Last Updated: 1st April 2022

Amazon API is not affiliated or endorsed by Amazon in any way and does not make use of any API provided by Amazon. Amazon API provides web-scraped data from public domain sources. All trademarks and copyright are the property of their respective owners.

By accessing the Service and Data at Amazonapi.com, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms of service, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site. The materials contained in this website are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law.

Usage License

Amazon API is a business-to-business service and does not provide end-user (consumer) services. As such you will be asked for your business name when signing up for a paid plan.

Permission is granted to download the materials (information or software) on the Amazon API website and Service for as long as your use case requires. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not:

• Attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on the Amazon API website or Service.
• Remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials.
• Register more than one API key at any one time.
• Mirror the materials on any other server as-is with no-value-added.
• Attempt to circumvent any restrictions or limits placed on your API key or account.

This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by Amazon API at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. Upon terminating your Amazon API subscription or upon the termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, waiver and release, indemnity and limitations of liability.

Data License

As part of the Amazon API Service, Amazon API collects and generates certain Data by aggregating information regarding publicly available web pages, utilizing Amazon API's proprietary technology.

Data accessible through Amazon API may contain third party content (such as text, images, videos). This content will remain the sole responsibility of those who make it available. In some cases public-domain content accessible Amazon API may also be subject to intellectual property rights. If this is the case you may not use it unless you are licensed to do so or are otherwise permitted by law.

Unless applicable by law or expressly permitted by the owner, you will not, and will not permit your end users or others acting on your behalf to, do any of the following with the Data returned from the API:

• Misrepresent the ownership or the source.
• Obscure, remove or change any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
• Falsify or delete any author attributions, legal notices, or other labels of the origin or source of material.

Data Retention & Logging

By using the Amazon API Service, you will make API requests passing in parameters containing data or attributes specific to the request you wish to make.

Real-Time API Requests

Amazon API does not retain, log, cache, share or otherwise store any request parameters sent to the real-time API endpoint outside of the duration of the request. When the API has returned data from a real-time request none of the request parameters specified in that request, or the results generated by the API running that request, are stored by Amazon API.

API Requests run via Collections

Amazon API provides a Collections feature as a convenience to the user to allow for enqueuing a large number of requests and having them execute concurrently on Amazon API infrastructure. Requests added to Collections, and the Result Sets generated from running Collections, are stored on Amazon API until deleted by the user. Collection Result Sets are automatically deleted after 14 days have elapsed from the date that the Collection was run. The purpose of storing the Result Sets of Collections is as a convenience to the user to allow sufficient time for them to be downloaded. Collections Result Sets, or the requests added to Collections, are only accessible to the user who added them and are not shared or made available for any other purpose.

Accuracy of Materials

The materials appearing on the Amazon API website and Service could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. Amazon API does not warrant that any of the materials on its website are accurate, complete or current. Amazon API may make changes to the materials contained on its website at any time without notice. However Amazon API does not make any commitment to update the materials.

Payment

By selecting a paid plan you agree to pay Amazon API the monthly or annual subscription fees indicated for that service. Payments will be charged on a pre-pay basis on the day you sign up for a paid plan and will cover the use of that service for a monthly or annual subscription period as indicated. You represent and warrant that you are authorized, or have the permission of the authorized signatory of the credit card or charge card provided to Amazon API, to pay any fees incurred from use of the Service.

Unless you notify Amazon API before the end of the applicable subscription period that you want to cancel a paid account, your paid subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable annual or monthly subscription fee (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on record for you. If you exhaust the allocation of API requests included in your plan you authorize us to collect the then-applicable fee (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on record for you in exchange for another block of API requests. Paid plans can be canceled at any time in the Account section of the Amazon API Service.

Unused API requests included in your plan do not roll over at the end of the month.

Amazon API allows you to exceed your paid plans API requests, this is referred to as "Overage". The Overage limit is configurable in the Account section of the Amazon API Service. Overage is charged daily. The Overage rate (that is, the charge per Overage API request) is displayed on the Account section of the Amazon API Service. By enabling Overage you represent and warrant that you are authorized, or have the permission of the authorized signatory of the credit card or charge card provided to Amazon API to pay any Overage charges.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your monthly or annual subscription at anytime. However Amazon API will not refund subscription fees for the current or previous period(s).

Service Level Agreement

Certain Amazon API Plans include a Service Level Agreement (SLA) provision, as described below. Please see the Plans Page for details of which Plans include an SLA.

If we do not achieve and maintain the Service Levels as described in this SLA, then you will be eligible for a 10% refund on your monthly service fee.

This SLA does not apply to any performance or availability issues that are:

• Due to factors outside our reasonable control (for example, natural disaster, war, acts of terrorism, riots, government action, or a network or device failure external to our data centers, including at your site or between your site and our data center).
• That result from the use of services, hardware, or software not provided by us, including, but not limited to, issues resulting from inadequate bandwidth or related to third-party software or services.
• Caused by your use of a Service after we advised you to modify your use of the Service, if you did not modify your use as advised.
• During or with respect to preview, pre-release, beta or trial versions of a Service, feature or software (as determined by us).
• That result from your unauthorized action or lack of action when required, or from your employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access to our network by means of your passwords or equipment, or otherwise resulting from your failure to follow appropriate security practices
• That result from your failure to adhere to any required configurations, use supported platforms, follow any policies for acceptable use, or your use of the Service in a manner inconsistent with the features and functionality of the Service (for example, attempts to perform operations that are not supported) or inconsistent with our published guidance.
• That result from faulty input, instructions, or arguments (for example, requests to access data that does not exist).
• That result from your attempts to perform operations that exceed prescribed quotas or that resulted from our throttling of suspected abusive behavior.

Monthly Uptime Calculation

"Monthly Uptime Percentage" for each Service is calculated as Total Request Attempts less Failed Requests divided by Total Request Attempts in a billing month for a given API subscription. Monthly Uptime Percentage is represented by the following formula:

Monthly Uptime % = (Total Request Attempts - Failed Requests) / Total Request Attempts * 100

Note that a Failed Request is defined as a request that would otherwise succeed (i.e. there is nothing wrong with the request parameters) but fails with an HTTP 500 due to an error on Amazon API infrastructure. It explicitely does not include requests that respond with an HTTP redirect code (i.e. to instruct the client to retry the request).

Customer Data

Any personal information collected from Customer will be securely held and processed in accordance with local law and will never be shared with or sold to third parties.

You agree to allow us to send you important notifications via email to the email address we have on record for you. You can opt out from these at any time.
