Update to Amazon Digital Publication Distribution Agreement
Back in September, I added Sexy Librarian to Amazon’s Kindle catalog, thereby subscribing to the terms and conditions of Amazon’s Digital Text Platform. Today I received an email that these terms would be amended in 15 days.
Here is a list of the changes, which, incidentally, I agreed to:
• Section 2: We modified the procedures for amending the terms of the Agreement.
• Section 3: We modified the termination provision, including by providing that you or we may terminate the Agreement at any time.
• Section 4: We added provisions relating to eligibility to participate in the Program, account information, and account security, including that you may only maintain 1 account at a time, and that if you have multiple accounts, you will have 30 days to consolidate your accounts.
• Section 5.1: We added provisions relating to delivery, content requirements, rejection, withdrawal, and reformatting of Digital Books.
• Section 5.3.1: We modified the provision regarding list prices for Digital Books.
• Section 5.4.2: We removed the obligation to have a U.S. bank account to participate in the Program, to allow international publishers to participate in the Program. We also added a provision for circumstances under which we are entitled to withhold payments for a period of time.
• Section 5.6: We added a provision regarding our use of geofiltering technology.
• Section 5.7: We added a rights dispute resolution provision relating to claims of copyright infringement.
• Section 7: We added a provision covering confidential information.
