What it is

The agreement routes all disputes and claims arising from Audible service use to the dispute resolution framework established in the Amazon.com Conditions of Use, which includes mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that the full dispute resolution mechanism, including mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, is not contained within the Audible Conditions of Use itself but is incorporated by reference to a separate Amazon document. Users must separately review the Amazon.com Conditions of Use to understand the complete procedural requirements governing disputes.

Interpretive note: The full scope of arbitration obligations, opt-out procedures, and class action waiver terms depends on the current Amazon.com Conditions of Use, which is a separate document not reproduced here.
