Customers must notify AWS in writing of any disputed invoice charges within 60 days of the invoice or usage report date; failure to do so constitutes a waiver of the right to dispute those charges. Disputes must include reasonable detail about the nature of the disagreement.

This provision establishes a contractual shortened limitations period for billing disputes. Customers with billing cycles that may not be reviewed within 60 days, or who detect billing irregularities after that window, lose the contractual right to dispute charges even if the underlying billing was erroneous. This creates an operational dependency on timely invoice monitoring.
This new provision imposes a strict 60-day deadline for billing disputes with automatic waiver of rights, eliminating customer ability to challenge charges beyond this window.
View full change record →The agreement requires customers to identify and formally dispute billing errors within 60 days of the invoice date, with waiver of dispute rights as the consequence of missing this window. This requires an internal accounts payable or FinOps process capable of reviewing AWS usage data and invoices within that timeframe.

"You must notify us in writing within 60 days of the date of the applicable AWS invoice or usage report if you dispute any charges and provide us with reasonable detail regarding the nature of the dispute. If you do not provide such notice, you will have waived your right to dispute such charges.— Excerpt from AWS's AWS Customer Agreement
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Shortened contractual dispute windows are common in cloud service agreements and are generally enforceable under US commercial law. However, in certain jurisdictions, consumer protection statutes may provide minimum dispute rights that cannot be waived by contract; for business customers, this is less commonly applicable. California's commercial laws and some EU member state laws may impose limits on waiver clauses in specific contexts. The CFPB has jurisdiction over payment-related disputes in consumer financial product contexts, though AWS cloud billing is not directly regulated as a financial product. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. For large enterprise customers with complex multi-service AWS deployments, 60 days may be an operationally tight window to complete invoice reconciliation, detect errors, and initiate formal written dispute procedures. Reserved Instance, Savings Plan, or marketplace billing arrangements may add complexity to timely dispute identification. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Business customers in most US jurisdictions are unlikely to have statutory protections overriding this waiver clause. EU/EEA business customers should evaluate applicable national commercial law. Consumer-facing AWS services accessed by individuals rather than businesses may implicate consumer protection statutes with non-waivable dispute rights. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Finance and FinOps teams should establish a formal AWS invoice review cycle with a maximum 45-day internal deadline to allow time for dispute initiation before the 60-day contractual window closes. Procurement contracts with internal stakeholders should reflect this obligation. Automated billing anomaly detection tools may reduce the risk of missing the dispute window. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Internal financial controls documentation should reflect the 60-day dispute window as a contractual control point. Organizations subject to SOX or other financial reporting frameworks should ensure that the dispute waiver mechanism is factored into internal financial control assessments related to cloud expenditure accuracy.
