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. Users who hold existing Token balances or have purchased Vella content should contact Amazon customer service to understand how their existing purchases and balances are affected, as the terms no longer explicitly address this service.
