2. Data Processing

The Buy with Prime Data Processing Terms (see Appendix 1 located below) apply to the extent we process Personal Information, as defined and specified in the Buy with Prime Data Processing Terms.

3. Buy with Prime

3.1 General. Buy with Prime enables you to offer a Prime checkout, delivery, and returns experience on your own direct-to-consumer sales channels (“Your Store”). Buy with Prime is offered through a checkout solution hosted by Buy with Prime (“Buy with Prime Hosted Checkout”) and integrations with checkout hosted by ecommerce providers. We grant you the limited right to install the Buy with Prime button on Your Store. If you use Buy with Prime, you agree to comply with the Buy with Prime Program Policy located here (and any successor or related site designated by us), as may be updated by us from time to time.

3.2 Your Store. You are responsible for the operation of Your Store. Each sale of a product through Buy with Prime from Your Store is a sale by you. You will determine what is for sale through Buy with Prime on Your Store, but you may not offer any product through Buy with Prime on Your Store that is prohibited by applicable law or the Buy with Prime Program Policy. You will determine the sale price of each product offered through Buy with Prime on Your Store. You may not charge shoppers a fee to use their Prime benefits through Buy with Prime (for example, you may not charge a fee for delivery or for return of products purchased through Buy with Prime).

3.3 Prime Member Information. You agree that you will not engage in any deceptive, fraudulent or misleading act or omission with respect to your use of Buy with Prime or act in any manner which, in our sole discretion, compromises shopper trust or degrades the Prime membership program. You may not share information with any third party that identifies shoppers as Prime members unless it is solely for the purpose of providing a service to you.

3.4 Taxes on Buy with Prime Orders. You are responsible for the calculation, validation, and payment of any and all sales, use, excise, import, export, value added, withholding, and other taxes and duties assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, reported or paid to any authority (“Taxes”) for any reason in connection with any Buy with Prime orders. You acknowledge and agree that Buy with Prime is not a marketplace, and each sale of a product through Buy with Prime from Your Store is a sale between you and the shopper. By default, your tax settings are not activated on your Business Account, and you will need to activate them in the Merchant Console to apply and collect Taxes for Buy with Prime orders placed using the Buy with Prime Hosted Checkout. When tax settings are activated on your Business Account, sales tax will be calculated for each Buy with Prime order based on the tax rates and override rules that you configure in the settings. You should not consider any information we provide as tax, legal, or other professional advice and should consult with a tax professional for your specific tax situation to assess which tax rates you should apply. The Tax Function Terms (see Appendix 2 located below) (and any successor or related site designated by us), as may be updated by us from time to time, apply to your use of the Tax Function for Buy with Prime, as defined and specified in the Tax Function Terms.

3.5 Return Labels and Order Tracking. We may engage third party suppliers for product return label generation and shipment tracking of Buy with Prime orders. We make no representation or warranty whatsoever: (i) in respect of the accuracy and integrity of the information provided by the third-party mail carrier; or (ii) that the information will be communicated in a timely manner.
