P.O. Box 81226, Seattle, WA 98108 within 30 days of first accepting these terms.
