Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment Customer Agreement
Dated: May 30, 2024
This Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment Customer Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Services (as defined below) and is an agreement between you or the entity you represent (“you,” or “your”) and Amazon.com Services, LLC and any of its applicable Affiliates (also referred to as “Amazon,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Agreement takes effect when you click the “Register” button on Our Site (“Effective Date”). By registering for or using the Services, you (on behalf of yourself or the business you represent) agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the Service Terms. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in this Agreement.
1. Use of the Services
1.1 Generally. You may access and use the Services in accordance with this Agreement. You will comply with the terms of this Agreement and all Laws applicable to your use of the Services. We retain the right to immediately suspend services or refuse to fulfill any order for any unlawful items, or any items otherwise prohibited by the Service Terms. We may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services for any reason without notice, except to the extent notice is required by applicable Law.
1.2 Your Account. To access the Services, you must have an account associated with a valid e-mail address and a valid form of payment. Any personal data you provide to us will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Notice. Unless explicitly permitted by the Service Terms, you will only create one account per email address.
2. Fees and Payments
2.1 Service Fees. We calculate and bill fees and charges monthly. We may bill you more frequently for fees accrued if we suspect that your account is fraudulent or at risk of non-payment. You will pay us the applicable fees and charges for use of the Services using one of the payment methods we support. All amounts payable by you under this Agreement will be paid to us without set-off or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Fees and charges are effective when fees and charges are provided to you or posted on Our Site, unless we otherwise state in a notice. We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services you are using by giving you at least 30 days’ prior notice. We may elect to charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments.
2.2 Taxes. Each party will be responsible, as required under applicable Law, for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions to these fees and charges) that are imposed on that party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments under this Agreement. All fees payable by you are exclusive of Indirect Taxes, except where applicable Law requires otherwise. We may charge and you will pay applicable Indirect Taxes that we are legally obligated or authorized to collect from you. You will provide such information to us as reasonably required to determine whether we are obligated to collect Indirect Taxes from you. All payments made by you to us under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding, as may be required by Law. If any such deduction or withholding (including but not limited to cross-border withholding taxes) is required on any payment, you will pay such additional amounts as are necessary so that the net amount received by us is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Agreement. We will provide you with such tax forms as are reasonably requested in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or deduction for taxes in respect of payments made under this Agreement.

You are solely responsible for all obligations associated with the use of any third party service or feature that you permit us to use on your behalf, including compliance with any applicable terms of use. You will not make any statement that would contradict anything in this section.
12.2 Governing Law; Venue. The laws of the State of Washington, without reference to rules governing choice of laws or the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Amazon and you both consent that any dispute with Amazon or its Affiliates or claim relating in any way to this Agreement or your use of the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration as described in this paragraph, rather than in court, except that (i) either party may elect to proceed in a small claims court that is a Governing Court if your claims qualify; and (ii) you or we may bring suit in the Governing Courts, submitting to the jurisdiction of the Governing Courts and waiving our respective rights to any other jurisdiction, to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. Before you may begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter notifying us of your intent to pursue arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, CSC 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 208 MC-CSC1, Tumwater, WA 98501. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its commercial rules. The expedited procedures of the AAA’s rules will apply only in cases seeking exclusively monetary relief under $50,000, and in such cases the hearing will be scheduled to take place within 90 days of the arbitrator’s appointment. For all cases, the AAA commercial fee schedule governs the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees. The underlying award in the arbitration may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules. Amazon and you each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration Amazon and you each waive any right to a jury trial.
12.3 Trade Compliance. You will not directly or indirectly import, export, re-export, transmit, or cause to be exported, re-exported or transmitted, any commodities, software, or technology to any country, individual, corporation, organization or entity to which such export re-export, or transmission is restricted or prohibited, including any country, individual, corporation, organization, or entity under sanctions or embargoes administered by the United Nations, US Department of State, Treasury or Commerce, the European Union, or any other applicable government authority. You represent that it and the entities that own or control you, and the financial institutions used to pay us under this Agreement, are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (e.g., the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals list and Foreign Sanctions Evaders list, and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Entity List), the European Union or its member states, or other applicable government authority.

You agree that we may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under this Agreement: (a) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or similar transaction; or (b) to any Affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganization; and effective upon such assignment, the assignee is deemed substituted for Amazon as the party to this Agreement.

All waivers by a party must be provided in accordance with the Notice provisions of Section 9 to be effective.
12.9 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
