Users' access to Subscription Content is contingent on continued active membership; cancellation or lapse of the underlying program ends access.
Interpretive note: The evidence span is a dependent phrase fragment; the full clause to which it belongs is not reproduced in the excerpt. The canonical claim reflects the most natural reading, but the grammatical context governing what is conditioned on active membership cannot be fully confirmed from the excerpt alone.
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.
