Amazon Developer Services Portal Terms of Use

Welcome to the Amazon Developer Services Portal (the "Portal"). Amazon.com Services LLC, Amazon Media EU S.a.r.l., and/or their affiliates (“Amazon" or "us") provide the Portal to you (if using or registering as an individual) or the entity you represent (if using or registering as a business) (“you") subject to the following terms of use ("Terms") for your use in connection with our Amazon Developer Services Program (“Developer Program"). By visiting the Portal or registering as a user of the Portal, you accept the Terms and represent that you have the authority to bind yourself or the company you represent to the Terms. Please read these Terms carefully. The Terms, together with any Amazon Developer Services Agreement (“Developer Agreement") and nondisclosure agreement executed between you and Amazon, constitute the entire agreement between you and Amazon related to your use of the Portal. To the extent that there is a conflict between these Terms and the Developer Agreement, the terms of the Developer Agreement will govern.

No Unauthorized, Unlawful or Harmful Use of the Portal

The Portal is only for your use and you are only authorized to use it in connection with the Developer Program. Amazon grants you a limited, revocable license to access and use the Portal in the course of participating in the Developer Program. You may not use the Portal for any other commercial or non-commercial purposes or in any way that:

  • Is unlawful or harms Amazon, its customers, suppliers or other parties, as determined in Amazon’s sole discretion.
  • Breaches any code of conduct, policy or other notice applicable to the Portal.
  • Could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Portal (or any network(s) connected to the Portal) or interfere with any other party’s use of the Portal.

Your Account; Changes to Account Settings; User Permissions

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer. We may provide the ability for you to grant additional users access to your account under separate user names and passwords. You agree that you are responsible for all activities that occur under your account or password, including all activities that occur under any user name you grant access to your account. You will ensure that all users granted access to your account comply with these Terms, any Developer Agreement or other agreement related to the Developer Program, and any nondisclosure agreement you enter into with us. If you make changes to your settings or user permissions within the Portal, it may take some time for our system to process the change and you acknowledge that those changes may not take effect immediately.

Changes to these Terms and the Portal

We may in our discretion make any change to these Terms without notice to you. You are responsible for reviewing the revised Terms and/or any applicable postings. CONTINUED USE OF THE PORTAL OR PARTICIPATION IN THE DEVELOPER PROGRAM AFTER SUCH CHANGES OR POSTINGS WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES OR POSTINGS. We may change the Portal or delete any features or functionality, or any aspect of the services, in any way at any time for any reason.

Materials You Post or Provide; Communications Monitoring

The Developer Agreement sets forth our rights related to any product information you post or submit through the Portal. For other information and materials you post or otherwise provide to Amazon related to the Portal (a “Submission"), you grant Amazon and its affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to (1) use, copy, distribute, transmit, make available, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, adapt, modify, translate, reformat and create derivative works of your Submission, each in connection with the Portal and the Developer Program, and (2) sublicense these rights, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Amazon will not pay you for your Submission and may remove your Submission at any time. For each Submission you provide, you represent that you have all rights necessary for you to grant us the rights provided in this section.

You acknowledge that we will communicate with you primarily via email or by posting notices on the Portal. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and any other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirements that such communications be in writing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Amazon may monitor any electronic communications you make in connection with the Portal and may disclose such information in the event it has a good faith reason to believe it is necessary for purposes of ensuring your compliance with this Agreement, and protecting the rights, property, and interests of Amazon or any third party.
