last updated on : March 25, 2025 (Current partners - see what has changed here ).
Welcome to Amazon's Affiliate Site (the " Affiliate Site "). Here you can manage your Marketing Partner relationship with the applicable Amazon entities listed in Appendix 1 (" Amazon " or " us " or similar designation).
Translations are available in the following languages: English , French , Italian , Spanish , and Polish . In case of any discrepancy between the translations, the English version prevails.
Individuals or entities participating or wishing to participate in our Marketing Partner Program (the " Associates Program ") (" you " or an " Associate ") must accept, without modification, the Amazon Associates Program Participation Agreement (this " Agreement "). By registering on or using the Associate Site, you agree to this Agreement, including the Program Policies (as defined in Section 12), which are incorporated herein by reference (for example, the Associates Program Eligibility Requirements, the Associates IP License, the Associates Compensation Guidelines, and the Associates Brand Guidelines). Content you post on the Amazon.com website must comply with Amazon's Community Guidelines, including the prohibition on customer reviews being created, edited, or removed in exchange for compensation. Please read these guidelines and policies carefully.
The Associates Program enables you to earn money from your website, user-generated social media content, online software application, or Alexa Skill (only available to Associates using an Amazon UK Website Associate ID and offering products on amazon.co.uk) (your "Site " ) by linking your Site to any of the Amazon Sites listed in Exhibit 1 or, if available in your location, another site included in the Associates Program compensation catalog (each, an " Amazon Site ") or (ii) the Associate ID in the Alexa Skill (via the Alexa Shopping Kit). Such links must comply with this Agreement and use the marked-up link formats provided by us (" Affiliate Links ").
When our customers click on or connect to the Affiliate Links to purchase a product or service offered through the Amazon website or take other actions, you may receive compensation for qualifying purchases as further described in the Associates Program Compensation Policy (and subject to the limitations set forth therein). To support your promotion of these products or services, we may provide you with data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content and other linking tools, application programming interfaces, Alexa functionality, and other information related to the Associates Program (the " Program Content "). The term "Program Content" expressly does not include data, images, text, or other information or content related to products offered on websites that are not Amazon websites.
Your participation in the Affiliate Program and receipt of compensation is conditioned on your compliance with this Agreement.
You are obligated to promptly provide us with any information we request to verify your compliance with this Agreement.
In the event that you breach this Agreement or any other applicable Amazon Marketing Agreements, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to us, we reserve the right to permanently suspend (and you agree not to be entitled to any compensation) all compensation otherwise payable to you under this Agreement without further notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law), whether directly or indirectly related to the breach, and without prejudice to Amazon's right to seek compensation for any further damages.
Your participation in the Associates Program does not convert our customers into your customers. As between you and Amazon, all prices, terms of sale, rules, policies, and procedures related to customer orders, customer service, and product sales stated on the Amazon Site apply to those customers and are subject to change at any time. You will not maintain or manage any contact with our customers; if one of our customers contacts you regarding a matter related to their interaction with the Amazon Site, you will inform that customer that they should follow the contact instructions provided on the Amazon Site for customer service questions.
You represent and warrant that (a) you will participate in the Partner Program and create, maintain, and operate your website in accordance with this Agreement; (b) neither your participation in the Partner Program nor the creation, maintenance, or operation of your website violates any applicable laws, regulations, rules, orders, concessions, guidelines, codes of conduct, industry standards, self-regulatory rules, court judgments and orders, or other requirements of any authority having jurisdiction over you (including those relating to electronic communications, data protection, advertising, and marketing); (c) you are legally able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor or otherwise legally incompetent); (d) you have independently evaluated the benefits of participating in the Partner Program and are not relying on any representations, warranties, or statements not expressly contained in this Agreement; (e) you will not participate in the Partner Program or use any Service Offerings if you are subject to U.S. trade sanctions or U.S.-compliant trade sanctions of any country in which you access Service Offerings; (f) you will comply with all U.S. export and re-export restrictions and applicable non-U.S. export and re-export restrictions that are consistent with the provisions of U.S. law and may apply to the goods, software, technology, and services; and (g) the information you provide in connection with the Partner Program will be accurate and complete at all times. You can update your information by logging into your account via the Partner Website and selecting "Account Settings."
We make no representations or warranties regarding the volume of visitors and compensation you can expect in connection with the Affiliate Program, and we are not responsible for any actions you take based on such expectations.
You must clearly and conspicuously display the following or a substantially similar notice permitted under this Agreement on your website or anywhere else where Amazon may authorize your display or other use of Program Content: "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying sales." Except for this notice, and unless required by applicable law, you will not make any other public statements regarding this Agreement or your participation in the Associates Program without our prior written consent. You will not misrepresent or embellish our relationship with you (including by stating, explicitly or implicitly, that Amazon endorses, sponsors, or recommends you), and you will not represent or imply any affiliation between Amazon and you or any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement.
The term of this Agreement begins upon your registration for or use of the Partner Website. This Agreement may be terminated by either you or us at any time, for convenience or for cause, by written notice to the other party (automatically and without recourse to court if permitted by local law), with such termination taking effect seven calendar days after the date of notice. You may terminate by logging into your account via the Partner Website and selecting the option to close your account under "Account Settings."
Furthermore, we may terminate this Agreement or suspend your account at any time for cause without notice by giving you written notice: (a) if you materially breach your obligations under this Agreement; (b) if you fail to cure any other breach of this Agreement (including any Program Policies) within 7 days of our notice to you; (c) if we are concerned that Amazon may be exposed to potential legal action or liability in connection with your participation in the Associates Program; (d) if your participation in the Associates Program has been used for fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal purposes; (e) if we believe that Amazon's brand or reputation may be damaged by you or your participation in the Associates Program; (f) if we believe that Amazon is or may become subject to any tax withholding obligation in connection with this Agreement or the activities conducted by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement; (g) if we have previously terminated this Agreement (or suspended your account) with you or anyone we believe to be affiliated with or acting in concert with you, for any reason whatsoever; or (h) if we terminate the Affiliate Program as generally offered. Exempt from and without limiting paragraph (a) above, any breach of the provisions of Section 5 and any violation of the Program Policies will be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
We may retain any accrued and unpaid compensation for a reasonable period after termination to ensure that the correct amount is paid (for example, to account for any cancellations or returns).
Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties, including all licenses/rights of use granted in connection with this Agreement, shall terminate; except for the rights and obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 of this Agreement and the Program Policies, as well as any accrued but unfulfilled payment obligations under this Agreement, which shall survive termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the parties from any liabilities already incurred under this Agreement or liability for any breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to its termination.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Program Policies, this Agreement shall govern.

You are not authorized to make or accept any offers or commitments on behalf of Amazon or our affiliates. If you authorize, assist, solicit, or enable any other person or entity to take any action related to the subject matter of this Agreement, you will be deemed to have performed such action.

Such changes, excluding any increases in the Standard Partner Program Compensation and Special Compensation, will become effective on the date set forth above, but no earlier than seven calendar days after the date of notice.
