“Unless we terminate your use of the Services pursuant to Section 5.2(b), during the 30 days following the Termination Date: (i) we will not take action to remove from the AWS systems any of Your Content as a result of the termination; and (ii) we will allow you to retrieve Your Content from the Services only if you have paid all amounts due”

The payment condition on content retrieval means a customer with an outstanding balance may be unable to access their own data during the only post-termination window in which AWS commits not to delete it.
Interpretive note: The excerpt establishes two independent effects: (i) AWS will not remove content during the 30-day window, and (ii) retrieval is conditioned on full payment. The canonical claim captures the payment condition on retrieval as the primary proposition; the non-removal commitment is recorded in omitted_material.
Customers may retrieve their Content within 30 days of termination only if all outstanding amounts have been paid; unpaid balances can block access to that content.
