B. Multi-Channel Fulfillment Service Terms

Multi-Channel Fulfillment (“MCF”) provides fulfillment and associated services for Your Products.

These MCF Service Terms are part of the Agreement, and, unless specifically provided otherwise, concern and apply only to your participation in MCF. If you use MCF, you agree to comply with the Program Policy located here (and any successor or related site designated by us), as may be updated by us from time to time. You expressly agree that Amazon may engage its Affiliate(s) or a third party in order to complete one or more of the fulfillment and associated services outlined below.

B-1 Your Products. You must apply to register each product you offer that you wish to include in the MCF program. We may refuse registration in MCF of any product, including on the basis that it is an Excluded Product or that it violates the Program Policy. You may at any time withdraw registration of any of Your Products from MCF.

B-2 Product and Shipping Information. You will, in accordance with the Program Policy, provide accurate and complete information about Your Products registered in MCF, and will provide Fulfillment Requests for any Units fulfilled using MCF. You will promptly update any information about Your Products in accordance with our requirements and as necessary so that the information is at all times accurate and complete.

B-3 Shipping to Amazon

B-3.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section B-3.4 and Section B-5, MCF is limited to Units that are shipped to and from fulfillment centers located within the United States, to be delivered to shoppers in the United States only. You will ship Units to us in accordance with the Program Policy. You will be responsible for all costs incurred to ship the Units to the shipping destination (including costs of freight and transit insurance) and we will not pay any shipping costs. You are responsible for payment of all customs, duties, taxes, and other charges. In the case of any improperly packaged or labeled Unit, we may return the Unit to you at your expense (pursuant to Section A-7) or re-package or re-label the Unit and charge you an administrative fee.

B-3.2 You will not deliver to us any Unsuitable Units; we may reject any shipment of Your Products.

B-3.3 We may, at our option, allow you to ship Units at your expense (as described in Section B-9.2) to fulfillment centers using discounted shipping rates that we may make available to you for certain carriers. In such event, you will use the processes and supply the information that we require for you to obtain such discounted rates. You also must comply with standard operating procedures, weight and size restrictions, and other shipping requirements of the applicable carriers. If we provide you with the estimated shipping costs prior to shipment, you acknowledge and agree that actual 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 Confidential Information in accordance with Section 12.12 of the 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 B-3.3 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.

B-3.4 If you ship Units from outside the United States to fulfillment centers, you will list yourself as the importer/consignee and nominate a customs broker. If Amazon is listed on any import documentation, Amazon reserves the right to refuse to accept the Units covered by the import documents and any costs assessed against or incurred by Amazon will be charged to you, deducted from amounts payable to you, or by other method at our election.

B-3.5 Title of any Unit remains with you unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. Risk of loss for the Units will not pass to Amazon until we accept the Units.

B-4 Storage

We will provide storage services as described in these MCF Service Terms once we confirm receipt of delivery. We will keep electronic records that track inventory of Units by identifying the number of Units stored in any fulfillment center. We will not be required to physically mark or segregate Units from other inventory units (e.g., products with the same Amazon standard identification number) owned by us, our Affiliates or third parties in the applicable fulfillment center(s). If we elect to commingle Units with such other inventory units, both parties agree that our records will be sufficient to identify which products are Units. We may move Units among facilities. If there is a loss of or damage to any Units while they are being stored, we will compensate you in accordance with the Agreement, and you will, at our request, provide us a valid tax invoice for the compensation paid to you. If we compensate you for a Unit, we will be entitled to dispose of the Unit pursuant to Section B-7. At all other times, you will be solely responsible for any loss of, or damage to, any Units. Our confirmed receipt of delivery does not: (a) indicate or imply that any Unit has been delivered free of loss or damage, or that any loss or damage to any Unit later discovered occurred after confirmed receipt of delivery; (b) indicate or imply that we actually received the number of Your Product(s) specified by you for such shipment; or (c) waive, limit, or reduce any of our rights under the Agreement. We reserve the right to change scheduling restrictions and volume limitations on the delivery and storage of your inventory in fulfillment centers in accordance with Section 9 of the Agreement and you will comply with any of these restrictions or limitations.

B-5 Fulfillment

As part of our fulfillment services, we will ship Units from our inventory of Your Products to the shipping address submitted by you as part of a Fulfillment Request. We may ship Units separately that are included in a single Fulfillment Request. 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 Program Policy.

B-6 Customer Returns

B-6.1 You will be responsible for and will accept and process returns of, and provide refunds and adjustments for, any Units in accordance with the Agreement (including the MCF Service Terms).

B-6.2 We will receive and process returns of any Units that were shipped to addresses within the United States in accordance with the Agreement and these MCF Service Terms. Any Sellable Units that are properly returned will be placed back into the inventory of Your Products in the MCF Program. We may fulfill Fulfillment Requests with any returned Units. Except as provided in Section B-7, you will retake title of all Units that are returned by shoppers.

B-6.3 Subject to Section B-7, we will, at your direction, either return or dispose of any Unit that is returned to us by shoppers and that we determine is an Unsuitable Unit.

B-7 Returns to You and Disposal

B-7.1 You may, at any time, request that Units be returned to you or that we dispose of Units, at your expense.

B-7.2 We may with notice return Units to you, including upon termination of these MCF 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 United States, or (c) we cannot make arrangements for you to pay for the return shipment, then the Units will be deemed abandoned and we may elect to dispose of them as appropriate based on the inventory (e.g., by selling, donating, recycling, or destroying) 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) (a) 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 of the Agreement and are exposed to liability towards a third party; (b) if you fail to direct us to return or dispose of any Unsuitable Unit within thirty (30) days after you notify us that the Unit has been recalled; or (c) if you fail to indicate your removal preference for any Unsuitable Unit. Such disposal may be in any manner we deem appropriate (e.g., by selling, donating, recycling, or destroying) and we may retain any proceeds received.

We will schedule removal of your Unsuitable Units, whether for return to you, liquidation or disposal on your behalf, at our earliest discretion (or as otherwise specified in the Program Policy). In addition, you will reimburse us for expenses we incur in connection with any Unsuitable Units.

B-7.3 You may, at any time, request that we dispose of Units. In this case, or if we compensate you for the Units pursuant to Section B-4, 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.

B-7.4 You will promptly notify us of any recalls or potential recalls, or safety alerts of any of Your Products and cooperate and assist us in connection with any recalls or safety alerts, including by initiating the procedures for returning items to you under our standard processes. You will be responsible for all costs and expenses you, we or any of our or your Affiliates incur in connection with any recall or potential recall or safety alerts of any of Your Products (including the costs to return, store, repair, liquidate, or deliver to you or any vendor any of these products). Amazon does not assume any responsibility for implementing any recall, identifying the need for a recall or reporting potential product issues to any federal or state authority.

B-8 Customer Service

For Units we will have no customer service obligations toward shoppers other than to pass any inquiries to your attention at the contact you provide, and to make available a reasonable amount of information regarding the status of the fulfillment of Your Products if you request it and if and to the extent we possess the requested information. You will ensure that all of your policies and messaging to your customers regarding shipping of Your Products and other fulfillment-related matters, reflect our policies and requirements, including with regard to shipping methods, returns, and customer service; and, you will conspicuously display on your website(s), in emails or in other media or communications any specific disclosures, messaging, notices, and policies we require.

B-9 Compensation for Fulfillment Services

B-9.1 Handling and Storage Fees. You will pay us the applicable fees described in the 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 Fulfillment Request 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.

B-9.2 Shipping. If you ship Units to us using the shipping rates that we may make available pursuant to Section B-3.3, you will reimburse us for the actual amounts charged to us by the applicable carrier for such shipments.

B-9.3 Proceeds. We may as appropriate keep part of or all proceeds of any Units that we are entitled to dispose of pursuant to Section B-7 above, or to which title transfers, including returned, damaged, or abandoned Units. You will have no security interest, lien, or other claim to the proceeds that we receive in connection with the sale, fulfillment, and/or shipment of these Units.

B-10 Indemnity

In addition to your obligations under Section 6 of the Agreement, you also agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our Affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents against any Claim that arises from or relates to: (a) the Units (whether or not title has transferred to us, and including any Unit that we identify as yours pursuant to Section B-4), including any personal injury, death, or property damage; (b) any of Your Taxes or the collection, payment, or failure to collect or pay Your Taxes; and, if applicable (c) any sales, use, value added, personal property, gross receipts, excise, franchise, business, or other taxes or fees, or any customs, duties, or similar assessments (including penalties, fines, or interest on any of the foregoing) imposed by any government or other taxing authority in connection with the shipment of Foreign Eligible Products to Foreign Addresses (collectively, “Foreign Shipment Taxes”).

B-11 Release

You, on behalf of yourself and any successors, subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, assigns, and any other person or entity claiming by, through, under, or in concert with them (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), irrevocably acknowledge full and complete satisfaction of and unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever fully discharge Amazon and each of our Affiliates, and any and all of our and their predecessors, successors, and Affiliates, past and present, as well as each of our and their partners, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, and assigns, past and present, and each of them and all Persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, obligations, demands, causes of action, suits, damages, losses, debts, or rights of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, determined or speculative (collectively, “Losses”) which the Releasing Parties now own or hold or at any time have owned or held or in the future may hold or own against the Released Parties, or any of them, arising out of, resulting from, or in any way related to the shipment, export, or delivery of Your Products to Foreign Addresses, including any tax registration or collection obligations. You, on behalf of yourself and all other Releasing Parties, recognize that you, and each of them, may have some Losses, whether in tort, product liability, contract, warranty, or otherwise, against the Released Parties of which you, or any of them, are totally unaware and unsuspecting, or which may arise or accrue after the date you register for or use MCF, which the Releasing Parties are giving up by agreeing to these MCF Service Terms. It is your intention in agreeing to these MCF Service Terms that these MCF Service Terms will deprive the Releasing Parties of each and all such Losses and prevent the Releasing Party from asserting any such Losses against the Released Parties, or any of them. In addition to the foregoing, you acknowledge, on behalf of yourself and all other Releasing Parties that you are familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

You, on behalf of yourself and all other Releasing Parties, expressly waive and relinquish any rights that you had or may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any similar provision of the law of any other jurisdiction, to the full extent that you may lawfully waive all such rights pertaining to the subject matter of these MCF Service Terms.

B-13 Effect of Termination

Your termination rights are set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement. Following any termination of the Agreement or these MCF Service Terms, we will, as directed by you, return to you or dispose of the Units as provided in Section B-7. If you fail to direct us to return or dispose of the Units within fourteen (14) days (or as otherwise specified in the Program Policy) after termination, then we may elect to return and/or dispose of the Units in whole or in part, as provided in Section B-7, and you agree to such actions. Upon any termination of these MCF Service Terms, all rights and obligations of the parties under these MCF Service Terms will be extinguished, except that the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-6, B-7, B-8, B-9, B-11, B-12, and B-13 with respect to Units received or stored by Amazon as of the date of termination will survive the termination.

B-14 Tax Matters

You understand and acknowledge that storing Units at fulfillment centers may create tax nexus for you in any country, state, province, or other localities in which your Units are stored, and you will be solely responsible for any taxes owed as a result of such storage. If any Foreign Shipment Taxes or Your Taxes are assessed against us as a result of performing services for you in connection with the MCF Program or otherwise pursuant to these MCF Service Terms, you will be responsible for such Foreign Shipment Taxes and Your Taxes and you will indemnify and hold Amazon harmless from such Foreign Shipment Taxes and Your Taxes as provided in Section B-10 of these MCF Service Terms.

C. Amazon Warehousing & Distribution Service Terms

Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (“AWD” or “program”) provides upstream, low-cost storage and distribution services for your inventory. AWD includes the use of Multi-Channel Distribution (“MCD”), which enables you to replenish inventory in bulk from AWD to your own warehouse or your third-party warehouses, wholesalers, distributors, and other locations outside of Amazon.

These AWD Service Terms are part of the Agreement and, unless specifically provided otherwise, concern and apply only to your participation in AWD. If you use AWD, you agree to comply with the policies and requirements identified in these AWD Service Terms, as may be updated by us from time to time.

C-1 Product Eligibility. AWD is available only for products that meet the AWD product eligibility requirements, which are subject to change at any time.

C-2 AWD shipment requirements. All AWD shipments are subject to the following requirements:

C-2.1 Shipping and routing requirements: Your shipments must comply with:

C-2.2 Shipments not supported: AWD only supports the shipment types identified on the Send shipments to Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD): Confirm shipping page. Amazon is not responsible for lost or rejected shipments that do not comply with the AWD program page. AWD sites can only receive inventory intended for AWD. You must not send shipments meant to be received at an Amazon fulfillment center to an AWD site or send AWD shipments to an Amazon fulfillment center. You also must not consolidate fulfillment center shipments and AWD shipments in a single truckload. Amazon is not responsible for lost or rejected shipments if fulfillment center shipments and AWD shipments are in the same truckload or for shipments sent to the wrong site type.

C-2.3 Packaging and prep requirements: AWD shipments must comply with the destination channel’s packaging and prep requirements at the individual Unit level. For inventory with both Amazon fulfillment centers and MCD as destination channels or only Amazon fulfillment centers as a destination channel, follow FBA Packaging and prep requirements. Amazon is not responsible for any downstream charges that you may incur due to incorrect packaging.

C-2.4 Product Unit labeling: AWD does not provide product Unit labeling services or relabeling services to fix labels on individual Units. You are responsible for ensuring that Units are labeled in compliance with the destination channel’s labeling requirements, including for Amazon fulfillment centers. Amazon is not responsible for lost or rejected Units that do not have the correct Unit labeling.

C-3 Fees. AWD charges the types of fees described below. For the current rates, go to the program page.

C-3.1 Storage fees are charged once per month for your storage of inventory at AWD sites. We calculate these fees based on the applicable rate for the services used and daily usage on a per-cubic-foot basis. Monthly storage fees will appear on your account during the month following their accrual.

C-3.2 Processing fees cover all inbound and outbound handling activities related to your Units while in AWD sites. Such processing fees will appear on your account once your shipment arrives at an Amazon fulfillment center or other channels via MCD.

C-3.3 Transportation fees are charged per-cubic-foot when your AWD Units are transported to an Amazon fulfillment center or other channels via MCD. Transportation fees will appear on your account once your shipment arrives at an Amazon fulfillment center or other channels via MCD.

C-4 Reimbursements.

C-4.1 Eligibility: For a Unit to be eligible for reimbursement under this section, all of the following must be true:

  • The ASIN is present in your inventory catalogue at the time it is lost or damaged.
  • There was a valid AWD appointment for the shipment the Unit was sent in.
  • The Unit complies with the AWD product eligibility requirements and with the AWD shipment requirements described in these terms and conditions.
  • You have sent us the exact Units and quantities stated in your shipping plan.
  • The Unit was shipped via a supported shipping method as identified on the AWD program page (except that this eligibility criteria does not apply if Amazon confirms it received a Unit shipped via an unsupported method but then subsequently loses or damages it in the AWD facility).
  • The shipment for the Unit is not in canceled or deleted status.
  • The Unit is not defective.
  • When a lost or damaged Unit claim is filed, under review, and during any appeals, your account must be in normal status.

C-4.2 AWD fee reimbursement for box dimensions: This provision applies to the reimbursement of AWD storage and transportation fees that we determine were charged using inaccurate box dimensions. This provision does not apply to fee types besides AWD storage and transportation fees. If we confirm that AWD storage and transportation fees were charged using inaccurate dimensions, we will reimburse you the difference between the fees as charged and the fees based on the corrected measurements. If the dimensions that you provide vary from our verified measurement, our measurement will govern. A box is not eligible for a remeasurement request if the box has already been remeasured twice in the past 60 days, or if there are no available boxes of that MSKU at an AWD site.

  • Claim window: You must submit your request within 90 days of the date on which the fee was charged. Claims submitted outside of this window are not eligible for reimbursement.
  • Submitting a claim: Before submitting a claim, review the dimension data in your fee reports and determine whether the dimensions used in the fee calculation are different from what you expected. If you have reviewed the dimension data in a fee report and you still believe it is inaccurate, contact Amazon Support or your account manager and open a research request. Amazon will only accept one claim per fee charge. Additional claims for the same fee charge will be declined. After we review your request, we will notify you if you are eligible for reimbursement.

C-4.3 AWD inventory reimbursement: If a Unit you send to us as part of the program is lost or damaged at an AWD facility or by a carrier operated by Amazon or on behalf of Amazon through the program, we will replace that Unit with a new Unit of the same FNSKU or we will reimburse you for it. If your Unit is eligible under this section and we haven’t already reimbursed you, you can file a reimbursement claim by submitting a case to Amazon Support. Amazon will only accept one lost or damaged shipment claim per shipment and one AWD facility operations claim per box. Additional claims for the same shipment or box will be declined.

  • Lost or damaged shipments: When filing a claim for lost or damaged shipments, you must follow these provisions of the MCF inventory reimbursement policy: Shipment to Amazon claims: You must provide the information and documents described in the “Submit your claim” section, and we may ask you to provide additional information. You must submit your claim within the specified claim window for lost or damaged shipments in the MCF inventory reimbursement policy, with the claim window starting on the verified date that the shipment was delivered to an AWD site or to a third-party facility operated on Amazon’s behalf. Claims submitted outside this window are not eligible for reimbursement.
  • AWD facility operations: When filing a claim for Units lost or damaged by an AWD facility, you must submit your claim within the claim window specified in the MCF inventory reimbursement policy: Fulfillment center operations claims, with the claim window starting on the date that the Unit was identified by Amazon as lost or damaged. Claims submitted outside this window are not eligible for reimbursement.
  • AWD transportation: Units that are lost or damaged in transit to an Amazon fulfillment center will be replaced or reimbursed pursuant to the MCF inventory reimbursement policy. For Units that are lost or damaged in transit to other channels via MCD, you must provide the information and documents described in the “Submit your claim” section in the MCF inventory reimbursement policy: Removals claims, and we may ask you to provide additional information. You must submit your claim within the window specified for removals in the MCF inventory reimbursement policy. Claims submitted outside this window are not eligible for reimbursement.
  • Inventory reimbursement calculation: If we determine that your AWD inventory reimbursement claim is valid, we will reimburse you according to the valuation methodology described in the MCF inventory reimbursement policy.

C-5 Returns to You and Disposal.

C-5.1 You may, at any time, request that Units be returned to you by submitting a request through our MCD service and providing a return shipping address. Standard MCD fees will apply.

C-5.2 We may with notice return Units to you, and you must provide a designated shipping address for the returned Units. If you fail to do so, or if we cannot make arrangements for you to pay for the return shipment via MCD, then the Units will be deemed abandoned and we may elect to dispose of them as appropriate based on the inventory (e.g., by selling, donating, or recycling them) and retain any proceeds we may receive from the disposal. We may dispose of any Unit (and you will be deemed to have consented to our action) 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 of the Agreement and are exposed to liability towards a third party.

C-5.3 You will promptly notify us of any recalls, potential recalls, or safety alerts of any of your products and cooperate and assist us in connection with any recalls or safety alerts, including by initiating the procedures for returning items to you via MCD. You will be responsible for all costs and expenses you, we or any of our or your Affiliates incur in connection with any recall or potential recall or safety alerts of any of your products (including the costs to return, store, repair, liquidate, or deliver to you or any vendor any of these products).

C-6 Compliance with these terms and conditions. Failure to comply with these AWD Service Terms may result in the refusal of inventory at the AWD facility, disposal or return of inventory, blocking of future shipments, unplanned charges, and penalties up to and including account suspension and termination.
