The updated terms mandate binding arbitration for all disputes arising from Amazon Services or products sold through Amazon.com, replacing the prior court-based system. Customers waive their right to sue in court, have a jury trial, or pursue class action claims; disputes will be resolved by a single arbitrator administering JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The terms require a 60-day mandatory pre-arbitration resolution process with customer service before arbitration can be initiated. Small claims court remains available as an exception if applicable in your jurisdiction, and injunctive relief in court is available only for intellectual property infringement or restraint of future law violations.
