🚫 USE OF AMAZON TRADEMARKS (AMAZON MARKS)

  • No implied endorsement: Don’t use Amazon Marks in ways that suggest Amazon endorses you or your site.

  • No misuse or alterations: Always use official Amazon Marks as provided — no changes to proportion, color, font, or design.

  • No negative association: Avoid using Marks in any way that disparages Amazon or damages its reputation.

  • No offline use: Don’t place Amazon Marks in offline materials (like flyers, brochures) or emails.

  • Clear display: Keep Amazon Marks separate with enough spacing, on backgrounds that don’t interfere with readability.

🔍 PAID SEARCH & KEYWORD BIDDING

  • You cannot bid on Amazon-owned keywords (e.g., “Amazon,” “Kindle,” or any trademark listed in the Non-Exhaustive Trademarks Table).

  • Paid search ads are allowed for general keywords (e.g., “best laptops under 50k”) if:

  • The ad directs users to your site first.

  • Your site uses Special Links to redirect to Amazon (not directly via ads).

  • Ensure compliance with both the Operating Agreement and search engine policies.

🛍 THIRD-PARTY TRADEMARKS

You may not display or use trademarks of other sellers or vendors from Amazon sites in connection with Special Links — unless you have explicit written authorization from that seller/vendor.

💡 Pro Tip: Bookmark the Operating Agreement and review it regularly. Amazon updates policies, and staying compliant helps safeguard your earnings
