policies, or other risks to Amazon or third parties. These amounts may be
refundable or nonrefundable in the manner we determine, and failure to
comply with terms of this Agreement, including any applicable Program
Policies, may result in their forfeiture.
As a security measure, we may, but are not required to, impose transaction
limits on some or all customers and sellers relating to the value of any
transaction or disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or
disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per
day or other period of time. We will not be liable to you: (i) if we do not
proceed with a transaction or disbursement that would exceed any limit
established by us for a security reason, or (ii) if we permit a customer to
withdraw from a transaction because the Amazon Site or a Service is
unavailable following the commencement of a transaction.

the duration of your original and derivative intellectual property rights to

operators of Amazon Associated Properties; provided, however, that we will
not alter any of Your Trademarks from the form provided by you (except to
re-size trademarks to the extent necessary for presentation, so long as the

with your removal requests as to specific uses of Your Materials (provided
you are unable to do so using standard functionality made available to you
via the applicable Amazon Site or Service); provided further, however, that
nothing in this Agreement will prevent or impair our right to use Your
Materials without your consent to the extent that such use is allowable

use under copyright law, referential use under trademark law, or valid license
from a third party).

prior written consent of the other party, which may not be unreasonably
withheld; except that a party may settle any claim that is exclusively directed
at and exclusively affects that party.

shipping costs may vary from such estimates. In addition, if the weight of the
Unit, as determined by the applicable carrier, differs from that submitted by
you to us for purposes of determining the estimated shipping costs, then: (a)
you may be charged more than the estimated shipping costs if the carrier
determines that such Unit weighs more than as submitted by you; or (b) you
may be charged the full amount of the estimated shipping costs even if the
carrier determines the weight to be less than that submitted by you. You will
not use carrier account information (e.g., carrier account number, amount of
shipping rates, etc.) for any purpose, nor disclose such information to any
third party, and you will protect such information as Amazon's confidential
information in accordance with Section 11 of the General Terms of this
Agreement. As between you, us, and the applicable carrier, you will be the
shipper of record, and we will make payment to the carrier with respect to
the shipment of all Units using such discounted rates. Title and risk of loss
for any Unit shipped using discounted rates provided by us under this
Section will remain with you, and our provision of such shipping rates will
not create any liability or responsibility for us with respect to any delay,
damage, or loss incurred during shipment. You authorize the applicable
carrier to provide us with all shipment tracking information.
F-3.4 - If you ship Units from outside the Elected Country (including where
Units have not passed through the Elected Country’s customs controls) to
fulfillment centers, you will list yourself as the importer/consignee and/or
exporter of record, as applicable and nominate a customs broker. Neither
Amazon (nor any of its Affiliates) shall be listed as the importer or exporter
on any import, export or other customs documentation. Amazon or such
Affiliate reserves the right to refuse to accept the Units covered by the

F-5 Fulfillment
As part of our fulfillment services, we will ship Units from our inventory of
Your Products to the shipping addresses in the Elected Country included in
valid customer orders. We may ship Units together with products purchased
from other merchants, including any of our Affiliates. If you participate in
our export fulfillment services, we will also ship Your Products that we
determine to be eligible (each, a "Foreign-Eligible Product") to Foreign
Addresses within countries we determine to be eligible for foreign
shipments, subject to the additional terms on foreign shipments in the
applicable FBA Guidelines.

F-6.1 We will receive and process returns of any Amazon Fulfillment Units
that were shipped to addresses within the Elected Country in accordance
with the terms of your Seller Agreement, these FBA Service Terms, and the
Program Policies. Any Sellable Units that are also Amazon Fulfillment Units
and that are properly returned will be placed back into the inventory of Your
Products in the FBA Program. We may fulfill customer orders for Your
Products with any returned Amazon Fulfillment Units. Except as provided in
Section F-7, you will retake title of all Units that are returned by customers.
F-7.1 You may, at any time, request that Units be returned to you or that we
dispose of Units.
F-7.2 We may with notice return Units to you, including upon termination of
these FBA Service Terms. Returned Units will be sent to your designated
shipping address. However, if (a) the designated shipping address we have
for you is outdated or incorrect, (b) you have not provided or, upon our
request, confirmed a designated shipping address in the Elected Country, or
(c) we cannot make arrangements for you to pay for the return shipment,
then the Unit(s) will be deemed abandoned and we may elect to dispose of
them as appropriate based on the inventory (e.g., by selling, recycling,
donating, or destroying it) and retain any proceeds we may receive from the
disposal.
We may dispose of any Unsuitable Unit (and you will be deemed to have
consented to our action): (d) immediately if we determine that (i) the Unit
creates a safety, health, or liability risk to Amazon, our personnel, or any
third party; (ii) you have engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity; or (iii) we
have cause to terminate your use of Services with immediate effect pursuant
to Section 3 and are exposed to liability towards a third party; (e) if you fail
to direct us to return or dispose of any Unsuitable Unit within thirty (30)
days after we notify you that the Unit has been recalled; or (f) if you fail to
direct us to return or dispose of any Unsuitable Unit within thirty (30) days
(or as otherwise specified in the applicable Program Policies) after we notify
you that its removal is required, for instance because your use of FBA is
suspended or terminated or your seller account is suspended, terminated or

F-7.3 You may, at any time, request that we dispose of Units. In this case, we
may dispose of these Units as appropriate based on the inventory (e.g., by
selling, recycling, donating, or destroying it) and retain any proceeds we may
receive from the disposal. Title to each disposed Unit will transfer to us (or a
third party we select such as a charity) at no cost, free and clear of any liens,
claims, security interests or other encumbrances to the extent required to
dispose of the Unit, and we may retain any proceeds, we may receive from
the disposal.
FBA Guidelines for the Unit. Any customer refund will be processed in
accordance with the Selling on Amazon and the Transaction Processing
Service Terms. Notwithstanding the Selling on Amazon Service Terms, we
will be entitled to retain the applicable fees payable to us under the Selling
on Amazon Service Terms and these FBA Service Terms, respectively. Except
as expressly provided in this Section F-8.2, you will be responsible for all
costs associated with any replacement or return.
F-9.1 Handling and Storage Fees. You will pay us the applicable fees
described in the applicable Fulfillment by Amazon Fee Schedule . You will
be charged the Storage Fees beginning on the day (up to midnight) that the
Unit arrives at a fulfillment center and is available for fulfillment by Amazon
(or in the case of any Unsuitable Unit, the arrival day (up to midnight)), until
the earlier of: (a) the day (up to midnight) we receive a valid customer order
for such product or a request from you to return or dispose of the Unit; or (b)
the day (up to midnight) we actually ship the Unit to your designated return
location or dispose of the Unit.
F-9.2 Shipping and Gift Wrap. For any Amazon Fulfillment Units we will
determine the amounts charged to the customer for shipping and gift wrap
services for the Units that we fulfill through the FBA Program. As between
you and us, these charges will be your charges to the customer, and we will
report them to you. We will charge you (and you will pay us) a fee equal to
the amount of such charges to the customer. In the case of shipments of
Units sold through the Amazon Site that qualify for the "Free Shipping"
promotion, the amounts charged to the customer for shipping the Selling on
Amazon Units that Amazon fulfills will first be charged to the customer and
will next be deducted from the total charges to the customer as your
promotion and Amazon will not charge you the fee described above. If you

pursuant to Section F-3.3, you will reimburse us for the actual amounts
charged to us by the applicable carrier for such shipments.

deprive the Releasing Parties of each and all such Losses and prevent the
Releasing Party from asserting any such Losses against the Released Parties,

FBA Definitions
"Amazon Fulfillment Units" means Units fulfilled using FBA that are sold
through the Amazon Site. For avoidance of doubt, if you have successfully
registered for or used both the FBA and Selling on Amazon Services, then
the term "Amazon Fulfillment Units" and the defined term "Amazon Fulfilled
Products" in the Selling on Amazon Service Terms both refer to the same
items.

The "Selling Partner APIs" enable your systems to interface with certain
features or functionality we make available to you. These Selling Partner API
Terms concern and apply only to your use of the Selling Partner APIs unless
specifically provided otherwise. Under the Selling Partner API Terms, you
may authorize parties who (a) develop Applications to support you using the
Selling Partner APIs or the API Materials, (b) have registered with us as
Developers, and (c) who have agreed to the Marketplace Developer
Agreement ("Developers") to access Confidential Information and Your
Materials via the Selling Partner APIs. If you wish to use the Selling Partner
APIs directly or develop software or a website that interfaces with the
Selling Partner APIs or the API Materials (an "Application"), you must register
as a Developer.
We may make available Selling Partner APIs (including the Marketplace Web
Services APIs) and software, data, text, audio, video, images, or other
content we make available in connection with the Selling Partner APIs,
including related documentation, software libraries, and other supporting
materials, regardless of format (collectively the "API Materials") that permit
your systems to interface with certain features or functionality available to
you. You may authorize Developers to access your Materials via the Selling
Partner APIs solely for the purpose of supporting your business on Amazon.
All terms and conditions applicable to the Selling Partner APIs and the API
Materials in this Agreement are solely between you and us. API Materials
that are public or open source software ("Public Software") may be provided
to you under a separate license, in which case, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, that license will govern your use of those API
Materials. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent expressly
prohibited by the license governing any API Materials that are Public
Software, all of the non-license provisions of this Agreement will apply.

For the avoidance of doubt, these Selling Partner API Terms do not provide
you a license to directly access or use the Selling Partner APIs, or install,
copy, use, or distribute API Materials. Direct use of the Selling Partner APIs

you must maintain their secrecy and security. You are solely responsible for
all activities that occur using your Account Identifiers and Credentials,
regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you or a third party
(including your employees, contractors, or agents). You will provide us with
notice immediately if you believe an unauthorized third party may be using
your Account Identifiers and Credentials or if your Account Identifiers and
Credentials are lost or stolen. We are not responsible for unauthorized use of
your Account Identifiers and Credentials.
You are solely responsible for authorizing others to access the Selling
Partner APIs on your behalf and taking your own steps to maintain
appropriate security, protection, and backup of Your Materials. We are not
responsible for any unauthorized access to, alteration of, or deletion,
