We will pay you  referral fees on certain Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link on your site to the Amazon Site and during a single session, add the Product to his or her shopping cart, purchase the Product with digital fulfillment (e.g., digital download or streaming) in the case of Digital Products, or purchase the Product via our 1-Click feature. The session begins when the customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the Amazon Site and ends upon the first to occur of the following events: (a) 24 hours elapses from the customer’s initial click-through, (b) the customer places an order for a Product that is not a Digital Product, or (c) the customer follows a third party link to the Amazon Site that is formatted with an Associate’s tag. We will only pay referral fees on eligible Products after order, payment, and shipping or, in the case of Digital Products, digital fulfillment have occurred.

In addition, you may not: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using Special Links on your site to access the Amazon Site (e.g., by implementing any “rewards” program for persons or entities who use Special Links on your site to access the Amazon Site); (b) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity; (c) in any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other interactive feature of the Amazon Site; (d) make any orders or subscription requests, or engage in other transactions of any kind on the Amazon Site on behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so; (e) take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to our relationship with you, or as to the site on which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are occurring; (f) other than providing Special Links on your site in accordance with this Agreement, post or serve any advertisements or promotional content promoting the Amazon Site or otherwise around or in conjunction with the display of the Amazon Site (e.g., through any “framing” technique or technology or pop-up or pop-under windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take any such action; (g) attempt to circumvent the referral fee schedule or artificially increase your referral fees (e.g. by intentionally featuring, purchasing or requesting or encouraging any third party to purchase low-price items offered on the Amazon Site (as determined by us) for the purpose of exceeding any referral fee threshold or by causing any page of the Amazon Site to open in a customer’s browser other than as a result of the customer clicking on a Special Link on your site); (h) attempt to intercept or re-direct (including, without limitation, via user-installed software) traffic from or on, or divert referral fees from, any web site that participates in the Program; (i) use any Content or Special Link in connection with any handheld, mobile, or mobile phone application without our prior written approval; or (j) seek to purchase or register any keywords, search terms or other identifiers that include the words “amazon,” “endless,” “kindle,” “javari” or any other trademark of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates, or variations or misspellings thereof (for example “ammazon,” “amaozn,” “kindel,” “endlss,” “enldess,” “javary,” etc.) (“Proprietary Terms”) for use in any search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service or other search or referral service. From time to time we may request that you cause any applicable Web search provider to exclude Proprietary Terms from keywords used to display your advertising content in association with search results, assuming the provider of such Web search engine offers such exclusion capabilities. In addition, if you bid on or purchase keywords or otherwise participate in keyword auctions on Google, Yahoo, MSN, or any of the sites that participate in their respective search networks (e.g., AOL, Ask.com, etc.), the paid search advertisements you purchase may not send users directly to the Amazon Site or indirectly to the Amazon Site via automatic redirection from a site other than the Amazon Site (i.e., without a click or other affirmative act by the user on that intermediate site). However, nothing in this Agreement prohibits you from purchasing paid search advertisements to send users to your site and then, when the user affirmatively clicks on a Special Link on your site to the Amazon Site, directing that user to the Amazon Site. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any of the foregoing activities or, as the case may be, refused promptly to comply with a request from us to exclude Proprietary Terms from any keyword as mentioned above, we may (without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this Agreement.

We will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to a customer’s Shopping Cart or are purchased via our 1-Click feature after the customer has reentered the Amazon Site (other than through a Special Link from your site), as determined by us, even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to the Amazon Site. In addition, gift cards that are not redeemable on the Amazon site are not eligible to earn referral fees. In addition, we will not pay referral fees for any purchases made by customers referred to us through Special Links generated or displayed in response to general Internet search queries or keywords. For avoidance of doubt, the Search Box Link, which searches the Amazon Product catalog, or searches of product databases that include Amazon Products, such as shopping comparison engines, are still eligible for referral fees.

You may not purchase products during sessions initiated through the links on your site for your own use, for resale or commercial use of any kind. This includes orders for customers or on behalf of customers or orders for products to be used by you or your friends, relatives, or associates in any manner. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement.
