Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users assume an obligation to verify whether their intended use or transfer of Amazon services complies with U.S. export control restrictions and to obtain required authorizations before proceeding. The provision applies the restrictions to all export, re-export, and transfer activities regardless of whether Amazon would facilitate or detect such activity.
