Amazon disclaims almost all warranties and says it is not responsible for any damages — including harm to your computer from viruses — that arise from using Amazon's website, products, or services.
Consumers who suffer financial harm, data loss, or other damages from defects in Amazon's services — including malware encountered through Amazon's platform — may find their ability to recover damages severely limited by this blanket disclaimer.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Warranty disclaimers in consumer contracts are regulated under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2301 et seq.) for goods sold to consumers, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC §2-316) for the sale of goods, and the FTC Act Section 5 for deceptive warranty practices. California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code §1790 et seq.) and CLRA (Cal. Civ. Code §1770) limit the enforceability of implied warranty disclaimers in consumer transactions. EU Directive 2019/771 on the sale of goods provides consumers with mandatory two-year conformity guarantees that cannot be disclaimed.
