Interpretive note: The excerpt contains an ellipsis between 'damages' and 'arising out of', indicating that qualifying language has been omitted from the quoted text. The canonical claim and derived fields reflect only what is explicitly present; omitted language could introduce additional conditions or scope limitations.
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.
