The updated terms no longer include any language governing Kindle Vella, a service that previously allowed customers to purchase and redeem digital Tokens for eligible content through the Kindle Store. This removal eliminates contractual protections that previously governed Token ownership (non-expiration, non-transferability), refund policies, and geographic restrictions.
